20．A recent study by Citi Retail Services found that a growing number of people are embracing digital wallets or e-wallets，due in large part to their convenience and ease of use．
E-wallets have been called the future of real-world payment technology．With major players like Alipay，WeChat and Apple Pay becoming popular，it seems to be a safe bet that a change in consumer payment technology is coming soon．
CNN reporter Paul Ripley experienced a day in Beijing without his wallet．"In China's largest cities，you can definitely survive without carrying a pocket full of cash and credit cards-as long as you've got your smartphone．"He paid for breakfast by scanning a QR code on the window of a hole-in-the-wall restaurant．All he had to do was to enter a password and the transaction was complete．
Unlike the situations in the US and other countries，"China doesn't have a really money-making credit card system，so Chinese people just skipped credit cards and went straight to mobile payments．"Gu Yu，co-founder of the new payment app Mileslife，told CNN．He also pointed out the advantages of mobile payments．"No coins or bills that can be lost or stolen，electronic receipts，the ease of keeping track of spending-and of course，no wallet taking up space．"he said．
However，if we want to make e-wallets a mainstream trend，a lot of things will have to change over the coming years．Perhaps one of the most important things that need to be changed is how people regard e-wallets．Linda Barrabee，research director for NPD Connected Intelligence，said in a statement．"In order to promote on-the-go consumer transactions and commerce，wireless carriers，credit card companies，and e-commerce companies need to make sure the process is convenient，simple，and secure for consumers．"

19．Culture themed TV shows regained influence in China after two reality shows，produced by China Central Television （CCTV），went viral．
The Chinese Poetry Competition aroused heated discussion among audiences'opinions on poetry，with themes to enjoy both classical Chinese poems and beauty of life．Since its broadcast，the program has been praised for injecting new blood into TV programs with fantastic performances of contestants，impressive comments from judges as well as its innovative （creative） interactive mode．
In the show，poems can be adapted into songs or described through artistic pictures．Any contestant who can memorize the largest number of poems may not necessarily be the final winner，while fast reaction and usage of poems matter a lot more in the competition．Wu Yishu，a 17-year-old senior high school student from Shanghai，is the champion of this season．Her rich knowledge of classical poetry impressed everyone and she rose to become famous online．Success of this teenage girl has made many adults and children reflect on the significance of traditional Chinese culture．
Following the huge success of this show，another show，"Readers"，has also aroused great interest in audience．By inviting influential celebrities on each episode，"Readers"sets out to explain the power and values behind traditional Chinese culture．
From the TV program Chinese Poetry Competition to Readers，the revival （renewal） of Chinese traditional culture has produced many surprises，particularly its popularity among young people．Chinese fine traditional culture，broad and profound，represents the foundation for our nation to stand out across the globe．Our culture has become an important part of our nation and still shines after thousands of years．

17．Certain people make you feel comfortable when they are around．You spend an hour with them and feel as if you've known them half your life．These people have something in common．And once we know what it is，we can try to do it ourselves．
How is it done？Here are several skills that good talkers have．If you follow the skills，they'll help you put people at their ease，and make friends with them quickly．
First of all，good talkers ask questions．Almost anyone，no matter how shy he is，will answer a question．One wellknown business woman says，"At business lunches，I always ask people what they did that morning．It's a common question，but it will get things going．"From there you can move on to other matters，sometimes to really personal questions．And how he answers will let you know how far you can go．
Second，once good talkers have asked questions，they listen for the answers．This point seems clear，but it isn't．Your questions should have a point and help to tell what sort of person you are talking to．And to find out，you really have to listen carefully and attentively．
Real listening at least means some things．First it means not to change the subject of conversation．If someone sticks to one topic，you can take it as a fact that he's really interested in it．Real listening also means not just listening to words，but to tones of voice．If the voice sounds dull，then，it's time for you to change the subject．
Finally，good talkers know well to deal with the occasion of parting．If you are saying goodbye，you may give him a firm handshake and say，"I've really enjoyed meeting you．"If you want to see that person again，don't keep it a secret．
Let people know what you feel，and they may walk away feeling as if they have known you half their lives．
