Qingqing: Hua Hua, is this your dog and cat? They are so cute.
Hua Hua: Yes. The dog is called Wangwang, and the cat is called Miaomiao. They are also my family.
Qingqing: Nowadays, more and more people treat their pets as family members, and it’s not just cats and dogs; there are many different kinds of living creatures.
Hua Hua: When I was little, I raised rabbits and guinea pigs, but back then it was just for fun, and I didn’t have
any emotional connection with them.
Qingqing: I have a classmate who has a turtle. Sometimes he puts the turtle in his backpack and brings it to class.
Hua Hua: That’s really interesting. But the most interesting thing I’ve heard of is keeping snakes and lizards as pets; I don’t get that at all.
Qingqing: Wow, that’s so cool. So brave. I wouldn’t dare to have snakes and lizards as roommates. Do you want to give it a try?
Hua Hua: Yeah, right. I’d rather take care of myself first, thank you.

A: They’re actually called “floaters” in English, meaning floating debris. When fibrous substances in the vitreous body inside the eyeballs increase, floaters can appear in the visual field. B: Oh my goodness. Can you get rid of them? A: According to ophthalmologist Horng Chi-ting’s research, taking the enzymes of certain fruits is likely to help reduce floaters. A: 我最近一直覺得眼前有蚊子飛來飛去，結果醫生說是「飛蚊症」。 B: 飛蚊症？好奇怪的病名。 A: 英文名稱叫「floaters」， 也就是漂浮物的意思。 因為眼球的玻璃體中纖維化物質增多，導致視野出現漂浮物。 B: 天啊！要怎麼把蚊子趕走？ A:
In Taiwan, people can use a platform to rent a power washer for a weekend or share unused garage space for someone’s storage needs.

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.
