1. Linsanity - The Taiwanese-American dream
林書豪炫風 - 台裔美籍男子的夢想成真
As the first ripples of "Linsanity" hit Asia, ethnic Chinese-American Jeremy Lin's fairytale rise has marketing men rubbing their hands with glee as they contemplate a potential candidate to fill the very large shoes left by last year's retirement of Yao Ming.
隨著「林來瘋」第一波浪潮席捲亞洲各地，這位台裔美籍球員以童話故事般的方式崛起，讓行銷人員摩拳擦掌、歡天喜地盤算著要讓這個潛力股接替去年退休的姚明所留下的廣大市場。

Horseshoe Crab
雖然鱟（馬蹄蟹）的名稱，會讓人誤以為這種生物和螃蟹有關，然而這兩者之間卻一點關係也沒有。鱟是一種節肢動物，和蜘蛛或蠍子的關係還比較親近。這種生物已經存在四十億年了，具備著簡單卻強韌的免疫系統，是以牠的血液對航太科學來說極其珍貴，能夠偵測有機體及保護太空人免於疾病傷害。目前科學界除了以鱟進行神經傳導與視覺系統的相關研究外，還廣用鱟的血液於檢測醫療用品或人體用注射品是否有細菌內毒素（endotoxin）的污染，此方法就稱為鱟試劑檢驗法。
