上海中高级口译考试分为笔试和口试，在笔试考试通过后会颁发笔试证书，通过一次笔试可以获得四次口试的机会。中高级口译的笔试和口试虽然是分开进行的，但其笔试的证书在社会上却有很高的认可度。

We already live in an over communicated world that will only become more so in the next tech- era. We’ve developed technology that gets us so much information that we’ve got cell phones that we need every second, we’ve got computers and laptops, we’ve got personal organizers and we are just being bombarded with communication and every advancing technology seems to create more and more communications at us. We are thought of overwhelmed by the information flow. Research suggests that all the multitasking may actually make our brains work better and faster, producing a worldwide increase in IQ up to 20 points and more in recent decades. Is there any real benefit in all these mental gymnastics we now have to go through? We are not becoming a race of global idiots but many do think certain skills are enhanced and certain are not.
You know the ability to make fast decisions to answer a dozen emails in five minutes or to fill out maybe big aptitude tests that’s enhanced. Between someone is out there with his kids playing in his little league and or something like that, he’s got his cell phone in his pocket. He’s always wondering "Jeez! Did I got a voice mail?" This might have negative effects on own brain patterns. Creativity is something that happens slowly. It happens when your brain is just whirling around, just playing. When it puts together ideas which you haven’t thought of . Or may be you have time to read a book. You are a business person that you have time to read a book about history or about philosophy and something that happened long ago.
Or something or some idea or some default of long ago. Actually it might occurred to you that you might think of your own business in that way so this mixture of unrelated ideas that feeds your productivity, feeds your creativity and if your mind is disciplined to answer every email then you don’t have time for that playful whirling, you don’t have time for those unexpected conjunctions. So I thinking maybe we are getting smarter in some senses but over communication is a threat to our creativity and to our reflection.
