見見老鼠凱薩琳和大象馬克。凱薩琳非常勇敢又喜歡冒險，但馬克的個性十分害羞，對許多事情都感到害怕。不過，朋友都喜歡黏在一塊兒，所以凱薩琳走到哪兒，馬克就會跟到哪兒。有時候，他們也會碰上非常棘手的情況...
Mark's new folding car
馬克的新折疊車
Kathleen came home one day and saw Mark in the garage standing next to a brand new car.
"Where did that come from?" Kathleen asked. "It looks like it's from the future."
"It's a special foldable car. It folds up to the size of a briefcase, so I'll never have to worry about parking again," Mark said.
"Let's go for a ride!"
Kathleen and Mark went into the city. Everyone was looking at their slick new ride.
"Getting downtown is going to be so much easier. No more buses for me," Kathleen said.
"And the car has a rechargeable battery. That way we won't do too much damage to the environment," Mark pointed out.
After driving around for a while, Mark and Kathleen decided to take a walk in the park. Mark pulled the car up to the side of the road, got out, and pushed a button. The car folded up to the size of a briefcase.
"Isn't that simply amazing?" he said to Kathleen.
But Kathleen didn't say anything back.
"Kathleen? Where did you go?"
Mark looked around. Kathleen was nowhere to be seen…(Michael Kearney, staff writer)
某天凱薩琳回家後，發現馬克在車庫裡，站在一輛新車旁邊。
「這輛車是打哪來的啊？」凱薩琳問：「它看起來好像是一部未來車喔。」
馬克回答：「這是一輛特殊的可折疊車，它折起來的大小就像一個行李箱一樣，這樣我就再也不用擔心停車的問題了。」
「那我們去兜風吧！」
凱薩琳和馬克開車進城，路上所有人都在欣賞他們這輛拉風的新車。
凱薩琳說：「這樣進城方便多了，我再也不用搭公車了。」
馬克特別指出：「而且這輛車還有可充電電池，這樣我們就不會對環境造成太大傷害了。」
兜風一陣子後，馬克和凱薩琳決定到公園去散步，馬克把車停到路邊，下車後按了一個按鈕，車子就自動折疊成一個行李箱的大小了。
馬克問凱薩琳說：「是不是很神奇啊？」
但是凱薩琳並沒有答話。
「凱薩琳，妳到哪裡去了？」
馬克四處張望，但是都看不到凱薩琳的蹤跡…

A: What types of fruit enzymes should we take to help reduce eye floaters? B: According to a study published in the “Applied Sciences” journal by Taiwanese ophthalmologist Horng Chi-ting, pineapple, papaya and fig supplements can improve symptoms. A: Pineapples are in season now, so you should munch on more of those to get rid of floaters. B: Not quite. Enzymes can be damaged by our stomach acid if we eat the fruit directly. The doctor says taking fruit enzyme capsules is better for absorption. A: Most importantly, we should reduce our use of personal electronics to prevent floaters from
Rice is essential to Japanese culture, tradition and politics. People take pride in the oval-shaped sticky Japonica grain, which is still a staple even though total consumption has fallen over the decades. But since last summer, prices have soared as supplies have fallen short of demand. The government has long paid farmers to cut back on rice acreage, and change to other crops to keep rice prices relatively high. To cope with shortfalls this year, the government has released rice reserves. But the grain has been slow to reach supermarket shelves. Anger over that was part of the reason the Agriculture Minister
