Robot Farmers
In Taiwan, some farms are small, and some are big... 台灣的農場有大,有小。
But guess what? There are farms in America that are bigger than all of Taipei
City! 在美國,有些農場比台北市還大喔。
On super big farms, farmers can't look at every vegetable… they can't check
every plant to see how it's growing.
But a robot can!
And….Scientists now have "robot farmers"!
這麼大的農場,農夫沒辦法照顧所有的蔬果。但「農夫機器人」可以!
These robots can find every vegetable… check every plant… and they can take
really good pictures!
「農夫機器人」可以照顧全部的蔬果植物,還會拍照記錄生長狀態。
The robots look a little like cars… they have wheels like cars… but they
are tall... I guess you could say they look like cars with legs.
這種「農夫機器人」長得像有腳的車子。
They drive over the vegetables and plants... look down... take pictures...
find information... and then send what they find back to a computer.
機器人會幫蔬菜和植物拍照、做資料記錄,然後再傳給電腦。
The farmers can see if bugs are eating plants in one part of the farm… or
maybe in another part of the farm, the plants are thirsty and need more
water. 農夫查看電腦就知道,農場哪裡的植物被蟲吃掉了、哪邊需要多澆點水。
That's a big help for farmers.
Robots are helping farmers grow more food and better food!
I'm sure robots will soon be helping farmers in Taiwan, too!

Don't Let Moose Lick Your Car
If you drive a car in Canada, you need to be careful of icy roads, snowy
weather, and… a moose licking your car!
在加拿大開車,你要注意路有沒有結冰、有沒有下雪 ... 有沒有駝鹿舔你的車子!
Did you know that in some parts of Canada, there are signs warning people to
not let moose lick their cars?
加拿大有些地方,有警告標誌「不可以讓駝鹿舔車子」。
That's right, people need to be careful of moose in Canada, because they're
very large and very strong animals. 因為加拿大駝鹿非常大而且很強壯。
But they also need to be careful not to let moose lick their cars!
還有不要讓駝鹿舔車子。
This is because if moose get used to licking cars, they might get too close
sometimes. And then they could hurt themselves or other people.
But why do moose lick cars? Experts say it's because they really like salt.
為什麼要舔車呢? 專家說因為駝鹿很喜歡鹽巴。
Salt is used on icy roads so they aren't so slippery. And sometimes that
salty road water is splashed onto cars… making the cars salty too!
為了讓馬路不滑,會在結冰的路上灑鹽,所以當路上的水飛濺起來,車身就變鹹鹹的!
So if you're ever in Canada, remember! It might be funny to let a moose lick
your car, but it's very dangerous for you and the moose! So make sure you
stay far away.

Burning Mountain of Coal

Coal is found deep in the earth. It looks like black rocks.

Nobody knows when it will stop burning...沒人知道什麼時候會停止燃燒。But
