Which do you think is better, hearing a poem read out loud or reading it to yourself from a book? One group of French performers has found a new way to read poetry: through a tube.
The name of the group means "the blowers" in French. They spent a day at a subway station in Mexico reading poems to people through tubes. Most people have probably never had poetry read that way to them before!
Use your imagination to think about what would be different about having poetry read to you through a tube. Why would people want to listen to poetry that way? Why would people want to read poetry that way? Roll up a piece of paper to make your own tube and use it to say something to a friend. What's it like? (Kayleen Hartman, Staff Writer)

你認為那一種比較好：聆聽一首被人大聲朗誦的詩，還是在閱讀中自己唸詩給自己聽呢？法國一個表演團體發掘了讀詩的新方法：透過管子。
這個團體的名字在法文中意謂「吹奏人」。他們在墨西哥一處地鐵站花了一整天時間，透過管子為民眾朗誦詩詞。多數人大概從未有過那樣聽詩的經驗！
運用你的想像力，想一想若有人透過管子讀詩給你聽，會有什麼差別。人們為什麼想用這種方法聆聽詩詞？為什麼有人要這樣朗誦詩呢？捲起一張紙，自己做一根管子，再對朋友說話。這會是什麼情況？

Some 400 kilometers above the Earth’s surface, the “International Space Station” (ISS) operates as both a home and office for astronauts living and working in space. Astronauts typically stay aboard the station for up to six months and engage in groundbreaking research projects in various fields, such as biology, physics and astronomy. These projects help scientists understand life in space and contribute to advancements that benefit people on Earth. The ISS has experienced significant growth since construction began in 1998. The station’s design and assembly represent an extraordinary international collaboration among Canada, the European Union, Japan, Russia and the United States.

The UN Ocean Conference wrapped up in Nice, France on Friday last week with world leaders taking major steps toward marine protection and vowing a showdown when nations meet to negotiate rules for deep-sea mining next month. But a lack of funding pledges and the total omission of fossil fuels disappointed some observers. The summit was just the third — and largest yet — dedicated entirely to what the United Nations calls an “emergency” in the world’s oceans. The High Seas Treaty, or Global Ocean Treaty, is also known as the Agreement under the United Nations Convention on the Law
Continued from yesterday（延續自昨日） https://www.taipeitimes.com/News/lang Living on the ISS is challenging due to the absence of gravity. Astronauts must strap themselves into sleeping bags to prevent floating away while they sleep. They also spend about two hours exercising daily using specialized equipment. Despite this, microgravity can cause muscle loss, bone density reduction and cardiovascular changes. As a result, astronauts require extensive rehabilitation upon their return to Earth. In spite of these difficulties, astronauts often describe their experience on the ISS as life-changing. One of the most awe-inspiring aspects of living aboard the space station is the unparalleled view of Earth. Traveling at
