A daring escape: part II (險境逃生II)
Mark and Kathleen were still trapped in the Science Lab for the third straight day.
While no longer in small cages, Mark and Kathleen were still locked in a dim room. An operating table in the middle of the room stood next to a table covered with pills, a syringe and scalpels.
"I've had enough of this!" Kathleen exclaimed. "Whatever it takes, I'm going to find a way out of here!"
"That won't be necessary," said Terry the tiger as he walked through the doorway into the room.
Mark fidgeted. "Why, are you going to hurt us?" he squeaked.
Terry sighed. "I was going to use Kathleen as a lab rat and test dangerous medicines on her."
"Over my dead body," Kathleen mumbled.
"I've been thinking about it," Terry said as he wiped a tear from his eye, "and I just don't have the heart to hurt anyone."
"You could have fooled me," said Kathleen.
"I'm letting you go," said Terry. "I'm sorry for the trouble I've caused."
"Not so fast," called a different voice. Terry, Mark and Kathleen looked up to see Carol the crow, the most feared animal in town. She carried a bottle marked "untested medicine" ...

馬克和凱薩琳已經被困在科學實驗室裡三天了。
雖然他們不再被困在小籠子裡，但仍被關在陰暗的室內。房間中央的手術台旁，是一個擺滿藥丸、注射器與手術刀的檯桌。
「我受不了了！」凱薩琳說︰「不管怎樣，我一定要想辦法離開這裡！」
老虎泰瑞走進房門時，說︰「不必麻煩了。」
馬克感到坐立難安。他尖聲叫著說︰「為什麼？你想傷害我們嗎？」
泰瑞嘆氣說︰「我原本是想拿凱薩琳當實驗老鼠，好測試危險藥品。」
凱薩琳喃喃地說︰「除非我死了，否則休想！」
「我一直在想，」泰瑞拭去眼角的淚滴說︰「我就是無法傷害別人。」
凱薩琳說︰「你一定是在騙我。」
「我會放你們走，」泰瑞說︰「很抱歉造成你們麻煩。」
另一個聲音傳來︰「別急！」泰瑞、馬克和凱薩琳都抬頭看著烏鴉卡洛—城裡最駭人的動物。卡洛拿著一罐標示著「未測試藥品」的瓶子‥‥‥

A: Hard rock band Guns N’ Roses is touring Taiwan tomorrow. What about pop diva Lady Gaga? B: Unfortunately, Singapore has once again exclusively secured Gaga’s concerts in Asia, just like Taylor Swift’s exclusive Asian shows last year. A: The Singaporean government reportedly paid up to US$2.2 million to secure Swift’s shows. B: And the shows did boost its economy and tourism. A: But I’m angry about this approach, so I’m not going to Gaga’s shows this time. A: 硬式搖滾天團槍與玫瑰明天即將來台，流行天后女神卡卡呢？ B: 真可惜，新加坡再度取得卡卡亞洲巡演的獨家主辦權，就像去年泰勒絲的亞洲獨家演出一樣。 A: 據報導新加坡政府付出高達220萬美元，取得泰勒絲的亞洲獨家主辦權。 B: 而她的秀也的確提振了該國的經濟和旅遊業。 A: 但我對此還是很不爽，所以不去新加坡看卡卡了！ （By Eddy Chang, Taipei Times／台北時報張迪）

Every May 1, Hawaii comes alive with Lei Day, a festival celebrating the rich culture and spirit of the islands. Initiated in 1927 by the poet Don Blanding, Lei Day began as a tribute to the Hawaiian custom of making and wearing leis. The idea was quickly adopted and officially recognized as a holiday in 1929, and leis have since become a symbol of local pride and cultural preservation. In Hawaiian culture, leis are more than decorative garlands made from flowers, shells or feathers. For Hawaiians, giving a lei is as natural as saying “aloha.” It shows love and
