Technology never stops moving. These inventions will be here sooner than you think, so it's best to get your wallet ready for them.

5G networks will bring the Internet everywhere

The most exciting thing about 5G is that it will be a full-on broadband internet service, meaning that instead of having one service for your mobile devices and one for home internet, you'll be able to get home 5G and take it with you, as well. That also means less reliance (依赖) on wi-fi.

Smart needles will detect cancer in moments

Right now, most cancers aren't detected until something goes wrong, which is what the smart needle hopes to change. Cancerous tissue and healthy tissue reflect light differently, according to Medical Xpress. The way the smart needle works is by shining light through the tissue in question and then quickly calculating if the tissue is sick or healthy. It takes seconds, and without painful operations.

People will be able to feel things in virtual reality

Ieoh Ming Pei, one of the last great modernist architects, has died aged 102. Although he worked mostly in the United States, Pei will always be remembered for a European project: his redevelopment of the Louvre Museum in Paris in the 1980s.

Pei was the first foreign architect to work on the Louvre in its long history, and initially his designs were fiercely opposed. But in the end, the French — and everyone else — were won over. His glass pyramid outside the Louvre, completed in 1989, is now one of Paris' most famous landmarks.

Pei was born in China in 1917 into a wealthy family. His father was a banker. His artistic mother—a calligrapher and musician—had the greater influence on him. Despite not speaking English, he moved to the US at the age of 18 to study at Pennsylvania, MIT and Harvard. He worked as a research scientist for the US government during World War Two, and went on to work as an architect, founding his own firm in 1955. He carried on working well into old age, creating one of his most famous masterpieces—the Museum of Islamic Art in Doha, Qatar—in his 80s.

He has designed buildings, hotels, schools and other structures across North America, Asia and Europe. His other work includes Dallas City Hall and Japan's Miho Museum. His style was influenced by his love of Islamic architecture. His favoured building materials were glass and steel, with a combination of concrete.

He won a variety of awards and prizes for his buildings, including the AIA Gold Medal, the Praemium Imperiale for Architecture. In 1983 Pei was given the fifth Pritzker Architecture Prize for giving the 20th century some of its most beautiful interior spaces and exterior forms. He used his $100,000 prize money to start a scholarship fund for Chinese students to study architecture in America. In person, Pei was always neatly dressed, good-tempered, charming and unusually modest.

The man who invented the World Wide Web a few decades ago is calling for major changes to make it better for humans. In an open letter published on Tuesday, Berners-Lee said that the web was used by half the world's population.

Berners-Lee said the web had clearly created great opportunities for humans to progress and had made life easier for millions of people. Actually, it also has offered opportunities to groups traditionally not heard a new voice in society. However, he added that the web had also provided new ways for cheats to commit crimes (犯罪).

"Against the background of news stories about how the web is misused, it's understandable that many people feel afraid and unsure if the web is really a force for good," he wrote.

Berners-Lee created a group called the World Wide Web Foundation. He is looking for help from governments, companies and people to become more involved in shaping the web to do more good for humans. His actual plan is called the "Contract (合同) for the Web".

Under this contract, governments are called on to take steps to make sure all people can connect to the Internet and that personal privacy is respected. Businesses are asked to keep the Internet prices low so more people can use the web. In addition, companies should respect privacy and develop technologies that aim to put people first.

The plan also calls on people to create materials for the web and work with others to make sure that is rich, quality information for everyone. Besides, people should seek to "build strong communities that respect personal speech and human equality." "The path to make the Internet better is the responsibility of everyone who uses it," Bermers-Lee added, "Making big changes will not be easy, but will be very well worth it in the end."

For the first time since local extinction in 1996, Nubian giraffes have returned to Pian Upe Wildlife Reserve in northeastern Uganda. Fifteen of this vitally endangered animals were moved over 400 km from Murchison Falls National Park in October 2019.

The 11 female and 4 male giraffes are aged two to four: "We chose younger giraffes because they have a longer reproductive lifespan," says Robert Aruho, a doctor of Uganda Wildlife Authority (UWA), who let the move.

Northern Uganda is home to Nubian giraffes. They have large, rectangular blotches (矩形斑点) set irregularly against a cream background. The lower legs are noticeably white and not patterned. Pian Upe's grassy land held large numbers of giraffes in the 1960s before conflict in the Karamoja region saw them hunted illegally. "The habitat is perfect, and effective anti-hunting measures are now capable of supporting at least 700 individuals," explains Aruho.

Nubian giraffes are Uganda's only giraffe species and most of them inhabit Murchison Falls. "We can't have all our eggs in one basket," Aruho says, "We have a unique opportunity to act now to prevent them dying out."

Back in 2015, the UWA moved 15 Nubian giraffes from Murchison Falls to Lake Mburo National Park. After that, 9 of the 10 females quickly became pregnant. From a little over 300 Nubian giraffes in the mid 1990s in Uganda there are now about 1,650. A further 25 giraffes will move from Murchison to Pian Upe in October 2020.

"In Uganda we continue to work closely with the UWA to increase numbers and populations of threatened Nubian giraffes. Boosting existing populations is vital for securing their future in the country," Aruho says.

Switching from childhood to adulthood can be challenging.  Work on not acting like a child by managing your emotions. With a little bit of practice, you will begin to see yourself acting more like an adult than a child.

● Accept responsibility for your actions.

You should take responsibility for your actions, whether they are intentional(故意的) or unintentional.  Failing to accept responsibility may seem like a good idea at the time, but in the long term it will not benefit you. For example, if you accidentally back into your neighbor's car, let them know by writing them a note or knocking on their door. Then, correct your mistake by paying for the damage.

● Show people respect.

Respect your partner, family members, friends, and strangers As you grow up and mature, you should understand the concept of respect and why it is important. Giving respect will also give you more respect in return.

● Develop a way to handle conflict maturely.

When you are faced with a conflict, it is important to keep your emotions in check. Control your anger and avoid becoming aggressive.  Give yourself time to cool down if you are really angry. This will prevent you from saying and doing things that you shouldn't do in the heat of the moment.

● Receive feedback(反馈) positively.

People learn and grow by receiving feedback and criticism from others. You should accept that you don't know everything and that feedback from an expert is not meant to hurt you. It is meant to help you. For example, thoroughly read through your edits on your research paper.

A. Take on adult responsibilities.

B. Often times, you may still feel like a child.

C. Children are often selfish and disrespectful.

D. It is a sign of maturity and respect for others.

E. These edits will help improve your writing in the future.

F. This can help you get higher marks in many of your subjects.

G. Take a deep breath, listen, and work through the conflict with the other individual.

"Were you Mark's math teacher?" an old man came to my office and asked. I nodded. "Mark talked about you a lot. I want to show you something," he said, taking a wallet out of his pocket. "They found this on him when he was killed in the battle. We thought you might recognize it. "

Opening the wallet, he carefully removed two worn pieces of notebook paper that had obviously been taped, folded and refolded many times. I knew without looking that the papers were the ones on which I had listed all the good things each of Mark's classmates had said about him. And that happened 20 years ago.

Mark was in the third grade class I taught. All 34 of my students were dear to me, but Mark was one in a million. Very neat in appearance, he had that happy­to­be­alive attitude that made even his occasional misbehavior delightful.

Mark also talked without stopping. I tried to remind him again and again that talking without permission was unacceptable. What impressed me so much, though, was the sincere response every time I had to correct him for misbehaving. "Thank you for correcting me, Sister!" I didn't know what to make of it at first but before long I became accustomed to hearing it many times a day.

One morning my patience was growing thin when Mark talked once too often. I made a new teacher's mistake. I looked at Mark and said, "If you say one more word, I am going to tape your mouth shut！"

It wasn't ten seconds later when Chuck shouted, "Mark is talking again." I hadn't asked any of the students to help me watch Mark, but since I had stated the punishment in front of the class, I had to act on it.

Paragraph 1：

I walked to my desk and took out a roll of tape.

Paragraph 2：

One day I decided to do something different when Mark talked again in class.
