It may seem hard to leave Sydney’s attractions and sights, but when the urge arises to explore beyond the city, many exceptional day trips await travelers.
Scenic World
On a visit to the World Heritage-listed Blue Mountains, enjoy clean fresh air and breath-taking landscapes of ancient rainforests. Scenic World in Katoomba is the best way to access the beauty of this region. Besides climbing, you can choose cable cars, elevated boardwalks or the Scenic Railway—the world’s steepest train travelling through a rock tunnel, to reach the mountain top.
Royal National Park
Established in 1879,the Royal is the world’s second-oldest national park. Located an hour’s drive south of Sydney, the beaches are unspoilt, crowd-free and great for surfing or swimming. There’s dramatic scenery along the way with a range of unique heritage attractions. Bushwalking, boating, canoeing and fishing are also popular activities.
Featherdale Wildlife Park
Located 45 minutes west of Sydney, Featherdale has the world’s largest collection of Australian native birds, mammals(哺乳动物) and reptiles(爬行动物).Situated in a bushland environment, Featherdale provides a unique opportunity for up-close animal interactions(交往).Hand-feed a kangaroo, have breakfast with a koala and check out a huge variety of species including dingoes, emus, penguins and more.
The Hawkesbury River
An hour north-west of Sydney, the Hawkesbury is one of New South Wales’ best-kept secrets. Experience what this picturesque region of waterways, farmland and national parks has to offer—from waterskiing and bushwalking to horse riding, river cruises and retail therapy.

There has been a lot of publicity recently surrounding 5G, the next generation of wireless technology for the world. But what is this technology and how might it change our lives?
5G stands for fifth generation, meaning the next step in the progression of technology to replace the current 4G system. 4G was the replacement for 3G, which came after 2G, and so on. Earlier G systems were designed to improve mobile communication operations. Each new technology brought major improvements in speed and greatly increased network capacity(容量). The new 5G system promises more of the same. However, technology experts say there is a major way that 5G is different than the earlier systems. It will move well beyond mobile network technology to affect many more devices and industries than other “G” versions.
Wireless industry groups say 5G will help fuel future “smart cities” by connecting sensor(传感器) networks. 5G is also expected to connect self-driving cars and support new technologies involving virtual reality. Higher 5G speeds could also permit doctors to commonly perform remote medical operations. Factories and businesses could use 5G technology to increase automation and improve the collection of information.
Every coin has two sides. Much of the data could contain private details about individuals, businesses or government organizations. The increased data flow would give internet attackers a lot more possibilities to steal and misuse data. In addition, the wider use of a 5G wireless network means any breakdown of the system would have more widespread and severe results. Such difficulties could affect public safety as well as world economic activity.
1. What is the significant difference between 5G and the early 揋 systems?
A. It will affect more devices and industries.
B. It will change the way people communicate.
C. It will reform the pattern of information system.
D. It will improve internet speed and network capacity.
2. What can we learn about 搒mart cities from the passage?
A. Smart city is a city full of intelligent people.
B. Now many smart cities have been built all over the world.
C. As long as there is a wireless network, you can build a smart city.
D. The development of 5G accelerates the construction of smart cities.
3. Why can 5G allow doctors to perform long-range medical operations?
A. Because of the low cost of 5G. B. Because of the wide range of 5G.
C. Because of the high speed of 5G. D. Because of the ability of 5G to collect information.
4. What is the last paragraph mainly about?
A. Possible risks of 5G technology.
B. The advantages of 5G technology.
C. The influence of 5G technology on the world.
D. The importance of information security in the 5G era.
C
HEMLOCK, MI --When classes resume at Hemlock's K.C. Ling Elementary School next week, the students will have a brand new playground complete with gaga ball pit(坑), Boogie Board, slides and more.
About 50 volunteers worked together to build the new playground Sunday, Aug. 19. The “community build” was the culmination of nearly a year of fundraising, said Sarah Baird, a parent and chairwoman of the playground committee.
揑t felt amazing yesterday to see everybody come together, Baird said Monday. 揑t will be all set and ready for them for their first day of school.

Baird said the former playground equipment at K.C. Ling Elementary was 30 years old, unsafe and beginning to rust(生锈). A few years ago, the Richland Township Fire Department gave the parent-teacher organization $2,500 to build a new playground. The equipment they originally wanted would have cost $100,000.
揥e formed a committee and we started doing some fundraising, Baird said. 揑 did some things and we really tried to do something with the playground.
In the end, with the support of the community, Hemlock Semiconductor, Saginaw Community Foundation, Morley Family Foundation, Dow Corning Foundation and other donors, the group raised $70,000.
揑t felt amazing yesterday to see everybody come together, Baird said of the community build. “(We had) huge support from the community and we’re very thankful.”
1. What does the underlined word “ culmination” in paragraph 2 refer to?
A. Flag. B. Key. C. Name. D. Result.
2. What difficulty did they meet when a new playground needs rebuilding?
A. There is not enough money to build the playground.
B. There is not enough space to build the playground.
C. There is no support for doing it.
D. There is no time to do it.
3. What do we know from the passage?
A. The day of the school抯 start is Monday.
B. The first grade goes to school in K.C.Ling.
C. K.C. Ling Elementary has a history of 30 years.
D. Most of the playground construction fund is provided by Richland Township Fire Department.

Challenges of life remind me of my days in senior high school which I joined in the military training. It was the first time I have lived far away from my home,so I found difficult to fit in. And the trained officer was strict with me. I once think I could not stick to the end. And anyway,I succeeded. The trials made it much easy for me to adapt to life,and the difficulty I came across have now all become a precious memory in my life. In a short,I have learned to regard the challenges of life like a stepping stone to future success.
