Soccer fans tend to be crazy about their team. But some of those fans cross a line and act violently.
On Feb. 2, a huge fight broke out during an Italian soccer match in Sicily. One police officer was killed in the fighting.
The Italian government has decided to take steps to keep violent fans out of Italian stadiums.

Teams will only be able to sell tickets to individuals, not groups, and suspected hooligans may be held by police even if they haven't done anything wrong yet.
Teams that do not follow the new rules will not be able to allow fans into the stadium. That means they would play games with nobody in the stadium.
That would hurt a team's morale and finances, so all teams are likely to accept the new rule quickly.
Sports Minister Giovanna Melandri also said the fan mentality must change, and opponents should not be enemies.

足球迷很容易對支持的球隊瘋狂不已。不過，有些球迷太過火了，還產生暴力行為。
二月二日，一場在義大利西西里島舉行的足球賽爆發大規模衝突，造成一名警員喪生。
義大利政府已決定採取措施，把暴力球迷擋在球場外。
球隊將只能售票給個人，不能賣給團體，警方可以扣留疑似足球流氓的人，即便他們並未犯錯。
未遵守新規定的球隊將禁止讓球迷進場。這意味他們會踢一場無人觀賞的比賽。
這會對球隊的士氣與收益造成巨大傷害，因此所有球隊大概很快就會接受新規定了。
義大利體育部長喬凡娜．梅蘭德里也說，球迷的心態必須改變，不應該把對手當敵人。

The US-Israeli war with Iran, which began on Feb. 28, has killed thousands of people, destabilized the Middle East and rocked global energy markets by effectively closing the strait. WHAT IS THE STRAIT OF HORMUZ? Lying between Oman and Iran and linking the Gulf north of it with the Gulf of Oman to the south and the Arabian Sea beyond, the strait is 33km wide at its narrowest point, with a shipping lane just 3km wide in either direction. Perhaps the world’s most important energy shipping channel, the waterway is about 167km long. Following through on an old threat, Tehran effectively closed the strait
Have you ever found yourself desperately feeding coins into a claw machine just because you’ve already spent so much trying to win that stuffed animal? Or maybe you’ve continued watching a boring movie simply because you already paid for the ticket? If so, you’ve experienced the “sunk cost fallacy.” A sunk cost refers to time, money or effort that has already been spent and cannot be recovered. This psychological trap is surprisingly common. You might keep playing a video game you no longer enjoy because you’ve invested countless hours in building your character, or maintain a toxic friendship because you’ve known

When you twist open a bottle of carbonated water, bubbles rush out with a hissing sound. This drink is simply water infused with carbon dioxide (CO2) under pressure, giving it that fizz on your tongue. But this basic description barely scratches the surface of the carbonated water family. Although all carbonated waters are bubbly, slight differences set them apart. Seltzer is just plain water with artificial CO2—no minerals, no extras. Club soda includes added minerals such as sodium bicarbonate, which creates a slightly salty flavor. This makes club soda suitable for mixing with fruit juices. Sparkling water, on the
