You
might
have
noticed
that
sometimes,
when
you
are
playing
mobile
games,
the
picture
suddenly
freezes(卡顿)
because
the
network
speed
is
too
slow.
However,
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,
2019.
This
means
that
China’s
telecommunications
companies
will
be
able
to
offer
5G
network
speeds
to
users.
The
“G”
in
“5G”
stands
for
generation.
1G
let
us
talk
to
each
other,
2G
let
us
send
messages,
3G
gave
us
mobile
data
and
the
Internet,
and
4G
made
all
of
these
things
faster.
So
what
will
5G
bring?
It
will
allow
us
to
download
an
entire
HD
movie
in
seconds.
The
delay(延时)
between
sending
and
receiving
data
will
be
shortened.
Now,
4G
takes
about
100
to
200
milliseconds,
while
humans
have
a
reaction
time
of
about
200
to
300
milliseconds.
But
5G
will
get
the
delay
down
to
1
millisecond
or
less,
which
is
almost
real-time.
With
the
development
of
5G,
new
kinds
of
technology
will
be
created
and
used.
Robots
will
be
used
to
do
operations
because
doctors
will
be
able
to
control
them
from
somewhere
else
without
any
delay.
Self-driving
cars
will
be
able
to
drive
more
safely
because
they
can
smoothly
communicate
with
each
other,
traffic
lights
and
road
sensors.
5G
networks
will
be
powerful,
but
not
perfect.
They
do
have
some
disadvantages.
On
the
one
hand,
5G
signals
don’t
go
very
far.
On
4G
networks,
you
can
be
10
kilometers
away
from
the
nearest
transmission
base(传送基站)
and
don’t
lose
signals.
But
5G
maxes
out
at
about
300
meters.
On
the
other
hand,
5G
signals
have
a
hard
time
going
through
walls
and
rains.
This
means
we
will
need
to
build
many
small
transmitters
to
make
sure
5G
signals
can
be
received
everywhere.
Soon
you
may
see
small
boxes
on
every
street
lamp
and
building.

B [2020·房山一模]
Stay
Home
Studying
17-year-old
Liu
Yu
was
a
high
school
student
in
China.
She
planned
to
go
back
to
school
on
Feb.
17
to
prepare
for
the
2020
college
entrance
examination(高考).
However,
the
Ministry
of
Education(教育部)
told
people
in
late
January
that
the
spring
term
for
all
schools
would
be
put
off
because
of
the
serious
disease(疾病)
in
China.
So
Liu
Yu,
like
all
the
other
students,
had
to
stay
at
home.
However,
Liu
and
her
classmates
didn’t
fall
behind
their
plans
and
began
studying
full-time
again—only
from
home.
It
may
have
become
the
largest
online
teaching
experiment
the
country
has
ever
seen.
To
go
with
students’
new
learning
environment,
a“cloud
platform(云平台)”
was
started
using
on
Feb.
17.
It
provided
students
with
education
resources(资源)
covering
all
school
subjects.
But
some
students
had
difficulty
going
to
the
website
or
using
smartphones.
A
TV
channel
by
China
Education
Television
started
airing
classes
on
Feb.
17.
So
students
could
have
classes
and
study
online
or
on
TV
at
home.
But
the
online
platform
and
TV
channel
don’t
just
offer
school
knowledge.
Students
can
also
learn
how
to
protect
themselves
from
the
disease
and
psychological(心理的)
health
during
this
period,
according
to
the
Ministry
of
Education.
For
some
students,
the
chance
to
study
from
home
has
had
some
unexpected
benefits.
Yuan
Siyi,
who
lives
in
Hubei
Province,
used
to
get
up
before
6
am
on
school
days,
but
since
starting
online
courses,
she
got
more
hours
of
sleep
every
morning.“I
like
online
teaching
because
I
have
more
freedom
at
home,”Yuan
told
TEENS.
She
began
her
all-day
courses
on
Feb.
3.
However,
online
teaching
and
learning
has
its
weaknesses
compared
to
studying
in
a
traditional
classroom.
“My
motivation(动力)
to
study
is
stronger
when
my
classmates
are
around
me
and
all
working
very
hard,”
Yuan
said.
According
to
the
Ministry
of
Education,
online
courses
are
just
a
short-time
way
of
learning
during
the
disease.
When
the
new
term
begins,
schools
will
no
longer
use
online
classes
instead
of
classroom
teaching.

Will

Still

Cash
in
the
Future?
Last
year,
Singapore
Prime
Minister
Lee
Hsien
Loong
urged
the
country
to
make
headway
in
the
e-payment
space
in
order
to
truly
become
a
smart
nation.
This
has
led
to
an
increase
in
the
number
of
businesses
going
cashless.
In
fact,
even
stalls(摊位)
in
food
centers
have
already
started
offering
cashless
payments
by
using
mobile
wallets,
which
have
become
an
increasingly
popular
e-payment
choice.
Before
paying,
you
need
to
download
an
app
first.
Next,
link
your
credit
or
debit
card
to
the
electronic
wallet
function.
Then,
e-payment
is
usually
made
by
scanning
a
unique
code
to
the
merchants
and
then
keying
in
the
payment
amount
when
you
pay
the
bill.
Since
a
cashless
age
is
about
to
arrive,
it’s
time
to
learn
about
some
of
the
e-payment
choices
beforehand.
1.PayNow
This
electronic
money
transfer
service
allows
you
to
send
money
immediately
to
anyone
in
Singapore
as
long
as
you
have
the
payee’s
mobile
number
or
identity
card
number.
This
means
you
no
longer
need
to
know
their
bank
account
details,
as
long
as
they
have
a
bank
account.
The
service
has
now
expanded(拓展)
to
include
making
payments
at
participating
businesses
and
retail
shops.
2.GrabPay
Started
by
the
Singapore-based
ride-hailing(网约车)
company,
this
is
an
e-wallet
choice
that
was
first
used
to
pay
for
Grab
rides.
Since
then,
it
has
expanded
to
include
over
200
other
merchants,
including
F&B
outlets
and
services,
such
as
hair
and
beauty
salons.
GrabPay
is
also
used
at
more
than
500
F&B
merchants
in
eight
cities
in
Malaysia.
3.WeChat
Pay
As
one
of
the
most
popular
cashless
payment
methods
in
China
with
over
600
million
users,
WeChat
Pay
is
now
available
in
Malaysia,
making
it
the
first
country
outside
of
China
to
use
the
app
in
a
local
currency(货币).
To
use
the
“Quick
Pay”
function,
which
is
the
QR-based
payment
system,
users
will
first
need
to
top
up
the
app’s
mobile
wallet
by
transferring
the
amount
needed.

A
The
Boy
Made
It!
One
Sunday,
Nicholas,
a
teenager,
went
skiing
at
Sugarloaf
Mountain
in
Maine.
In
the
early
afternoon,
when
he
was
planning
to
go
home,
a
strong
snowstorm
swept
into
the
area.
Unable
to
see
far,
he
turned
off
the
path
by
accident.
Before
he
knew
it,
Nicholas
was
lost,
all
alone!
He
didn’t
have
food,
water,
a
phone,
or
other
supplies.
He
was
getting
colder
by
the
minute.
Nicholas
didn’t
know
where
he
was.
He
tried
to
keep
calm.
He
thought
about
all
of
the
survival
shows
he
had
watched
on
TV.
It
was
time
to
put
the
tips
he
had
learned
to
use.
He
decided
to
stop
skiing.
There
was
a
better
chance
of
someone
finding
him
if
he
stayed
put.
The
first
thing
he
did
was
to
find
shelter(遮盖物)
from
the
freezing
wind
and
snow
so
his
body
temperature
wouldn’t
get
very
low
to
kill
him.
Using
his
skis,
Nicholas
built
a
snow
cave.
He
gathered
a
huge
mass
of
snow
and
dug
out
a
hole
in
the
middle.
Then
he
put
branches
on
himself,
like
a
blanket,
to
stay
as
warm
as
he
could.
By
that
evening,
Nicholas
was
really
hungry.
He
ate
snow
and
drank
water
from
a
nearby
stream
so
his
body
wouldn’t
lose
too
much
water.
Not
knowing
how
long
he
could
last,
Nicholas
did
the
only
thing
he
could—he
huddled(蜷缩)
in
his
cave
and
slept.
The
next
day,
Nicholas
went
out
to
look
for
help
but
found
nobody.
He
returned
to
the
snow
cave—without
shelter,
he
could
die
that
night.
On
Tuesday,
Nicholas
went
out
again
to
find
help.
He
had
walked
for
about
a
mile
when
a
volunteer
searcher
found
him.
After
two
days
stuck
in
the
snow,
Nicholas
was
saved.
Nicholas
might
not
have
survived
had
it
not
been
for
TV.
He
had
often
watched
Grylls’
survival
show
Man
vs.
Wild.
That’s
where
he
learned
the
tips
that
saved
his
life.
In
each
episode(一期节目)
of
Man
vs.
Wild,
Grylls
is
left
in
a
wild
area
and
has
to
find
his
way
out.
When
Grylls
heard
about
Nicholas’
amazing
story,
he
was
surprised
that
Nicholas
had
made
it
since
he
knew
better
than
anyone
how
hard
Nicholas
had
to
work
to
stay
alive.

B
On
Sunday
I
took
part
in
Tomato
Sauce
Day
of
my
friend
Deb’s
family.
I
am
thankful
to
my
beautiful
friend
for
sharing
this
family
milestone(里程碑)
event.
Nine
family
members,
myself
and
a
few
friends
took
part
in
the
day.
Sunday
was
a
special
day
because
it
was
the
last
time
that
Tomato
Sauce
Day
event
would
be
carried
out
at
Grandma’s
home.
Tomato
Sauce
Day
is
going
to
be
different
next
year
in
terms
of
the
surroundings(环境);
however,
I
have
a
feeling
that
all
else
will
remain
unchanged.
Grandma
passed
away
5
years
ago,
and
Deb
and
her
uncle
bought
the
property(地产).
Plans
are
in
progress
to
begin
building
two
new
homes
on
the
same
place.
I
listened
to
the
family
discussing
the
activities
of
the
day,
past
sauce
days
and
memories.
A
love
of
the
tradition
of
the
day
and
happy
memories
of
sharing
the
day
with
family
members
who
have
passed
away
were
recounted.
The
value
of
spending
time
together
as
a
family
was
obvious.
The
basic
process
and
recipe(菜谱)
for
the
sauce
made
by
Deb’s
family
remains
the
same
way
as
it
is
still
done
in
Grandma’s
village
today:
?
The
event
takes
place
once
a
year.
?
Sauce
is
made
by
the
family,
for
the
family
for
the
year
ahead.
?
The
sauce
is
made
with
just
salt
added
to
the
tomatoes.
This
allows
the
family
to
use
it
throughout
the
year
in
various
dishes
as
the
base
ingredient(食材).
They
add
their
own
preferred
ingredients
in
the
cooking
process.
?
The
women
prepare
and
make
the
sauce,
the
men
are
not
involved.
The
women
start
the
day
with
a
visit
to
the
community
garden
to
collect
the
tomatoes
and
then
they
begin
the
preparation.
Once
the
sauce
is
cooking,
it
is
lunchtime
and
time
for
the
family
to
catch
up.
Tomato
Sauce
Day
is
relived
by
the
family
all
over
the
year
as
they
open
each
bottle
of
red
tomato
goodness.
I
am
looking
forward
to
trying
my
sauce
tonight.
I
feel
like
I
need
to
make
home-made
pasta
to
eat
it!

C
Maker
Moment
Last
year,
Izzy
Goldstein,
12,
learned
in
science
class
that
we
can
reduce
air
pollution
by
using
natural
energy
sources,
such
as
wind
and
solar
power,
instead
of
gasoline.
This
made
her
wonder
what
she
and
her
schoolmates
could
do
to
help
the
environment.
“Maybe
if
my
school
got
a
bike
rack(架子),
more
kids
would
bike
to
school
instead
of
depending
on
cars,”
Izzy
told
TIME
for
Kids.
Rather
than
ask
their
school
to
buy
a
rack,
Izzy
and
her
friends
decided
to
make
a
bike
rack
by
themselves.
They
came
up
with
a
design.
They
calculated
how
much
wood
they
might
need.
They
measured
how
long
the
boards
should
be.
They
used
power
tools
to
cut
them
and
put
them
together
safely.
And
they
did
all
this
in
their
school’s
makerspace.
Makerspaces
are
workspaces
where
kids
can
learn
to
create
objects
using
technology,
engineering,
art
and
design.
These
spaces
often
feature
a
mix
of
high-tech
machines,
such
as
3-D
printers
and
robotic
kits(工具箱),
and
simple
materials
like
clay
and
cardboard.
Izzy
goes
to
the
Harley
School
in
New
York.
It
is
one
of
a
growing
number
of
schools
across
the
United
States
with
makerspaces.
Makerspaces
are
largely
inspired
by
Maker
Faires(创客盛会),
which
are
events
that
give
people
a
chance
to
share
their
creative
projects.
Each
year,
about
250,000
people
attend
the
Maker
Faires
in
San
Mateo,
California,
and
Queens,
New
York.
Maker
Faires
have
also
spread
to
countries
around
the
world,
including
Egypt,
France
and
Thailand.
Schools
are
introducing
makerspaces
to
the
curriculum(课程)
because
makerspaces
give
kids
a
way
to
have
ideas
and
build
something
from
those
ideas.
Kima
Enerson
is
a
makerspace
teacher
at
the
Harley
School.
But
she
says
kids
can
become
extraordinary
makers
in
an
ordinary
classroom,
too.
In
Harley’s
Lower
School
(pre-kindergarten
to
Grade
4),
students
learn
about

A
Studies
have
shown
that
when
students
join
in
team
sports,
their
overall
educational
experience
is
greatly
improved.
In
fact,
no
matter
they
are
good
at
sports
or
not,
there
are
still
benefits
to
be
got
from
playing
team
sports!
Here
are
four
lessons
team
sports
can
teach
students.
Have
a
Bigger
Picture
At
some
point
in
life,
everyone
goes
through
challenges.
People
may
think
that
the
choices
they
make
only
affect
themselves,
but
as
it
turns
out,
that
simply
isn’t
true!
Team
sports
teach
students
about
friendship
and
a
sense
of
belonging
to
something
bigger
than
themselves.
When
they
play
sports
on
a
team,
they
quickly
learn
that
every
choice
they
make
has
an
influence
on
their
teammates
and
their
opponents(对手)!
Be
Decisive
Making
choices
can
often
be
difficult
for
many
people
since
they
often
over-complicate(过度复杂化)
very
simple
decisions.
Playing
team
sports
gets
students
to
reason
and
come
to
a
decision
faster
than
they
might
in
their
day-to-day
life.
And
then,
making
quick
decisions
can
help
students
develop
a
sense
of
self-confidence.
Never
Give
Up
It’s
always
exciting
to
win
in
life,
but
sometimes
the
greater
lessons
come
from
losses
in
team
sports
games.
To
deal
with
those
losses,
students
should
accept
them
peacefully,
move
on
and
try
again!
Team
sports
teach
students
that
great
comebacks
do
happen
and
a
loss
is
never
final
if
they
refuse
to
give
up!
Put
Others
First
Perhaps
the
most
important
lesson
that
team
sports
can
teach
students
is
how
to
put
others
first
in
difficult
situations.
Sometimes,
they
may
have
to
be
ready
for
being
second-best
for
the
greater
good,
because
there
is
often
more
at
play
than
they
can
see
at
first.
Sometimes
the
most
pleasing
choice
students
can
make
is
the
one
to
help
others
even
when
it
is
inconvenient.
Learning
self-sacrifice(自我奉献)
is
a
lesson
that
students
will
certainly
carry
throughout
the
course
of
their
life!
Students
don’t
have
to
be
athletic
to
succeed
at
sports,
and
there
are
countless
benefits
of
team
sports
for
them.
1.Do
students
need
to
be
good
at
sports
in
order
to
benefit
from
team
sports?

2.Why
do
many
people
find
it
difficult
to
make
choices?

should
students
deal
with
losses
in

is
probably
the
most
important
lesson
students
can

from
team
sports?

the
main
idea
of
this
passage?

B [2020·朝阳一模]
Psychologists(心理学家)
are
interested
in
the
reasons
why
some
people
like
taking
part
in
risky
sports.
When
they
studied
people
who
were
learning
to
jump
from
a
plane
with
a
parachute,
they
found
that
the
parachutists’
bodies
produced
large
amounts
of
two
hormones(激素),
adrenaline(肾上腺素)
and
noradrenaline(去甲肾上腺素),
just
before
they
made
their
jump.
These
hormones
help
to
prepare
us
for
any
sudden
activity.
Adrenaline
increases
the
heartbeat
and
provides
more
sugar
for
the
muscles(肌肉),
while
noradrenaline
makes
us
react(反应)
more
quickly.
However,
noradrenaline
also
supplies
energy
to
a
part
of
the
brain
which
controls
feelings
of
pleasure.
A
feeling
of
pleasure
caused
by
this
hormone
makes
certain
people
want
to
take
part
in
dangerous
sports.
Another
possible
reason
is
the
level
of
excitement
in
part
of
the
brain.
According
to
some
psychologists,
the
brain
tries
to
manage
a
certain
level
of
excitement.
They
believe
that
people
who
have
a
low
level
of
excitement
look
for
new
experiences
in
order
to
fire
themselves
with
excitement,
but
people
who
usually
have
a
high
level
of
excitement
try
to
avoid
risks
in
order
not
to
become
overexcited.
If
the
psychologists
are
right,
people
with
a
low
excitement
level
are
the
ones
who
enjoy
taking
part
in
dangerous
sports
and
activities.
It
is
thought
that
people
with
low
levels
of
excitement
have
a
slower-reacting
nervous
system
than
people
with
high
levels.
So
it
may
be
possible
to
find
out
your
level
of
excitement
by
testing
your
nervous
system.
A
quick
way
of
doing
this
is
to
put
some
lemon
juice
on
your
tongue(舌头).
If
you
produce
a
lot
of
saliva(唾液),
your
nervous
system
has
been
affected(影响)
by
the
lemon
and
so
you
probably
have
a
high
level
of
excitement;
if
you
produce
little
saliva,
you
probably
have
a
low
excitement
level.
If
you
have
a
low
level,
you
might
enjoy
taking
part
in
risky
sports.
However,
this
does
not
mean
that
you
have
to
try
parachuting!

the
parachutists’
bodies
produce

amounts

Afternoon
Tea
The
warm
weather
may
look
perfect
for
outdoor
exercise.
But
for
those
who
are
not
that
sporty,
what
could
be
nicer
than
having
a
relaxing
afternoon
tea
with
a
few
good
friends
and
taking
a
break
from
studying?
The
concept(概念)
of
“afternoon
tea”
first
appeared
in
the
U.K.
in
the
mid-19th
century.
It
was
introduced
in
England
by
Anna
Maria
Russell,
the
seventh
Duchess
of
Bedford.
The
evening
meal
in
her
household
was
normally
served
fashionably
late
at
8
p.m.,
but
she
felt
hungry
at
4
p.m.every
day,
so
she
started
asking
for
a
tea
tray
with
butter,
bread
and
cakes
at
that
time.
Several
days
later,
she
found
her
new
habit
difficult
to
break
and
soon
invited
her
friends
to
join
her.
This
pause
(间歇)
for
tea
quickly
became
a
fashionable
social
event.
During
the
1880s,
upper
class
and
society
ladies
would
even
change
into
long
dresses,
gloves
and
hats
for
their
afternoon
tea.
Traditional
afternoon
tea
is
a
small
meal
which
is
normally
served
from
4
p.m.to
6
p.m.once
a
day.
It
uses
a
three-tiered
serving
tray.
The
trays
carry
a
variety
of
foods,
such
as
finger
sandwiches,
freshly
baked
scones
with
cream
and
fruit
jam,
cakes
and
pastries.
Of
course,
tea
or
coffee,
served
with
milk
and
sugar,
is
also
provided.
Traditional
afternoon
tea
is
a
dainty
(讲究的)
meal.
Therefore,
the
order
of
enjoying
the
food
is
from
the
bottom
to
the
top
and
from
salty
to
sweet.
Sandwiches
are
eaten
first,
followed
by
scones,
then
the
sweet
snacks
like
cakes
and
pastries.
When
drinking
the
tea,
people
taste
slowly
rather
than
“glugging”
it
down.
It’s
also
a
social
activity.
As
you
can
see
the
scene
in
the
TV
play—“Downton
Abbey”,
ladies
wear
pretty
clothing,
men
are
dressed
neatly
and
the
waiters
are
well
trained
and
polite.
Nowadays,
you
can
enjoy
a
traditional
fancy
afternoon
tea
in
many
restaurants
and
hotels.
It
is
also
enjoyed
to
celebrate
a
special
event
such
as
a
birthday,
a
pre-wedding
or
a
baby
shower
party
with
a
group
of
friends.
So
far,
afternoon
tea
activities
have
become
far
beyond
friends
getting
together
and
eating.
It
has
been
a
part
of
the
traditional
culture
as
well
as
a
fashion
for
British.

A
If
you’re
going
to
travel
around
the
world
this
summer,
you
should
make
up
a
travel
budget(预算)
before
you
hit
the
road.This
budget
will
help
you
know
how
much
you
need
to
save
before
leaving
home
so
that
you
don’t
need
to
call
mom
and
dad,
begging
for
help
halfway
through
your
trip.Here
are
three
tips
to
help
you
plan
your
money
for
the
trip
you
have
planned
for
this
summer
vacation.
·Pick
a
location
that
fits
your
budget
The
countries
you
choose
to
visit
will
have
the
greatest
influence
on
the
necessary
size
of
your
travel
budget.Road
tripping
across
America
and
backpacking
through
Europe,
while
popular,
are
two
of
the
more
expensive
choices
for
a
vacation.In
contrast,
a
visit
to
Asia
or
South
America
will
be
much
less
expensive
than
back
home.
·“Fun”
activities
are
expensive
It
seems
to
be
necessary
to
plan
your
travel
budget
around
three
major
costs…
1.Transportation
2.Hotels
3.Food
Paying
for
these
necessities
is
part
of
travel,
but
you
might
be
surprised
to
learn
that
they
could
add
up
to
less
than
half
of
the
money
you’ll
spend
abroad.If
you’re
like
me,
your
“dream
vacation”
includes
more
than
sitting
in
your
hotel
bed.
When
I
was
living
in
Chiang
Mai,
Thailand,
I
owned
a
small
apartment
and
ate
delicious
Asian
noodles
3
times
per
day.With
the
room
at
$5
per
night
and
meals
for
$1,
I
spent
about
$8
per
day.
One
of
the
coolest
things
to
do
in
Chiang
Mai
is
to
go
on
a
zip
line
adventure.It
cost
me
$60
to
get
into
the
trees,
which
is
about
what
I
paid
to
live
for
1
week
in
Thailand.If
you
want
to
go
on
an
excursion(远足)
every
day,
you’ll
easily
spend
five
times
as
much
on
“fun”
as
you
do
on
necessities.This
is
true
all
over
the
world,
so
make
sure
you
plan
excursions
into
your
travel
budget
ahead
of
time.
·Plan
for
the
unexpected
You
won’t
always
be
prepared
for
everything
that
comes
your
way
while
traveling.You
need
at
least
$1,000
to
help
you
deal
with
the
unexpected.
First,
there’s
the
good
kind
of
unexpected…
When
I
was
traveling
through
France
on
my
summer
vacation
three
years
ago,
I
had
no
idea
that
the
annual
bull
running
festival(奔牛节)
was
happening
in
Spain.A
traveler
who
had
just
arrived
from
Spain
told
me
about
the
festival
and
because
I
had
some
extra
money
I
was
able
to
change
my
plans
and
attend!
There’s
also
the
bad
kind
of
unexpected…
When
I
entered
Thailand,
I
forgot
my
visa
expiration
date(签证截止日期).I
ended
up
overstaying
by
nearly
1
month!
When
I
crossed
the
border(边境),
I
was
politely
told
I
needed
to
pay
the
Thai
government
nearly
$400!
Giving
yourself
some
extra
money
is
very
important
to
your
safety
and
the
enjoyment
of
your
trip.

Study
or
Learn?
English
language
learners
use
the
verbs
“study”
and“learn”
all
the
time.
Yet,
they
are
often
unsure
which
to
choose
in
a
situation.
Our
subject
today
comes
from
Salah
of
Yemen.
The
writer
asks:
Question:
I
would
like
to
know
the
difference
between
“study”
and
“learn”.
Thanks!
—Salah,
Yemen
Answer:
Hello,
Salah,
and
thanks
for
your
note!
Let’s
begin
with
the
dictionary
meaning
of
each
word.
These
are
from
the
Merriam-Webster
Learner’s
Dictionary:
To
study
means
to
read,
memorize
facts
or
attend
school
in
order
to
learn
about
a
subject.
To
learn
means
to
gain
knowledge
or
skill
by
studying,
practicing,
being
taught
or
experiencing
something.
So,
studying
is
just
one
way
of
learning.
But
it
is
not
the
only
way.
Learn
Sometimes,
we
learn
through
experience.
For
example,
if
you
travel
to
Thailand,
you
can
visit
a
lot
of
sights,
try
the
traditional
foods
and
talk
to
the
local
people.
By
the
time
you
leave,
you
will
have
gained
a
lot
of
knowledge
about
the
country.
So,
you
can
say,“I
learned
so
much
about
Thailand!”
You
could
not
say,“I
studied
so
much
about
Thailand!”
because
your
actions
did
not
mainly
involve
reading,
memorizing
facts,
taking
a
course,
attending
school
or
something
similar.
Study
In
addition,
when
you
study
something,
you
have
not
learned
it
yet.
And,
sometimes,
you
can
even
study
something
without
learning
it.
For
example,
if
you
say,“I
studied
English,”it
may
mean
you
took
English
classes.
Or
maybe
you
tried
to
teach
yourself
through
an
app
or
language
website.
But
maybe
you
had
difficulty
with
this
and
still
do
not
know
how
to
speak
the
language.
In
that
situation,
you
could
not
say,“I
learned
English,”because
that
would
mean
you
had
gained

If
the
difference
between
“learn”
and
“study”
is
not
clear
yet,
here
are
a
few
sentences
that
compare
them:
They
learned
how
to
write
stories
in
the
new
writing
class.
They
spent
time
studying
the
techniques
of
story-writing.
Where
did
you
learn
how
to
bake
so
well?
Did
you
study
baking
in
school?
And
one
last
tip
for
remembering
the
difference
is
this
expression:
I
studied
but
I
did
not
learn
anything.
And
that’s
Ask

TED
Talks:
An
Idea
Worth
Spreading
Have
you
heard
of
TED?
TED
stands
for
Technology,
Entertainment
and
Design.
TED
is
a
set
of
meetings,
held
in
different
cities
around
the
world
every
year.
With
different
speakers—also
from
different
parts
of
the
world—all
the
speeches
are
uploaded(上传)
to
their
website,
for
everyone
to
see.
TED
meetings
invite
speakers
to
give
speeches
on
different
kinds
of
topics.
The
different
speakers
are
usually
successful
in
their
fields
and
talk
about
new
ideas
and
recent
developments
that
are
important
to
their
work.
The
speakers
are
often
also
well-known,
with
people
such
as
Bill
Gates
and
Jane
Goodall,
having
given
talks.
There
are
many
talks
on
environmentalism,
for
example,
and
on
international
development,
aid
work,
and
how
to
help
poor
people.
There
are
a
number
of
talks
about
education
and
topics
that
are
important
in
the
news.
While
the
talks
cover
many
kinds
of
topics,
all
speakers
have
a
strict
time
limit—each
speech
must
last
less
than
18
minutes.
As
with
all
organisations(组织),
however,
TED
has
had
its
downs
as
well
as
ups.
The
organisation
has
been
criticised
for
turning
great
scientists
into
stars.
Perhaps
a
bigger
and
more
important
criticism
of
the
organisation
is
that
only
special
people
can
attend
the
meetings.
Those
who
attend
the
meetings
must
be
special
enough
to
get
tickets
because
TED
events
costing
$6,000
or
more.
However,
ted.org,
the
organisation’s
website,
is
where
the
many
interesting
talks
become
reachable
to
everybody
who
has
an
Internet
connection.
Every
weekday,
a
new
video
is
uploaded
from
a
TED
event,
allowing
people
from
around
the
world
to
listen
to
the
talks
for
free.
At
only
18
minutes,
even
if
the
video
is
not
that
interesting,
you
know
you
are
not
going
to
waste
too
much
time.
Most
TED
talks
are
in
English
but
there
are
talks
in
other
languages,
too.
Besides,
most
of
the
English-language
talks
also
have
the
choice
of
subtitles(字幕)
in
different
languages
and,
as
a
result,
the
website
is
great
for
practising
English
and
learning
new
vocabulary,
especially
in
a
topic
that
you
find
interesting
and
enjoyable.
With
so
many
choices
of
subject,
the
videos
are
often
much
more
exciting.
