① 2019 marks the first year of the global commercial use of 5G. China is running ahead in this field. In March, 2019, the Shanghai Hongqiao Train Station became world’s first “5G train station”. What’s more, with the technology, it takes only 20 seconds to download a long movie. China is hopeful that we can even experience driver-less cars in daily life soon.
② However, the great technology is still new to most of us. What are the advantages (优势) of 5G? Here are some ideas.
③ It is faster, for sure. It is expected to be at least 10 times faster than 4G. The first 5G modem (猫,调制解调器) of the IT company Qualcomm supports (支持) speeds of up to 5 Gigabytes (千兆字节) per second. Most of us have never experienced anything close to that speed. And we are only talking about the first generation of 5G modems. Future modems are likely to be even faster.
④ But 5G is not all about speed. Have you ever been to a large event where your data (数据) connection slowed down? That is because 4G networks can only support a certain number of devices (设备) per square (平方) meter. 5G networks can do much better. They can support up to a million devices per square kilometer.
⑤ Are you looking forward to that 5G world now? Get ready for the amazing future.

2 . Isn’t spring a beautiful season? Flowers of all colors and shapes can be seen everywhere. They make our world look and smell better. So, it is no surprise that people love flowers! Well…except for one—dandelions(蒲公英)!
In order to have a tidy garden, we try our best to kill all dandelions or dig them out—only to see these unwanted plants grow right back. But that’s not bad because we have good reasons to leave them alone.
In fact, a 2014 study lists dandelions as one of the top 41 healthiest foods. Dandelions are full of vitamins (维生素)K, A,E and C. They have long been used as medicine.
Another great thing about dandelions is that you can eat every part of them, either cooked or
uncooked. You can also put flowers or roots (根) in hot water to make dandelion tea. Great! Nothing goes to waste!
Besides, dandelions are fun for kids! Pick the white top, close your eyes, make a wish and blow! If you blow all of it off in one breath, your wish will come true! This game is played all over the world.
Still unwanted plants? Of course not! Dandelions are good for human health as well as our kitchen. They also provide kids with free toys! So next time when you are blowing them, blow harder —you’re helping this great plant grow in the wild, even if your own wish does not come true!

3 . ①When it comes to Chinese students considering studying in foreign countries, many of them usually believe that life will be easy and enjoyable. Unfortunately, it’s likely that students with those beliefs will be disappointed very soon after landing at the airport.
②So, what are the problems you may have, and how can you deal with them?
③Teaching and learning styles in America are very different from those in China, requiring more critical thinking(批判性思维) and teamwork. In a normal American classroom, one project might be done by a study group in which every person has his/her own responsibility.
④So don’t worry about your language or any grammar mistakes. Just watch what other students do, and don’t be afraid to ask any questions. The discussions, or sometimes ever arguments, that your group members and you hold are likely to be the beginning of a friendship.
⑤Beside schoolwork, another important thing faced by overseas students is homesickness or loneliness. You may miss your parents’ cooking, your pets, or even your old bed. Being away from home can create bitter feelings, especially when faced with the challenges of getting used to a new environment.
⑥What I strongly suggest is to try hard to deal with these feelings. Be open to new friendships. Sign up for school activities, and give yourself permission to enjoy life at school, even if you miss home a lot. Be organized and keep a diary to check your progress. Write down three new things that you’re grateful for every evening, as well as three things you’re looking forward to every morning.
⑦Studying abroad is never simple. In fact, there will be many difficulties every day. But I’m sure you will overcome your difficulties and make your time overseas a success.

5 . It’s sure that having a lovely pet can make people’s home life better—and in fact, it is of great importance in the pet owners’ career lives (职业生涯). In fact, according to a new survey, people with pets may be more successful in their careers and this is good news for those pet parents who want to be successful and powerful.
How could it be possible for those pet owners to have career success? The researchers surveyed 857 people in the United States with different kinds of jobs. Well, according to the research, some successful people said that their pets helped teach them many useful lessons, like being more responsible (有责任心的) and creative, showing love for others, and keeping rules. And all of these are so important in the business world.
What about people who grew up without pets, but have adopted (领养) pets when they are adults (成年人)? Luckily for those, the survey showed that having pets now can also help with their career success.
According to the research, 86 percent of pet parents said owning pets can help them keep a good order in their lives, plan their time better, and finish more work without wasting time or money. But even though you don’t think your pet has truly helped you, it will be greatly useful when your workmates get to know that you have a pet.

9 . If a friend helps us, it’s a good idea to write him a thank-you note. But in fact, how many of us sit down to do this? “People don’ t seem to walk around giving thanks to people quite often,” Professor Kumar said. Why don’t people like to send thank-you notes? And how do people feel when they get one?
Kumar and his team asked some students to write a thank-you note to another person by email. Then, they asked both the writer and the receiver how sending or getting these notes made them feel. Here is the result.
They found that these writers didn’t like to write the notes because they felt like they had to think too much about them. They worried about what to say and how to say it. The receivers, however felt enjoyable when they got the notes. When you are a receiver, you really care about the warmth of the note, “Kumar says. “How friendly and warm was it?”
Also, the writers didn’t like to write the notes because they thought it might be awkward (尴尬的) for the receiver to get a thank-you note. But in fact, it’s not true. “They feel quite happy,” Kumar says. “They don’t really feel awkward at all.” If people knew that writing a thank-you note could be so important to others, they would do it more often, Kumar says.
In a word, simple and small changes in our everyday lives can make a big difference in how we treat (对待) other people and how we feel.

10 . You must have heard and watched the famous TV show Sisters Who Brave Winds and Waves. Unlike other youth idol talent shows, this TV show invited thirty female artists who were born before 1990 to live together and compete with each other as well. These years, they are not as popular as those youth idols. However, since it was shown on the screen, it has won hundreds of millions of fans, flowers and compliments (赞美). But there are also negative (负面的) attention, and those brave sisters are ready to face whatever it comes ahead the roads.
There are hundreds of TV shows in China nowadays, and do you know why it is much more popular than the others? As for me, I do like some of those brave sisters. 
. Ning Jing was born in 1972, and many artists or actresses in her age normally have been out of public attention. But she didn’t think so, and she worked so hard to make her dream come true.

This beautiful direct and warmhearted sister is always ready and brave enough to face the challenges and negative attention.
On talking about the great performances about this TV show, there are too many to talk about, such as Da Wan Kuan Mian, Gentlewoman, Running to yow with all I have … Just like the lyrics (歌词)in the song Da Wan Kan Mian, “Don't say no to yourself easily, you have your world, no one can define you, happiness is the true meaning.” I think they are the voice of those sisters' hearts.
For people who are over thirty or even forty years old, sometimes there will be no more dreams. However, Sisters Who Brave Winds and Waves tells us whenever it is, we can always be brave and ride winds and waves to be the best of ourselves.
