have you ever seen an animal like this? It is a stingray, and it lives on the bottom of lakes, rivers and oceans all over the world.
There are many different kinds of stingrays, but all of them have the same basic flat body shape and long tail. This is helpful for stingrays because they like to bury themselves in the sand. If you saw one, you might not notice it unless you looked carefully. It's important to be careful when you are walking in water where stingrays might live, because if you step on a stingray, it will use its tail to sting you.
The stingray in this picture is a new kind of stingray that was just discovered in Thailand. Scientists are worried that there will be no stingrays like this one left if people are not very careful about protecting the rivers in Thailand where they live. (Kayleen Hartman, Staff writer)

照片中的魟是在泰國發現的新品種，科學家擔心民眾若不小心維護泰國的河川，棲息於河裡的魟可能會消失。 （翻譯：鄭湘儀）

But while last year’s event was a celebration of the post-ChatGPT AI boom, executives this time are likely grappling with the uncertainty of the Trump administration’s effort to reshape the global trade order — disrupting a decades-old model for tech manufacturing. This year’s exhibition will of course feature the hardware required to bring artificial intelligence to life.
For many people, allergies are an all-too-familiar annoyance. The constant sneezing, itching, and watery eyes are just a few clear signs of allergies, which is a surprisingly common condition affecting millions worldwide. But what exactly triggers these reactions, and how can we cope with them? Allergies arise from a misunderstanding between our immune system and seemingly harmless substances. Under normal circumstances, the immune system acts as our body’s personal bodyguard, diligently identifying and eliminating threats like viruses and bacteria. However, in individuals with allergies, the immune system mistakenly identifies certain substances, called allergens, as invaders. This triggers a reaction, leading to
