In Rotterdam, a city in southern Holland, there are 38 of the most unusual and coolest homes ever built. Called cube houses, they are exactly what the name suggests. So why are they unusual? After all, Taiwan and many other parts of the world have thousands of homes in the shape of cubes. Rotterdam's cube houses are unique because they are tilted on a 45-degree angle and placed on top of a hexagonal-shaped pylon. Each of the individual houses has been designed to look like a tree.

在荷蘭南方的城市鹿特丹，有三十八棟史上最奇特酷炫的屋子。那些屋子被叫作「立體方塊屋」，它們的外觀長得就和它們的名字所暗示的一樣。那麼它們到底奇特在哪裡呢？畢竟，台灣和世上其他許多地方也有很多立體方塊形狀的屋子。鹿特丹的立體方塊屋之所以獨特在於它們傾斜四十五度角，並位於六角形的橋塔上。每棟獨立的屋子被設計成看起來像棵樹。

The fi rst design for an escalator was made in 1859. It was Nathan Ames who invented and patented the fi rst machine in the US. He never actually made an escalator, though. In the 1890s,Jesse Reno patented a new design for a moving staircase. Surprisingly, his invention was not used for convenience Instead, it was used for excitement as a ride at the famous Coney Island amusement park in New York City.One of the early versions of the moving staircase was made of wood.

1859年，第一個電扶梯的設計問世。這是美國一位名叫納森•亞密斯的人所發明的，而且他還為它申請了專利。不過他卻從未真正打造出一部電扶梯。1890年代，傑西•雷諾為一項移動式樓梯的新設計取得專利。意外的是，他的發明並非作為便民之用。它反而被用來當作紐約市知名的康尼島遊樂園裡一項刺激的遊樂乘坐設施。早期的一種移動式樓梯是用木頭製成的。

Throughout human history, every nation on Earth has used some type of armed forces to defend, serve, or invade. The scale and size of these forces has changed from country to country, but their existence has proven to be necessary. Today, these armed forces are known as state-run militaries, and people can sign up for them to serve as soldiers. These soldiers are given the latest in high-tech weaponry to effectively protect national interests.

綜觀人類歷史，世界上的每個國家都使用了某種武裝部隊來自我防衛、服務人民或侵略他國。這些部隊的規模和大小因國家而異，但是它們的存在已經證明是必要的。現今，這些武裝部隊就是眾所周知的國家軍事單位，人民可以報名加入軍隊成為士兵。這些士兵被分配到最新的高科技武器來有效地保衛國家的利益。

To artist Luke Jerram,putting old pianos on streets around the world is a way to bring people together. His Play Me, I'm Yours project started in 2007, when he placed 15 street pianos across the city of Birmingham in the UK. The project attracted the interest of about 140,000 people in that city during a three-week period. Seeing the success of his work, Jerram later took Play Me, I'm Yours on the road in 2008, and it has been growing ever since.

對藝術家 Luke Jerram 來說，將老舊的鋼琴放置在全世界的街頭，是一個把人們凝聚在一起的方法。他的「Play Me, I'm Yours」計劃始於 2007 年時，他在英國伯明罕市裡放置了十五座街頭鋼琴。這個計劃在短短三個禮拜內就引發了十四萬人的興趣。因為 Jerram 看到他計劃如此的成功，所以之後在 2008 年時，他正式推動了「Play Me, I'm Yours」上路，從那以後該計劃日漸擴大。

Irregular sleeping patterns have been "unequivocally" shown to lead to cancer in tests on mice, a study suggests. The report, in Current Biology, lends weight to concerns about the damaging impact of shift work on health.

研究顯示，不規律的睡眠模式，在老鼠實驗中，「明確」顯示會導致癌症。刊登在「當代生物學」的這篇報告，讓人更擔心輪班工作對健康的有害影響

The researchers said women with a family risk of breast cancer should never work shifts, but cautioned that further tests in people were needed.

研究人員說，有家族乳癌風險的女性，應該永遠不要做輪班工作，但他們也警告，必須以人類進行進一步測試。

Mice prone to developing breast cancer had their body clock delayed by 12 hours every week for a year. Normally they had tumours after 50 weeks - but with regular disruption to their sleeping patterns, the tumours appeared eight weeks earlier.

老鼠的生理時鐘若在1年內每週延後12小時，較易罹患乳癌。通常牠們會在50週後出現腫瘤，但睡眠模式定期受到干擾，腫瘤會提早8週出現。

DJs at silent discos play loud music, but the songs are played through radio transmitters. These radio signals are then picked up by wireless headphones. One of the cool things about silent discos is that two or more DJs can be playing right next to each other and listeners can switch from channel to channel to find the music they like. This would be impossible with speakers because the different songs would come together in an unpleasant way.

無聲派對上的DJ把音樂放得很大聲，但歌曲卻是透過無線電發送器來播放出來。接著無線耳機會接收這些無線電訊號。無聲派對上最酷的一點就是兩個或兩個以上的DJ可以在彼此身旁播放音樂，而且聽的人也可以轉換一個又一個的頻道來找到他們喜歡的音樂。如果是用音響來播放的話根本就是不可能的，因為同時播放不同的音樂並不悅耳。
