Zhang Yineng, a freshman at Hangzhou University, earned his first pot of gold by designing websites for American companies. Zhang never even met the people who hired him. Instead, all the necessary transactions (交易)were done through myTino.com, a Hangzhou based online outsourcing network. Zhang has already earned enough money to pay for two semesters of university tuition.
Zhang is one of the growing number of college students tasting the fruit of globalization. They search for outsourcing projects in fields like programming, art design, translating and writing from both Western and domestic businesses.
This way of making money is becoming common among college students with free time, especially among those who are tech-savvy (有技术的). The payment for such work is rather high, partly because the tasks demand more skills than many other “traditional” part-time jobs do. For instance, creating a website for foreign companies pays $2,000 to $5,000, which is rather high.
The good money is just one benefit. These outsourcing jobs “can also help us to use the knowledge we gained in university,” said Zhang. “Through the tasks assigned by the companies, I can easily find the key hot spots in my field, and what abilities I am lacking. By doing the tasks, I can improve my skills and gain experience.”

New archaeological discovers suggest that trade between Europe and Asia along the Silk Road probably began in some form many countries earlier than once thought. The findings, coupled with a widening range of scientific and historical research could add a fascinating new page to the epic of the Silk Road.
The farest and most surprising discovery is pieces of silk found in the hair of and Egyptian mummy from about 1000 BC, long before regular traffic on the Silk Road and at least one thousand years before silk was previously thought to be used in Egypt. Other research may extend human activity along this route back even further, perhaps a million years to the migration of human ancestors into eastern Asia.

But the new discoveries show that Chinese silk was apparently present in the West long before the Han emperor started organized trade over the Silk Road.
