Have you ever seen an animal like this one? It is called a wombat. Wombats are from Australia, and they don't live in any other place on the earth.
Wombats live underground in tunnels that they dig. They usually sleep during the day and come out to look for food at night.
Wombats look cute when they are young, like the wombat in this picture, but when they get big, they can weigh up to 35kg. Wombats are very strong animals, and they scratch and bite animals that might try to eat them. Sometimes animals try to follow wombats into their tunnels to attack them, but a wombat's backside is very hard, so biting it from behind usually doesn't work. (Kayleen Hartman, staff writer)

你看過像這樣子的動物嗎？它叫做「袋熊」。袋熊是澳洲的動物，在世界其他地方絕對看不到。
袋熊住在自己挖掘的地下隧道裡。牠們通常在白天睡覺，晚上出外覓食。
年幼的袋熊模樣可愛，就像這張照片裡的袋熊，不過牠們長大時，體重可達三十五公斤。袋熊是非常強壯的動物，會抓傷、啃咬想獵食牠們的動物。有時候動物想跟蹤袋熊到地道內攻擊牠們，但袋熊的臀部相當堅硬，想從背後咬牠們通常一點用處也沒有。 （翻譯：賴美君）

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
