You probably buy a bag of potato chips every now and then. They are tasty!
One eighth-grade student in Colorado, US recently bought a bag of chips at school. He was very surprised to find a dead mouse inside the bag when he opened it.
The school then sent the bag and mouse to the company in Texas, US that makes the chips, Frito-Lay.

The company found a chew hole in the bag. They said the mouse had chewed itself into the bag.
Aurora Gonzalez of Frito-Lay said the mouse probably got into the bag after the chips got to the school.
She said a veterinarian had examined the mouse. It had been dead for one to three days before the student found it.
The school district could not be contacted.
The schools in the area stopped selling chips from its vending machines and lunch lines.

你也許偶爾會買包洋芋片來吃。它們真是可口!
美國科羅拉多州一名八年級學生日前在學校買了一包洋芋片,打開後赫然發現裡面有一隻死老鼠。
之後,校方把這包洋芋片連同老鼠屍體寄回負責生產的德州Frito-Lay公司。
Frito-Lay方面在洋芋片的包裝上發現了一個咬洞,他們表示,老鼠是自己咬破洞鑽進去的。
Frito-Lay的歐若拉?岡薩雷斯表示,老鼠可能是在洋芋片運抵學校後才鑽進袋內。
她說,一名獸醫已檢驗過這隻死老鼠,老鼠是在學生發現之前一至三天才死亡的。
目前無法與校方取得聯繫。
該區各校已禁止校內自動販賣機及自助午餐販賣洋芋片。

On Tuesday last week, the flame for this summer’s Paris Olympics was lit at the birthplace of the ancient Olympic Games in southern Greece in a meticulously choreographed ceremony. It will then be carried through Greece for more than 5,000km before being handed over to French organizers at the Athens venue used for the first modern Olympics in 1896. The pageantry at Olympia has been an essential part of every Olympics for nearly 90 years since the Games in Berlin. It’s meant to provide an ineluctable link between the modern event and the ancient Greek original on which it was initially modelled. Once
Continued from yesterday(延續自昨日) https://www.taipeitimes.com/News/lang As with many aspects of Japanese culture, there is etiquette to follow when you enjoy noodles. To fully experience noodles like a local on your next visit to Japan, consider these simple guidelines. First, be careful where you put your chopsticks. Don’t leave them sticking up in the broth or set them at the side of the bowl. When you have finished eating or if you’re taking a break, place them on the chopstick rest next to the bowl. Also, it is impolite to wave chopsticks around or bring them above mouth-level. Second, don’t take too
