5G networks have been considered as one big thing for this century． They allow people to get faster services． Downloading information takes only seconds， instead of minutes．
But no true 5G phones are able to be used now． It won't work with 5G until such services are built． Users will need an adapter to bring in 5G signals． There's completely no need for users to worry about the safety of 5G signals．
Where will we probably see 5G first？ The answer is in our living rooms． The speeds，about 20 times faster than the standard home Internet connection，are very likely to do wonders in our living rooms． Many users are tired of spending ＄100 or more monthly in booking cable（有线的） TV． They no more choose cable TV and begin to use streaming（在线播放） services connected to their broadband（宽带） service instead．
Besides faster access，connectivity might get a little cheaper in future for users only if a complete 5G network is set up． However， the cost of programs and apps will go up． Meanwhile， users are in great need of ordering more monthly services． Comparatively speaking， users are likely to pay more for 5G services．
So far now， it's mainly used at home． …

All living things on the earth need other living things to live. Nothing lives alone. Most animals must live in a group, and even a plant grows close together with others of the same kind. Sometimes one living thing kills another, one eats and the other is eaten. Each kind of life eats another kind of life in order to live, and together they form a food chain(食物链).Some food chains are simple, while others are not. But all food chains begin with the sun, and all food chains become broken up if one of the links disappears.
All life needs sunlight to live on. But only plants can use sunlight directly. Plants are“factories”.They make food from sunlight, water and things in the soil and air.
Plants feed all other living things. Animals can only use the sun’s energy after it has been changed into food by plants. Some animals feed directly on plants, others eat smaller animals. Meat-eating animals are only eating plants indirectly.
What about human beings? We are members of many food chains. We eat wheat, rice, vegetables, fruits and so on. We also eat meat and drink milk. But men often break up the food chains. They kill wild animals. They also make rivers, lakes and seas dirty. When these rivers, lakes and seas are polluted, the fish in them cannot be eaten. If men eat the fish, they will get strange diseases.

I have never taken cooking classes. I learned cooking from my mother because she was really interested in teaching me how to cook. The main reason for this was because when my mother got married, she didn’t know how to cook anything, not even an egg. My grandmother never allowed her to stay in the kitchen when she was cooking.
My mother did not start to cook until she was 25 years old. In the beginning, it was very hard for her. So, she had to take cooking classes to prepare(准备) our meals. After having that experience, she decided to teach me how to cook because she didn’t want me to have the same experience.
I remember when I was seven years old, and my mother was cooking, I was with her in the kitchen enjoying cooking. I always helped her. Sometimes we prepared meals that my mother already knew how to make, and sometimes we prepared them from recipes. Nowadays, I am really thankful for that experience because I don’t need help to cook a meal. I can cook for me alone or for a group of people; it doesn’t matter.
I will do the same with my children because I don’t want them to have the same experience as my mother. If one day I am not with them, I want to be sure that they can carry on their lives without me. The writer’s mother learned cooking _______.
