When you are watching TV, , you will notice that more and more famous stars make the ads on TV. Many people believe them because they are famous. But have you ever thought if the ads are real?

In the past few years, lots of stars have been on TV or newspapers as spokesmen of some products, such as Sanlu Milk and Haojixing Study Machine. People spent much money on these products, but at last, many of them were not like what the stars said. More and more people are very angry with the famous stars for making the ads after the accident of Sanlu Children Milk.

What are the public's ideas about the famous people making ads on TV? Do you agree that the famous people should take responsibility (负责任) if the products have any problems? A research shows that about 36% think it wasn't the famous stars' mistakes, but they all think famous stars should give out the money they got from the ads to the people in need. More than 34% think the famous stars must take responsibility. They are dishonest and let the public down.

So we should be more careful when we buy things advertised by the stars. We must find what these things are really like instead of only listening to what the stars say.

    On January 27, in order to win the New Pneumonia Resistance War (抗击新型肺炎战), the Ministry of Education issued (教育部公布) a notice on putting off the start time of school in spring 2020.

    However, many parents are very worried that putting off the start of school may influence children's studies. If they have such a long winter holiday, children will not learn any knowledge, read books or study at all. They may forget what they have learned before. Staying at home for a long time will make them keep eating, sleeping and playing, which seriously influence their physical and mental health.

    In short, the close of school influences learning and develops bad habits, so how should we avoid these problems? Local education departments have also issued a notice, that is, to organize online teaching and create a network platform (平台), where necessary courses will be shown every day, and online teaching will be given by excellent teachers of the subject, and students can learn at home through computer or mobile network.

    It should be said that such a way is very good. It can not only keep students indoors and not worry about the infection (感染) of the disease, but also make them study at home, improve their learning ability, and truly achieve “no suspension of classes”. Both the platform itself and the recorded lesson resources are more useful, and are welcomed by parents and teachers.

    Of course, except for learning at home, it is also necessary to teach children about health knowledge, especially how to keep away from touching virus (病毒) and other knowledge popularization; at the same time, it is also necessary for children to do some physical exercises or some games, which is good for physical health at home.

    China is racing to build a nationwide 5G network. The first 5G video call wason a Huawei Mate X phone on March 30, CGTN reported. Shanghai is thecity in China to start a test run of 5G networks.

    About 100 timesthan 4G networks, 5G will allow people to download (下载) and upload data (数据) faster than ever. It will also be used in other.

    Self-driving cars may be one of the changes. Today's self-driving cars have one. When the car "sees" an obstacle (障碍), it sends the information to a data center and waits for instructions (指令). The car will crash it doesn't receive instructions in time. 5G networks willthe time it takes and make the cars safer, CNN noted.

    5G could also power the Internet of Things (loT). This refers to (指的是) a much larger online network that connects everything and everyone. Very fast Internet speeds are the key to realizing it. For example, with loT,fridge could order eggs online when it notices that there are no eggs left inside.

    China's first 5G police station was recently shown in Bao'an district in Shenzhen.  China Mobile Communication Corporation (CMCC) made Xiamen's first 5G video call April 27, bringing the city into the time of 5G.
