thepast.Instead,the documentary movie,which came out in Chinese cinemas on Dec.16,focuses on ordinary people-the restorers（修复者）of relics and antiquities（古董）.The stories are told at a slow and relaxed pace,reflecting the restorers*work.Restoration of cultural relics and antiques can be time-consuming,and sometimesboring.Yet these restorers patience and peace of mind are especially precious in a societywhere everything is changing so fast.If you choose this job,you have to stand hours of work sitting on a chair.You need tobe quiet and get used to being quiet,says Wang Jinan ancient clock repair expert.A touching part of the documentary is the spirit of craftsmanship（工艺）in therestorers.Years of humdrum work requires not only skilh but also faith and spirit,ChinaDaily commented.Looking for preciseness and perfection,devoting yourself to work,patience,endurance（忍耐），lonelinessAll these qualities come from the craftsman spirit.But unlike the popular idea of serious experts who sit around being serious,thedocumentary shows off the enthusiasm of the restorers.They play their guitars and makejokes about each other after a long day of restoration work.One scene that has been very popular with Internet users features a young female restorerriding a bicycle through the empty Forbidden City on a Monday.While she is doing this,anarrator says,The last person to do this was Puyi,the last emperor of the Qing Dynasty.”Masters in the Forbidden City has proved wrong many peoples ideas about antiquerestorers,allowing them to realize that they are not old,dull professors,but people in

gigabit(千兆)speeds.5G is one of those signs,along with artificial intelligence,of this coming data a g e,said Steve Koenig,senior director of market research for the Consumer TechnologyAssociation.The self-driving vehicle is a great emblem of this data age,and that is to say,it is a sign of time,because with one single task,driving,you have massive amounts of datacoming from the vehicle itself,and a variety of sensors are collecting a lot of information tomodel its environment as it moves.It*s pulling in data from other vehicles about roadconditions down the lane.It could be weather information,but also connected infrastructure第2页 共7 9页(基础设施)construction.Theres lots of data behind that task,which is why we need highspeed.”Augmented reality glasses and virtual headset havent yet

children with math-related skills.Psychologist Susan Levine,an expert on mathematics development in young children atthe University of Chicago,found children who play with puzzles between ages 2 and 4 laterdevelop better spatial skills.Puzzle play was found to be a significant predictor of cognition(认知)after controlling for differences in parents income,education and the amount of parenttalk,Levine
