Bad News for 1 Cuddly Koalas

澳洲的可愛無尾熊可能將在三十年內絕種。地球 暖化、森林火災和伐木都對無尾熊族群造成傷害。現 在有些研究者害怕澳洲野外可能只剩下 43000 頭無 尾熊。如果這個數字正確，表示無尾熊數量在過去 二十一年中已經減少九成。

專家警告無尾熊恐絕種 Australia’s lovable koalas may be extinct2 within the next thirty years. Global warming, bushfires , 3 and logging have taken their toll4 on the koalas.

Lift of Beef Ban Causes Demonstrations 台灣解除美牛進口禁令引發抗議遊行 Taiwan lifted the ban on US beef imports, but this news wasn’t welcome by all. New regulations allow American beef with and without bones from cattle less than thirty months old to be brought into Taiwan. The news was met by demonstrators shouting warnings about the possibility of BSE. The new trade agreement states that both the US and Taiwan will inspect3 the meat before shipping and distribution . 4 However, this isn’t enough for some.

Groups in Taiwan are demanding more research into BSE and public education on the topic. For now, the decision to accept American beef will continue to be made by individual5 consumers6 in the supermarkets.

I tell people that I spent twenty days traveling around Vietnam by myself, they

are often surprised. They think of war and poverty. However, my trip through Vietnam

showed me the beauty and wonders1 this country offers.

I began my Vietnam adventure in Hanoi. h This northern city celebrates its 1,000th 05

anniversaryu this year, but it’s as vibrant as ever. Having had both Chinese and French rulers,2 Hanoi is a mix of Asian and French cultures. One morning, I stopped inside a brightly colored building for a delicious breakfast of French pastries.u My waiter explained3 that the bakery takes in homeless children and gives them job training and a future.

Hanoi’s Asian roots show themselves clearly in one of the city’s most visited attractionsu—
