歡迎閱讀《週日科學版》！我們每週日都要為你介紹可以在家中進行的有趣科學實驗。你可以在《科學日誌》中 記錄自己做了哪些活動，這樣就可以將所學的紀錄下來，比較這些結果，也許還可以利用它們來設計新的實驗！先看一下《科學日誌》的點子再開始吧。展開實驗之前，記得要獲得大人許可喔！
This week we are going to explore the relationship between our senses and food, or more specifically, flavors. Make sure you wash your hands before this experiment!
What you will need:
Some different flavored candies (fruit ones work well)

A blindfold
A friend
A notepad
A pen
A glass of water
★ Blindfold your friend.
★ Ask your friend to hold her nose firmly.
★ Give your friend a piece of candy. Note the flavor.
★ Ask your friend to guess the flavor when she first tries it. Ask her to keep sucking the candy.
★ Ask her again a couple of moments later. Write down her description.
★ When she has finished, give her some water.
★ Now try giving her a different flavor.
★ Can she tell the new flavor?

本週我們要來探索我們的感官和食物間的關聯，更精準地說，就是我們的味覺。實驗開始前，你得先把雙手洗乾淨喔！
所需材料︰
一些不同口味的糖果（水果口味效果最佳）
一個眼罩
一本筆記本
一枝筆
一杯水
★ 幫你的朋友戴上眼罩。
★ 請你的朋友緊緊捏住自己的鼻子。
★ 給你朋友一顆糖，你要記下口味。
★ 她把糖放入口中後，問她這是什麼口味，並請她不斷吸含這顆糖果。
★ 過幾分鐘後，再問她一次，並記下她的描述。
★ 當她吃完後，讓她喝一點水。
★ 再給她另一種口味試試看。
★ 她能分辨出這顆糖果的口味嗎？ （翻譯：袁星塵）
The debate surrounding Taipower’s recent corporate identity reboot has gone well beyond the design community. The controversy began after Taipower replaced the familiar “Taiwan Power Company” wording — widely regarded as the calligraphy of Yu You-ren (1879-1964), former Control Yuan president and master calligrapher — with a modern logotype by designer Aaron Nieh’s team, Aaron Nieh Workshop. Taipower said the change was not a wholesale replacement of old signage, but an “optimization of its identity system,” aimed at meeting the needs of digital media, electronic bills, apps, social media graphics and various small-format applications. Existing physical markings, such as building
As bee populations around the world continue to decline at an alarming rate, scientists are developing an innovative solution: robotic bees. Recent advances at research institutions like Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in the US have produced tiny flying robots capable of performing pollination tasks similar to those of real bees. These tiny machines represent an impressive technological achievement. MIT’s latest models can hover in the air for over 1,000 seconds and perform complex movements, demonstrating the agility needed for successful pollination. The robots are designed to mimic the flight patterns of natural bees, offering potential support to agriculture
Continued from yesterday（延續自昨日） https://www.taipeitimes.com/News/lang For the most part, the idea of “Blue Monday” has been rejected as a myth. Some mental health experts also say there is a danger in labeling a certain day as the most depressing time of the entire year. Some argue that if people expect to feel sadder on the third Monday in January, this belief alone may increase their anxiety. One group that is worried about the negative effect of believing in Blue Monday is Samaritans. A mental health charity based in the UK, Samaritans is working to turn Blue Monday into “Brew Monday.” In this
A: Taiwan legalized same-sex marriage on May 24, 2019, so this week marks the seventh anniversary of that milestone. By the end of 2024, a total of 32,126 LGBT couples had tied the knot. B: How many of them got married to foreign partners? A: In 2024, there were 504 cross-border same-sex marriages. By the end of that year, there were 130 cross-strait same-sex marriages between Taiwanese and Chinese — accounting for only about 0.4 percent of the total. B: I’ve heard that a seven-year marriage brings the “seven-year itch.” I bet some couples regret their decisions now. A:
