13． "I will learn Chinese!" This idea jumped into my head. It was born of something deep inside. The idea has changed my life completely. When other people asked me why, I often joked that I was inspired by the nice tank of goldfish in the Chinese restaurant my family frequented(频繁光顾) when I was young. In fact, I started studying it because I was always attracted to Chinese culture, and learning the language is the key to achieving my dream of travelling around China.
I was lucky for many reasons. Back in 2010, Chinese was not as popular with foreigners as it is today. However, my family lent me strong support from my first year abroad in China. Even if they cannot see me often and miss me so much, I still have their support. I was also very fortunate that a Confucius Institute opened. I will always thank for its excellent staff and all the great people I met there.
Ni hao! The word "hello" in Chinese was the first word I learned in my first Chinese class. After class I was filled with enthusiasm and couldn't stop thinking about "ni hao" and all the new words yet to come. Not only were more words and phrases waiting, but also the experiences I never expected.

14． 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. . ..

15． Britain was once covered by thick forests, home to many animals which no longer live here. There were wolves, bears and wild cattle with less than four million people. They lived in small villages protected by wooden walls from the animals outside.
However, all this changed. Now Britain's population has increased to 65 million. Three－quarters of Britain consists of fields, towns or cities. Although 25% of land is countryside, new methods of farming mean that there are fewer birds and small animals than ever before. Britain is one of the few countries in the world without a large wild carnivore (食肉动物).
Some people want to change this. Some say that Britain needs to become more natural again and suggest trees and plants that once grew in Britain should be allowed to grow again. They even say that large wild animals which have not lived in Britain should be helped to return and live wild. They call this "rewilding".
Not everyone agrees. In the last twenty years, over one million trees have been planted and there are plans for more－but wild animals? Some people ask if wolves will attack sheep or even humans. They are also angry that rewilding might mean an end to walking in the hills many people enjoy. So far, there are no wolves or bears in Britain's forests — but soon there might be!

16． It is necessary to learn how to communicate with people from other cultures to build good relationships with them. Here are some rules.
Learn about the culture first.        Before meeting with someone from another culture, try to take time to learn the basic "dos and don'ts" of that culture.
       Each culture has its own values, beliefs and prejudices. You shouldn't judge people based on these differences. Instead, respect them for what they are. You may even learn something new.
Speak clearly and slowly. Don't shout at others. Raising your voice doesn't make you easier to understand.        Communication difficulties lie in cultural differences, not because of intelligence.
Understand rules about touching. Some cultures may expect more physical contact(接触) between people. For example, some cultures may shake or touch hands more readily than others.
