Hi there, and welcome to a new episode of News Bites!
I'm Nancy Sun...
And I'm Paz Bueno.
In today's news:
Taiwan has a packaging problem, a boy finds a very old tooth, and Patron gets
a medal.
All that and more, coming up next.
________________________________
台灣的包裝問題
Taiwan has a Packaging Problem
The next time your parents go to the supermarket, you might want to go with
them.
When you're there, take a look at the produce (農產品) section.
There should be lots of fruits and vegetables there.
But there's also lots of something else.
Greenpeace Taiwan (綠色和平組織) says most stores that sell fruits and
vegetables use too much plastic.
They say more than 90 percent of produce sold in Taiwan are wrapped (包裝)
with plastic.
And all this is plastic we cannot use again.
It's called single-use plastic (一次性塑膠包裝)
And that's not all.
One university says Taiwan produces (製造) about 15,000,000 kilograms of
plastic waste (塑膠垃圾) in total (總共) every year.
This is from all the packaging (包裝) used not just for fruits and
vegetables, but for eggs, bottled drinks (瓶裝飲料), shampoo (洗髮精), and
detergent (清潔劑) too.
Taiwan has tried to do many things to make less trash.
We now separate our waste, so that there is regular waste, food waste, and
recyclable waste.
我們現在會做垃圾分類,分成一般垃圾、廚餘,還有回收物。
But Greenpeace says we can cut our waste even more.
It says stores can help do this if they stops using so many plastic wrappers
and plastic boxes to start with (從這裡做起).
And we can do our part too!
We can bring our own bags to stores.
We can bring our own cups when we buy drinks like bubble tea.
And we can try to stop buying bottled water when we are outside.
________________________________
小男孩找到古老的牙齒
A Boy Finds a Very Old Tooth
Do you like dinosaurs (恐龍)?
If you do, then you probably know about the megalodon (巨齒鯊).
The megalodon is a giant shark which lived about 20 million years ago.
It could grow to between 16 to 18 meters long.
And it weighed around 60,000 kilograms.
Scientists say it probably enjoyed eating whales and seals.
They also say it was the biggest shark ever.
Scientists believe the megalodon was the king of all the oceans around the
world, except the seas near Antarctica (南極洲).
The megalodon became extinct (滅絕) about three million years ago.
It is very hard to find fossils (化石) of the megalodon.
So scientists don't know what they look like.
But one boy got very lucky.
He found a megalodon tooth on a beach in England.
Six-year-old Sammy was on vacation with his family.
He said he found the 10-centimeter tooth on the beach (海邊、沙灘).
Sammy's mother said he had found other pieces of shark teeth on the beach.
But he had never seen anything as big, and as heavy as this one.
但是他從來沒有看過這麼大又這麼重的牙齒。
Sammy's parents sent pictures of the tooth to an expert (專家).
He examined (檢查) the tooth, and said the tooth belonged to a megalodon.
Sammy's treasure (寶藏) is even more important because shark teeth are not
usually found on beaches in Britain.
Sammy was very, very excited when he found out how important his discovery
(發現) really was.
He says he is now sleeping with it near his bed.
________________________________
Patron獲勳章
Patron Gets a Medal
Patron is a small, very cute brown-and-white-colored terrier (梗犬).
Before the war in Ukraine (俄烏戰爭), he was probably just like any other dog.
But now Patron and his owner are both heroes.
Patron, whose name means "ammo" (彈藥), has found more than 200 hidden bombs
since the beginning of the war.
Patron在烏克蘭語意思是彈藥,牠在戰爭開始後已經找到200多枚埋藏的炸彈。
When he's not busy working, his owner says Patron loves to play with other
dogs.
And even though he is a very active dog, he also likes to sleep.
Because of his work, Patron was awarded a special medal from Ukraine's
president, Volodymyr Zelenskyy (澤倫斯基) for helping his country.
________________________________
So, in today's News Bites:
Greenpeace Taiwan says most stores that sell fruits and vegetables use too
much plastic.
They say more than 90 percent of produce sold in Taiwan are wrapped with
plastic.
We can all do more to make less plastic garbage.

Hello everybody, and welcome to a new episode of News Bites!
I'm Paz Bueno…
And I'm Nancy Sun.
In today's news:
A Ukrainian folk tradition day in Taipei, a rhino wears a fitness tracker,
and a Paralympian wants more people to walk to school in the UK.
All that and more, coming up next.
________________________________
台北維希萬卡日提高了對烏克蘭的認識
Vyshyvanka Day in Taipei increases Ukraine awareness
Vyshyvanka Day is an international day for Ukrainian folk traditions
(烏克蘭民間傳統)。
People make and wear embroidered clothes (刺繡衣服) called vyshyvankas.
These types of clothes are one of the best known symbols (象徵) of Ukrainian
culture.
People in Taipei celebrated (慶祝) Vyshyvanka Day this year.
The celebration was held by a volunteer organization (志願者組織) called
Taiwan Stands with Ukraine.
Organizers say they hope to raise awareness of Russia's war in Ukraine.
(籌辦者表示,他們希望提高人們對俄羅斯在烏克蘭的戰爭的認識。)
They set up an outdoor picnic and market selling Ukrainian food, drinks, and
souvenirs (紀念品)。
Vyshyvanka Day is usually celebrated on the third Sunday in May with picnics,
markets, and parades(遊行)。
But this year, people in Ukraine could not celebrate it because of the
war(戰爭)。
The organizers in Taipei said this does not stop people around the world from
celebrating the day.
They said the picnic is a great opportunity to show people that Ukrainian
culture matters and that it is a beautiful culture.
The group hopes that the event can raise awareness and bring in more
donations(捐款) for Ukrainian refugees(難民)。
Visitors to the event could buy special stickers (貼紙) and make their own
motanka dolls(莫坦卡娃娃)。
Motanka dolls are a symbol for healing, protection, and family.
(莫坦卡娃娃是治愈、保護和家庭的象徵。)
________________________________
迪士尼犀牛戴健身追蹤器
A Disney rhino gets a fitness tracker
Fitness trackers are a special device (設備) that people wear to see how many
steps they take in one day.
Many people wear them to keep track (追蹤) of their steps, heart rate(心率),
and exercise.
Well, someone new is joining that group of people…
Only she isn't human: she's a 30-year-old white rhino(白犀牛)!
Her name is Helen, and she is one of the animals who lives in the savanna
(稀樹草原) at Disney World.
She wears the fitness tracker around her ankle (腳踝) so that her caretakers
can know when she is walking, running, or napping (午睡)。
They can also see which part of the man-made (人造) savanna she likes the
most.
The information will be shared with other researchers who are studying the
best way to take care of rhinos.
(收集的材料與研究人員分享讓他們了解如何照顧白犀牛。)
They can learn more about rhinos' physical fitness (身體素質) and make sure
they are healthy and happy.
There are around 27-thousand rhinos that live in the wild.
(大約有 2.7 萬頭犀牛生活在野外。)
Most of them live in national parks and reserves(國家公園和保護區.)
Some species of rhinos are critically endangered.
(一些犀牛物種極度瀕危。)
That's why it's important to learn more about these animals, so we can
protect (保護) them.

殘奧會運動員希望人們走路上學
A Paralympian wants people to walk to school
How do you travel to school?
Some people walk, while others take the bus or MRT, ride a scooter, or cycle.
Driving is also common in the UK, and it's something British Paralympian
(殘奧會運動員) Dame Sarah Storey wants to change.
She became the new Cycling and Walking Commissioner (自行車和步行專員) for
the Greater Manchester area, and she hopes parents can look for different
ways to take their children to school.
She recently visited two schools in her country to support their launch
(啟動) of the 'School Streets' project.
The project aims to reduce air pollution, limit road danger, and help
children live a healthier lifestyle by encouraging them to walk more.
(這計劃希望減少空氣污染,限制道路危險,並鼓勵兒童多走路來幫助他們更健康。)
Roads are closed during school drop-off and pick-up times, limiting the
number of cars in the area.
(學校上下學期間道路關閉,限制了汽車數量。)
She feels that having more cars near schools can make it more dangerous for
children to walk there.
Dame Sarah says making sure there are no vehicles (車輛) at the school gates
means parents will feel more safe and the children will feel more confident
(有自信 ) 。

台灣與全球的乾旱
Taiwan and the Worldwide Drought
2022 has been a very challenging year for climates all over the world, Taiwan
included.
2022年以來,世界各地的氣候造成許多困境,台灣也包括在內。
News of country-wide droughts have been heard from all over the world,
including the U.S., China, and many countries in Europe.
And at first (最開始), Taiwan began this year with plentiful rainfall
(豐沛的降雨), in the rainy season between May and June.
But by late August, the water in many of Taiwan's reservoirs (水庫) was very
low.
That's because rainfall (降雨) from July to August this year has been 60%
less than average.
Some of the reservoirs even dropped under 50% of the water storage capacity
(蓄水量).
Many reservoirs in northern Taiwan had already decided to save water, too, by
providing less water pressure (水壓) to homes.
Luckily (幸好), Typhoon Hinnamnor (颱風軒嵐諾) came just in time!
Typhoon Hinnamnor brought lots of water to reservoirs all over the country.
And through the cooperation of Taiwan's homes and water providers (水公司),
the country's water levels were finally able to recover (恢復).
Who knows how much worse things would have gotten if Typhoon Hinnamnor had
decided to bypass Taiwan?

秘密學校 協助阿富汗女性就學
Secret Schools for Afghan Women
Since the U.S. military left Afghanistan, the majority of Afghan girls
haven't been to school in over a year.
自從美軍撤離阿富汗,多數阿富汗女孩已經超過一年沒踏進任何一間教室。
The U.S. military (美軍) left Afghanistan on August 30th, 2021, after 20
years of war (戰爭).
But that also left the country to the Taliban (塔利班), who now rule
Afghanistan (在阿富汗執政).
And according to Taliban tradition, many women are not allowed to have an
education!
That means many women and girls in Afghanistan have been banned (禁止) from
going to school.
In light of so much oppression (壓制), many people started to look for their
own ways of educating young women.
One such person is Sodaba Nazhand, who started an informal school with her
friends in Kabul (喀布爾), Afghanistan's capital (首都).
Sodaba and her friends secretly teach English, math, and science to girls and
young women.
Sodaba says they want to use education as a way to protest (反抗) against the
Taliban.
She says they are teaching girls and young women to stand up for their rights
(權利).
Going to school can be a lot of hard work... but not everyone has the chance
to learn new things every day.
So try to remember how lucky you are, to be getting an education!
________________________________
維他命B到底有幾種?
How Many Kinds of 'Vitamin B' Are There?
"Vitamin B" can be an important vitamin to help people focus... but which
kind is best?
維他命B可以加強注意力,可是到底要選哪一種呢?
There are a total of 8 different kinds of vitamin B, and they can each help
with different bodily functions (生理機能).
To improve energy levels, many people take vitamin B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, and B7.
These can help with metabolism (代謝), and are also found in nuts, eggs, and
milk.
Meanwhile, vitamin B1, B3, B6, and B12 can help with protecting the nervous
system (神經系統).
These vitamins can be found in chicken, pig liver, and also most kinds of
fish.
There is also one more category of vitamin B, which helps keep red blood
cells healthy.
They are vitamins B6, B9, B12, and they are found in citrus fruits
(柑橘類水果), like oranges, grapefruit, and lemons, and also in spinach and
yogurt.
So vitamin B can be easily found in many of the foods we have for breakfast,
lunch, or dinner!
However, it's important to remember that it doesn't help to take more than
one vitamin B pill per day.
That's because our bodies can only digest and absorb (消化並吸收) a little
bit.
So before you take any vitamins, ask your parents and your doctor which ones
can help your body the most.
And remember, nothing is better than a well-balanced diet, so no matter which
vitamins you take, make sure to eat healthy food every day!

瘋狂有趣的西拉雅趣飛車
Off to the Races! At the Siraya Go Soapbox Derby
Tainan is hosting a special race.
One part of the race is just for children.
And the children must build their own "cars"!
The Siraya Go CreCar soap box derby will take place November 6th.
A soap box derby is a fun race that gets a bit crazy sometimes.
Racers must drive a "car" that they made themselves.
These "cars" do not have an engine (引擎).
And most of the time, only one person can sit in the car.
The racers drive their homemade car down a downhill race track (賽道).
This year is the ninth year the Siraya Go CreCar race has been held.
The race for adults will take place on November 6th, at the Tsou Ma Lai Farm
in Danei District.
Racers start at the top of a ramp (坡道).
They will also face many challenges.
There are jumps on the track.
And there's even a parking challenge at the end.
There's also a race for kids age 6 to 12.
That race will be held in October.
10月還有「趣味造車暖身賽」,讓6至12歲的小朋友打造無動力小車。

女騎師成立杜拜騎駱駝學校
Women Lead Dubai's First Camel Riding School
The United Arab Emirates, UAE for short, is a country in the Middle East.
阿拉伯聯合大公國是中東七個大公國組成的國家。
When you think of the Middle East, what do you see?
Tall cities, dry desert, and maybe camels (駱駝)?
Camel-riding is a big part the UAE.
People sometimes ride camels to get around, and it's a big part of UAE
culture.
But here's something that might surprise you...
The UAE just got its first school for camel-riding.
Last month, the "Arabian Desert Camel Riding Center" got its official license
(執照).
And here's another surprise...
One of the people who started the school is a woman.
The UAE has lots of traditions (傳統) for women and men.
For example, most of the time, only men ride camels.
A woman can work, but only if a male guardian (男性監護人), like her father
or husband, gives permission (同意).
This is why it's surprising that the camel-riding school was started by a
woman.
30-year-old Linda Krockenberger comes from Germany.
She moved to the UAE in 2015 for work.
Linda wanted to try riding camels.
But she couldn't find someone to teach her.
She says some said they would teach her, but only if they ride at night, in
the dark.
Some even asked her to dress like a boy.
Finally she found an Emirati man who would teach her.
52-year-old Obaid Al Falasi has worked with camels all his life.
And together Linda and Obaid decided to open a camel-riding school.
Linda是阿拉伯沙漠騎駱駝中心的共同創辦人。
And the school would teach anyone who wanted to learn.
Linda says the licensed school is the only way women can ride camels.
Otherwise (否則), women riding camels would not be acceptable (不可接受的) in
UAE culture.
Now, Linda says the school has around 30 students.
She says most of them are women.
And the women have even formed the UAE's first women's camel racing team!

一個不良的循環正在危及台灣的海洋生態
A Negative Cycle Endangers the Ocean Ecosystem off the Shore of Taiwan
Mackerel are an excellent source of nutrients for our bodies.
鯖魚是我們身體營養的極好來源。
Many fishing harbors in Yilan rely on mackerel as their source of income
(收入來源).
For example, Nan-fang-ao used to have over 50 fishing boats catching over 800
tons (公噸) of mackerel a day.
However, due to global warming (全球暖化), mackerel no longer need to migrate
into warmer waters in order to reproduce.
And ocean currents now bring less food for mackerels.
Since 2019, mackerel catches have been getting smaller and smaller.
There have been more and more reports of fishing boats bringing back less
than 1 ton of mackerel.
It's an issue that has been causing a lot of concern for the fishing industry
(漁業) in Yilan.
The Taiwan Fisheries Association has implemented some regulations to make
sure that Taiwan's fisheries are able to stay in business and provide for the
families that depend on the income from mackerel catches.
台灣水產工業同業公會實施了一些規定,確保台灣漁業能夠繼續經營,並為依賴鯖魚捕撈收入的家庭提供生活所需。
Some of these rules include banning fishing (禁止捕魚) in June to give the
fish time to grow, releasing small fish, and having fishers report their
catches when they return to the harbor.
The government and fisheries might be able to improve Taiwan's fishing
industry soon if they work together.

天才衝衝衝! 韓國天才兒童準備就讀首爾的第一志願高中
9 Year Old Korean Child Genius Goes to Top High School in Seoul
Child prodigy (天才神童) Baek Kang-hyun recently posted a picture on
Instagram of him holding an enrollment certificate to Seoul Science High
School.
Kang-hyun, who was born in 2012, was already famous when he was only a little
over 3 years old.
Kang-hyun became famous when he appeared on a TV show called "Gift Group"
after he took an IQ test and got a score of 163.
This means that he wasn't just gifted, he was a gifted person in the top
0.0001 percentile with that level of IQ.
這表示他不僅有天賦,他還是IQ智商水平在前 0.0001 個百分位的人。
Kang-hyun started elementary school in 2019 and was immediately recommended
that he jump (跳級) to fifth grade after one year.
Then he entered middle school in 2021 and then, on the 27th of August, 2022,
Kang-hyun made his now famous post on Instagram in front of the Seoul Science
High School.
He captioned the post (為照片加上標題) saying, "Baek Kang-hyun, I'm 9 years
old. See you guys next year. Take care of me."
Kang-hyun will start his senior high school education in 2023.
Everyone is looking forward to (期待) what amazing things the child prodigy
will be able to achieve.

台灣工人的一道屬光
A Ray of Hope for Wage Workers in Taiwan
Taiwan's government has increased full-time and part-time salaries for
workers.
台灣政府提高了工人的全職和兼職的工資。
It's the 7th increase in the last seven years, and it's a big deal for
everyone (是一件大事) because a lot needs to be considered before the
government could make this decision.
The biggest factors that go into evaluating whether or not base-level pay
should increase, as well as by how much, are the Consumer Price Index and the
overall growth of the economy.
評估基本工資是否應該增加以及增加多少的最大因素是消費者價格指數和經濟的整體增長。
The Consumer Price Index, or CPI is a tool used to measure inflation
(通貨膨脹).
Inflation is when a currency (貨幣) loses some of its value, so the price of
some things might go up.
After careful consideration and discussion, it was finally agreed that from
January 1st, 2023, the base-level pay for both full-time and part-time
employees will increase by 4.8-percent.
This means that the original base-level monthly salary of 25,250 NT will
increase to 26,462 NT.
And the base-level hourly wage will go up from 168 NT to 176 NT.
This marks the 7th consecutive (連續的) base-level pay increase by President
Tsai Ing-Wen's administration.
________________________________
So, in today's News Bites:
Global warming is causing fewer mackerel to reproduce around Taiwan.
It has affected the country's fishing industries.
The government and fisheries might be able to improve Taiwan's fishing
industry soon if they work together.
