These annoying things will soon become a thing of the ___76___, 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（电信）companies will be able to offer 5G network speeds for mobile phone users.

The“G”in“5G”___77___ generation（of mobile network technology）. 1G let us talk to each other. 2G let us send messages. 3G gave us mobile data and internet, and 4G made all of these things faster.

D. Answer the questions.

My name is Opal. Last summer my daddy sent me to the store for a box of cheese, some white rice, and two tomatoes and I came back with a dog. This is what happened: I walked into the vegetable section of the grocery store to pick out my two tomatoes and I almost bumped（撞）right into the store manager. He was standing there all red-faced, screaming and waving his arms around.

“Who let a dog in here?”he kept on shouting.“Who let a dog in here?”

At first, I didn’t see a dog. There were just a lot of vegetables on the floor, tomatoes and onions and green peppers. It seemed that all the employees were running around, waving their arms just the same way the store manager was waving his.

And then the dog came running around the corner. He was a big dog. And ugly. And he looked like he was having a real good time. His tongue was hanging out and he was wagging（摇摆）his tail. He suddenly stopped and smiled right at me. I had never before in my life seen a dog smile, but that is what he did. He pulled back his lips and showed me all his teeth. Then he wagged his tail so hard that he knocked some oranges off a shelf, and they went rolling everywhere, mixing in with the tomatoes and onions and green peppers.

The manager screamed,“Somebody get that dog!”

The dog went running over to the manager, wagging his tail and smiling. He stood up on his hind legs（后腿）. You could tell that all he wanted to do was get face to face with the manager and thank him for the good time he was having in the store, but somehow he ended up knocking the manager over. And the manager must have been having a bad day, because lying there on the floor, right in front of everybody, he started to cry. The dog came to him, real concerned, and licked（舔）his face.

“Please,”said the manager.“Somebody call the pound（流浪狗收留所）.”

“Wait a minute！”I shouted.“_____________________________________.”
