Mind maps are a great way of showing a picture of information that you need to learn. You can use mind maps for all kinds of learning. They work very well for vocabulary when you are learning a new language.

Draw a circle in the middle of the page and write the vocabulary subject in the middle. For example： transport

Brainstorm some word groups for transport and think of headings for each one. For example： •sea transport •land transport •air transport For each one, draw a short line from the centre circle outwards. Add another circle and write the new group word in the middle.

Look at each group and try to add more groups. For example, in “land transport” there are two sub-groups： •road •rail Draw two more lines, add two more circles and write the two new headings inside them.

When you can’t make any new groups, add a line for each word you know. Write the words along the lines or, if you have space, write them inside more circles.

As you learn new vocabulary, add it to the mind map.

【推荐2】China’s major telecom carriers (电信运营商) will start to provide 5 G services in China. The “G” in 5 G refers to the generations of mobile technologies. 1 G let us talk to each other, 2 G let us send messages, 3 G gave us mobile data (数据) and the Internet, and 4 G made all of these things a little faster.

Now 5 G promises much faster speed, and more connections. This means that you will be able to download an entire HD movie in seconds and only experience a short delay (延迟) between sending and receiving data.

According to The Times, 5 G will be able to improve many advanced technologies. With a 5 G network, the short delay in information exchange will allow driver less cars to run more safely, as they will be able to communicate in real time and avoid possible dangers. Meanwhile, 5 G—enabled wearable products will keep doctors in touch with their patients and warn them right now if there’s something wrong. Besides, VR games will be more popular with 5 G. The short delay of 5 G will make games feel even more real.

But 5 G is not perfect. For one thing, 5 G will not “travel”far. On 4 G networks, you can be 10 kilometers away from the nearest transmission base (传输基地). But 5 G will only cover about 300 meters, meaning that we will need more transmission bases so that we can get signals. And in order to use 5 G, we have to buy new products designed for 5 G that are expensive now.

1. What can’t we do with 5 G?

A．Play games quickly and safely.

B．Experience more network connections.

C．Make VR games more popular.

D．Download an HD movie in seconds.

2. How far can you be away from the nearest transmission base if you use a 5 G mobile phone?

A．About 3 kilometers.	B．About 10 kilometers.
C．About 300 kilometers.	D．About 300 meters.

3. What can we infer from the passage?

A．Fewer transmission bases will be needed in the near future.

B．New products designed for 5 G are inexpensive now.

C．If patients have difficulty, doctors can help them at once with the help of 5 G.

D．There will be no delay in information exchange with 5 G.
