families clean the graves and put candles, flowers, drinks, and food on the graves. Then they remember
the dead by sharing stories of their lives. For the children in Mexico, the Day of the Dead is a happy
holiday. They celebrate it by dancing and eating candy in the shape of a skull. It is a way for children to
learn the circle of life and not to be scared of death.

Moscow Attacks Ukraine 烏俄戰爭
Russia started attacking its neighbor at the end of February 2022.
The attack is happening by air, land, and sea from many different
directions. In Kyiv, people could hear gunfire and bombs exploding.
Russia’s president, Vladimir Putin, told other countries not to get
involved in what he calls a “special operation.” In fact, Putin said
that he doesn’t think that Russia’s acts are part of a war. Putin believes
that he is helping Ukrainian people. He warned other countries that
they will be punished if they help Ukraine.
Ukraine’s president, Voldymyr Zelensky, asked all Ukrainians to help protect the country. Not only
will Ukrainian soldiers fight, but also normal Ukrainians such as teachers and office workers. President
Zelensky asked other countries to help, saying that “if you don’t help us now, tomorrow the war will
knock on your door.”
The United States and other Western countries quickly responded. President Joe Biden of America
said that the war is Putin’s fault. Furthermore, he said that he will sanction Russian businesses. For
example, the USA will no longer buy some products from Russia such as oil nor sell other American
products such as computer chips. Some Russian banks have also been stopped from working in the rest
of the world.
The rest of the world has responded angrily to what is happening in Ukraine. On March 2, the
United Nations (UN) held a vote about the Russian war in Ukraine. Out of the 193 UN countries, 141
voted against Russia. What’s more, people around the world are protesting. From Australia to Taiwan,
people took to the streets to show how unhappy they are. But the question is: will Putin listen?

John took a trip to America from Taiwan. He tried to break the ice with
an American he met at a bus station by saying "hi." They became friendly
with each other, and then something caught John's eye. The man was carrying
something. Could it be a gun? John had heard that many Americans own
guns. All of a sudden, John was silent. He felt his heart beating faster, and
sweat was running down his face.
"Hey, what's up?" his new friend asked with concern in his voice. At
first, John was too afraid to say anything but then he decided to find out for himself what he had seen.
"Sorry, I just saw something there in your pocket. Was that a gun?"
The man laughed and said, "Not every American is a gunman! Look! It is this. " The man took
something out of his pocket. John was even more surprised and said, “this is a rabbit's foot!” The man
replied, "You bet! Some American believe in the magic power of the rabbit's foot. It can bring us good
luck!"
John learned more about other American superstitions as his friend explained. For example, you can
knock on wood when you feel you have said something very wrong which might bring bad luck. You can
also take some salt and throw it over your left shoulder. People believe this can drive away bad luck or
evil spirits. The most common superstition must be Friday the 13th, which is believed to be a day when
bad things could happen.
At the end of their conversation, John's new friend said "break a leg" to John to wish him good luck
during his stay in the United States. This time John did not feel surprised because he knew it must be
another interesting superstition. [朗文]

Cockroaches
The famous song "La Cucaracha (the cockroach)" is liked by people around the world. It's a story
about a cockroach that lost its legs. Listening to the song makes people happy, but that is not the first
thing that comes to mind when speaking of cockroaches. The first thing most people think about is
disease. They think of the germs that cockroaches carry. You might get sick if you eat food that has
been touched by cockroaches. You wish you could kill them all when you see one in your house.
However, there are some interesting facts about cockroaches. You may think of them in a different
way after reading these. A cockroach can live for up to a week without its head. It dies because it can't
drink water. Also, cockroaches can run up to three miles an hour. What's more surprising, a
one-day-old baby cockroach can run almost as fast as its parents. Still want to get them out of your
place? Actually, we're living in their places. The cockroach family has been living on the Earth for
more than 280 million years. They're one of the oldest insects on the Earth. They have longer history
than humans. Maybe we are the ones that should move!
