Many believe that life has smiled on Yang Mi: at the age of 4, she got her first TV drama（剧）role; at 16, she became a model for a fashion magazine; at 18, she went to her dream college — Beijing Film Academy (学院).
Last year, the 24-year-old actress played bad girl Luo Qingchuan in the time-traveling TV drama, Palace. The drama became a big success and made Yang very famous. The number of her micro blog followers soared from several thousand to more than 3 million overnight.
Could she be any luckier? Yang doesn’t think luck had anything to do with her success. She paved her way all by herself. “Every chance comes from the efforts I’ve made,” said Yang. People now think she’s very hard-working.
She doesn’t forget the time when people gave her the cold shoulder. Some treated her with little respect. They didn’t want to help her in her time of need. “I have to thank them because they gave me the drive to prove myself,” she said. That’s why she is eager to help others when they are in need.
In May, Yang became the ambassador (大使) for the Climate Group. She calls on people to join the Million-Miracle (百万奇迹) project and plant trees on China’s dry land. Together we’ll fight the bad weather!

Do you shop online with websites like Taobao？ The money you pay doesn't go directly to the seller． Instead， it goes through Alipay， which keeps your money for a while． After you receive your goods and click the "confirm receipt" button， Alipay then gives the money to the seller．
The process is called "third party online payment"． There is a transfer station， or a third account， between sellers and buyers to make online shopping safe． Buyers don't need to worry about paying for goods and then receiving nothing． Sellers also get rid of the risk of receiving no money after sending out goods．
These transfer stations are usually set up by payment service companies such as Alipay， Tenpay and Yeepay． Among them， Alipay is the biggest in China． It has more than 270 million active users， according to Xinhua．
While most online sellers and shoppers like the third party online payment system， banks are not very happy． That is because companies like Alipay are fighting over money with the banks． Users can invest in financial products through Alipay and make money． Thus lots of people choose to put money in Alipay rather than in banks．
But WeChat payment is not the same． WeChat doesn't have its own account． When paying through WeChat， the buyers' money goes directly to the sellers． That's why so many people are excited about receiving and handing out "red envelopes" or gift money to their friends on WeChat，
Whether Alipay or WeChat payment， they are all trying to attract more users and make online shopping easier． These two companies are also promoting payments through fingerprints． New payment methods such as quick response codes have become popular too．

Some people seem to have unusual memories． Zheng Aiqiang， a "memory athlete" on TV show Super Brain， can remember 2， 660 numbers in just one hour!
You would think people like him must have special brains． But according to a recent study by researchers from America and Holland， the brain structure （结构） of ordinary people and 23 of the world's lending memory athletes shows no difference．
Good memories can be trained． New research in the magazine Neuron suggests that a person will get a super memory with just six weeks of hard training．
Researchers found that a technique （技巧） called loci， invented by the ancient Greeks， can greatly help improve memory．
By using loci， you are using your imagination to improve the brain's memory networks． You can link （关联） something you need to remember with a place that you know very well． For example， to remember a list of numbers， imagine yourself walking through your house． Each thing is linked to a number． For example， zero could be the handle on the door and five could be the painting on the wall．
In one study， some ordinary people were given 20 minutes to remember 72 nouns． At the beginning， they could only remember 26 words， but when they were taught loci， they could remember 62 words．
"Not everyone can become a memory winner． But everyone using the technique can improve his memory greatly，" said Boris Konrad， one of the researchers in the study．

Today， heritage is changing， The Internet connects people around the world． In many ways this is a good thing， because we can learn about the heritage of other countries， and we can show our own heritage to the world． however， some people worry that traditional heritage is disappearing． In many ways， countries are becoming more and more alike（相似的）． In most countries around the world， you can find KFC， Nike shoes， Starbucks coffee， American movies and so on． Some people think this is a good change， and others don't like it． You can decide whether or not it's a good thing．
