Making Music with Water

     Have you ever tried making music with glasses or bottles filled with water? I bet your favorite band hasn't. Experiment with your own special sounds by turning glasses of water into instruments, make some cool music and find out how it works.

     What you'll need:

     Five or more drinking glasses or glass bottles.

     Water.

     Wooden stick such as a pencil.

     Instructions:

     Line the glasses up next to each other and fill them with different amounts of water. The first should have just a little water while the last should be almost full, and the ones in between should have slightly more than the first.

     Hit the glass with the least amount of water and watch the sound, then hit the glass with the most water, which makes the higher sound?

     Hit the other glasses and see what noise they make. See if you can get a tune going by hitting the glasses in a certain order.

     What's happening?

     Each of the glasses will have a different tone when you hit with the pencil. The glass with the most water will have the lowest tone while the glass with the least water will have the highest. Small vibrations are made when you hit the glass, and this creates sound waves which travel through the water. More water means slower vibrations and a deeper tone.

    What is a museum? A museum is a good place to keep old and beautiful things. A museum may be a place to learn about science and a place to find out about art or people or animals.

    What is inside a museum? Some museums have old cars and airplanes. Many museums have pictures and statues(雕塑). Others have rocks and old bones (骨头). One museum even has a real old street inside. It has shops and people's statues doing business. It looks so real that one might feel that he was back to the old time.

    Many cities have museums. Some very small towns have museums, too. Indianapolis has a children's museum. Children do not have to pay (付款) to get in. Children often go to the museum. They like to look at the dinosaur (恐龙)bones. They see a white bear ten feet tall.

    On Saturdays, Indianapolis children can hear talks about animals and trees. They see movies. They take hikes. They even learn to make things there.

    Language students often think they have memory problems. They worry because they can't remember words. In fact, the problem usually isn't with their memory. The problem is with how they study.

    To remember words better, you need to understand how memory works. There are two kinds of memory: short-term and long-term. When you see, hear, or read something, it goes first into short-term memory. But short-term memory lasts for only a few seconds. You will only remember something longer if it goes into long-term memory. Your long-term memory is like a very big library with many, many books. And like a library, it's organized (有条理的). When you put away a book – or memory – you can't just leave it anywhere. You have to choose a place where you can find it again.

    How can you do this with vocabulary? The answer is to work with the word and think about the word in new ways. You can do this by writing new sentences that include it. Even better, you can invent a little story about the word, with people or places that you know. Another way is to make a picture in your mind with the word. For example, if the word is height, you can think of the tallest person you know and try to guess his or her height. All of these activities are good ways to think about words. They make the meaning of words stronger in your long-term memory. And they give a way to find a word when you need it.

    Chinese companies lead in global 5G patent applications(专利应用) with Huawei taking the crown, according to a report by IPlytics, an authorized patent data company. Three companies from China were included in the top 10 list of 5G Standards﹣Essential Patents(SEPs)family owner. Huawei ranked first. ZET Corp, and China Academy of Telecommunications Technology (CATT)grabbed fifth and ninth places, respectively.

    Chinese companies topped the list for most 5G SEPs applications in communication systems by the end of April 2019, accounting for 34 percent of the world's total. Chinese tech giant Huawei has taken a leading role by owning 15 percent of SEPs, according to the report Who Is Leading the 5G Patent Race？

    5G SEP are patents that any company will have to use when carrying out 5G technology and no one can avoid them.

    Different from 3G and 4G technologies, 5G technology will influence various industries and encourage the appearance of many new products, services and industries.

    The automotive sector will most likely be one of the first industries to depend on 5G, which will connect vehicles to other vehicles, roadsides, traffic lights, buildings and the Internet, according to the report.

    "It is 5G that is going to be a huge jump forward for communication systems because only with 5G's higher bandwidth can a number of applications be more advanced (尖端的) and used by most consumers," said Nicole Peng, senior director of the market research company Canalys.

    As 5G technology has combined various industries and technologies, the number of 5G SEPs rose to more than 60,000 globally by the end of April 2019, the report said.
