Vincent van Gogh was born in Holland in 1853. His large family was very religious, and when he was young, Vincent hoped to be a priest. As he grew older, he often became very emotional and found it difficult to make friends. He worked briefly in a bookstore, sold art for a while, but the result was always the same—his friends, neighbors, and coworkers thought he was crazy.

文森•梵谷在 1853 年於荷蘭出生。他的大家庭對宗教十分虔誠，而梵谷年輕時也曾希望能當教士。當他年紀變大後，他常常變得很感情用事且覺得很難交朋友。他曾短暫地在書店工作過，也賣了藝術品一陣子，但是結果總是一樣 —— 他的朋友、鄰居和同事都覺得他瘋了。

About a third of cancer cases in the UK could be prevented if people ate healthily, exercised more and cut down on alcohol, figures indicate.

數據顯示，如果人們吃得健康、更多運動、減少酒精，英國約3分之1的癌症案例可以避免。

Data from the World Cancer Research Fund suggests that 20,000 cases of breast cancer and about 19,000 cases of bowel cancer could be stopped each year with small changes in lifestyle. In 2013, there were more than 351,000 new cases of cancer in the UK. The WCRF said 84,000 could have been prevented.

「世界癌症研究基金會（WCRF）」數據顯示，稍稍改變生活型態，可阻止2萬件乳癌案例以及約1萬9000件腸癌案例。英國2013年新增的癌症案例超過35萬1000件。WCRF說，原本可避免8萬4000件。

Head of research Dr Rachel Thompson said simple changes to diet and lifestyle could make "a huge difference" in the battle against cancer.

研究負責人湯普森表示，簡單地改變飲食與生活型態，可能可以為對抗癌症之戰帶來「重大差異」。

"Even minor adjustments, like 10 to 15 extra minutes of physical activity each day, cutting down on alcohol, or limiting your intake of high calorie foods and sugary drinks, will help decrease your cancer risk," she said.

Even 15 minutes a day of brisk walking, cycling or swimming could help older adults live longer, according to a review of past research that found any physical activity is better than none.

每天即使快走、騎單車或游泳僅15分鐘，或許都有助於年長者延年益壽，一份對過去研究的檢視分析發現，任何體能活動都要比什麼都沒有好。

For people over age 60, meeting current U.S. guidelines for moderate-to-vigorous exercise was linked to a 28 percent lower risk of dying over about 10 years, compared to being completely sedentary. But even lower levels of exercise were tied to a 22 percent reduction in mortality risk.

對年過60者，符合當前美國中等到劇烈運動指南規範的人，相較於完全不動者，約10年間的死亡率減少28%。即使是較低程度的運動，其死亡機率也會減少22%。

"When our older patients cannot do 150 minutes of moderate-intensity physical activity a week because of chronic diseases, we（the 2008 guidelines）recommend them to be as physically active as their abilities and conditions allow," said lead author Dr. David Hupin of the department of clinical and exercise physiology, University Hospital of Saint-Etienne, France.

「當年長病患因慢性病無法每週做到150分鐘中等強度的體能活動時，我們（2008年的指南）建議他們在其能力與條件許可下盡量活動，」該研究報告主要作者、法國聖埃蒂安大學附屬醫院臨床與運動生理學系的胡平博士說。

Hupin’s team looked at whether less exercise could still be beneficial. They analyzed data from past studies covering a total of 122,417 men and women between the ages of 60 and 101 in the U.S., Taiwan and Australia.

胡平的研究團隊對於少量運動是否仍有好處進行檢視。他們分析過去研究的資料，這些資料涵蓋12萬2417名年齡從60歲到101歲的美國、台灣、澳洲男性與女性。

The researchers recommend 15 minutes per day of exercise based on these results, but Hupin said adults who couldn’t even meet that goal would benefit by merely moving around more on a consistent basis. "Age is not an excuse to do no exercise," he said.

Modern PIs are less concerned about criminals and more interested in cheating spouses and corrupt investors. As a result, PIs are typically asked to follow people of interest for a brief period of time until they have collected enough evidence. Most PIs will employ a variety of methods, such as using hidden microphones and cameras, researching legal documents, and even going undercover. There have even been a few examples of foreign governments hiring PIs to chase after terrorists.

現代私人調查員對犯罪的關心度較低，而對出軌的配偶以及貪腐的投資者更感興趣。
因此，私人調查員通常都被要求跟蹤利害關係人一小段時間直到他們蒐集到足夠的證據。大多數的私人調查員會運用許多不同的方法，例如使用隱藏式麥克風以及攝影機、搜尋法律文件，甚至進行臥底行動。
甚至有一些例子是外國政府僱用私人調查員來追蹤恐怖分子。

Lenny Robinson, a Baltimore local who dressed as Batman to delight sick children, was hit by a car on Sunday, August 16. The 51-year-old Caped Crusader had stopped at the side of the road to check his car for engine trouble. His custom-made “batmobile” had been partially parked in the fast lane of the highway when a Toyota Camry slammed into Robinson’s car, sending it into his body. Robinson was pronounced dead at the scene.
For more than 10 years, Robinson visited children’s hospitals and charities to thrill sick children and educate young people about the dangers of bullying. He even changed his voice when he spoke to sound like the real Batman.

Journalists are supposed to be able to describe scenes so well with words that it feels like the people reading the articles are seeing the events in real time. Photojournalists, on the other hand, are visual storytellers. They photograph, edit, and present images in ways that tell stories. Some photojournalists work for smaller newspapers or magazines and cover local stories of interest. Others work for themselves as freelancers in dangerous parts of the world and sell their photos to various global news organizations.

新聞記者必須要能夠用文字清楚描述事件，使閱讀文章的人們彷彿親眼看見事發現場一般。另一方面，攝影記者是視覺的故事敘說者。他們拍照、編輯、展示會說故事的圖像。有些攝影記者在比較小型的報社或雜誌社工作，他們報導當地關注的新聞。其他的攝影記者在世界上的危險地區當自由工作者，他們把他們的照片賣給眾多的全球新聞機構。
