But children at St. James Children's School also add to that fun by watching worms and picking up trash（垃圾） in the schoolyard. Inside, they learn to save water and electricity. They also recycle and reuse useful things. And every spring they get the soil ready to plant flowers and vegetables in the school’s garden.

Rebecca Boker teaches the children the importance of taking care of the Earth. "If children learn it early on, it will become part of their daily lives. It should be something that everyone does." said Boker “Every day at St. James is Earth Day. Most books in the classrooms and the library contain materials that encourage children to do something to protect the environment and the Earth.”

"This is their home. You are visitors in their home. So it is your job to respect their home just like you want others to respect your home and treat your home nicely."

At St. James, children observe（觀察） the growth of plants from seeds to flowers in cups kept in the classroom. Then they watch the plants grow after placing them in the garden. The students also observe the life of butterflies and other insects and learn about rain and sea life.

St. James also has a special rain garden when many recycled materials are used. For example, there are rugs（小地毯） made of recycled tires in all the classrooms.

But do these very young children really get the message that their teachers try to express? Ms. Boker says yes.

"Oh they do. They totally understand."

The first World Cup was held in Uruguay in 1930.This World Cup has a different meaning，1930，exactly 100 years of independence of Uruguay.In the final，Uruguay beat Argentina 4－2 in front of a crowd of 93，000 people，and became the first winner of the World Cup.

The 2018 World Cup in Russia takes place on June 14.It is the first time the tournament(錦標(biāo)賽)has been held in Eastern Europe.

The 32 qualified teams were divided into eight groups of four teams each.Host Russia were naturally the top seed in Group A. A group of death in a multistage tournament is a group which is unusually competitive，because the number of strong competitors in the group is greater than the number of qualifying places available for the next phase of the tournament.

Some sports are resource-hungry.Golf，as you may know，eats up not only large areas of countryside，but also lots of water.Besides，huge amounts of energy are used to keep its courses(球場(chǎng))in good condition.This causes major environmental changes.For example，in the dry places of Portugal and Spain，golf is often the main reason for serious water shortages(短缺)in some local areas.

There are also many environment-friendly sports.Walking is one of sports that you could take up today.You don't need any special equipment except a good pair of shoes，and you don't have to worry about resources and your purse.Simple and free，walking can also help you stay healthy.If you walk regularly，it will be good for your heart.Experts say that 20 minutes of speed walking daily can make you feel less anxious，sleep well and keep thin.

Whatever sport you take up，you can make it greener by using environment friendly equipment and buying products made from recycled materials.But the final goal should be “green gyms”．They are better replacements(替代品)for traditional health clubs and modern sports centres.Members of green gyms play sports outdoors，in the countryside or other open spaces.There is no special requirement for you to start your membership(會(huì)員身份)．And best of all，it's free.

But no true 5G phones are able to be used now. Motorola has produced publicly the first 5G smartphone, the Moto Z3. But the problem is that 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. But when to use 5G directly is the point.

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. Cord-cutting has become popular and common. Many users are tired of spending $100 or more monthly in booking cable (有線的)TV. They don't choose cable TV any more and begin to use streaming (在線播放) services connected to their broadband (寬帶)service instead. The U.S. communications company Verizon has developed home broadband for its 5G tests and has decided to work together with Apple TV. Another U.S. top communications company, AT&T, now is the No. 1 broadband provider in the United States, tested 5G in nine markets in late 2018.

Besides faster access, connectivity might get a little cheaper in the future for users as long as 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 for now, it's all about the home. How will 5G develop next? What will 5G bring to us? Let's wait and see.

【1】Which of the following is the best to fill in the blank in Paragraph 1?

【3】According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE?

A.Booking cable TV is still popular among users.

B.5G is possible to be used to office working first.
