Its also about an important slice of Chinas economy coming to you.If you are a brand manager or a salesman, youre increasingly

22、likely to find yourself fighting with the push of Chinese e-commerce companies in your home market. Thats for two reasons: Chinas leadership in electronic payments and the continued rise in Chinese tourism. The result of this is that Chinese consumers are an increasingly important factor in markets

23、around the world.On the electronic payment front, there are some strong reasons to introduce the electronic payment systems Chinese consumers are already using.

30、 be purchased with just one click, its become an automatic response to simply replace what breaks. Generations raised in the earlier half of the 20th century will say that this wasnt always so: household appliances（器具）, clothing, electronics and more used to be bought under the assumption that, with

31、 the occasional repairs, they would last a lifetime.Now, some conscientious consumers are taking matters into their own hands and joining the Repair Caf movement.

The amount of people who wanted to garden in urban areas is also rising. Ms. Sullivan says, “In small gardens, on rooftops and indoors, city

42、residents grow fruits, vegetables, grains, and herbs, and raise animals to produce milk, eggs, honey, and meat. City residents use these foods as supplements to food produced by rural agriculture.” Even though some people who live in urban areas grow crops, urban residents still need to rely on food

43、 grown in rural areas. This is because a city doesnt have enough space to grow enough food for everyone living in it.In New York City, urban farmers have come up with many different ways to grow their own produce, even though there isnt a lot of room. For example, Brooklyn Grange is a farming operat

44、ion that has two rooftop vegetable farms in New York City. All together, the farms are made up of 2.5 acres of rooftop space.

49、intain contact with the surroundings. Though apparently it may feel like these are individual sensory organs，they do show some connectivity. Interestingly，our hearing is less sharp after we eat a heavy food. Isnt it good for a sound nap after a stomach-full meal？That does not mean we go deaf after a

50、 meal，but the hearing pitch（强度）does change after a heavy meal.We usually give credit of the taste to our tongue，but do you know that unless saliva（唾液）dissolves something，our tongue cannot recognize the taste of the food eaten.
