The doomsday vault 末日地窖
Mark and Kathleen were at a museum when they were asked to take part in a project.
"We're making a doomsday vault," a professor told them. "Nothing will be able to harm this vault. If the earth is destroyed, aliens will be able to look in the vault and learn about us."
"What do you want us to do?" Mark asked.
"Come back tomorrow with something to put in the vault."
Mark and Kathleen were very happy. They went home and thought about what to put in the vault.
"I'm going to donate this jade necklace," Kathleen said.
"I'm going to donate these flower seeds. Even if all the plants in the world are destroyed, the aliens will be able to have flowers," Mark said.
The next day there was a long line of animals waiting to put things in the vault. Mark and Kathleen were last in line.
"It's so exciting!" Kathleen said.
When they got to the front, Mark put the seeds in and turned away. Kathleen went to put the necklace in, but she dropped it down a crack outside the vault's door. As she bent over to pick it up, she bumped her head and fell into the vault. Nobody had seen her fall…

馬克和凱薩琳在博物館參觀的時候,有人請他們參與一個計畫。
「我們正在打造一個末日地窖,」一位教授告訴他們:「這個地窖固若金湯,假使地球毀滅,外星人將可透過此地窖了解我們。」
馬克問:「你要我們怎麼做呢?」
「你們明天帶一些東西來放在這個地窖裡。」
馬克和凱薩琳開心極了,他們回家後開始想要放什麼在地窖裡。
凱薩琳說:「我要捐出這串玉項鍊。」
馬克說:「我要捐這些花卉種子,這樣就算地球上的植物都被摧毀了,外星人還是可以種出花來。」
隔天,等著要把東西放進地窖裡的動物們排成一列長龍,馬克和凱薩琳排在隊伍的最後。
凱薩琳說:「這真是令人興奮!」
等他們排到前頭時,馬克把種子放進去就轉身離開;凱薩琳上前準備把項鍊放進去時,項鍊掉進地窖門外的一條裂縫中;當她彎腰要撿起項鍊時,她撞到頭,掉進地窖裡了。沒有人看到她掉下去… (翻譯:袁星塵)
A recent medical malpractice case involving a physician trained abroad has once again placed BoBo Doctors under public scrutiny. This incident has revived concerns about the quality of healthcare in Taiwan and highlighted ongoing debates regarding the legitimacy and impact of these doctors in the medical field.

Besides public transport and taxis, do you know any other ways to travel long distances without driving? If carpooling is what comes to your mind, you might have heard of the travel app “BlaBlaCar.” This platform connects drivers with empty seats in their cars with passengers going the same way, allowing travel costs to be shared. BlaBlaCar’s origins can be traced back to the Christmas season of 2003, when Frederic Mazzella was traveling from Paris to his family home in the French countryside. __1__ This observation gave rise to the idea of an online platform to connect drivers and
