Roosters are characterized by extreme confidence and burning ambition and you will need both of these traits in abundance this year! You can expect to meet intense competition in you personal life and your career, and if you are not at the top of your game you will find yourself coming off second best.
At work, overconfidence will be your enemy. When a promotion opportunity comes up you must pursue it with vigor. If you assume the jobs is yours, it will go to a colleague.
屬雞的人很有自信，也有強烈的企圖心，今年你很需要這兩樣特質！你在私生活和工作方面可能會遭遇非常激烈的競爭，如果沒拿到第一，至少也會是第二。
在工作上，過度自信是你的敵人。如果碰到升遷的機會，一定要秉持熱情努力爭取。如果你以為這工作非你莫屬，那它最後可能會落到別的同事手中。
Dog 狗
Years: 1946, 1958, 1970, 1982, 1994, 2006
年份：民國三十五年、四十七年、五十九年、七十一年、八十三年、
Dogs are loyal and compassionate, and are always ready with a shoulder to cry on. Unfortunately your compassion is sometimes misconstrued as nosiness, and in 2010 you will have to be on your guard against creating this impression.
屬狗的人忠誠又富同情心，總願意傾聽朋友的苦惱。可惜的是，你的同情心偶爾會被別人誤認為是好管閒事，所以二Ｏ一Ｏ年要小心不要給人這種印象。
你工作認真又可靠的特質在今年會特別受到賞識，所以在工作上可望聽到好消息。肖狗者很適合擔任警察、政治人物和科學家，所以可以留意這方面的工作機會。
Pigs 豬
Years: 1947, 1959, 1971, 1983, 1995, 2007
年份：民國三十六年、四十八年、六十年、七十二年、八十四年、九十六年
Pigs are perhaps the unhealthiest of all the signs, but 2010 could be the year when your health takes a turn for the better. Get active and eat better and you should find yourself feeling better in no time. Stay away from carbonated drinks — they will only make you feel bad.
This year will prove to be a good year for making money. Pigs are known to be attentive to detail and seldom shirk responsibility, so this could finally be the year when management takes note of your skills and gives you the promotion you deserve. If you are self-employed, expect to gain some important new customers this year.

A: Apart from the Taipei Music Center’s exhibit and concert, US pop rock band OneRepublic and rapper Doja Cat are touring Kaohsiung this weekend. B: OneRepublic is so popular that after tonight’s show at the K-Arena, they are set to return to Taiwan again in March next year. A: And Doja will also perform at the same venue on Sunday, right? B: Yup. Her collab with Blackpink’s Lisa and singer Raye for the song “Born Again” has been a huge worldwide success. A: Doja even made it on Time magazine’s “100 Most Influential People” list in 2023. She’s so cool. A: 本週末除了北流的特展和演唱會外，美國男團共和世代和饒舌歌手蜜桃貓朵佳也將來台開唱。 B: 共和世代因太受歡迎，繼今晚高雄巨蛋的演唱會後，預計明年3月即將再度來台巡演唷。 A: 朵佳本週日將在同場地開唱，對不對？
A: What show are you watching online? B: I’m watching “Fly Me to the Moon & Back” – an exhibition launched by the Taipei Music Center (TMC) to commemorate the late singer Tom Chang. A: Known for his sky-high notes, Chang is praised as one of the best singers in the 1990s. His death at the age of 31 was a major loss indeed. B: And I’m so glad that we went to the TMC’s 90s-themed concert last Friday. I finally saw the iconic “Godmother of Rock” WaWa perform live. A: This year-end show also featured singers Princess Ai, Bii, Wayne Huang, PoLin and
Just like fingerprints, your breathing patterns may serve as a definitive identifier. In a recent study, scientists have demonstrated an astonishing 96.8% accuracy in identifying individuals based on their respiratory patterns. This revelation could open up new possibilities in biometrics and personalized health monitoring. The notion of using individual breathing patterns as a distinct biological signature has long been a topic of discussion within the respiratory science community, yet a practical method for measurement remained elusive. This changed with the invention of a tiny, wearable device capable of extended recording. Researchers deployed a lightweight tube designed to fit inside

Participants with higher scores on anxiety questionnaires exhibited shorter inhalation periods and more frequent breath pauses during sleep. “We intuitively assume that how depressed or anxious you are changes the way you breathe,” says one researcher involved in the study. “But it might be the other way around.” If this proves true, then training people to adjust their breathing may offer a novel approach to managing conditions like anxiety or depression. 該項研究也揭露了呼吸模式與心理健康之間的關聯。在焦慮問卷得分較高的受試者於睡眠期間表現出的吸氣時間較為短促、呼吸中止更為頻繁。一位參與研究的學者表示：「我們直覺地認為憂鬱或焦慮的程度會改變你的呼吸方式，但有可能是反過來的情況。」如果這一假設得到證實，那麼訓練人們調整呼吸的方式，可能會成為管理焦慮或憂鬱等疾病的新穎方法。 What Did You Learn? 1. What problem did scientists previously face when trying to measure breathing patterns? 2.
