Musk looked as surprised as everyone else when a heavy metal ball was thrown at the Cybertruck window and it smashed. Elon Musk revealed in a tweet what happened.

This couldn't be seen externally, so the windows looked undamaged, but they'd actually lost their strength before the ball was thrown.

【今日閱讀】

The deep-pocketedoil behemoth, is in legal trouble, according to environmental law experts. There's compelling evidencethe Exxon Mobil Corporation defraudedits investors, and at minimum, the company will be exposedto deep public scrutiny as the trial develops. "We’re seeing the company for the first time confrontedin open courts with the evidence of its climate deception,"

--------

To combat the terrible publicityassociated with fraud allegations, the company strategically purchased ads from Google for people searching for the climate trial. Exxon has specifically targeted keyword searches like "Exxon climate trial," and "Exxon climate change."

--------

Though the oil giant'sscientists have understood the consequences of emittingcarbon into the atmosphere since the 1950s, Exxon began to sow doubt about climate science in the 1980s. This latest Google ad campaignis a continuation of Exxon's decades-longefforts to influence the public's perception of climate change.

「應該讓小孩去升學補習班，還是美語補習班？」  

升學補習班友缺乏口說、聽力練習。台灣升學補習班習慣用文法解題，這種方式國中可能還有用，但面對困難的高中英文其實無效。  家長要記得，英文不只是為了考高中、大學。將來工作、人生都會用到。

如果遲早要面臨，為何不一開始就用正確的分式學習？  國中年紀還小，如果小學沒好好學英文，現在開始還是很有機會。不要把目標放在高中，把目標放在人生。你就會發現，13 歲開始學英文，對人生來講，時間綽綽有餘。

Wearing a gray suit and glasses, Kevin Spacey appeared on Monday at a Massachusetts courthouse where a judge was set to hold a hearing in the case accusing the *disgraced actor of *groping a young man at a Nantucket bar in 2016.

----------------------------------

Spacey sat at a table alongside his lawyers, *occasionally whispering in the ear of lead attorney Alan Jackson. He did not answer reporters’ questions when he arrived or when he left the courthouse.

His appearance was a surprise as he was not required to attend the hearing and has stayed away from the courthouse except for a brief hearing in January, which he tried to avoid.

The 59-year-old former House of Cards actor, who has pleaded not guilty to a charge of indecent assault and battery, faces up to two and a half years in jail if convicted.
