Are you an Internet shopper? If you say “yes” then you must know Ma Yun(Jack Ma), who founded the company Alibaba. Now, he has become one of the richest men in China.
Born in 19 in Hangzhou, Zhejiang, Ma grew up as a happy kid. When he was a teenager, he wanted to learn English.

A woman was at an airport waiting for her flight. She still had a lot of time, so she bought a book and a bag of cookies in the shop, then found a seat to read her book.
While reading, she seemed to see a man next to her take a cookie from the bag in between. With each cookie she took, he took one too. She tried to ignore( 忽视 )it, because she didn’t want to be mad at him. But he kept eating the cookies until there was just one left. With a smile on his face, and a nervous laugh, he took the last cookie, broke it in half and gave one half to her.
“How can this man have the nerve to steal all of my cookies and then offer half a cookie in return?” the woman thought to herself. She angrily took the half-cookie out of his hand and ate it without looking at him.

The Lantern Festival falls on the 15th of the first month of the lunar calendar(阴历). Thisday is always the first full moon in the new year. Ancient people also called it Shangyuan Festival.

Have you heard of 5G? It is the fifth generation( 代 )of mobile network technology. Thesenew networks are just around the corner.
Each mobile network generation is faster and more powerful than the one before it. 1G letus talk to each other. 2G let us send messages. 3G gave us data(数据)and the Internet. And 4Gmade all of these things faster. What’s special about 5G?
About 100 times faster than 4G networks, 5G will let people download and upload data faster than ever before. But 5G won’t just bring faster mobile Internet. People can use it for many other things as well.
For example, 5G will help to make self-driving cars safer. Today’s self-driving test cars have one problem-delay(延迟) When the car “sees” an obstacle(障碍物), it sends this information to a data center and waits for instructions. However, a car accident may take place if the car doesn’t receive instructions in time, 5G networks would reduce the time this takes and make the cars safer.
9
Because of this increase in speed, it will be possible to create and use new kinds of technology. Doctors in different cities can use robots to operate on patients without any delay.
5G also makes the Internet of Things(loT) possible. loT refers to a large online network that connects all things and people. Smart homes are part of it. For example, with loT, your fridge could order eggs online itself when it finds that there are no eggs left inside. And you can operate your air conditioner on the smart phone before returning home.
( ) 47. What is special about 5G?
A. Smart phones become smaller. B. It makes a phone call possible. C. It is much faster and more powerful. D. People surf the Internet with smart phones.

A. Delicious food is ready when you get home. B. Doctors do operations on self-driving cars. C. People do not go to the cinemas. D. There are no more car accidents.
( ) 50. What is the best title of the passage?
