Water slide dash 驚險的水上溜滑梯
On a sunny day at the water park, Mark and Kathleen went to the top of a water slide.
“Let's have a race,” Kathleen said. “One, two, three, go!”
Mark easily beat Kathleen to the bottom of the slide. When Mark landed in the pool, water splashed all over the lifeguards.
“That was great fun,” Mark said.
“I suppose,” Kathleen said. “Let's try again.”
Mark won again, splashing the lifeguards even more.
“Dude, that's a big splash,” one of the lifeguards said. “Let's go dry off.”
The lifeguards went to the locker room. Mark looked at Kathleen, who had a sour look on her face.
“Let's go race one more time,” Mark said. “We'll try a different slide, and I'll give you a head start.”
Mark and Kathleen went all the way to the top of the stairs.
“You go first,” Mark said. “I'll count to three then go.”
Kathleen raced down the slide and let out a gasp as she passed through a tunnel.
“Mark! Don't come down this slide!”
But it was too late. Kathleen looked back and saw Mark's trunk coming out the end of the tunnel. The rest of him was nowhere to be seen …
風和日麗的一天，馬克和凱薩琳在水上樂園，跑到了水上溜滑梯的頂端。
「我們來比賽，」凱薩琳說︰「一、二、三，出發！」
馬克輕而易舉就擊敗凱薩琳，溜到滑梯底端。馬克掉進池裡時，水花四濺，好幾位救生員都被濺濕了。
馬克說︰「好好玩喔。」
「大概吧，」凱薩琳說︰「我們再試一次吧！」
馬克又贏了，那些救生員也被濺得更濕了。
「老兄，水花也濺得太高了吧，」其中一名救生員說︰「我們得去擦乾了。」
那群救生員走向擺放置物櫃的休息室。馬克看到凱薩琳的臉色很臭。
「我們再比一次吧，」馬克說︰「這次來試試另一個滑梯，我先讓你開始。」
馬克和凱薩琳走到了另一個溜滑梯的頂端。
「你先出發吧，」馬克說︰「我數到三再溜。」
凱薩琳迅速溜下了滑梯，她通過隧道時，呼了一口氣。
「馬克！不要滑下來。」
可惜為時已晚。凱薩琳回頭一望，只看到馬克的象鼻伸出了隧道口，卻看不到身體的其他部分‥‥‥

A: What types of fruit enzymes should we take to help reduce eye floaters? B: According to a study published in the “Applied Sciences” journal by Taiwanese ophthalmologist Horng Chi-ting, pineapple, papaya and fig supplements can improve symptoms. A: Pineapples are in season now, so you should munch on more of those to get rid of floaters. B: Not quite. Enzymes can be damaged by our stomach acid if we eat the fruit directly. The doctor says taking fruit enzyme capsules is better for absorption. A: Most importantly, we should reduce our use of personal electronics to prevent floaters from

Rice is essential to Japanese culture, tradition and politics. People take pride in the oval-shaped sticky Japonica grain, which is still a staple even though total consumption has fallen over the decades. But since last summer, prices have soared as supplies have fallen short of demand. The government has long paid farmers to cut back on rice acreage, and change to other crops to keep rice prices relatively high. To cope with shortfalls this year, the government has released rice reserves. But the grain has been slow to reach supermarket shelves. Anger over that was part of the reason the Agriculture Minister
