Hello everybody, and welcome to a new episode of News Bites!
I'm Nancy Sun…
And I'm Trevor Tortomasi.
In today's news:
Recycling after you eat, investing by a hamster, and a lead actress leaves a new show.
All that and more, coming up next.
內用紙餐具要開始做回收囉 Time to Start Recycling Paper Tableware
Everyone in Taiwan has worked hard to stop COVID-19.
And we are slowly starting to get back to normal.
Of course, we still have to be careful, wear masks sometimes, and wash our hands often.
But now, one thing we can do again is eat in restaurants.
But remember, if you are eating at a restaurant, there's something new you need to do.
Starting this month, restaurants that use paper tableware (紙餐具) will need recycle them.
The restaurant must have a place for recycling paper tableware.
It should have a clear sign.
環保署說用紙餐具的自助餐店或便當店，只要有提共內用，都需要設置紙餐具回收設施，還要有清楚的標示，讓消費者餐後可以做垃圾分類。
And people who eat in the restaurant should put their used paper plates, bowls, or boxes there.
And the restaurant has to remind (提醒) people to do this.
The government says about 7,600 places that sell food will have to make this change.
Anyone who doesn't follow these new rules could be fined (被罰款) $300,000NT.
環保局提醒大家，吃飽以後記得把食物殘渣投入「廚餘回收桶」，再將紙杯、紙碗、紙盤、紙餐盒「清理、分類、堆疊」，最後投入「廢紙餐具回收設施」。
倉鼠界股神 投資表現優於巴菲特及美股大盤 Hamster Shows Investors How It's Done
Lots of people put money into the stock market (股市).
They choose a company, and buy its stock (股份).
If you have a company's stock, it's like you own a little part of that company.
If the company's stock goes up, your little part is worth more money.
有些人會買股票，擁有一個公司的股票就像擁有這個公司的一小部分，公司的股票漲價，你持有的部分就變得更值錢。
Many people put a lot of work into choosing stocks to make money.
Some go to school for years to learn about it.
But someone…or…something is making money on the stock market without any practice!
Meet Mr. Goxx.
He is a hamster (倉鼠).
Since June this year, Mr. Goxx has been buying and selling cryptocurrencies (加密貨幣).
Mr. Goxx has a very high-tech (高科技) office.
In his office, the little gray hamster has a special wheel.
When he runs on the wheel, it goes through the names of different cryptocurrencies.
When he stops, one cryptocurrency is chosen.
There are also two tunnels (隧道) in his cage.
One is the "buy" tunnel.
The other is the "sell" tunnel.
If Mr. Goxx runs through the buy tunnel, a computer will buy some of the cryptocurrency he chose on the wheel.
If the hamster runs through the sell tunnel, the computer will sell what Mr. Goxx chose on the wheel.
This all sounds like a crazy game…and it sounds like a way to lose lots of money.
But, Mr. Goxx has actually made money!
When he first started buying and selling cryptocurrencies, Mr. Goxx had $12,270 NT.
Now, he has about $16,080 NT.
That means he's doing better than famous investor Warren Buffett.
這一隻小倉鼠Mr. Goxx選擇的加密貨幣投資組合報酬率居然更勝股神沃倫巴菲特及標普 500！
But Mr. Goxx's owner asks everyone to remember that this is all just for fun.
女主角退出電視節目 Actress Leaves Upcoming TV Series
The lead actress of a new show has stepped down (離職).

It was based on the 2005 movie of the same name.
The original film starred Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie.
菲比·沃勒-布里奇決定退出新的史密斯任務電視節目。

They are now looking for a new actress to take over the role.
The new show is still scheduled to start airing in 2022.
It will be on the Amazon Prime streaming service.
