Therapy dogs can be found in all sorts of places, such as hospitals, nursing homes, and even disaster areas. To put it simply, they are there to help people relax and feel better.

In hospitals, patients often feel better after petting the dogs and spending time with them. This can even help in the healing process.

What he thought would only take a few months ended up being a two-year project that cost him nearly ₤200,000 to produce.

Last fall, the airport set up new signs at both the P1 and P2 parking lots at
Terminal 1. These new signs show the number of available spots at the entrance of each lot so that people will save time searching the whole parking lot for a space. As part of the new system, drivers can enter their license plate number when they drive into the parking lot instead of taking a ticket. That way, they don’t have to worry about losing the ticket or spend time looking for it before they can leave the parking lot. In addition, the new machines will accept larger banknotes or EasyCards, which will make paying a lot easier. Now, parking at the Taoyuan International Airport will save travelers time and reduce the stress of trying to find a place to park.

“We must study through reading, listening, discussing, observing and thinking. We must not neglect any one of those ways of study. The trouble with most of us is that we fall down on the latter – thinking – because it’s hard work for people to think… All of the problems of the world could be settled easily if men were only willing to think.”— Thomas J. Watson, Founder of IBM

A courtroom artist’s job is to sit in court and draw images based on what they see in a trial. This includes pictures of the judge, lawyers, witnesses, and the person on trial. This is an important job because in many countries, cameras aren’t allowed in the courtroom. News channels must rely on their drawings to show what is happening in court.

英文名人名言佳句-Alan Watts, Philosopher艾倫‧華茲 (哲學家)

“No amount of anxiety makes any difference to anything that is going to happen.”

– Alan Watts, Philosopher

Many books become bestsellers or become a major part of pop culture. Few novels, however, have a direct influence on the course of history. In the 1800s, the second-biggest selling book was Uncle Tom's Cabin, written by Harriet Beecher Stowe. Not only was it popular, but many people, including President Abraham Lincoln, believed Uncle Tom's Cabin helped start the American Civil War. That means that this book eventually led to the end of slavery.

許多書籍都能成為暢銷書或是流行文化的主要部分。不過極少有小說會對歷史發展的過程產生直接的影響。十九世紀時，第二大暢銷書為哈里特•比徹•斯托所寫的《湯姆叔叔的小屋》。這本書不但受歡迎，而且包含美國前總統亞伯拉罕•林肯在內的許多人都認為《湯姆叔叔的小屋》是美國南北戰爭的導火線之一。這表示這本書終究帶來奴隸制度的終結。 

The dodo was one of the strangest-looking animals that ever lived. These large birds had a long, green beak and lived on the island of Mauritius. Unlike most birds, they could not fly.
They got the name dodo because the sailors who discovered them thought they were stupid creatures. Dodos had no natural predators, so they weren't afraid of anything that might hurt them. This made it easy for people to hunt and kill the poor birds.

First, Earthships are made of recycled materials, such as car tires filled with dirt that act as the walls.
