Most children know, if you want to have good table manners, one of the most important rules is, "Don't play with your food." But when you aren't actually at the dinner table, sometimes playing with your food can be a great thing.
The man in this picture is an artist from Italy. He doesn't just play with his food, he makes art out of it. Can you tell what kind of fruit he carved to make this dog?
Oranges! In this picture, the sculpture is a dog, but there are many other things you could make from oranges and other kinds of fruit. Can you think of any?

Making art out of food is fun because when you're finished, you can eat your creation! (Kayleen Hartman, Staff writer)
大多數孩童都知道，假如你想要有良好的餐桌禮儀，最重要的規矩之一就是「別拿你的食物來玩」。不過，當你並未坐在餐桌旁時，有時候玩玩食物可說是樂趣無窮。
照片中的人是義大利藝術家。他不只拿食物來玩，還用食物創作藝術。你知道他是用哪一種水果雕刻這隻狗呢？
答案是柳橙！照片中的雕塑品是一隻狗，不過你還可以用柳橙或各種水果創造出許多東西。你想到了什麼嗎？
用食物創作藝術很有趣，因為作品一旦完成，你還可以把你的作品吃掉！ （翻譯：賴美君）
The human body was not built for spaceflight, with its microgravity conditions, exposure to high-energy radiation and other issues. As a result, trekking beyond the Earth’s confines causes many physiological changes that affect an astronaut’s health. The issue gained new currency with the March mission to return astronauts Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams to Earth after they were stranded on the International Space Station (ISS) for nine months. WHY IS SPACE TRAVEL TOUGH ON THE HUMAN BODY? The human body evolved over millions of years to function optimally in Earth’s environment, which includes its gravity, atmospheric composition and relatively low levels of
Indonesia is undertaking an ambitious project to relocate its capital from Jakarta to Nusantara, a new city in the province of East Kalimantan. This bold endeavor aims to address the severe environmental challenges and urban congestion plaguing Jakarta. The current capital city struggles with acute air pollution, frequent flooding, and rapid land subsidence. Experts predict that by 2050, a third of Jakarta could be submerged. The primary causes include excessive groundwater extraction and rising sea levels attributed to climate change. Moreover, with a population of over 10 million, it’s very much the economic center of the country. Unfortunately, this

Dos & Don’ts — 想想看，這句話英語該怎麼說？ 1. 王老師很負責，每天都準時到學校。 √ Miss Wang is conscientious. She comes to school on time every day. χ Miss Wang is very responsible. Every day she goes to school on time. 註︰一個人很認真、負責、敬業，英文通常用 conscientious 來表達，它的名詞是conscience（良心）。responsible 接在 be 動詞之後是指對某事負責，也可指做錯事時該負的責任，因此“她該負責”英文是 She is responsible for it.。如果某人很負責、值得信賴，可以託付重任，可說 She / He is a responsible person.。 2. 他個子不高。 √ He is not tall. χ His body is not tall. χ He is not high. 註︰high 通常指「物」的高大，tall 則指「人或細長物」的「高」。但講人的高度，有數字時可以說： He is six feet high. He is six feet tall. 3. 我能占用你幾分鐘嗎？ √ Can you spare me a few minutes? χ May I occupy you a few minutes? 註︰spare：騰出，省下。不顧句型及前後文，只把學過的英文詞彙的中文解釋任意還原為英文時很容易造出這種中式的英文句子。 4. 讓我想想看。 √ Let me think it over. √ Let
