China Eastern Airline and other domestic airlines have begun to allow mobile phone use on their flights(航班) or announced plans to cancel the ban(禁令).

On Thursday, China Eastern Airlines and Hainan Airlines began to allow passengers to use portable electronic devices (PED), such as smartphones and tablets, but phones still have to be changed to airplane mode(飞行模式). China Southern Airlines and Xiamen Airlines announced Thursday they would allow mobile phone use on all their flights soon.

The permission comes after the Civil Aviation Administration of China(中国民用航空局) asked that the ban be canceled earlier this week. According to the guideline before, staffs in the planes needed to ask passengers to turn off any devices that could interrupt the flight, even airplane mode was not permitted.

Inflight wifi is available on 74 of China Eastern Airlines' aircrafts, covering all international routes and 166 domestic routes. Hainan Airlines has enabled inflight wifi on 17 of its airplanes.

"Before, I just slept aboard the airplane, sometimes read magazines in front of me and then had nothing to do. But now, I can use my social network accounts like Weibo or Wechat," said a passenger named Zuo, who took a flight with wifi from Shanghai Thursday.

Before 2018, mobile phone use on aircraft was banned over safety concerns. The ban is a common international practice, but with technological development and a higher demand from passengers, the ban has been canceled by some airlines.

To become a doctor in the United States, students usually attend four years of medical school after they complete college. Then these young doctors work in hospitals for several years to complete a training program called a residency(住院医生实习期).

These medical residents provide hospitals with needed services in return for not much pay. They work under the supervision(管理)of medical professors and more experienced doctors. Medical residents treat patients. They carry out tests. They perform operations. They complete records. In hospitals with few nurses, residents also do work formerly done by nurses. Some medical residents work one-hundred or more hours in a single week.

They often work for more than thirty-six hours at a time before they can rest.

Critics(批评家)of this system say medical residents work too long and do not get enough rest. They say these young doctors may be too tired to perform their medical duties effectively. Now, the government will limit the number of hours of work that residents can work. Most doctors in training will be limited to eighty-four hours of work each week. They will have work periods of no more than twenty-four hours at one time. They will have ten hours of rest between work periods.

Medical residents will have one day each week when they do not have to work. Any work they accept outside their hospitals will be limited. Experienced doctors and medical professors will closely supervise the residents to make sure they are not too tired to work.

Many medical residents welcomed the work limits. Others, however, said the new policy may interfere with patient care and their own medical education.
