Home at last 終於到家了
As Mark walked in through his front door for the first time in days, he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Am I ever glad to be back from Japan," he said. "It was just one crazy adventure after another there."
"It was a little crazy, but I still had fun," Kathleen responded while setting her backpack down on Mark's sofa. "And I'm sure you did too."
"No doubt, but I'm still happy to be here," Mark replied. "Would you like anything to drink?"
"I'm not sure," said Kathleen. "Do you have any milk?"
"Sure do," Mark replied as he got the milk out of the kitchen.
While Kathleen was drinking her milk, she noticed a small black spot on the ceiling. "That's funny," Kathleen mumbled. "That spot seems to be getting bigger."
Sure enough, the small black spot soon became a real hole. The hole got larger and larger. Parts of the ceiling fell into the kitchen.
"Mark, your roof is falling in!" Kathleen cried as she pushed Mark out of the way of the falling chunks of ceiling.
"Oh no!" cried Mark while he and Kathleen ran out of the kitchen. "What are we going to do now?" (jason cox, staff writer)
經過好幾天，馬克終於首度走進家門，他鬆了一口氣。
「我很高興從日本返家，」他說︰「這不過是日本行後的另一次瘋狂冒險。」
「有點瘋狂，但我還是玩很開心，」凱薩琳把背包放在馬克的沙發上說︰「我想你一定也是。」
「沒錯，但我還是很高興回到家了，」馬克回答︰「你想喝點東西嗎？」
「我不知道，」凱薩琳說︰「你有牛奶嗎？」
馬克從廚房拿出牛奶說︰「當然有。」
凱薩琳喝牛奶時，注意到天花板有一個小黑點。「好好玩，」凱薩琳說︰「這個黑點好像愈來愈大了。」
沒錯，那個黑點很快就變成一個洞，洞口愈來愈大。廚房的幾塊天花板掉了下來。
「馬克，你的屋頂塌下來了！」凱薩琳一邊把馬克推離天花板掉落的地方，一邊大聲喊著。
「噢，不！」馬克和凱薩琳衝出廚房時，馬克大聲喊叫︰「我們該怎麼辦？」 （翻譯：賴美君）
When people talk about fast delivery or logistics, most assume these are modern inventions. However, the need to convey messages and ship goods efficiently existed in ancient China. As early as the Shang and Zhou dynasties, the governments implemented official systems to deliver orders and military information across long distances. Later, this system, known as yizhan, reached its peak during the Tang period and remained crucial to Chinese society for centuries. The main function of a yizhan was to deploy documents and personnel quickly across vast regions. Messengers would stop at these stations to change horses or rest. Sometimes,

You’re half-asleep with your head resting on the desk during your lunch break. All of a sudden, your leg kicks violently, your head snaps up, and you’re wide awake in a split second.
