You probably already know that eating healthy foods alone isn't enough to stay healthy. It's also important to get plenty of exercise. You can run, walk, ride a bike or even roller skate. Exercise isn't just important for humans, though. If animals want to keep healthy, it's important for them to exercise too!
Just like humans, healthier animals make happier animals. Many pet owners take their dogs for walks regularly. That way, they AND their dogs can get exercise. But what if you are too busy or too lazy to take your dog for a walk yourself?
Don't worry, a dog can work out without leaving its house. Doggy-sized machines, like the one in this picture, have been invented to keep dogs healthy without making owners get exercise too.

Dog owners would have to be pretty lazy to make buying this machine worth it. It costs US$200 (NT$6,450) to buy a machine like this.

你可能早就知道，要保持健康，光靠健康飲食是不夠的，大量運動也很重要。可以跑步、走路、騎腳踏車或甚至溜直排輪。不過，運動不只對人類來說重要，動物若想保持健康也不能忽略運動。
像人類一樣，愈健康的動物愈快樂。很多狗主人會固定溜狗，如此狗主人和狗都能運動，但如果你太忙，或懶得親自帶狗散步怎麼辦？
別擔心，狗狗不必出門也能健身，有人發明了照片中適用於狗狗的機器，讓狗主人不必跟著運動也能保持狗狗的身體健康。
不過，很懶的狗主人買這種機器才划算，這種機器一部要價兩百美元（新台幣六千四百五十元）。

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

Have you ever wondered how people navigate the world when they can’t see a map? For individuals with visual impairments, conventional maps are nearly impossible to use. This is where tactile maps come in — essential tools that allow people to “see” the world through touch. A tactile map is specially designed with raised lines, textures, and symbols to represent geographical features such as roads, rivers, and buildings. Users explore it with their fingertips. However, these maps are not exclusively for people with visual disabilities. They serve as valuable multisensory learning tools that enhance spatial understanding for everyone, making
