This semester is very important for us because we are almost in Grade 9.It’s very bad for us to miss classes, 2.e for just one day. My best friend Tom, however, got mumps(腮腺炎) two weeks ago. Our school doctor said it is 3.a infectious (传染的) disease, so Tom couldn’t go to school for a week. When he learned this, he was very 4.w about his studies. Later, Tom and my friends got an idea—to take classes by using an iPad!
We prepared an iPad to 5.c Tom with. We put it on the computer desk in our class. Then we started a video call to Tom 6.t WeChat. We set the camera for Tom so he could see the classroom. He was able to see the classroom. He was able to see 7.e on the blackboard, as well as our teacher, through the iPad. He could take class at home just like he was in the classroom with us!

China gets even greener
Global warming is a big problem that we have to stop. One of the 1.b things we can do is to plant more trees. Trees can take in carbon dioxide(二氧化碳) in the air and 2.s global warming.
According to a new report, China is doing a great job of “greening” the world.
A team of scientists at Boston University has been working with NASA to study Earth’s green vegetation(植被). They used a special NASA camera and found that global leaf area has increased by 5 percent since the 3.e 2000s.And China was responsible for 25 percent of that gain, according to the 4.s . That’s about one-quarter of the size of the entire Amazon rainforest.
The growth 5.m came from China’s forest protection(保护) programs, NASA said.
For example, since 1962, China has been planting trees in Saihanba in Hebei Province. It was once a desert. But now, China has turned the 6.a into the country’s largest man-made forest.
The Chinese public has 7.a joined in these efforts. Ant Forest, a feature(功能) in the Alipay app, gives users points for doing eco-friendly things such as walking and going paperless in the office. Users can then use these 8.p to water and grow their own virtual 9.t . When the virtual trees are big enough, Ant Forest will plant real trees 10.s in the world. More than 55 million trees have been planted in this way.

Network of the future
You might have noticed that sometimes, when you’re playing mobile games or taking a video call, the picture suddenly freezes(卡顿) because the network 1.s is too slow. When you try to download a movie on your phone, it seems to take forever.
These annoying things will soon become a thing of the past, as China just issued commercial licenses(发放商用牌照) for 5G networks on June 6.This means that China’s telecommunications companies will be able to 2.o 5G network speeds for mobile phone users.
The “G” in “5G” stands for generation(代)(of mobile network technology ). 1G let us 3.t to each other, 2G let us send messages, 3G gave us mobile data and the Internet, and 4G made all of these things 4.f . So what will 5G bring?
