Mobile Payments Involvement in Public TransportCOn March 2, at the meeting held ahead of the yearly session of the CPPCC National Committee（全国政协大会）, interpreter（口译员）Yao Mengyao caught the attention of many with her “quick reaction and correct translation,” Xinhua noted.Yao began her studies in English in primary school where she would listen to English tapes. She often spoke to her teacher about English-related topics that were not limited to the ones in her text-books, “They were always very professional uncommon topics,” said Yao's senior school teacher Shen Yingzi.Like Yao, Zhang Lu is a regular interpreter for Chinas top leaders, including Premier Li Keqiang and former Premier Wen Jiabao. Her effortless but on-point translations of ancient poems mentioned by former Premier Wen won praise.So how do interpreters reach their top positions?The reason for their success is largely hard work. Other than when they go out on visits with Chinese leaders, the interpreters follow a very strict schedule. Zhang called this schedule “an unshakable plan”, They listen to foreign media such, as BBC, VOA or CNN through TV or radio for their training.It is reported that a month before the two sessions（两会），the interpreters get notice of the spokesperson they are going to interpret for. They then make full use of this month to prepare themselves.

If you think that is not a simple question, you have not been paying attention to the revolution that is taking place in biotechnology（生物技术）. With the help of new medicine, the human body will last a very long time. Death will come mainly from accidents, murder and war. Today's leading killers, such as heart disease, cancer, and aging itself, will become distant memories.In discussion of technological changes, the Internet gets most of the attention these days. But the change in medicine can be the real technological event of our times. How long can humans live？Human brains were known to decide the final death. Cells are the basic units of all living things, and until recently, scientists were sure that the life of cells could not go much beyond 120 years because the basic materials of cells, such as those of brain cells, would not last forever. But the upper limits will be broken by new medicine. Sometime between 2050 and 2100, medicine will have advanced to the point at which every 10 years or so, people will be able to take medicine to repair their organs. The medicine, made up of the basic building materials of life, will build new brain cells, heart cells, and so onin much the same way our bodies make new skin cells to take the place of old ones.It is exciting to imaging that the advance in technology may be changing the most basic condition of human existence, but many technical problems still must be cleared up on the way to this wonderful future. 12.
