Have you ever seen a tu-gou? A tu-gou is a dog which is native to Taiwan. Tu-gous traditionally lived with Taiwan's Aborigines. Tu-gous are normally black, golden or striped a bit like a tiger.
Tu-gous are very smart, learn quickly and are very loyal. They are very agile too. They can climb in the mountains and even climb some types of trees. They can jump very high as well.
Because of this, tu-gous are very good hunters. They can catch wild animals like boars and flying squirrels and even dangerous snakes.

Because tu-gous are smart and quick learners, they can also help earthquake rescue workers.
Tu-gous can be very friendly and gentle, but as with all dogs, if you want to play with a tu-gou you should always ask the owner first.
Tu-gous make great pets because they are very loyal, but you need to have a lot of space for a tu-gou. They need to be taken for walks three times a day and need a lot of attention because they are so smart.

你看過土狗嗎？土狗是台灣土生土長的狗，原本與台灣原住民住在一起。土狗普遍都是黑色、金黃色或有點像老虎的條紋樣。
土狗很聰明，學習快速，又非常忠心。牠們也非常靈敏，可以攀爬山間，甚至還可以爬到某些種類的樹上。牠們也可以跳得很高。
正因為如此，土狗是非常好的獵犬。牠們可以捕捉野豬、飛鼠、甚至是危險毒蛇等野生動物。
由於土狗聰明、學習又快，也可以幫助地震救難人員。
土狗可能非常溫和友善，不過就像所有狗類一樣，假如你想與土狗玩耍，你都應該先詢問主人。
土狗忠心耿耿，很適合當寵物，不過你要給牠很多空間。牠們一天必須出去散步三次，由於牠們如此聰明，需要許多關注。 （翻譯：賴美君）
Undersea cables are conductors wrapped in insulating materials and laid on the seabed. Their main functions are telecommunications or power transmission. The core of the undersea cables used for Internet signals is optical fiber, using light to transmit Internet signals. Taiwan’s communications are currently handled by 10 domestic undersea cables and 14 international undersea cables. About 99 percent of Taiwan’s Internet bandwidth relies on undersea cables, making them Taiwan’s “digital lifeline.” The demands on the cables’ bandwidth are only set to increase with the development of artificial intelligence (AI), which relies on the data fed into it. Today, data is
Recent events in Taiwan have highlighted the contentious nature of “priority seating” on public transportation. Incidents, such as passengers experiencing emotional distress after being compelled to give up their seats and elderly individuals attacking others after being refused a seat, have prompted a national reassessment of this policy. Some voices in Taiwan now advocate for abolishing priority seats to prevent such conflicts. This issue is not unique to Taiwan. In South Korea, where respect for the elderly is deeply ingrained, priority seating has led to similar confrontations. Younger passengers often face accusations of disrespect if they do not yield seats. In
