Do you know 5G? What is G? In fact, G is dai in Chinese. 5G   is the fifth generation(代) of mobile network technology. China is always researching and developing this new network.     1    

1G let us talk to each other.     2    3G gave us data(数据) and the Internet. And 4G made all of these things faster. What’s special about 5G?—milliseconds to send and receive data. But 5G will get it down to 1 millisecond or less – this is almost real-time.

This big change will not only make our mobile network faster.     3    Read on to find out how.

5G + entertainment

5G networks are about 100 times faster than 4G. This means you can download a movie in seconds using 5G.Also, VR games will become more popular with 5G. The short time of 5G will make the games feel even more real.

5G + transportation

5G will also bring us safer self-driving cars. These cars can send signals（信号） to each other. They also “talk” to traffic lights and road sensors（道路传感器）.       4    

    5    

“Connecting everything”is a slogan for 5G.IT is a large network that connects everything to the Internet. Smart homes are part of it. For example, your machines in the kitchen could automatically(自动地) start making breakfast after your alarm rings. And if its sensor（传感器） feels the air becoming dry, a smart machine could water your plants by itself.

More importantly, 5G can be used in smart medical services, online education.... It is creating a need in our future life.

【推荐3】On weekends, we often see people flying kites in the park. But do you know the history of kites? Let’s learn about it.

①_________

Kites were once called zhiyuan in North China and yaozi in South China. The name fengzheng came into being during the Five Dynasties. According to a history book, Li Ye, who lived in the Five Dynasties, used to make and fly kites. He once tied a whistle（哨子） which was made of bamboo to the upper part of his kite so that a sound of “zheng” was made when he was flying the kite. The word for wind in Chinese is “feng”, so the word fengzheng came into being.

②_________

How was the kite invented? There are so many different opinions that we don’t know which one is right. But it is widely believed that the earliest kite in the world was made by Mo Di, a famous Chinese philosopher （哲学家）who lived about 2, 400 years ago. He spent three years making a bird with wood and successfully made it fly. The “bird” was later regarded as the first kite in the world. Later, he passed on his kite-making skills to Lu Ban. Lu Ban improved the skills of making kites. He made a kite out of bamboo and it could fly in the air for as long as three days.

③_________

Kite-flying became a kind of recreation （娱乐活动） probably in the Tang Dynasty. At first, only the royal family （王室） and people of the highest class flew kites. Later, the paper-made kite was invented. Paper-made kites were cheaper to make and then they were spread quickly among the common people.

④_________

As time went on, people in different countries began to fly kites. The well-known British scientist, Dr. Needham, once described the kite as an important invention that spread to Europe from China in his book.
