Huaweis newest phone, the Mate X, is foldable. You can fold it in half as if you are closing a book. But what makes the Mate X different is that it is folded from the outside.The Mate X is both a phone and a tablet ( 平板电脑). When folded, it works as a phone. When unfolded, it is a tablet. The phone is very thin. When it is open, it is 5.4 mm thick, and when it is closed it is just 11 mm. 5G can also work on Mate X, which means users can get a whole movie in just a few seconds. But users can only take selfies (自拍) when the phone is folded. Thats because the phone doesnt have a front camera (镜头).Huawei, the Mate X maker, says they are going to sell Mate X in June this year, and the price is set at 2299 euros, which is much higher than people expected. Can you accept the price for changing a phone?31 . When Mate X is open, itsthick.A1.1 mmB5.4 mmC4.5 mmD11 mm32 .

Money and success alone do not bring lasting happiness. Aristotle, a Greek thinker, said, “Happiness depends on be happier.The first secret of happiness is to enjoy the simple things in life. Too often, we spend so much time thinking about the future for example, getting into college or getting a good job that we fail to enjoy the present. You should enjoy lifes simple pleasures, such as reading a good book, listening to your favorite music, or spending time with close friends. People who have several close friends often live happier and healthier lives.Another secret to living a happy life is to be active, and have hobbies where you forget your problems and time. Many people experience dancing, or playing a sport, such as swimming. You can forget about your problems, and only think about the activity.Finally, many people find happiness in helping others. Studies show that people feel good when they spend their time helping others. If you want to feel happier, do good things for someone. You can help a friend with his or her studies, go shopping to buy food for an elderly person, or simply help out around the house by washing the dishes.34 .
