The lovin

23、gly restored building was constructed with redwood logs around 1850 as a home for a woodsman. It later sat idle(闲置的）for a few years before being used as an apple barn. Then, in 1870, it began a new lifeas a schoolhouse.Originally located in the nearby Englewood meadow（草地,牧场), the school closed in 19

24、07, and the unused building began deteriorating(退化,恶化) in a muddy pasture. It was moved to its current site in 1978 by Velmas late husband and his brother, Robert and Richard, who thought it would help keep Velma busy in retirement. No nails had been used in the original construction, so each piece

25、of wood had to be carefully marked and the building reassembled on its new site. The brothers worked with much care and diligence to ensure a perfectfit of the mitered corners.After the relocation, Velma and her familyfurnished the school with some of its original desks, along with an old woodstove,

26、 a working Victrola(手摇留声机) and a shelf holding assorted lunch pails. They also added a collection of schoolbooks, the oldest dating back to 1845. Perhaps the schools most cherished memento(纪念品）is the diploma of student Hettie Essig, who graduated on June 30, 1904. Hetties daughter, Flora, entrusted

27、Velma with the precious keepsake.Nowadays Velma gives tours to local schoolchildren and other groups, who learn what it was like to attend school back in the good old days. She has kids ring the school bell, recite the Pledge of Allegiance and singGood Morning to You as they might have done in days

28、gone by. Then, with twinkling eyes and much enthusiasm, she tells the history of the school, gives a short sample lesson and demonstrates how to use the old Victrola.24.

31、oing something familiar during a time of crisis. At first glance, telecommuting(远程办公) might not seem so bad.While it works well for some, it doesnt for everyone.Working remotely has widespread negative consequences, including people spending time working that they might otherwise have spent with fam

32、ily or friendsbecause they can easily cross their work-life boundaries,they end up working longer hours.People who telecommute may also have trouble freeing themselves from work and from the technology that enables it, which contributes to the harmful consequences of reducing face-to-face time and p

33、ersonal interactions. When humans rely on technology, we may forget how essential these interactions are to human happiness. As a university professor, my days consist of social interactions with students and colleagues. I generally find those conversations and the resulting relationships inspiring

34、and rewarding. The coronavirus situation means that countless teachers like me face the possibility of standing in front of a camera instead of a classroom. Id prefer doing that to canceling class, but I cant help wondering whether my job, along with so many others, is about to experience a great an

35、d potentially permanent change. I wonder how many faculty members might be laid off if the university decides teaching remotely is good enough, or how many people will be let go when their bosses realize they dont need to show up every day, or even at all. Finally, heres the most important question:

36、 whether people believe their firsthand, lived experiences can be replacedand not just during a pandemic(大流行病). The coronavirus will accelerate our rush into the arms of technology.

Views on unemployment. D. Love for lived experience.31. Which section of a website is the passage probably fr

Events.DIn 2019, the wireless industry began shifting to 5G, a technology that can deliver data at such incredibly fast speeds that people will be able to download entire movies in a few seconds.Yet the release of 5G was not as fast as expected. Across the Uni

40、ted States, carriers deployed(配置,展开)5G in just a few dozen cities. And only a handful of new smartphones last year worked with the new cellular(基站覆盖区的) technology.In 2020, 5G will gain some momentum(动力,势头). Verizon said it expected half the nation to have access to 5G this year. AT& T, which offers

41、two types of 5G-5G Evolution, which is incrementally faster than 4G, and 5G Plus, which is the ultrafast(超快的) versionsaid it expected 5G Plus to reach parts of 30 cities by early 2020.Another sign that 5G is really taking hold? A broader set of devices will support the new wireless standard.Samsung,

42、 for one, has begun including 5G support on some of its newer Galaxy devices. Apple, which declined to comment, is also expected to release its first 5g-compatible iphones this year.And 5G will be going to work behind the scenes, in ways that will emerge(浮现，出现) over time. One important benefit of th

43、e technology is its ability to greatly reduce latency, or the time it takes for devices to communicate with one another.
