    Sitting among the cheering fans of the Chinese Women's Volleyball Team in Rio de Janeiro, a Polish fan caught a lot of attention. It is not because he is not Chinese, but because he has followed the team closely from the very beginning

    The 60-year-old Jozef fell in love with the Chinese Women's Volleyball Team at the first sight when he watched the girls at the London Olympics on TV in 2012. The Polish man was crazy about the performances of the young team, especially by its core player Hui Ruoqi. Before that Jozef was a loyal fan of his home team﹣ the Polish men's volleyball.

    Since then, Jozef has become crazy about the team and has kept track of almost all their international competitions. Back in the 2013 Montreux Volley Masters of Switzerland, the Polishman, for the first time, came to cheer up for the team on site. He also drove all the way from Polandto Italy to lend support for the girls during the 2014 Women's World Volleyball Championship.

    The hardcore fan traveled hundreds of miles from Poland to Brazil, and booked tickets for allmatches of the Chinese Women's Volleyball. This time, Jozef was interviewed by TV and has been recognized by not just fans, but millions of Chinese TV audience.

    The" Polish grandpa" was a nickname given by Chinese volleyball fans. He has 18,000 followers on Sina Weibo, China's answer to Twitter, where Jozef has been sharing his obsession with Chinese internet users since 2013.

    Last weekend, I took Lucy to a park, where she discovered a track with large bumps(凸块)and sharp tums. At first, I thought Lucy was able to ride her bike along the track, but she quickly found that her bike was too low to the ground and kept getting stuck on top of the bump.

    Lucy looked at me with fear because she was still a biking newbie. I tried to encourage her too, but really, I was thinking﹣this is going to be a disaster. Not because I thought she would get hurt. More because I thought she wouldn't be able to pick up enough speed to balance, then get really discouraged, and give up quickly. I imagined her throwing her bicycle to the ground and then crying all the way home.

    But I was only half right. Lucy did have a lot of trouble riding the bike. She couldn't find her balance. She fell many times. At one point, she almost started crying because younger kids were getting angry that she was slowing everyone else down. But she did not give up. She kept picking herself up and trying again. She even took the bike off the track and into the main park to practice pushing off and picking up speed on a flat ground. When she felt more confident, she came back. Then she did it over and over again until she finally reached her goal of going around the whole track without falling once. Then she didn't want to leave and everyone was cheering her on.

    This was not a day that ended in a disaster. It was a day when Lucy learned that perseverance pays off.

    Chinese companies lead in global 5G patent applications(专利应用) with Huawei taking the crown, according to a report by IPlytics, an authorized patent data company. Three companies from China were included in the top 10 list of 5G Standards﹣Essential Patents(SEPs)family owner. Huawei ranked first. ZET Corp, and China Academy of Telecommunications Technology (CATT)grabbed fifth and ninth places, respectively.

    Chinese companies topped the list for most 5G SEPs applications in communication systems by the end of April 2019, accounting for 34 percent of the world's total. Chinese tech giant Huawei has taken a leading role by owning 15 percent of SEPs, according to the report Who Is Leading the 5G Patent Race？

    5G SEP are patents that any company will have to use when carrying out 5G technology and no one can avoid them.

    Different from 3G and 4G technologies, 5G technology will influence various industries and encourage the appearance of many new products, services and industries.

    The automotive sector will most likely be one of the first industries to depend on 5G, which will connect vehicles to other vehicles, roadsides, traffic lights, buildings and the Internet, according to the report.

    "It is 5G that is going to be a huge jump forward for communication systems because only with 5G's higher bandwidth can a number of applications be more advanced (尖端的) and used by most consumers," said Nicole Peng, senior director of the market research company Canalys.

    As 5G technology has combined various industries and technologies, the number of 5G SEPs rose to more than 60,000 globally by the end of April 2019, the report said.

    When I was a child I always wanted to be "important". I wanted to make my parents 1by doing some notable achievements that would surprise the rest of the world. I wanted to make myself2beyond my wildest dreams. I wanted to be the 3of attention. I wanted to stand out in a4. In short, I wanted to conquer( 征服) the world! Naturally, in response to these dreams, I listed all of the noble 5. Finally, I figured engineers were cool because my idol is an excellent engineer.

    As a parent trainer I am now dealing with helicopter parents﹣ the ones who1 all the difficulties and make it smooth sailing for their kids. Sometimes watching kids 2 without jumping in to fix it for them is the 3 thing parents can do. I appreciate someone who knows when it is time to let kids struggle a little 4 that's real life and Mom (or Dad) won't always be there to give help. So, let kids 5real life and grow up by failing, keeping on trying, never giving up and sometimes 6 learning from making mistakes.7 other words, parents have to be comfortable with the idea of allowing kids to fail as part of the learning 8.What matters in learning? It isn't about whether or not it is perfect or correct. It matters whether or not kids have9to go to places, to see things, to play, to inquire and so on. That is what I think10should do for kids: give them time to be kids: give them chances to grow up and experience life themselves.

    The topic of this programme is environmental protection. We human beings (do) a lot of things at the cost of the environment to develop economy quickly in the past few years. I do think it is time for us to understand the (important) of protecting the environment and do something about it. And today I would like (introduce) some simple but useful ways that we can follow (easy) in our daily life. Firstly, turn lights if it is unnecessary. Then, go out in environment﹣friendly ways such as by bus, by subway or by bike. We can even walk to work when possible,it is really helpful for both of our budget and health. Thirdly, try best to (use)things like books, paper, magazines and so on. And we can also take a cloth bag when we go (shop). Please don't use plastic ones. Of course the public should raise environmental awareness and realize it is (everyone) duty to protect the environment. Last but not least, the government should make laws to guide people's (behave).

    The Grand Canyon(科罗拉多大峡谷) is a large river canyon in Arizona. It is over220 miles long and over a mile deep in some places. Its widest point is 18 miles wide. The canyon is considered one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World.

    Over millions of years, the Colorado River wore away rocks as it passed through the area. Slowly, the river made the path deeper and deeper. Now, the canyon is surrounded by steep walls on either side, while the river continues to flow at the bottom of the canyon.

    Besides its large size, the Grand Canyon is also known for its magnificent colors. The canyon is made of layers of rock(岩层), and each layer of rock has a different depth and color. Geologists have identified almost 40 different layers of rock exposed by the rivers erosion.

    The climate in canyon area is primarily desert, with both high and low temperatures. The upper rims of the canyon often receive snowfall. The air quality is usually very high, although dust storms and smoke from fires can change the air.

    The Grand Canyon is home to a variety of plants and animals. Plants range from various species of cactuto pine forests. Many types of animals live in the area, including the bald eagle, bobcats, bats and gila monsters. Six different kinds of rattlesnakes have been found in the area.

    Today, the canyon is part of the Grand Canyon National Park. About five million tourists visit the park each year.
