If you have a wireless router, a device that spreads the broadband connection to other devices, you can set up a Wi-Fi network, which enables your cellphones and tablets go online too. And when you are outdoors where there is no Wi-Fi, such as in the park or at the beach, having 3G service allows you to stay connected. It seems that lots of us have Internet coverage everywhere we go. So why have mobile companies around the world lately been so enthusiastic about a new term, “4G”? First, you need to know that the letter “G” stands for “generation”. Even if you have no idea what 4G is, at least you can figure out that it is a step up from 3G since its the latest generation of mobile Internet service. Unlike broadband, mobile Internet uses the same signal towers that provide voice service to your cellphone, which means wherever you can make phone calls with your cellphone you also have an Internet connection. But mobile connections have their defects they dont carry as much information as broadband does, making opening websites and downloading music slower than they are on a Wi-Fi connection. This is why mobile connections have been constantly upgraded since the first generation was launched back in the 1980s. According to BBC, 4G is five to seven times faster than current 3G network speeds, almost as fast as home broadband. Because of this, 4G is widely suited for services like video downloading, mapping, online shopping and even video conferencing. To achieve the high speeds, network companies have to spend a lot of money on building new signal towers, which will eventually lead to a higher phone bill if you switch to 4G, and you will also have to get a new phone with 4G capacity.31. What is paragraph 1 mainly about?A. The development of Wi-Fi. B. Various ways to get access to the Internet.C. The influences of the Internet on our life. D. The convenience of using cellphones.32. The underlined word “defects” in Paragraph4 probably means_.A. disadvantages B. functions C. qualities D. benefits33. What is the weakness of 3G compared with 4G?A. Its voice is not as clear as 4G.B. It cant satisfy the users basic needs.C. Its network speeds are much slower.D. It has much less popularity than 4G.34. What does the author think of 4G service?A. Its service is worth the price.B. There is no need to develop it.C. It takes time to be widely used.D. It provides good service at a higher price.BEveryone has got two personalities the one that is shown to the world and the other that is secret and real. You dont show your secret personality when you're awake because you can control your behavior, but when you're asleep, your sleeping position shows the real you. During a normal night, of course, people frequently change their position. The important position is the one that you go to sleep in. If you go to sleep on your back, youre a very open person. You normally trust people and you are easily influenced by fashion or new ideas. You dont like to upset people, so you never express your real feelings. Youre quite shy and you aren't very confident. If you sleep on your stomach, you are a rather secretive person. You worry a lot and you're always easily upset. Youre very stubborn, but you aren't very ambitious. You usually live for today not for tomorrow. This means that you enjoy having a good time. If you sleep curled up, you are probably a very nervous person. You have a low opinion of yourself and so youre often defensive. You're shy and you don't normally like meeting people. You prefer to be on your own. You're easily hurt. If you sleep on your side, you have usually got a well-balanced personality. You know your strengths and weaknesses. Youre usually careful. You have a confident personality. You sometimes feel anxious, but you don't often get depressed. You always say what you think even if it annoys people.35.

I asked them to write a letter to a friend as if it was ten years in the future. Most of these boys and girls didnt think about the next week，much less ten years to come. Like the Cheshire Cat says in Alice in Wonderland, “If you dont know where you want to go，then it doesnt really matter what road you take!” We had some great conversations as they really thought about what they wanted. For most of them, this was the first time they had ever thought this way! But the real story is what happened to me. I did the exercise right along with them on many occasions, writing my dreams and visions in detail. In my letter to a friend, I had moved to the country, built my own home，authored a book，and started my own business. Over the next ten years, something magic happenedAll my dreams and visions became a reality, almost as if arranged by an unseen hand. I did write books and start my business. We did move to the country and I did build my own homeThis letter to a friend will become a magnetic factor in your life. Your vision will guide you in your yearly goals, your monthly goals，and your daily activities. For example “Leslie，I just wanted to make contact again and tell you about my life. I started my own gardening business in 2020 and its really taken off. ”Remember to describe all the details as if they have already happened. Write to a real person who you think may still know in ten years. This will help make it more real for youSit down and write your Ten Years in the Future letter today39.

Happiness waits for those who cry, those appreciate the importance of people who have touched their livesAlways put yourself in others shoesIf you feel that it hurts you, it probably hurts the other person, tooWhen you were born, you were crying and everyone around you was smilingLive your life so that when you die, you are the one who is smiling and everyone around you is crying43.
