Lettuce Grown Right in Supermarket
I love fresh vegetables. Especially lettuce, it's so crunchy and green.
我喜歡新鮮蔬菜,尤其是萵苣。
Fresh lettuce is best. We all want newly picked lettuce.
新鮮的萵苣最棒了。
That means the lettuce farm should be close to the market. In fact, the
freshest lettuce is the kind you pick with your own hands.
所以萵苣農場最好要靠近超市。如果能親手摘就更新鮮了。
So what if the lettuce grew right inside the supermarket? That's what one
supermarket in Egypt is doing.
They plant lettuce in a fridge and use a special light to make it grow.
在埃及,有一家超市在店裡面種萵苣!萵苣在冰箱裡面,用特殊的燈照它們,讓它們成長。
When people go shopping, they can pick the lettuce themselves. "Ooo! So
fresh!"
客人可以買自己摘的菜。
But won't growing vegetables in the store be dirty? Actually, the supermarket
doesn't use any dirt to grow this lettuce. They plant it directly in the
water. That's called "hydroponics".
但是在超市種菜不會髒嗎?其實他們不用泥土,他們直接把萵苣種在水裡。這叫做水耕。
The water is very healthy, and the plants like it. What's more, this way can
save lots of water. Hydroponics uses 90% less water.
而且水耕用到的水減少了百分之九十。
Next time you go to the store, you might be able to pick fresh lettuce by
yourself.

Scientists Zap Clouds with Electricity
Summers in Taiwan can be very hot! When the sun comes out, everyone feels
warm. And sometimes, it's too dry. Isn't there any way to make it rain?!
台灣的夏天很熱,有時候也很乾!有沒有甚麼方法可以讓天空下雨呢?
In the past, we could not change the weather. But scientists have had an
idea. They have found a way to make it rain, using electricity.
現在,科學家發現一種用電讓天空下雨的方法。
We know where rain comes from. It falls from clouds in the sky.
我們知道雨水是從天上的雲落下來。
Clouds are made of water. When the water gets too heavy, the clouds start to
rain.
雲是水構成的,當這些水太重,就會開始下雨。
Sometimes there is not enough rain. That is not good. When the rain is too
little, people have no water to drink, and plants become too dry. So how can
we make it rain more?
如果雨水太少,我們就會沒有水喝,植物也會乾枯。
Recently, scientists did a test. They used a little robot to zap a cloud with
electricity. The electricity made the drops of water stick together.
科學家做了一個實驗,他們電擊一朵雲,讓雲層中的水滴黏在一起。
When the drops of water come together, they get heavier. Then they fall to
earth. So when the cloud is zapped with electricity, it turns into rain.
水結成大水滴之後會變得更重,然後變成雨,落到地面。
What a useful idea. Scientists think it can help people. When the weather is
too hot or dry, people can use this technology to make rain. All it takes is
a cloud and a little electricity!
