>Point system for dog owners
濟南實行養(yǎng)狗計分制度
Chinese cities are launching a scoring system for dog owners where anyone found failing to care for their pets could be forced to pay a fine - or even have their dog confiscated. The credit system is already being enforced in the city of Jinan, and requires anyone with a dog to register with the police - with only one dog permitted per person. The license starts with a dozen points and is embedded as a QR code on a dog's collar. Points are then deducted for various infractions, such as walking a dog without a leash or tag, not cleaning up feces, or being reported for a disturbance. Losing all 12 points means saying goodbye to the dog, the most severe punishment authorities can levy. Once a dog is confiscated, owners must pass an exam about responsible pet ownership before being reunited.
中國的城市正在針對狗主人推出計分制度，被發(fā)現(xiàn)未能看好自己寵物的人可能被要求繳納罰款，甚至被沒收狗狗。這種信用體系已經(jīng)在濟南市實行，要求任何養(yǎng)狗的人都要在警方那里登記，且每人只允許養(yǎng)一只狗。狗證一開始有12分，并以二維碼的方式嵌在狗的項圈上。分數(shù)會因各種違規(guī)行為被扣掉，比如遛狗時沒有栓狗鏈或不帶狗牌，不清理糞便，或被人舉報擾民。扣光全部12分意味著要和自己的狗說再見了，這是政府可以采取的最嚴厲的處罰。一旦狗被沒收，主人必須通過負責任寵物主人的考試，然后才能和狗狗團聚。

>Art to combat illness
加國準醫(yī)生開'藝術處方'
An unconventional new initiative in Canada will soon allow doctors to literally prescribe art to their patients - by giving them free access to a local museum. These patients and their loved ones will be able to feast their eyes on soothing artwork. The initiative is the first of its kind in the world. And while you certainly can't replace a conventional treatment with a couple of paintings, the idea is for such "prescriptions" to assist a person's current treatment plan. In some ways, the benefits of looking at art appear a little similar to physical activity. A systematic review of clinical art therapy found visual art has significant and positive effects on depression, anxiety, mood, trauma, distress, coping ability, and self-esteem.

多地公交裝'司乘隔離門'
Many cities in China are exploring stricter measures to protect drivers and harsher punishment for ill-behaved passengers, after a woman attacked a bus driver before the bus plunged into the Yangtze River in Chongqing, killing 15 people. Nanjing in Jiangsu province promises to install doors that separate the driver from the passengers on some 8,000 buses by 2019, People's Daily reported. Wuhan in Hubei province will replace 6,100 older buses with new models equipped with protective doors by 2025, Wuhan Evening News reported. Some places have already started to take stricter legal measures against passengers who misbehave. A local court in Shenyang, Liaoning province, sentenced three individuals in three separate cases to three years in prison with reprieve. All three had physically clashed with bus drivers, causing traffic accidents or injuries to passengers, Xinhua reported. Media reports have found at least 24 incidents of passengers grabbing the steering wheel of a bus in 2018.

臭氧層破洞正緩慢恢復
The ozone layer that shields life from cancer-causing solar rays is recovering at a rate of 1-3% per decade, reversing years of dangerous depletion caused by the release of harmful chemicals, a UN study said on Monday. A quadriennial review of the Montreal Protocol found long-term decreases in the atmospheric abundance of controlled ozone-depleting substances and the ongoing recovery of stratospheric ozone. The Antarctic ozone hole was expected to gradually close, returning to 1980 levels in the 2060s, the report said. "Evidence presented by the authors shows the ozone layer in parts of the stratosphere has recovered at a rate of 1-3% per decade since 2000,"The UN Environment and the World Meteorological Organization said in a statement. "At projected rates, the Northern Hemisphere and mid-latitude ozone are scheduled to heal completely by the 2030s followed by the Southern Hemisphere in the 2050s and polar regions by 2060."
聯(lián)合國5日公布的一項研究稱，為生物阻擋可致癌的太陽輻射的臭氧層正以每10年1%-3%的速度恢復，扭轉多年來因排放有害化學物導致的臭氧層危險損耗的局面。四年進行一次的《蒙特利爾議定書》評議發(fā)現(xiàn)，大氣中受控臭氧損耗物質(zhì)的總量呈長期下降趨勢，平流層臭氧持續(xù)恢復。評議報告稱，南極臭氧破洞有望逐步閉合，到本世紀60年代恢復至1980年的程度。聯(lián)合國環(huán)境規(guī)劃署和世界氣象組織發(fā)表聲明稱："報告作者提出的證據(jù)顯示，自2000年以來，部分平流層中的臭氧層以每10年1%-3%的速度恢復。按預估的速度計算，北半球和中緯度地區(qū)的臭氧預計將在本世紀30年代完全修復，隨后是南半球在50年代修復，極地地區(qū)在2060年前修復。"
