>Students jolted by US rule

全网课留美学生须离境?

International students in US educational institutions will have to leave or will be prohibited from entering the country if their schools move to online-only teaching in response to the novel coronavirus pandemic.

为应对新冠病毒大流行，就读于美国教育机构的国际学生如果所在学校仅提供网课，将不得不离开美国或被禁止入境美国。

US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) announced a new rule on Monday that students on F-1 (academic student) and M-1 (vocational or technical student) visas may not remain in the US if they take a full online-only course load for the fall semester.

美国入境和海关执法局7月6日发布新规称，持F-1签证(针对学术课程学生)和M-1签证(针对职业性或技能性课程学生)的留学生如果在2020年秋季学期仅上网课，或将无法留在美国。

The US Department of State will not issue visas to students enrolled in schools that operate under an online-only course model, and US Customs and Border Protection will not permit such students to enter the country, according to an ICE statement.

入境和海关执法局发布的通知称，美国国务院将不会向该学期全部采用网络授课的学校的学生发放签证，美国海关和边境保护局也不会让这些学生进入美国。

ICE said students affected by the new policy can transfer to a school with in-person instruction to retain their legal status; otherwise, they will be deemed to be in the US illegally and subject to deportation.

通知称，受新政影响的留学生可以转学提供当面授课的学校以维持合法身份，否则将被视作非法逗留从而面临遣返的后果。

>Italian glacier turns pink

阿尔卑斯山现粉红冰川

A glacier in Italy is turning pink because of algae - a development that will make the ice melt faster, a scientist studying the phenomenon says. Pink snow has appeared at the Presena glacier in northern Italy, said researcher Biagio Di Mauro, of the Institute of Polar Sciences at Italy"s National Research Council. While "watermelon snow," as it is sometimes known, is fairly common in the Alps in spring and summer, it has been more marked this year. Mauro believes an algae named Chlamydomonas nivalis is responsible for the change in color. Algal blooms are bad news for the health of the glacier as darker snow absorbs more energy, meaning it melts faster.

近日，意大利一座冰川因为藻类变成了粉红色，研究这一现象的专家表示，这种发展变化将使冰川融化得更快。意大利国家研究委员会极地科学研究所研究员比亚吉奥•迪•莫罗称，意大利北部普勒塞纳冰川已出现粉红色的雪。这种粉红色的雪有时也被称为"西瓜雪"，在阿尔卑斯的春季和夏季相当常见，但今年这种现象更为显著。莫罗称认为名为"雪衣藻"的藻类是造成冰川变色的原因。藻类大量繁殖对冰川健康来说是个坏消息，因为深色的雪会吸收更多能量，这意味着冰雪会融化得更快。
