We can learn a lot from kids, especially ones who are working on making the world a better place. GoFundMe started a program called Kid Heroes to celebrate them.
The program includes an activity celebrating over 100 kid heroes, a Parents' Guide, and short videos showing the work of a few kid heroes. Last year, on November 28, GoFundMe donated (捐赠) $ 100 000 to the Kid Heroes program through their Gives Back program.
\灵感), and in speaking to them, we realized that kids are often great role models for us adults because they don't have prejudice (偏见) and they just jump in and help, which is quite different from adults,\ The program supports hundreds of kids who not only help solve problems in their community, but also help other kids in need. For example, there is Paul Burnett, who raised over $ 10 000 to buy a new wheelchair for his best friend Kamden. Through the Parents' Guide, parents are able to learn more about how to make their children take part in these projects. A lot of conversation starters are also provided to help parents guide their kids and raise kids that are open to giving back.
What started out as just a holiday program may become year-round. Kids such as Burnett are always doing amazing things. Another example is Ryder who created an activity on his birthday to raise money to buy presents for kids at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, hoping to help brighten their day.

5G stands for the fifth generation, meaning the next step in the progress of technology to take the place of the present 4G system. 4G took the place of 3G, which came after 2G, and so on. These systems are wireless (无线的) computer networks. Earlier \technology brought major improvements in speed and greatly increased the network ability. The new 5G system promises more of the same. However, technology experts say there is a major way that 5G is different from the earlier networks. It will move well beyond mobile network technology to influence more industries than other \systems.
Wireless industry groups say 5G will help build future \sensor (传感器) networks. Such networks will be able to control traffic and quickly find out streetlight problems. 5G is also expected to connect self-driving cars. Higher 5G speeds could also allow doctors to commonly perform long-distance operations. Factories and businesses could use 5G technology to improve the collection of information.
However, there are some safety concerns with 5G. More data (数据) —and many more kinds of data—will be traveling across 5G networks. Much of the data could include private information about people, businesses or government organizations. The increased data flow would give Internet attackers (袭击者) a lot more possibilities to steal and misuse data.
In addition, the wider use of a 5G wireless network means any breakdown of the network would have more serious results. Such difficulties could influence public safety as well as world business activity. Government network failures could create national safety risks. A failure during a doctor's long-distance operation could lead to the death of a patient. Or a network breakdown could cause terrible accidents of self-driving cars.
(1)What are the \ A.They are wireless industries. B.They are wireless computer networks.
C.They are improvements in technology. D.They are generations of computer development. (2)How will 5G change people's life? A.More people will lose their jobs. B.People will cut down the number of cars. C.We can see a doctor without visiting him. D.We can avoid any serious traffic accidents.
(3)What problem may 5G bring to us according to the last two paragraphs? A.There are more Internet attackers. B.The network is easy to break down. C.World business activity will be reduced.
D.Personal information is at greater risk of being stolen. (4)What is the main idea of the text? A.5G will take the place of 4G.
B.5G brings advantages and disadvantages. C.5G pushes the development of technology. D.5G will make industries change completely.
