  • (7/14) Language Is 'What Makes Us Human' in New Children's Book
    AUDIO       Language Is 'What Makes Us Human' in New Children's Book           See if you know the answer to this riddle:   “I have been around for a very long time. Longer than toys, dogs, or anyone you know.   “My roots go back many centuries. Some of them even longer.”   “I can connect you to the past, the present and the future. I make you human.”   Can you guess what I am?   The answer is language.   Children’s author Victor D.O. Santos asks readers that question in his book, What Makes Us Human. Each page on the book provides a clue to the riddle’s final answer. Artist Anna Forlati illustrated the book.   The cover of What Makes Us Human.   Santos told VOA Learning English that the book is about the value of language. It is also meant to bring more attention to the world’s native languages.   Native and indigenous languages are disappearing quickly. The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) estimates that 40 percent of the world’s 7,000 languages may disappear by the year 2100.   Santos, who is also an educator and linguist, has studied indigenous languages in his native country, Brazil.   He said that his new book brings “attention to the fact that many languages are disappearing ... (and ) this linguistic heritage that we have in the world is slipping through the cracks."   The United Nations has named the years between 2022 and 2032 as the International Decade of Indigenous Languages. UNESCO says the declaration is meant to bring worldwide “attention on the critical situation of many indigenous languages.” It also says it is meant to provide more resources to protect and revitalize such languages.   Santos said UNESCO offered to partner with him and help expand the book’s reach. The book has already been licensed into 22 different languages. That includes versions in Mapundungun, a language spoken by the Mapuche people in Chile and Argentina, and into Hnähñu, a language spoken by the Otomí people in Mexico. Santos said the book might soon be published in native Hawaiian as well.   The Chilean government recently published 27,000 copies of the book for public schools, where there is a large percentage of indigenous children.   A large number of cultures and languages are represented in the book. Its final page has a drawing of people saying “hello” in many languages. There are characters saying “hello” in common languages like Arabic, English and Spanish. And indigenous languages from the Xavante people in Brazil and the Cherokee people in the United States are also included.   Another drawing has different scripts, or writing systems, hidden in trees.         One page has drawings of 12 indigenous groups around the world wearing their traditional clothing. The words to go along with the drawing note the fact that indigenous languages around the world are disappearing: “When one of me disappears, a culture may also disappear. A unique way to view and understand the world. Gone. Forever.”   Santos said his book “has an adult layer to it. It's not just for kids.”   One page has a drawing of a parent and child fleeing a conflict or war. Another person is holding a sign that says, “No War.” “I can show you love. But also hurt you,” the page reads.         Santos said he was thinking about the war in Ukraine for that page. The drawing referenced a Ukrainian reporter who interrupted a Russian state media report while holding that same sign.   “What Russia is doing to Ukraine is not just attacking their territory and killing Ukrainians, but it's denying their culture,” said Santos, whose wife is Ukrainian and children have been raised speaking the language. “They're imposing the Russian language in the Ukrainian territory.”   Santos said there are several ways to understand the page’s message.   “It's to make people aware that words have weight,” he said. “Language can be used as a weapon and as a tool. And you can do good, or you can do ill with it.”                                   __________________________________________________ Words in This Story riddle — n. a difficult question that is asked as a game and that has a surprising or funny answer author — n. a person who has written something indigenous — adj. produced, living, or existing naturally in a particular region or environment linguist — adj. a person who speaks several languages heritage — n. the traditions, achievements, beliefs, etc., that are part of the history of a group or nation — usually singular revitalize — v. to make active, healthy, or energetic again unique — adj. belonging to or connected with only one particular thing, place, or person layer — n. a covering piece of material or a part that lies over or under another reference — v. the act of referring to something or someone impose — v. to establish or create in a forceful or harmful way                                               https://learningenglish.voanews.com/a/language-is-what-makes-us-human-in-new-children-s-book/7580552.html

  • (7/11) US Librarians Fear Penalties, Prison over Book Bans
    AUDIO     US Librarians Fear Penalties, Prison over Book Bans             An illustrated edition of Margaret Atwood’s book The Handmaid’s Tale was released in 2019. The book is widely considered a classic work about the oppression of women. An illustrated version of the book would help it reach teens who struggle with words alone.   Educators in Clayton, Missouri, needed little debate before deciding to keep copies of the book in high school libraries.   But Missouri legislators passed a law in 2022 punishing librarians with fines and possible imprisonment for permitting sexually explicit materials on bookshelves. The school system reconsidered the new Atwood edition and later removed it from libraries.   Across the country, book bans and attempted book bans are becoming more common. Public and school-based libraries have seen a rise in complaints from community members and conservative activists.   Now, some lawmakers are considering adding new threats: legal action, high fines, and even imprisonment for distributing books that some consider to be obscene or inappropriate. Obscene means related to sex in an offensive way.   No librarian or educator has been jailed yet. But the possibility of punishment has led to more self-censorship.   Already this year, lawmakers in more than 15 states have introduced bills to place severe penalties on libraries or librarians.   Utah passed legislation in March that empowers the state’s Attorney General to enforce a new system that can remove “sensitive” books from schools.   In Idaho, lawmakers are considering a bill that empowers local prosecutors to bring legal action against public and school libraries if they do not keep “harmful” materials away from children.   Deborah Caldwell-Stone is director of the American Library Association's Office for Intellectual Freedom. She said, “The laws are designed to limit or remove legal protections that libraries have had for decades.”         Since the early 1960s, places like schools, libraries and museums have largely been safe from costly lawsuits or criminal charges. Educators, librarians and other workers who give out materials to children have also been safe.   These protections began appearing in states as American lawmakers and others debated standards surrounding obscenity. The term was defined by the U.S. Supreme Court in 1973.   The high court justices found that the First Amendment does not automatically protect obscene materials. For something to be “obscene,” it must meet three requirements. One requirement is that the work must lack “serious literary, artistic, political, or scientific value.”   Over time, almost every American state created protections for educators, librarians and museum officials. This prevented “prosecutions of teachers over health and sexuality curriculum, art, theater, and difficult subjects in English classes,” says a 2023 report from EveryLibrary. The group, a national political action committee, opposes censorship.   But last year, Arkansas and Indiana targeted educators and librarians with criminalization laws. And the state of Tennessee criminalized publishers that provide “obscene” materials to public schools.   Indiana lawmakers took away “educational purposes” as a defense for school librarians and educators charged with giving minors “obscene” or “harmful” material. Doing so are crimes punishable by up two and half years in jail and $10,000 in fines. The law requires public lists of what is in each school library. It also requires libraries to set up a system to respond to complaints about the available materials.   Indiana’s law took effect January 1.   Diane Rogers is a school librarian who serves as president of the Indiana Library Federation. She said of the new law, “It’s putting fear into some people. It’s very scary.”   She added that teachers who face charges because of the new law could lose their right to teach, even if they are found innocent.                                   _______________________________________________ Words in This Story illustrate — v. to explain or decorate a story, book, etc., with pictures explicit — adj. showing or referring very openly to nudity, violence, or sexual activity inappropriate — adj. not right or suited for some purpose or situation censor — v. to examine books, movies, letters, etc., in order to remove things that are considered to be offensive, immoral, harmful to society, etc. introduce — v. to present for discussion or consideration lawsuit — n. a process by which a court of law makes a decision to end a disagreement between people or organizations automatic — adj. always happening because of a rule, law, previous agreement, etc. curriculum — n. the courses that are taught by a school, college, etc.                                             https://learningenglish.voanews.com/a/us-librarians-fear-penalties-prison-over-book-bans/7565844.html

  • (7/10) Students Learn AI to Prepare for Hospitality Careers
    AUDIO       Students Learn AI to Prepare for Hospitality Careers             Artificial Intelligence, or AI, is making its way into many parts of our lives. It can choose a coffee blend, or clothing and even check fields of tulips for sick flowers.   So it makes sense that AI is being used in the study of hospitality, says University of Florida professor Rachel J.C. Fu. Hospitality is a term to describe businesses like hotels, restaurants, tourism and event planning.   Fu said some of the newest tools permit students to practice real-life situations they might find while working at a hotel, a restaurant or an event. And Chris Anderson, a business professor at Cornell University, says AI tools are already helping hotels with marketing and dealing with customers.   Get experience with AI as soon as possible   Fu’s recent book Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning and Robot Applications in Hospitality Businesses looks at the future of hospitality in the time of artificial intelligence. Fu says business students should be familiar with AI programming tools if they want a career in hotel or restaurant management.   Fu told VOA you can already see AI and robots being used in the hospitality business “quite a lot.” For example, airlines use AI to deal with customer service and airports use AI to manage cleaning work.   AI can also be used to help sales.         Fu said a robot followed her during a 2015 visit to a museum in her hometown in Taiwan. At the end of her visit, the robot told her about things that she could purchase at the gift shop. It also told her about other parts of the museum she might like to visit.   The use of robots increased during the COVID-19 pandemic. They can do jobs that people who are worried about getting sick do not want. One example, Fu noted, is that robots are starting to be used to deliver food from hotel kitchens to people staying in a room.   “All you need to do is use your iPhone to scan and pick up your food,” she said.   AI is already working where you can’t see it   Anderson is a professor at the SC Johnson College of Business at Cornell. He centers his work on helping hospitality businesses such as hotels and rental car companies choose the right prices for their rooms and cars.   He said most hotels already permit guests to use an app to check-in and enter their rooms. At some point, airline passengers may be able to check in and board their plane with facial recognition.   Although the technology seems complex, Anderson said the most important skill for a student is “a desire to learn.” In an email to VOA Learning English, he added, “People in these roles need to be flexible, take on new projects and learn new skills.”   AI experience separates job candidates   Anderson said students in technology or data study programs should consider working for hospitality companies. “Digital marketing, distribution, and revenue management are very data and technology rich,” he said. And large hospitality businesses need those skills.         Fu added that when it comes to making hiring decisions, if a manager is considering two qualified candidates, but one has experience with AI, “that person will be really valuable to the company.”         "Human beings can only be replaced by another human being when that person knows how to utilize AI."   Fu said one of the most important jobs in hospitality is called “front of the house.” That is the person who connects with customers when they arrive at a hotel or restaurant.   Now, however, robots will be doing some of that work. But, she noted, humans should not be worried about losing their jobs to robots, because humans can use their creativity to “move the industry and visitors’ experiences to the next level.”   Eventually, artificial intelligence will be used to help a hotel or restaurant greet a visitor. If they permit their data to be shared, a hotel might know the visitor’s favorite meal or drink and have it ready when they arrive.   Business and marketing students still ‘naïve’   Carlie Malone recently finished her studies in hospitality management at the University of Arkansas. She is now planning to study for an advanced degree in event management at New York University.   For her final research paper, Malone talked with nine top hotel business managers about AI. Malone said most businesses use AI in ways customers cannot see, such as looking at spreadsheets and making business plan suggestions.   She said the topic of AI came up in her classes, but not many students seemed to be interested in it.   "From what I could tell from my other classmates, honestly, if there were 25 kids in my class, only probably four of us are talking about AI, compared to the rest. A lot of people are still naive to the topic. I guess is the best way to put it.”   At the University of Florida, there is an Artificial Intelligence and Data Analytics program for hospitality and event management. It requires students to take three classes covering the use of artificial intelligence and data collection in tourism and hospitality.   Other universities have similar classes, and there are even short-term studies for those already working in hospitality.   At Cornell, Anderson teaches a class that takes one weekend. It is aimed at those who already working in the hospitality business and helps them see how AI can be used to make their jobs easier.   Wide open future   Anderson notes that large hotel groups are only just beginning to use AI, so “there are lots of opportunities as firms look to not get too far behind, too early.”         Both Fu and Anderson say this provides an opportunity for international students in the U.S. to gain experience with hospitality companies during work programs or optional practical training.   “This is a global business,” Fu said, noting that companies like Marriott, Hilton and Hyatt have hotels around the world.   Anderson suggested some young people can even gain experience at an international hotel in their home country and “develop brand and industry-specific knowledge and use that to transition to the U.S.”                                     ____________________________________________________   Words in This Story tourism –n. the business of providing hotels, restaurants, entertainment, etc., for people who are traveling customer –n. a person who purchases something from a business management –n. the people who direct or run a business scan –v. to use a device to read information from another screen, paper, etc. flexible –adj. able to adjust to new situations distribution –n. moving items around for a business based on its needs revenue –n. the money earned by a business advanced –adj. higher than the usual level naive –adj. unaware, innocent firm –n. another word for a business or organization global –adj. having to do with the world, or describing something that is worldwide brand –n. a company name or product name that is well known, Disney or Nestle for example transition –v. to move or change                                             https://learningenglish.voanews.com/a/students-learn-ai-to-prepare-for-hospitality-careers/7604858.html

  • [7/18]东西问丨河村建夫：日中青少年如何以棋会友？
              中新社东京7月8日电 题：日中青少年如何以棋会友？   　　——专访日本前内阁官房长官、日中友好交流城市青少年围棋交流大会委员会会长河村建夫 　　中新社记者 朱晨曦 　 　围棋是中日文化交流的重要纽带。围棋相传起源于约4000年前的中国，遣唐使吉备真备将围棋带到日本，逐渐受到日本社会各阶层的广泛喜爱。奈良正仓院保存着圣武天皇使用过的三块围棋棋盘和两组围棋棋子，诉说着中日文化交流的古老记忆。   　　围棋作为中日两国共通的独特文化，曾在两国外交舞台上大放异彩，留下一段“围棋外交”的佳话。在促进两国民间文化交流和青少年交往上，围棋能发挥怎样的作用？如何在国际交往中发挥围棋的智慧？近日，中新社“东西问”就此专访日本前内阁官房长官、前文部科学大臣、日中友好交流城市青少年围棋交流大会委员会会长河村建夫。   　　现将访谈实录摘要如下：   　　中新社记者：围棋在推动中日邦交正常化及之后两国关系发展中发挥了什么作用？   　　河村建夫：1959年10月，以松村谦三为首的日本自民党众议员代表团访华。松村谦三和时任中国国务院副总理陈毅同为围棋爱好者，二人一见如故，相约两国积极开展围棋交流。在他们共同推动下，由濑越宪作担任团长的日本棋手代表团于1960年实现首次访华，在北京、上海、杭州与中国棋手对弈，开启了日中围棋交流新篇章。中国棋手代表团于1962年进行回访。1964年，29名日本著名围棋棋手呼吁800万日本围棋爱好者参与日中邦交正常化签名活动。日中邦交正常化后，围棋作为民间交流的桥梁率先发挥了积极作用。从1984年起，日中围棋擂台赛开始举办，两国围棋交流愈发活跃。当时在擂台赛中获胜的著名棋手，如中国的聂卫平、马晓春、曹大元以及日本的小林光一、大竹英雄等成为家喻户晓的明星。   2024年8月24日，第二届中日友好城市青少年围棋交流大会在东京举行。图为河村建夫致辞。受访者供图   　　中新社记者：您目前担任日中友好交流城市青少年围棋交流大会委员会会长，并在近年主办多项青少年围棋交流比赛。您认为围棋在青少年交流中能发挥怎样的作用？   　　河村建夫：围棋是日中两国共同的传统棋艺，是促进两国民间文化交流和青少年交往的重要纽带。1979年，中国少年围棋代表团访日，成为日中青少年以棋会友的典范。学围棋可以锻炼思维，开发智力，培养人的观察力与判断力。下围棋需要有长远的眼光和广阔的视野，从全局着眼，不放过每一处细节，因为胜负往往取决于细微之处。对弈过程让人感到充实和愉快，这样的弈趣很适合开展日中友好交流。   　　举办日中友好交流城市青少年围棋交流大会的初衷，是为进一步推进日中各友城的友好关系，增强两国地方政府、文化体育交流，加强两国民间特别是青少年之间的相互理解和友好感情。2023年8月，为纪念《中日和平友好条约》签订45周年，我们在东京举办了第一届日中友好城市青少年围棋交流大会，吸引了来自日中40多个城市的500多名青少年及家长到场参加。2024年8月，为纪念东京和北京结好45周年，大阪和上海结好50周年，我们又分别在东京和大阪举办了比赛，希望能面向未来深化两对友城的友好情谊，共有来自日中两国各地的300多名青少年围棋选手参加。   　　当前两国虽然已经有不少专业围棋赛事，但专门面向青少年举办交流赛，让青少年感受到围棋的魅力依然很重要。这些交流赛今后应该持续推进。围棋可以帮助青少年锻炼思考能力，培养大局观。围棋也称为“手谈”，其中蕴涵着深邃的哲理和智慧。日中小棋手们虽然语言不通，但坐在棋盘前面对面，通过棋子实现了心与心的交流，加深了彼此理解。   　　我们还特意为输棋最多的小选手颁发“博爱奖”，为比赛中和棋最多的小选手颁发“贵和奖”。希望日中两国有越来越多的年轻人加入围棋交流，通过各种交流比赛切磋棋艺，以棋会友。   2024年8月24日，第二届中日友好城市青少年围棋交流大会在东京举行。图为中日小获奖选手交换礼物。受访者供图   　　中新社记者：美国前国务卿基辛格曾以围棋与国际象棋的区别类比东西方思维的差异。您认为在处理国际关系上，应当如何发挥围棋的智慧？   　　河村建夫：当今世界动荡不安，犹如“长安棋局”。美国的关税政策是全球关注的焦点之一。美国挥舞“关税大棒”的做法过于以自我为中心，缺乏大局观。这不仅给他国带来负面影响，也给美国自身造成很多问题。我们应多站在对方立场上思考问题，以开阔的视野来推动问题的解决。围棋中宽容的精神值得我们借鉴。   2024年8月24日，第二届中日友好城市青少年围棋交流大会在东京举行。图为中日小选手对弈。受访者供图   　　中新社记者：上世纪80年代中日两国知名演员主演的电影《一盘没有下完的棋》，描述中日棋手在战争中的悲欢离合，反映两国人民反对侵略战争、坚持和平友好的心声。今年是日本宣布无条件投降80周年，您认为应如何通过围棋交流激发中日民间友好力量的活力？   　　河村建夫：日中两国有着2000多年交往历史，是搬不走的邻居。围棋是两国民众的共同爱好，也是互相交流的一种特殊语言。日中两国民众尤其是青少年坐在一起下棋，以棋会友，可以拉近两国关系，创造友好交流的氛围。青少年是民间交流的基础，因此在发展日中关系上，举办青少年围棋交流比赛十分有意义。我们将继续在今年8月举办第三届日中友好城市青少年围棋交流大会，目前活动正在筹备当中。今后将继续以围棋为媒加强友好交流，为两国关系改善发展做出更多积极努力。(完)   　　受访者简介：   河村建夫接受中新社“东西问”专访。 中新社记者 朱晨曦 摄   　　河村建夫，1942年出生于日本山口县，1967年毕业于庆应义塾大学商学部，日本知名政治家。曾任日本自民党选举对策委员长、内阁官房长官、文部科学大臣，现任日中友好文化交流促进协会会长、日中友好交流城市青少年围棋交流大会委员会会长。         https://www.chinanews.com.cn/gn/2025/07-08/10444586.shtml

  • [7/17]带来哪些利好？北京、广州以地方立法形式管好电动自行车
                ※ mp3 파일 참고 :   "LINK"  링크 클릭해주시면  mp3 포함되어 있습니다 :)     此次修订是对2018年制定实施的《北京市非机动车管理条例》作进一步修改完善，主要修改内容包括：强化电动自行车及其配件的销售管理制度，完善电动自行车产品目录制度，鼓励在北京销售小型化、轻便化的电动自行车。健全完善非机动车登记管理，设定电动自行车行驶证、号牌十年有效期。完善非机动车通行安全规定，明确驾乘电动自行车应当佩戴乘员头盔等。   《征求意见稿》第二十四条明确要求，驾驶、乘坐电动自行车应当规范佩戴符合国家标准并且经过强制性产品认证的乘员头盔。多位市民表示，此前对戴头盔没有硬性要求，尤其在夏天，很多人都不佩戴，对个人而言，留下了安全隐患。   北京骑电动自行车未佩戴头盔情况（总台中国之声记者 李杨 摄）   刘先生表示：“没有强制要求，夏天基本上都不戴了。出于安全考虑，我一直都戴头盔。” 王女士表示：“不戴头盔肯定有风险。我自己平时骑车要带孩子，没有破解限速，但也是全副武装。因为有时候自己注意了，还得担心别人会不会对你造成影响，我觉得合理佩戴护具是有必要的。”   同时，此次修订还完善了非机动车通行安全规定。采访中有市民提到，骑电动自行车很多人会抱着侥幸不被处罚的心理，违反交规的行为非常普遍。   孙女士说：“逆行、闯红灯，肯定会不安全。有的时候看到有人过去了，以为是绿灯，然后一看不是又倒回来了，挺危险的。”   在清华大学交通研究所副所长杨新苗看来，违反交规的行为很可能产生“羊群效应”。 “因为在道路交通安全法和非机动车管理条例里，关于非机动车骑行管理的规则是比较粗的，所以说大量的这种违反交规的行为，的的确确是个从众效应，因为时间长了大家也都这么做了。”杨新苗说。   杨新苗认为，这次整合散见于其他法律法规中的非机动车通行规则，方便市民学习掌握，结合北京主要路口设备年底前具备电动自行车违法识别取证能力后，希望未来交通秩序能有改变。   强调安全是此次条例修订中的重点原则，其中，第十一条提出，北京市对超过生产日期五年的电动自行车电池进行安全性评估，未通过安全性评估的，应当停止使用或者更换。杨新苗表示，这项修改很及时，也很有必要。   杨新苗详细说道：“关于电池寿命，日本助力自行车电池，有个专门的充电底座，可以检查寿命和循环寿命，比如它的充电量，原来是5安时的，现在只能做到4.5安时，可能要退出了，这个设计做得很好。我觉得现在在法规里提出这些东西，代表着技术的进步。”   此次修订还明确，电动自行车行驶证、号牌有效期为十年。有效期届满后不得上道路行驶。广州市电动自行车行业协会执行会长黄焕杰解释，影响电动自行车使用寿命的因素，主要集中在电动自行车的“三大件”：电机、电池和车架结构，十年主要是车架的寿命。   黄焕杰表示：“从行业统计的消费习惯来说，一般消费者在3到5年之间大概率会换车。电动车的寿命主要是看整车，电池又有独立的寿命，因为平时电池是随时可以售后更换的，这个没有绝对值。”   针对社会关注度较高的快递、外卖行业电动自行车管理问题，《征求意见稿》也提出了多项详细的规定。《征求意见稿》提出，对用于互联网租赁以及快递、外卖等服务活动的电动自行车核发专用号牌。   一位外卖员表达这样的顾虑：“电动自行车和外卖分别弄牌照的话，有些小区管控比较严格，可能对我们配送时效有影响，到时候肯定不能超速了，号牌管控了，我们肯定得更规范，具体影响还得观察。”   广州骑电动自行车佩戴头盔情况（陈惠婷 摄）   广州交警近日正式印发《广州市专用号牌电动自行车管理办法》（以下简称《办法》）。《办法》明确，公安机关交通管理部门对广州市多类民生服务和公共管理单位的电动自行车核发专用号牌，如外卖、快递、邮政、环卫清洁等相关行业。   《办法》自2025年9月1日起施行。公安机关交通管理部门将依法处理通过交通技术监控记录的专用号牌电动自行车道路交通安全违法行为。   黄焕杰认为，新的专用号牌管理办法，主要是对广州市7个民生行业单位的电动自行车做出和民用车号牌的样式区别，驾驶信息接入管理系统，依法处理相关违法行为。   “对这种专用号牌，广州市会建立一套即时配送行业管理的信息系统，系统会结合车辆的GPS跟北斗定位相关技术的数据互通，能有效地监管车辆的超速、逆行、闯红灯等一些违章。”黄焕杰说。   广州骑电动自行车佩戴头盔情况（陈惠婷 摄）   除了此次专门核发电动自行车专用号牌，去年12月30日，广州立法管理电动自行车。对电动自行车非法改装、违法通行、违规停放充电等突出问题进行了刚性要求。黄焕杰表示，经过半年时间，骑行者佩戴头盔的比例明显增加。   “消费者预约登记的时候，要观看教育视频，里面有很多不戴头盔的危险案例，而且看视频的累计时长要到两个小时，才能预约到上牌。再叠加路面交警执法，目前在广州如果不佩戴头盔，会给予警告或50元以上200元以下的罚款，现在佩戴头盔出行的明显增加了，比例超过了90%。”   广州市还对非法改装、加装、拼装电动自行车等乱象进行了刚性规定。黄焕杰表示，当地一直在持续推进溯源追查机制，车架、蓄电池和充电器都有赋码溯源的要求。   “在生产时会获取了一个唯一性的身份标识，销售时，消费者也很容易通过扫码的方式辨别这个车的核心部件是不是属于原装部件。没有溯源码的电动车是不允许在广州市场销售的。在上牌登记时，也需要这三个码绑定，才能给上牌登记，如果要改装，配件拿不到这个码。交警在执法时也可以拿手机扫车上的二维码，调取它的原厂数据，比对有没有做过一些大的改装，或者是改变了车辆的配置。”   无论是北京、还是广州，越来越多的城市正在以地方立法的形式，为倡导市民绿色出行提供更强有力的法治保障。       https://china.cnr.cn/gdgg/20250629/t20250629_527234840.shtml

  • [7/16]个性化旅游催生登山“陪爬”服务 年轻人乐为情绪价值买单
                　　“熟悉武功山，登顶多次，会拍照，情绪价值拉满……”在网友“阿锋在路上”的武功山“陪爬”自荐帖子下，数十名网友咨询。   　　暑期旅游热潮来袭，徒步登山是年轻人旅游新风尚。然而，这种旅游方式对登山者的体力、耐力、毅力考验不小。当“特种兵式旅游”遇上体能达人，“陪爬”悄然走红。   　　在江西萍乡武功山风景名胜区，海拔1600米以上分布着10万亩高山草甸，从山脚全程徒步至山顶，需要5至6个小时，不少游客爬到一半苦不堪言。官方数据显示，2025年上半年，该景区共接待人数262.85万人次，同比增长31.54%。   图为7月5日，江西萍乡武功山风景名胜区，众多游客徒步夜爬登山看日出。朱莹 摄   　　今年24岁的登山者陈莉莎体验了“陪爬”服务，她告诉记者，这是为情绪价值买单，“花钱找一个体力好、有经验的‘登山搭子’，不仅能满足自己‘又菜又爱玩’的登山需求，还能摆脱孤单感、枯燥感。”   　　在带娃登山者邓嘉玲看来，“陪爬”服务能极大缓解带娃出游压力，“我一直想带孩子夜爬武功山，体验不一样的风景，但负担很重，也担心有安全隐患，‘陪爬’还有背娃服务。”   　　网友“阿锋在路上”本名朱剑锋，今年23岁，从事“陪爬”工作已有一年，截至目前，已接到近200笔订单，“6月份我有29天时间都在‘陪爬’，每单单价在400元至600元之间。具体服务包括路线规划、背包协助、拍摄，甚至按摩、背娃等，只要顾客有需求，我们都会尽量满足。”   　　“我们有一个20多人的团队，基本都是‘00后’，消费者也以年轻人和带娃家庭为主。”朱剑锋认为，如同泰山、黄山、三清山等景区的“坐轿上山”服务一样，登山“陪爬”服务也是满足游客的特殊需求，既可以赚钱，也可以拓展社交面。   图为7月5日凌晨，江西萍乡武功山风景名胜区，登山“陪爬”从业者朱剑锋(左一)与游客交流。朱莹 摄   　　在旅游行业从业者胡飞凡看来，随着年轻一代成为旅游市场主力军，个性化旅游服务需求大幅增长，“陪爬”服务填补了传统导游服务与自主登山间的空白。   　　值得注意的是，登山“陪爬”亦存在一定的风险和隐患。目前，登山“陪爬”服务大多依靠个体经营，通过社交平台进行预约交易。   　　湖北恩施大峡谷是少数介入“陪爬”的景区之一，2024年国庆假期，该景区公开招募“陪爬”志愿者，为游客免费提供“聊天式讲解”“鼓励式爬山服务”等；泰安市泰山文化旅游集团有限公司党委副书记王厚哲接受《中国旅游报》采访时说，泰山景区正在考虑规范“泰山陪爬”服务。   　　江西省社会学会副会长袁小平认为，登山“陪爬”是传统导游服务的“升级版”，本质上是适应了旅游消费者日益增长的个性需求。景区应当读懂登山“陪爬”服务背后的市场需求，提供多元化、个性化服务，满足游客的新需求。同时，针对“陪爬”服务存在的风险，相关部门应尽快制定行业标准和服务规范，推动行业良性发展，让登山“陪爬”服务朝着健康有序的方向发展。(完)   https://www.chinanews.com.cn/sh/2025/07-09/10445050.shtml

  • 「7/18」十島村 震度1以上が1600回超 気象庁“最大震度6弱程度注意を”
    トカラ列島近海では活発な地震活動が続き、鹿児島県十島村ではこれまでに震度1以上の地震が1600回を超えて発生しています。気象庁は、当面、最大震度6弱程度の地震に注意するよう呼びかけています。 鹿児島県のトカラ列島の悪石島や小宝島付近では、先月21日から地震活動が活発になり、これまでに悪石島で最大震度6弱の揺れを観測しています。 6日は悪石島で震度5強の揺れを観測する地震が2回、相次いで発生し、7日はマグニチュード5.1の地震が起きて悪石島で震度5弱の揺れを観測しました。 活発な地震活動は続いていて、震度1以上の揺れを観測する地震が、6日は180回、7日は60回発生し、先月21日から8日午前11時までの回数は、1673回にのぼっています。 トカラ列島近海ではおととしや2021年にも活発な地震活動がありましたが、今回の地震の回数は過去のケースを大きく上回っています。 気象庁は、震源が浅く、観測点に近いと震度が大きくなるとして、当面、最大震度6弱程度の地震に注意するよう呼びかけています。 このほか、同じ十島村の諏訪之瀬島では8日午前5時半すぎから震度3の揺れを観測する地震が相次ぎました。

  • 「7/17」大手コンビニ 駐車場を車中泊用で貸し出す実証実験 開始へ
    ホテルなどの宿泊費が上昇する中、大手コンビニでは一部の店舗の駐車場を車中泊用として貸し出す実証実験が始まります。利用状況などを踏まえて、今後の拡大も検討していくということです。 大手コンビニのローソンは、今月14日から来年6月末までの間、千葉県内の6つの店舗の駐車場を車中泊用のスペースとして有料で貸し出す実証実験を行います。 利用料金は1台分の区画当たり2500円から3000円で、事前の予約を行ったうえで午後6時から翌日午前9時までの間駐車が可能になります。 車中泊にあたっては、コンビニのトイレを利用できるほか、一定量の生ゴミについては専用のゴミ袋に入れて店側に処分してもらうことができるということです。 会社によりますと、コンビニの駐車場を車中泊用に貸し出すのは初めてだということで、利用状況などを踏まえて今後の拡大も検討していくということです。 信用調査会社の東京商工リサーチによりますと、外国人観光客の増加などを背景に大手ビジネスホテルなど国内の12のブランドのホテルの去年10月から12月の平均の客室単価は、コロナ禍の影響を受けた2021年の年間平均のおよそ2倍の水準に上昇していて、物価高などで消費者の節約志向が続く中、ニーズを取り込めるか注目されます。

  • 「7/16」倒産した医療機関 上半期で全国35件 過去最多ペース
    ことしの上半期に倒産した医療機関は全国で35件となり、倒産が過去最多となった去年を上回るペースであることが信用調査会社のまとめでわかりました。 帝国データバンクによりますと、ことし1月から先月までに倒産した医療機関を経営する事業者は全国であわせて35件となり、年間で64件が倒産して過去最多となった去年を上回るペースとなっているということです。 内訳をみると ▽歯科医院が14件 ▽診療所が12件 ▽病院が9件となり ことしは病院の倒産が目立つとしています。 主な要因は、医療機器の価格や人件費、入院患者の給食費や光熱費が高騰する一方で、診療報酬がその上昇分に対応できないことによる収益の悪化だということです。 また、主に診療所や歯科医院では経営者の高齢化で、事業継続が困難となる事業者が急増しているほか、病院では建物が法定耐用年数の39年を超えても建設費の高騰や資金難で新しい施設を建設できずに存続危機に陥る施設が今後相次ぐのではないかと指摘しています。 帝国データバンクは「これまで小規模の事業者の倒産が多かったが、中規模の病院にも影響が及んできた。このままでは年間の倒産件数が初めて70件に達する可能性がある」としています。
