During the big event, local people as well as tourists come together to enjoy the great beer, the delicious food, the beautiful music and the exciting rides.

They also “talk” to traffic lights and road sensors (传感器). 5G will allow cars to react (反应) even faster than human drivers. 5G also makes the Internet of Things (IoT,物联网) possible. IoT is a large network that connects everything to the Internet. Smart homes are part of it. The most widely used smart home technology is the voice-activated assistant (语音激活助手), such as Google Home and Amazon's Alexa. They both allow users to connect with nearly anything in their home simply by speaking a few words. This is especially good for children and disabled people, as they can do things that would normally be too difficult. With the help of science and technology, common electrical products can become “smart” as well. For example, according to How Stuff Works, a smart trash bin can keep track of (追踪 ) the things you've thrown away and place an online order for new items. Smart fridges can create dinner recipe based on the food inside. But it's more than just convenient. Smart homes are also environmentally-friendly. There is no need for people to turn off lights and other things by themselves. Instead, these things will automatically go off when they are not used. In this way, much electricity can be saved. Using less energy means that we use fewer natural resources, which is good for the environment. 24. Which of the following TRUE? A. Self-driving cars can run traffic lights by “talking” to them. B. Self-driving cars communicate with each other by sending signals. C. Self-driving cars are safer and faster. 25.What can a smart fridge do? A. Create a dinner with the food inside. B.
