Smart screens（智能屏幕）

This year， smart screens will be big news. They use AI technology and look like a tablet（平板電腦）. Google Home Hub is a good example. It is a smart screen that people can use for everything from looking up video recipes（菜譜）to looking at family photos. You can also connect your other smart devices（設備）to Home Hub through the internet. You can turn on lights or the TV simply by speaking to Home Hub or touching a button（按鈕）on the screen.

今年，智能屏幕將成為大新聞。它們使用人工智能技術，外形看上去像平板電腦。谷歌的Home Hub就是一個很好的例子，它是一個智能屏幕，從查找視頻菜譜到查看家庭照片，人們都可以使用它來完成。還可以通過互聯網將其他智能設備連接到Home Hub，通過與Home Hub對話或觸摸屏幕上的按鈕來打開電燈或電視。

Facebook is also going to have its own smart screen called Portal. With Portal， you can video chat with your friends and family members. When you do video chats on your mobile phone， you always have to hold your phone in your hand. But Portal has a camera that can follow you around. You can just put Portal on a table and walk around the room. Your chat partner will always be able to see you.

Facebook也將擁有自己的智能屏幕，名為Portal，你可以使用Portal通過視頻與你的朋友和家人聊天。當你用手機視頻聊天時，你必須得把手機拿在手里。而Portal有一個可以跟蹤你的攝像頭，你可以把Portal放在桌子上，然后在房間里走動，你的聊天伙伴也能一直看得到你。

5G internet（5G網絡）

How fast is your mobile phone network（網絡）？ After 3G and 4G， 5G is on the way. According to Science Daily， it is hoped that the US will test 5G this year， while the UK will do so in 2020. China has already tested 5G in some parts of Beijing and Hebei.

你的手機網絡有多快？在3G和4G之后，5G已經在路上了。據《科學日報》報道，美國今年將有望測試5G，而英國將在2020年測試5G。中國已經在北京和河北的一些地區測試了5G。

5G is very fast. Its speed is about 10 to 20 times faster than current（現在的）networks. You can download a whole film in just one second with 5G， according to Xinhua. This used to take a few minutes with 4G networks.

More importantly， with the help of 5G， we can use the internet of things（IoT， 物聯網）. IoT connects（連接）everyday devices to the internet. People can control their devices from far away with IoT. For example， on a hot summer day， you can turn on your air conditioning（空調）while you are on your way back home. All of these things need very fast internet speeds. And 5G is the key.

更重要的是，在5G的協助下，我們可以使用物聯網。物聯網將日常設備連接到互聯網上。人們可以利用物聯網在遙遠的地方控制家里的設備。例如，在炎熱的夏日，你可以在回家的路上打開家里的空調。所有這些操作都需要非?？斓幕ヂ摼W速度，而5G是關鍵。

People can use 3D printing to make things like toys and jewelry（珠寶）. But what if people could print electronic devices（電子設備）at home？ This would help to save time and money. So more people might think about buying their own 3D printers.

人們可以使用3D打印來制作玩具和珠寶之類的東西。但是如果人們可以在家里打印電子設備呢？這將有助于節省時間和金錢，所以更多的人可能會考慮購買一臺屬于自己的3D打印機。
