Xiao Li, a college student born after 1995, used to wash her hair every two days. But as the weather has got colder, she has become lazier. She bought a mist spray(免洗喷雾), which allows her to wash her hair less often.
She is not the only you Chinese who spends money because she's lazy According to a report in December by Taobao on Chinas lazy economy(经济), Chinese people spent 16 billion yuan on products and services online in 2018. The post-1995(95后)generation was the laziest as its consumption(消费)increased by 82 percent, compared with that in 2017.
The so-called lazy economy refers to a new type of consumption of products and services which are designed to save time and labour.
According to the report, many people of the post-1995 generation buy high-tech electronic devices such as floor mopping robots and automatic window cleaners, which save the trouble of doing housework. Meanwhile, take-out food delivery services are also popular among people born after 1995.
Young people are willing to spend money on such products so that they can enjoy their spare time after a busy and stressful day at work or school. Besides, they can also focus on their studies or jobs, these so-called lazy people tend to use their spare time more freely.
While the lazy economy might be convenient for young people, it might also create problems. The lazy economy is expressed in things like people buying food or other things without leaving their living places. As a result, they stay in their houses all day long, playing on computers and phones. This situation could lead to young people becoming less sociable and even developing problems of communicating with others. Young people should pay more attention to it.
The lazy economy is a choice of lifestyle. While the lazy economy saves time and labour, the saved time should be used to do valuable things.

On March2, at a press conference(记者发布会), interpreter((翻译) Yao Mengyao caught the attention of many people with her quick reaction and correct translation.
Like Yao, Zhang Lu is an interpreter for Chinas top leaders, including Premier(总理)Li Keqiang and former premier Wen Jiabao. Nine years ago, her wonderful translations of ancient poems cited(引用) by Premier Wen won praise.
At the press conference during the two sessions(两会)of 2010, Wen cited a sentence from the poem Li Sao to show his determination(决心) to deal with the problems in the governments work. With amazing skills, Zhang Interpreted the sentence quite accurately(精准地).
So how do interpreters reach their top positions?
The reason for their success is largely hard work. Besides when they go out on visits with Chinese leaders. the interpreters follow a very strict timetable. Every day they trained themselves by listening to foreign media such as BBC, VOA or CNN through TV or radio.
A month before the two sessions, the interpreters get notice of the spokespersons they are going to translate for. They then make full use of this month to get everything ready. They try to predict(预测) the questions that might be asked and think about the words and phrases the spokespersons might use when they answer the questions.
In truth, there is no secret to their success. It's all a matter of skill and hard work.
