Five years is a rather short time in the long history of China. But for digital (数字的) development, a lot of changes have taken place in many aspects of our life.
Nowadays, it’s normal for people to communicate on WeChat, the most popular mobile social media platform in China. People take less cash (现金) with them because most of the stores and hotels accept WeChat Pay and Alipay.
In China, holding a mobile phone means having the world in your hands. You can shop, travel, communicate, have fun by using a mobile phone, and all of these tasks can be completed with a few finger taps. Without mobile phones, life would seem dull.
By the end of 2016, there were 695 million mobile phone users in China, an increase of 12 percent on year—on—year basis. The average mobile Internet data traffic reached 172 megabytes per month, which was far more than the global average.
At the two sessions (两会), Premier Li Keqiang pointed out that in 2017 the speed of mobile network would be increased and the cost would be reduced greatly. Mobile rates for domestic roaming (国内漫游) and long distance calls would be cancelled (取消).
Meanwhile, the TD-LTE 4G communication technology developed mainly in China has been accepted and widely used across the world.
In 2020, China’s 5G network is in service. It helps China’s mobile telecommunication overtake (反超) the international community’s.

【推荐1】Many of us may have experienced the pleasant surprise of seeing recommended（推荐的）songs after listening to certain songs on a music app. When we open shopping websites, we are more likely to see things on the home page that we might want to buy. This is based on data（数据）. Data is no longer only about numbers, but information from almost every part of our lives：our location, shopping habits and interests. All of this is called "big data".
Last year, President Xi Jinping called for China to speed up its big data strategy in order to better serve social and economic development and improve people's lives, the Xinhua News Agency reported. He also asked for greater use of big data in areas like education, safety and transportation.
The past few years have seen big data being used more often in China. The role it plays in tourism is just one example. The data travelers share online is providing the tourism industry with a lot of information about the country's scenic areas. After that, different scenic areas can create their own online information which for other travelers to see. The information not only shows travelers' reviews, but also tells the scenic areas which services need to be improved.
Big data is also an important growth engine（增长引擎）for economic development. With an annual growth rate of 30 percent, sales of big data services and products in China will reach 1 trillion yuan yearly by 2020, China News Service reported.

【推荐3】Imagine—you are running to catch a train, only to find that you forgot your ID card（身份证）! There is no way you can board without it. However, don’t worry. In the near future, all the people in China will just need a new one on their smartphones.
In fact, China’s first ID cards appeared in 1984. But the ID cards now are the second ones with 18 numbers, standing for one’s birthplace, birth date and gender（性别）. In 2018, China has already started the first try of digital（数字的）IDs. It was only used among the people in cities including Quzhou, Hangzhou and Fuzhou to open bank accounts（账户）, check into hotels and buy high-speed railway tickets and so on.
This year, the government will introduce these new digital ID cards to the whole country. That’s to better meet the basic living needs of more than 100 million people who live away from their home provinces. These people have to go to school or work at different places away from their homes. Sometimes to prove that “I am who I am”, they have to run back to home provinces. It is a waste of time and money.
Digital ID cards can allow related information to be accessed by a simple scan（扫描）with a smartphone, which is like the way we pay for the bills with WeChat. It is easier than the old IDs.
Also, the government will provide convenience for people who do not use smartphones, especially the old. Certainly, at this time we should pay more attention to the information safety and privacy.

【推荐1】The arts, especially music, should be part of every school’s lessons at every grade level. Students would be much smarter if they had some musical experience. They could improve their classroom skills, like paying attention and following directions. People develop all these skills when they learn music. Making music also lets children use their imagination. It provides students with a chance to try out their own ideas.
Music not only makes children better students, but also gives them something positive (积极) to do. In a music program, children can be part of a band instead of joining a gang (团伙). Parents can enjoy listening to their children’s music instead of seeing them glued to a computer or TV screen. In a school band, students get to be part of a team. They can get along well with old friends and make new friends through music.
Music builds self-confidence, too. It gives children a sense of achievement and success. Making music is something for them to be proud of, and it lets kids practice performing in front of an audience. Music gives children a chance for self-expression, and that helps develop their self-confidence.
Once again, music is important because it can make children better students, give them something positive to do, and build their character. That is why music should be offered in every single grade in every school.

【推荐3】In the UK, most children have their lunches at school, but in some schools, parents can choose what their children eat. The children can have a school dinner — a hot, cooked meal; or they can take a packed lunch with them, which usually includes cold food like sandwiches.
Often parents know what their children want. Cathy, a mother of three children, told us, “My children have packed lunches because they say they hate school dinners. So I make three packed lunches every morning.”
However, another mother, Susan, made a different choice. She said, “My daughters have always had school dinners. I think they probably get healthier food at school than a few sandwiches I make for them.”
But are school dinners healthy? Katz, a father, thought poorly of them. He said, “Fizzy drinks (汽水) were offered and I think there were lot of chips.”
Jamie Oliver spent a year working in a school kitchen. He was worried about the unhealthy food which included burgers, pizzas and chips. So he tried to cook healthy food such as good stews（炖汤） and curries（咖喱） for the children instead.
So Janie improved the school dinners, and trained the dinner ladies to cook healthy food in that school. Then he advised the government to improve school food across the country. And it seems that the changes have begun.
Anna, a pupil, told us, “we used to have a fast food window where you got chips and coke, but they stopped that this year. There’s salad restaurant, which is good, so it’s healthier than it was.”

【推荐2】“Mosquitoes are more likely to bite people with type O blood (O型血).” Have you heard someone say this before? It’s not true!
I’m not very picky (挑剔的) about blood types. In fact, I cannot tell which blood type you are. Only doctors can do that. So how do I choose who to bite?
I can smell the carbon dioxide (二氧化碳) on people’s breath. The more you breathe out, the more easily I can find you. This means larger and fatter people are more likely to get my “kiss”.
I can also find food by smelling. You play outside and start sweating (出汗) all over. I can smell the lactic acid (乳酸) in your sweat. So yummy!
I also use my eyes to find food. But my eyesight (视力) is not very good. If you are trying to avoid me, do not wear colors such as black, red or dark blue.
