26、A hunter once lost his way deep inside the forest chasing a deer. As hard as he tried, he could not find a way out of the forest, nor could he find any food to eat. He started feeling so hungry that he could eat an elephant in one go. Disappointed, he lost all his hope. And that was exactly when an apple tree caught his sight. He collected some apples to feed him for the rest of his search. As he ate the first apple, he felt thankful for finding the tree. He thanked the jungle. He could not believe his luck when he ate the first apple, but he was less thankful while eating the second apple and even less thankful after eating the fifth apple. Somehow, with each passing apple, his hunger refused to go away and he became less happy. He couldn’t enjoy his tenth apple at all.

Why? He had already taken for granted the gift of having found an apple tree in the middle of a forest. When he took the tenth apple in his hand, he was still very hungry, but he just did not feel like eating any more.

The tenth apple did not lack flavor (味道), nor was it unable to end the man’s hunger. The only thing lacking was his thanks for finding food in the middle of the forest. So, always be thankful for what you have and you can be more happy.

27、Shanghai Begins 5G Trials

Look at the top of your phone. You’ll probably see a 3G or 4G symbol. The G stands for the generation of your mobile network. Now, the age of 5G is coming.

On March 30, Shanghai vice-mayor Wu Qing made the first 5G video call on a Huawei Mate X smart phone. CGTN reported Shanghai has also become the first city in China to start testing 5G networks.

5G is about 100 times faster than 4G. It will bring faster mobile Internet, but people can also use it for many other things, such as self-driving cars. There is a big area of discussion about self-driving cars, which we’ve all seen a lot of news about, but we haven’t seen a lot of real cars driving themselves on the streets because it is not safe enough. However, 5G is so much faster, it could allow cars to talk to each other in time, so they can know clearly when other cars are switching lanes, going off the road, passing another car, going too fast and so on. This will help avoid accidents. So probably there will be more self-driving cars in the near future with the help of 5G.

【1】_______ has become the first city in China to start testing 5G networks.

A.Beijing B.Shanghai C.Chongqing D.Shenzhen

【2】5G is about ______ faster than 4G.
