第一則：詐騙橫行 超商成第一線重災區
台灣詐騙問題持續升溫，打詐專法上路一年半後，受害人數與金額仍不斷攀升。相較銀行防詐機制成熟，民眾最常出入的超商，已成詐騙發生最頻繁的場域之一。
超商業者表示，雖願全力配合打詐，但面對車手在ATM提領現金，店員往往顧及人身安全而難以即時報警。呼籲政府挹注資源，建立超商與警政單位更即時的連線機制，才能有效防詐並保障第一線人員安全。
Scams Spread as Convenience Stores Become the Front Line
Scams in Taiwan continue to worsen, and even after the Anti-Scam Laws has been in place for one and a half years, both the number of victims and total losses keep rising. Compared with banks, which have more mature anti-scam systems, convenience stores that people visit most often have become one of the most frequent locations for scam activities.
Convenience store operators say they are willing to fully cooperate with anti-scam efforts, but when money mules withdraw cash from ATMs, staff often hesitate to report to police due to concerns about personal safety. They are calling on the government to provide more resources and build faster and closer connections between convenience stores and police, so scams can be stopped more effectively and front-line workers can be better protected.
第二則：聯合國財務告急 九成欠款來自美國
根據《紐約時報》報導，聯合國坦言財務告急，若會員國未補繳會費，最快7月前資金將用盡，8月恐被迫關閉紐約總部，甚至影響9月聯合國大會。
美國總統川普於2月1日接受《POLITICO》訪問時，未正面回應是否補繳欠款，卻表示只要他出面聯絡，各國就會出錢。不過聯合國官員指出，現有欠款95%來自美國，後續如何解決，仍考驗國際合作與美國態度。
UN Faces Cash Crisis as U.S. Owes Most Dues
According to The New York Times, the United Nations has admitted it is facing a financial crisis. If member states do not pay their unpaid dues, the UN could run out of funds as early as July. The New York headquarters may be forced to shut down in August, and the September UN General Assembly could also be affected.
U.S. President Donald Trump, speaking to POLITICO in an interview on February 1, did not directly respond to whether the United States would pay the overdue fees. He said that as long as he personally reached out, other countries would be willing to contribute money. But UN officials pointed out that 95 percent of the unpaid dues currently come from the United States, and how the issue is resolved will continue to test international cooperation and the U.S. attitude.
第三則：執政黨信任度反彈 鄭麗文迎民意考驗
《美麗島電子報》發布最新的民調報告顯示，總統賴清德的民眾信任度提升至46.9%，行政院長卓榮泰於1月的滿意度也首度超越不滿意度，成功逆轉呈現「黃金交叉」。民調分析認為，這主要歸功於台美貿易談判取得進展。
然而國民黨主席鄭麗文在任職三個月內，不信任度卻暴增超過二十個百分點。未來朝野政黨如何在民意波動中調整策略，將是執政與在野陣營的重大考驗。
Trust in the Ruling Party Rebounds as Cheng Li-wun Faces a Test of Public Opinion
According to the latest poll report from My Formosa, President Lai Ching-te’s public trust rating has risen to 46.9%. Premier Cho Jung-tai’s approval rating in January also exceeded his disapproval rating for the first time, marking a successful reversal and a “golden cross” in public opinion. Analysts believe this is mainly due to the progress in Taiwan-U.S. trade talks.
However, the distrust rating for KMT Chairwoman Cheng Li-wun surged by over 20 percentage points within just three months of her taking office. How the ruling and opposition parties adjust their strategies amid these shifts in public opinion will be a major test for both sides.
第四則：哈佛教授示警 過度KPI恐傷企業未來
哈佛商學院教授指出，企業若過度依賴短期績效指標，可能壓抑創新、錯置資源，也會迫使員工為了達標而犧牲組織價值，反而削弱長期競爭力。
專家強調，績效管理不應只看短期數字，企業需兼顧長期策略、組織熱情與內在動機，才能支撐持續創新與穩健成長。
Harvard Professor Warns Excessive KPIs May Hurt Corporate Futures
A professor at Harvard Business School points out that when companies rely too heavily on short-term performance indicators, innovation can be suppressed, resources can be misallocated, and employees may be pushed to sacrifice organizational values just to meet targets, weakening long-term competitiveness.
Experts emphasize that performance management should not focus only on short-term numbers, and that companies must balance long-term strategy, organizational passion, and intrinsic motivation to support continuous innovation and steady growth.
第五則：數位失智症疑慮翻轉？科技反而強化長者認知
過去曾有觀點擔憂過度依賴科技可能引發「數位失智症」，但最新研究指出，50歲以上長者若經常使用數位科技，其認知障礙風險可降低約58%，效果甚至優於體能活動與血壓控制。
專家分析，學習數位工具本身即為高強度的腦力刺激，不僅提升神經活躍度，也有助於強化社交連結與補足日常功能，成為維持長者認知能力的重要方式。
Digital Dementia Concerns Challenged? Technology Strengthens Cognitive Health for Seniors
In the past, there were concerns that heavy technology use could cause digital dementia. However, recent research finds that adults aged 50 and older who regularly use digital tools have about a 58 percent lower risk of cognitive impairment, with benefits stronger than exercise or blood pressure control.
Experts explain that learning to use digital tools is a form of strong mental stimulation. It increases brain activity and also helps strengthen social connections and support daily functions, making it an important way for older adults to maintain cognitive abilities.
Let’s wrap up today’s episode. We’ve learned about some important events happening around the world.

As scams rise in Taiwan, convenience stores are becoming the front line and are calling for stronger support and closer police coordination.
