The alligator in the picture is famous in Los Angeles. He was first seen in an LA park about two years ago. The city government worked hard to catch him, but he disappeared.
He finally was seen again about four months ago and was captured. He was put in a pen at Los Angeles Zoo in early August. About a week later, he escaped!
Zoo workers quickly began hunting for the alligator known as Reggie. He was found in the zoo, and the workers managed to catch him.

They said they think Reggie escaped by climbing a side wall in his pen.
"Reggie's a crafty alligator," zoo worker Jason Jacobs said.
Zoo director John Lewis said the zoo has taken steps to stop Reggie from escaping again.
"This alligator just keeps amazing us," Lewis said. "We are going to keep him under watch."

照片中是一隻在美國洛杉磯出了名的鱷魚。大約兩年前,首次出現在洛杉磯的一座公園裡。市政府努力設法要抓牠,但牠卻消失的無影無蹤。
大約在四個月前,終於再度被人發現,而且被抓了起來。今年八月初,牠被安置在洛杉磯動物園的欄舍內。過了約一個星期後,牠又逃脫了!
動物園工作人員馬上展開獵鱷行動,追捕這隻名為「雷吉」的鱷魚。結果牠在動物園裡被發現,工作人員好不容易將牠抓了起來。
他們說,他們認為雷吉是爬過圍欄的側牆脫逃。
「雷吉是一隻很狡猾的鱷魚,」動物園工作人員傑森.雅各布說。
動物園園長約翰.路易斯說,動物園已經採取措施來防止雷吉再度逃脫。
「這隻鱷魚一直不斷地讓我們吃驚,」路易斯說:「我們會看緊牠。」(翻譯:楊鴻泰)
Rice is an essential ingredient in Taiwanese cuisine. Many foods are made of rice, adding more variety to our cooking, such as rice cake, or “gui.” Wagui is made by steaming rice flour batter in a bowl. The term “gui” refers to a type of food made from rice, while “wa” refers to a bowl. The pronunciation of “gui” in Taiwanese Hokkien is similar to the word for “nobility” in Chinese, so it is common for people to prepare various types of gui, including wagui, as offerings to the gods or ancestors,. 米是台灣重要的主食,用米製成的食品十分多元,豐富我們的飲食,如米做成的「粿」。粿的意思是米做成的糕點,碗粿是將在來米漿倒入碗中蒸熟,因而得名。粿因為音同「貴」,因此碗粿等粿食常用作供品祭拜神明和祖先。 nobility (n.) 高貴,高尚;貴族 offering (n.) 供品 While Taiwan may not be

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

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.
