Jessie Huang, who, with her film-star face, bears a remarkable resemblance to entertainer Alice Ko, and fellow students from Taipei Chengshih University of Science and Technology’s Department of Applied Foreign Languages have been doing internships at Taoyuan Airport for half a year under an industry-academy cooperation program. When faced with inquiries from foreigners, Huang can now answer in fluent English and no longer gets tongue-tied, and it only takes her a moment to solve the kinds of crisis that can suddenly come up for travelers. Huang is now certain that after graduating she will take the test to become a flight attendant and pursue her dream career.
Kuan Mei-yen, chairperson of the Department of Applied Foreign Languages, says that the university has an industry-academy cooperation program with third-party companies that work with the Taoyuan International Airport. The program requires students to assist the airport’s meet-and-greet services, guide travelers, maintain order and so on. The interns receive a monthly stipend of more than NT$30,000. The key to this work is the participants’ language ability, and they also need to have a proactive attitude. Under current arrangements, the students’ internships last for one academic year.

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.
