200 years of Bicycles
Hi everyone!
騎腳踏車好好玩喔! 你會騎嗎?
I learned how to ride a bicycle when I was in the fifth grade … and I still
ride a bicycle whenever I can!
Using a bicycle is a smart idea. 不用汽油或馬達 … you just need your legs!
Sit on the seat, put your feet on the pedals … push the pedals and go! --
It's pedal power! Amazing! Such a great idea!
So, who had this smart idea? 是誰先發明腳踏車?
Well, the answer is: a lot of people.
The first idea for a bicycle is more than 200 years old! It was made in
Germany. But the first bicycle didn't have pedals … you put your feet on the
ground and pushed the bicycle forward with your legs.
Now, bicycles use pedals, a chain, and gears …. now, you can ride a bicycle
really far and really fast!
腳踏車改變了全世界。 Today, lots of people use "public bicycles."
"Public" means "for people" and … well … you know what "bicycle" means,
right?
A public bicycle is a bicycle anyone can borrow - or rent - for only a little
money. It's an easy and convenient idea!
In Taipei, public bicycles are called "U-Bikes" and in Kaohsiung, they are
called "C-Bikes."台灣到處都找得到腳踏車!
Hey … maybe we don't need so many cars or motorcycles…we can ride bicycles!
Bicycles are clean and quiet … and you can get some exercise when you ride
them, too!
And did you know? Taiwan makes really good bicycles! All over the world,
people love bicycles made in Taiwan. Cool, right?
I'm really glad so many people had great ideas that gave us bicycles! Pedal
power is amazing!

Bat Nail Painting
Hey there, everyone!
Did you all hear the interesting news story about a really rare bat?
這是一種稀有的蝙蝠喔!
Batman: The Dark Knight!
No, not Batman! A bat!
This type of bat is very special, 剩下幾百隻而已. And that's sad, right?
These bats are so rare, that many people thought they were already gone
forever.
But then, a few years ago, the bats were found again!
Now the bats only live in one place, in one cave! 牠只住在一個洞穴裡!
Batman: The Batcave!
No! Not the Batcave!
This cave is in a country called Cuba. And the cave is nice, and comfortable,
and warm, just how the bats like it.
But because there are so few of the bats left, scientists want to keep an eye
on them, they want to check how many there are and track them.
科學家想知道到底還有幾隻這種蝙蝠.
"How do you track hundreds of bats? 追蹤蝙蝠很難吧!"
Batman: The Batsignal!
No!
Batman: The Batmobile!
No!
It's none of those things! The scientists are tracking the bats by painting
their nails! 塗指甲油!
Batman: In black?
No!
They're painting the nails lots of different colors! 這樣才分的情趣阿。
And the best part, is that the paint doesn't hurt the bats!
這種指甲油並不影響蝙蝠的生活. They just look cool!
Hopefully, one day, there will be lots more of these bats!
希望以後會有更多這種蝙蝠. And they can move to other caves, and have little
bat babies, and...
Batman: And fight crime!

Penguins Go To School
Hey, everybody! Today, I want to tell you about a special school.
It's a school for penguins. Where is this school? It's in a zoo, of course!
The zoo is in San Francisco, in America.
美國舊金山的一間動物園裡面,有一間企鵝學校。
Why do penguins go to school? Well, they live in a zoo, not nature. It's hard
for them to know what to do in a zoo. So, the penguins go to "Fish School."
這些企鵝在動物園出生,什麼都不會,所以要去學校學習。
In 2020, six baby penguins graduated from Fish School. 今年有6隻企鵝畢業生。
The school teaches the young animals how to swim. It also teaches them how
to eat fish. 學校教牠們游泳還有吃魚。
Why do baby penguins need to learn how to eat? Have you ever seen a penguin
eat? They don't eat with chopsticks, or a knife or fork. They don't cut up
the fish. 因為企鵝不會用筷子 刀子 或叉子把魚切了再吃。
They eat fish whole. The school teaches them how to eat a whole fish.
要教他們怎麼吃一整條魚。
The penguins also learn how to live with people at the zoo.
他們也要學習如何在動物園和人類相處。Penguins don't usually meet people in
nature.
A school for penguins... that sounds like a cool school!

Taipei Rainbow Record
I don't really like rain...but I love rainbows! 我不這麼喜歡下雨
但我很喜歡彩虹。But … you need rain to make a rainbow. 可是下雨才有彩虹。
Rainbows happen when light shines through water… and rain is water!
Sometimes we can see a rainbow just after a big rain… that's because there
is still some water in the sky.
There are seven colors in a rainbow -- red, orange, yellow, green, blue,
indigo and violet. 彩虹有七個顏色,紅橙黃綠藍靛紫。
Every rainbow is different … some rainbows go away really fast … but
sometimes we get lucky and see the rainbows stay in the sky for a long time.
有一些彩虹很快就消失但有時候會掛在天空很久。
Can you imagine seeing a rainbow for 2 hours? Or maybe 4 hours? That's

It happened three years ago … at Yangmingshan! 3年前在陽明山發生的。

happens! One time in England there was a rainbow for 6 hours, but the Taipei
rainbow set a new record! 上一個世界紀錄是在英國,
6小時的彩虹,但台北的彩虹刷新了紀錄!Cool!
To make a rainbow you need water in the sky and bright sunshine… So, the

record-breaking rainbow!
