Can you tell what these two girls are doing? They are making snow angels! If you've never played in the snow before, you might not know how to make a snow angel. First, you need to find a place where the snow is new and smooth, like the field in this picture. Then you lay down on your back in the snow and put your arms out. Next, you move your arms up and down and move your legs in and out in the snow.
When you stand up, you have to be very careful. Turn around and you will see the shape of an angel in the snow in front of you! Even though it can be hard to find snow in Taipei, you can still make angels. Just go to the beach and make them in the sand. Of course, they won't be snow angels. They'll be sand angels!

你看得出來這兩個女孩在做什麼嗎？她們在做雪天使！假如你不曾玩過雪，你可能不知道怎麼做雪天使。首先，你要找一塊剛下雪且雪質綿滑的地方，像是這張照片的空地。然後，你躺在雪上，把手臂伸展開來。接著，讓手臂上下移動，雙腿不斷打開又合上。

當你站起來時，你必須非常小心。轉過身，你會看見雪地裡有天使的形狀，出現在你眼前！雖然台北很難看到雪，你還是可以做天使。只要到海邊，在沙灘上做天使。當然，那不是雪天使，而是沙天使！

An outbreak aboard a cruise ship of a rare rodent-borne illness called hantavirus has left three passengers dead and sickened others, but global health officials say the risk to the general public remains low because the germ does not easily spread between people. “This is not the next COVID, but it is a serious infectious disease,” said Maria Van Kerkhove, director of epidemic and pandemic preparedness at the World Health Organization (WHO). “Most people will never be exposed to this.” The virus usually spreads when people inhale contaminated residue of rodent droppings. Hantaviruses have been around for centuries and are thought to
In the dense forests of Tanzania, a young researcher sat quietly among the trees, her gaze fixed on a troop of chimpanzees. It was 1960, and Jane Goodall, armed with nothing but a notebook and endless curiosity, was about to change science forever. Inspired by childhood stories like the Dr. Dolittle series, she had dreamed of Africa — and now, thanks to the encouragement of anthropologist Louis Leakey, she was there, face-to-face with the wild. What Jane discovered shocked the world. Chimpanzees weren’t mere creatures of instinct; they were individuals with emotions, families, and even the capacity for tool
