The development of the creativity districts (创业园区) is pushing out those who made the place attractive.

According to Xiao Lei, who owns a caf6 in Tianzifang (田子坊), one of Shanghai's cultural districts, rents (租金) in the area have increased so much that many owners have to leave. According to Xiao, some hot places in the area cost up to 100,000 yuan a month to rent.

\"Some people with true creativity are moving out, jumping from new low price areas to the next,\" says Xiao.

When it comes to pills (药丸), many people try to keep away from them. But in Tianzifang, the traditional use of pills is being changed. In fact, in one of the shops, pills are a best seller among young visitors.

\"Our pills are not bitter. They're all sweet,\" says Wang Jin, 28, the owner of Sweet Pills. Wang says the city's creativity districts provide young people who want to do their own business with better opportunities (=chances) and great fun as well.

What Wang is referring to are not real pills for illness, but candies with printed words on the

5 / 6

上海中考英语综合练习（无答案）

package (包装) that are aimed at some young people - \"Tuhao pills\" and \"Xueba pills\".

According to Wang, the idea of selling candies in the form of medicine started as a joke.

\"The first idea was to print jokes on the candy bottles,\" says Wang. \"But after some time, we found that they didn't work well.\" So Wang and her teammates quickly turned their attention to online catchphrases (标语), which are much more popular than jokes.

To Wang's own surprise, the idea was a big seller. Just two days after her shop's official opening in Tianzifang, the pills were all sold out. Wearing a white coat, just like a doctor, Wang was happy looking at the empty shelves in the store. At least Wang is not worried about the 40,000 yuan rent every month. She is ready for a new shop in a new neighborhood.
