Soccer fans tend to be crazy about their team. But some of those fans cross a line and act violently.
On Feb. 2, a huge fight broke out during an Italian soccer match in Sicily. One police officer was killed in the fighting.
The Italian government has decided to take steps to keep violent fans out of Italian stadiums.

Teams will only be able to sell tickets to individuals, not groups, and suspected hooligans may be held by police even if they haven't done anything wrong yet.
Teams that do not follow the new rules will not be able to allow fans into the stadium. That means they would play games with nobody in the stadium.
That would hurt a team's morale and finances, so all teams are likely to accept the new rule quickly.
Sports Minister Giovanna Melandri also said the fan mentality must change, and opponents should not be enemies.

足球迷很容易對支持的球隊瘋狂不已。不過,有些球迷太過火了,還產生暴力行為。
二月二日,一場在義大利西西里島舉行的足球賽爆發大規模衝突,造成一名警員喪生。
義大利政府已決定採取措施,把暴力球迷擋在球場外。
球隊將只能售票給個人,不能賣給團體,警方可以扣留疑似足球流氓的人,即便他們並未犯錯。
未遵守新規定的球隊將禁止讓球迷進場。這意味他們會踢一場無人觀賞的比賽。
這會對球隊的士氣與收益造成巨大傷害,因此所有球隊大概很快就會接受新規定了。
義大利體育部長喬凡娜.梅蘭德里也說,球迷的心態必須改變,不應該把對手當敵人。

The strongest earthquake to hit Taiwan in 25 years killed at least 16 people and damaged dozens of buildings, but the destruction was largely contained thanks to decades of preparedness work. Taiwan sits on the “Ring of Fire,” an arc of intense seismic activity along the Pacific Rim, and — much like neighboring Japan — has a long history of catastrophic quakes. How does April 3 compare with other recent quakes? The April 3 earthquake, which measured 7.4 on the moment magnitude scale, was felt across Taiwan. It was the most severe since a 7.6 magnitude quake in 1999 killed
Around the time of the Dragon Boat Festival in June, the streets of Taiwan are filled with the delightful aroma of zongzi, a traditional snack made of sticky rice wrapped in leaves. The leaves are folded into a cone and then filled with sticky rice and other ingredients such as braised pork belly, peanuts and salted duck egg yolks. The filled leaves are then tightly tied with kitchen twine and ready for cooking. 每到六月端午時節,街頭巷尾就會飄出粽子的香氣。粽子是將糯米包進粽葉的傳統美食,先將粽葉折成圓錐狀塞入糯米,以及紅燒肉、花生、鹹鴨蛋黃等配料,用棉線綁緊後即可烹煮。 Dragon Boat Festival (n. phr.) 端午節 aroma
Everyone has seen a piece of fruit turn brown after being cut. Have you ever wondered why that happens? It is a common phenomenon that occurs due to a chemical reaction called enzymatic browning. The appearance, flavor and nutritional value of the fruit are all affected by this reaction. Some fruits, such as apples, pears, bananas, avocados and peaches, are more prone to enzymatic browning than others. These fruits contain high levels of an enzyme called polyphenol oxidase, or PPO for short. __1__ This causes a chain of chemical reactions that ultimately transforms the phenolic compounds into
A: Artificial intelligence technology has been causing controversy lately: a student was caught cheating with AI to win the grand prize in an art contest. B: That’s so absurd. Does this mean that AI paints better than humans? A: Maybe. Luckily, the student was later disqualified. B: And more absurdly, it’s becoming more and more popular to use AI technology to “resurrect” people. A: Yeah, some netizens even posted videos featuring the late singer CoCo Lee, who was “resurrected” by them with AI software. A: 人工智慧的爭議不斷,有學生違規使用AI參加美術展,甚至贏得首獎。 B: 真誇張,這是不是代表AI比人類還強大? A: 或許吧,幸好得獎資格被取消。 B: 還有更誇張的︰讓死者重現的「AI復活」技術越來越熱門。 A: 對啊,還有網友製作已故歌后李玟「復活」的影片呢! (By Eddy Chang, Taipei Times/台北時報張聖恩)
