L068: Olympic Champion Lee Yang Becomes Taiwan's First Sports Minister Highlights 主題摘要Olympic badminton champion Lee Yang became Taiwan's youngest Cabinet minister at 30 years old.Lee jogged around the ministry building on his first day in office, covering five thousand meters in thirty minutes.The Ministry of Sports was established on National Sports Day, elevating sports from a department to a standalone government priority. Lee Yang's appointment as Taiwan's inaugural Sports Minister represents a watershed moment in the nation's athletic development. The 30-year-old badminton legend, who captured Olympic gold medals in both Tokyo 2021 and Paris 2024 alongside partner Wang Chi-lin, officially assumed leadership of the newly established Ministry of Sports on September 9, 2025. His historic swearing-in ceremony coincided with National Sports Day, creating symbolic resonance that underscores President Lai Ching-te's commitment to elevating sports within Taiwan's national priorities. 李洋獲任命為台灣首任體育部長,代表著國家體育發展的轉捩點。這位30歲的羽球傳奇人物曾與搭檔王齊麟在2021年東京奧運和2024年巴黎奧運奪得金牌,於2025年9月9日正式接掌新成立的體育部。他的歷史性宣誓就職典禮恰逢全民運動日,創造了象徵性的共鳴,彰顯賴清德政府將體育提升為國家優先事項的決心。 True to his athletic roots, Lee demonstrated remarkable leadership style from day one. Rather than confining himself to administrative duties, he laced up his running shoes and jogged 5,000 meters around the ministry building in thirty minutes. This personal commitment accompanied his signature on the ministry's first policy initiative, which encourages citizens to exercise for at least thirty minutes daily. His Facebook post declaring "National fitness starts with me" exemplifies his hands-on approach to governance, showing that policy makers should lead by example. 忠於運動員本色,李洋從第一天就展現出非凡的領導風格。他沒有局限於行政事務,而是穿上跑鞋,在三十分鐘內繞著部會大樓跑了5,000公尺。這項個人承諾伴隨著他簽署部會的首項政策倡議,鼓勵民眾每天至少運動三十分鐘。他在臉書發文宣告「全民健身從我做起」,充分體現了他以身作則的治理方式,展現政策制定者應該率先垂範。 Lee's transition from elite athlete to government minister reflects Taiwan's evolving approach to sports administration. After retiring from professional badminton in December 2024, he briefly served as an associate professor at National Taiwan Sport University before accepting this unprecedented ministerial role. His six-point policy framework emphasizes "sports for all," aiming to broaden participation beyond competitive athletics to include seniors, people with disabilities, and women across all demographics. The framework also prioritizes improving benefits and working conditions for professional athletes based on his firsthand experience. 李洋從頂尖運動員轉為政府部長,反映了台灣體育行政管理方式的演進。在2024年12月從職業羽球退役後,他曾短暫擔任國立體育大學副教授,之後接受了這個史無前例的部長職務。他的六大政策框架強調「全民運動」,旨在將參與範圍從競技體育擴大到包括長者、身障人士和各個年齡層的女性。該框架也優先改善職業運動員的福利和工作條件,運用他的第一手經驗。 The establishment of Taiwan's Ministry of Sports elevates athletic development from a subordinate department within the Ministry of Education to a standalone governmental priority. Lee pledges to balance supporting elite athletes with fostering grassroots participation, ensuring that sports accessibility extends throughout society while maintaining Taiwan's competitive edge in international competitions. His unique perspective as both former competitor and ...

Adding to the syrup squeeze, Quebec’s harvest in 2020 was the smallest in three years due to unusually warm weather. 自2019年疫情蔓延、導致人們更常在家吃飯以來,楓糖漿銷量一飛衝天。由於不尋常的溫暖氣候影響,魁北克省2020年的收成量創下3年新低,也使楓糖漿更加缺貨。 The Global Strategic Maple Syrup Reserve spans 24,805 square meters, the equivalent of five football fields, securing syrup in sterilized 170-liter barrels. 「全球策略性楓糖漿保留計畫」的儲備廠佔地2萬4805平方公尺,相當於5座足球場,楓糖漿則密封在170公升的滅菌桶中。 QMSP is also approving 7 million new taps during the next three years, a 14% increase, to bolster production. QMSP也同意在3年內增採700萬棵楓樹,約增加14%,以提升楓糖漿生產量。 Next Article Topic: To keep coronavirus out, Canada’s smallest province kept the rest of the country away 為了不讓新冠病毒進入 加拿大最小省分與全國其他地方保持距離 In the winter months, when icy conditions keep most people from traveling by sea, there are only two ways to enter Prince Edward Island: by plane or an eight-mile bridge. 在(因海面)冰凍以致大多數人無法搭船(上島)的冬季月份,只有兩種方式可以進入愛德華王子島:搭機或(開車走)8英里長的橋。 When the novel coronavirus started spreading around the world early this year, Canada’s smallest province, off the country’s eastern coast north of Nova Scotia, found itself at a geographical advantage. The island’s remoteness, paired with an aggressive isolation campaign that restricted nonessential travel and enforced two-week quarantines for those arriving in the province, paid dividends. 當今年稍早新冠病毒開始蔓延全球之際,這個位於加拿大東岸外海、新斯科舍省以北的加國最小省分,發現自己享有地理上的優勢。該島的偏僻性,再加上限制非必要旅遊以及蒞臨該省者強制檢疫2週的激進隔離活動,獲致良好效果。 By late April, as death counts were ticking upward in other parts of Canada and soaring in the United States, the province had confirmed just 27 cases of the virus — all of them linked to off-island travel. None of those patients was hospitalized, and no one died. 到了4月底,當加拿大其他地區的死亡人數向上攀升,美國的死亡人數也一飛沖天之際,該省只有27起新冠病毒確診病例─所有病例都與島外差旅有關。這些患者中無人住院,也無人死亡。Source article: https://features.ltn.com.tw/english/article/paper/1506234 ; https://features.ltn.com.tw/english/article/paper/1388474 Next Article Topic: Fly south or roost?

    Summary:
    Japan is a pioneer in cashless technology, but now it is one of the countries in the world that is lagging behind in the adoption of electronic payments. Four out of five purchases are made with cash, while 90% of the payments in Korea are digital. Japanese elders feel more comfortable to use cash, since counterfeiting is non-existent.

    In November, Japanese lawmakers giggled during a drill to practice using the disaster prevention helmets. People took to Twitter and questioned the parliament for making light of a life and death matter.

    Vocabulary and Sample Sentences:
    Life-and-death adj. – vitally important It is a life-and-death matter, we need to deal with it very seriously. I need you to take me to the hospital now, it’s a life-and-death matter.
    Unfold v.– open or spread out from a folded position / information or sequence that is revealed We would have to wait for Gavin to finish the story to understand how it unfolds. Please unfold the boxes and leave it near the trash can.
    Off-key adj – not appropriate or not having the correct pitch He was singing off-key, and it was painful for us to hear. What Peter did last week was off-key.

L064: Nepal's Gen Z Topples Government Highlights 主題摘要Nepal's Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli resigned after deadly protests killed 22 people, marking a dramatic shift in the country's political landscape.Youth-led demonstrations began over social media bans but evolved into a broader anti-corruption movement challenging Nepal's political establishment.Former Chief Justice Sushila Karki was appointed as Nepal's first female prime minister to address the crisis and restore stability. Nepal's political landscape underwent seismic changes this week as youth-led protests forced the resignation of Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli and culminated in the appointment of the country's first female leader. The unprecedented demonstrations, which began as opposition to social media restrictions, evolved into a powerful anti-corruption movement that has fundamentally transformed Nepal's governance structure and challenged decades of traditional political dominance. 尼泊爾政治版圖本週經歷天翻地覆的變化,青年主導的抗議活動迫使總理奧利(K.P. Sharma Oli)辭職,並促成該國首位女性領導人的任命。這場史無前例的示威活動最初是對社群媒體限制的反對,演變為強大的反腐運動,從根本上改變了尼泊爾的治理結構,並挑戰了數十年來的傳統政治主導地位。 The crisis began when the government banned 26 social media platforms, including WhatsApp and Facebook, citing registration requirements with Nepal's communication ministry. However, this decision ignited widespread fury among Nepal's digitally-connected youth, who viewed the ban as a deliberate attempt to suppress their voices and curtail ongoing anti-corruption campaigns. The protests quickly escalated beyond the social media issue, with demonstrators demanding systemic reforms, accountability from corrupt officials, and an end to the widespread nepotism symbolized by the viral #NepoKids hashtag that contrasted politicians' lavish lifestyles with ordinary citizens' struggles. 危機始於政府以向尼泊爾通信部註冊為由,禁用包括WhatsApp和Facebook在內的26個社群媒體平台。然而,這項決定引發數位世代青年的廣泛怒火,他們認為禁令是刻意壓制他們聲音並阻撓正在進行的反腐運動。抗議活動迅速升級,超越社群媒體議題,示威者要求制度性改革、追究貪腐官員責任,並終結以病毒式傳播的#NepoKids標籤所象徵的廣泛裙帶關係,該標籤對比了政治人物奢華生活與一般民眾的困境。 Violence erupted as thousands of Gen Z protesters clashed with police in Kathmandu and other major cities across Nepal. Security forces responded with tear gas, water cannons, and live ammunition as determined demonstrators scaled parliament walls, breached government building perimeters, and set fire to key political institutions. The confrontations resulted in at least 51 deaths and over 1,300 injuries, creating a humanitarian crisis that shocked the nation. Additionally, more than 12,500 prisoners escaped from multiple jails during the chaos, with many attempting to flee to neighboring India, creating widespread security concerns that stretched law enforcement resources thin. 當數千名Z世代抗議者在加德滿都和尼泊爾其他主要城市與警方發生衝突時,暴力事件爆發。當堅決的示威者攀爬國會圍牆、突破政府建築警戒線,並放火燒毀重要政治機構時,安全部隊以催淚瓦斯、水砲和實彈回應。衝突造成至少51人死亡、超過1300人受傷,形成震撼全國的人道危機。此外,超過12500名囚犯在混亂中從多座監獄逃脫,許多人試圖逃往鄰國印度,造成廣泛的安全疑慮,讓執法資源捉襟見肘。 In response to the escalating crisis, President Ramchandra Poudel appointed former Chief Justice Sushila Karki as interim prime minister, making her Nepal's first female head of government in the country's modern history.

Everyone knows that these high-calorie foods can lead to chronic illnesses such as heart disease and high blood pressure, but, according to a report published by Medical Xpress, a study led by the University of Queensland in Australia has found that eating too much junk food can also have an impact on teenagers’ sleep quality. 薯條、漢堡等速食及飲料很受青少年喜愛。眾所皆知這些高熱量食物會導致慢性疾病,如心臟病和高血壓等。不過,「醫療快訊」報導,澳洲昆士蘭大學帶領的一項研究發現,吃過多的垃圾食品還會影響青少年的睡眠品質。 According to the research results, teenagers who drink more than three soft drinks per day were 55 percent more likely to report sleep disturbance than those who only drink one cup per day. Males who ate fast foods on more than four days per week were 55 percent more likely to report sleep disturbance than those who ate them only once a week, while females were 49 percent more likely to do so. 根據研究結果,每天喝三杯以上飲料的青少年自稱有睡眠障礙的機率,比每天只喝一杯軟飲料的青少年高百分之五十五。每週吃四天以上速食的男性自稱有睡眠障礙的機率,比那些每週只吃一次速食的男性高百分之五十五,而女性的機率高出百分之四十九。 This global study examined unhealthy diets and stress-related sleep disturbance in high school students from 64 countries. The study found that 7.5 percent of adolescents reported having stress-related sleep disturbance, which was more common among females than males and increased with more frequent consumption of carbonated soft drinks, as did the occurrence of sleep problems. Because carbonated drinks often contain caffeine and large amounts of sugar, while fast foods are high in energy but poor in nutrients, long-term consumption can cause nutritional imbalances. 這是一項針對全球不健康飲食和與壓力有關的睡眠障礙研究,涉及來自六十四個國家的高中生。研究表明,百分之七點五的青少年自稱有壓力相關的睡眠障礙,其中女性比男性更常見,且隨著碳酸飲料的頻繁飲用而增加,睡眠障礙的比率也愈高。因為碳酸飲料通常含有咖啡因和高糖分,而快餐食品高熱量但較缺乏營養,長期攝取會營養不均衡。 These data were collected from global health surveys conducted by the WHO between 2009 and 2016, which included about 170,000 students aged 12 to 15 years from 64 low, middle and high-income countries in Southeast Asia, Africa, South America and the eastern Mediterranean. 這些數據收集自二○○九年至二○一六年世界衛生組織的全球健康調查,其中包括來自東南亞、非洲、南美部分地區和地中東海東部地區的六十四個低、中、高收入國家的約十七萬名十二至十五歲的學生。 The research team said that frequent intake of soft drinks and eating of fast foods is closely associated with sleep problems in teenagers, and that this phenomenon is particularly clear in high-income countries. The research team said that these findings are worrying because poor-quality sleep has an adverse impact on adolescent health and cognitive development. They suggested that policies should be formulated that target these unhealthy behaviors. 研究團隊表示,青少年經常喝飲料、吃速食與睡眠障礙之間關聯密切,這現象尤其在高收入國家特別明顯。研究團隊指出,這些發現令人擔憂,因為睡眠品質差會對青少年的健康和認知發展產生不利影響。他們建議應針對這些不健康的行為制定相關政策,使青少年能健康成長。 Source article: https://www.taipeitimes.com/News/lang/archives/2021/01/05/2003749938 Next Article Topic: Cognitive decline linked to ultraprocessed food, study finds Too many daily calories from ...
