To prove that Quantum Stealth really exists, the company has released photos and even a video showing its magical properties．For those that are still sceptical, they have only one thing to say both the US and Canadian military officials have witnessed it live and are so impressed that they are working with Hyper stealth Technology to create the next generation \make the soldier invisible all at once!

5．Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?
In 2014 Chinese Internet users have summed up top 10 network buzzwords (网络流行语) of 2014. Here are listed some of them in no particular order. 1. It is to be cherished（珍惜）.
On March 31, 2014, Ma Yili responded to Wen Zhang’s cheating on Sina Weibo. It reads as follows: Being in love is easy, being married is not. It is to be cherished. Soon many Internet users began to make sentences with this pattern. For example, “Copying is easy, creating is not. It is to be cherished.” 2. So the question is……
“So the question is…” is taken from the advertising of Lanxiang Vocational School in Shandong Province: “So the question is: Which school offers the best excavator skills? Go to Shandong and find Lanxiang.” Netizens added the phrase “now here comes the question” before the question “which school has the best excavator skills?”, which can also be followed with other questions”. 3. Rich and Bitch（任性）
The buzzword originates from a real event: A while back, a Mr. Liu spent 1760 yuan online buying a health care product. In the following four months, Mr. Liu remitted (汇款) more than half a million yuan to the swindler. When reporters interviewed him, he said that he had already found himself cheated after spending only 70,000 yuan. “I just wanted to see how much they could take from me!” Sometimes it is translated as, “You can just be stubborn if you’re rich.”. Another way to understand it is “I can do what I want – I’m rich.”
4. Meng Meng Da (cute /adorable)
Meng Meng Da developed from the sounds of kissing both cheeks. The characters “么么哒” are often used in text messaging to symbolize kisses, much like “XOXO” in English. The kissing sounds were eventually replaced with “meng”, which means “cute” or “adorable.”
