Man Jumps Off Mount Everest
Do you know the name of the tallest mountain in the world?
In English it's called "Mount Everest".
世界最高的山叫做聖母峰。
Many people go to Nepal to see it, and many climb all the way to the top.
But one man has jumped off of Mt. Everest!
很多人都想爬上去,但有個人卻從上面跳下來!
No, don't worry, he didn't die!
Pierre Carter is a man from South Africa who likes to use a paraglider and
jump off the world's tallest mountains!
來自南非的 Pierre Carter 喜歡用滑翔翼從世界上的高山跳下去。
A paraglider is like a parachute, but a paraglider is designed to help the
person fly slower to the ground.
And you can use your arms to control a paraglider so you can fly around by
catching the wind! For a short time, you can fly like a bird with a
paraglider.
你可以控制滑翔翼隨著風,慢慢飛回地上。
If you want to climb to the top of Mt. Everest, it can take about two months.
But it only took Mr. Carter about 20 minutes to fly down to the bottom with
his paraglider!
攀登聖母峰頂可能需要兩個月,但是用滑翔翼只花了 20 分鐘就滑下來了!
Mr. Carter made sure that his jump off of Mount Everest with his paraglider
was safe.
He isn't just some crazy guy who likes to do crazy stuff. Mr. Carter thinks
safety is very important, so he did everything the right way.
他有確認過跳下去是安全的。
Doing amazing things like jumping off mountains with a paraglider is cool,
but I'm happy Mr. Carter did it safely.

Hi there, and welcome to a new episode of News Bites!
I'm Nancy Sun...
And I'm Clifford Chu.
In today's news:
Kaohsiung makes NFTs, wind power makes candy, and the secret to perfectly
drinking boba milk tea.
All that and more, coming up next.

高雄市地標化身成NFT
Kaohsiung Landmarks Go Digital
Kaohsiung's landmarks have gone digital.
A group of artists and the Kaohsiung City government worked together to make
landmark NFTs and T-shirts.
高雄市地標成功數位化,化身成NFT和限量版的NFT圖樣T恤。
NFTs or non-fungible tokens (非同質化代幣) are all over the world at the
moment.
And the 6 talented Taiwanese NFT artists are using the tokens to showcase
(展示) Taiwanese culture
Starting this summer, the Kaohsiung City government has created a "local
treasure hunt".
Anyone can collect stamps from specific historical (具有歷史價值的) locations.
There are a total of 100 stamp stations set all over Kaohsiung.
Anyone visiting Kaohsiung can participate in this treasure hunt to collect
all 100 stamps.
And the city government also invited the 6 well-known NFT artists to create
limited edition (限量版) Kaohsiung NFTs and NFT T-shirts.
Anyone who collects 15 stamps from the 100 locations can get a free NFT!

風力發電機變成小熊軟糖
Wind Turbines Turn into Gummy Bears
Can you imagine that a decommissioned wind turbine blade could turn into a
gummy bear?
你可以想像風力發電機的葉片回收之後,轉變成小熊QQ軟糖的樣子嗎?
Yes, that's right... from wind turbine to gummy bear.
Renewable energy (再生能源) is becoming more and more efficient.
And the cost of making renewable energy is going down too.
But the huge (巨大的) blades on a wind turbine always were a headache
(令人頭痛).
Sometimes a blade breaks.
Or sometimes the blade is too old.
But the blades are very big.
How big are those blades?
Well, imagine running across a soccer field (足球場)... pretty big, right?
Many wind turbine blades are as long as half that soccer field!
And the blades are made of special materials (材料), like carbon fiber
(碳纖維).
They last a long time.
So it can be really hard to throw them away safely, without hurting the
environment.
Experts say there are now around 14,000 old and broken turbine blades in the
world!
So what do we do with old and broken blades?
Scientists have found a way to make wind turbine blades out of materials that
can be recycled.
And these blades can even be made into gummy bears!
Scientists at Michigan State University can build turbine blades out of
biopolymer, and some other materials.
Biopolymers are natural materials made from cells (細胞) of living things.
The biopolymer is still strong enough to make good wind turbine blades.
And when the biopolymer blades break or get too old, they can be made into
other things.
Or they can even be turned into sports drinks or candy!
What do you think about eating food made of recycled machines?
Would you want to try it?

喝珍奶有秘訣?
The Secret to Drinking Boba Milk Tea
Many people around the world love drinking boba milk tea.
But almost everyone has faced this problem...
There's no more boba, and you only have milk tea left.
Or, there's no more milk tea, and you only have boba left!
很多人喜歡喝冰冰涼涼的珍珠奶茶,不過快喝完的時候,發現只剩珍珠或只剩奶茶。
Can we finish both at the same time?
Some boba milk tea lovers on the internet say they can fix this problem.
First, they say stir (攪拌) before you drink.
Keep stirring as you're drinking.
If you leave your boba milk tea sitting for a while, remember to shake your
cup before you stick your straw in it.
The main point here is to get the boba floating all throughout your milk tea.
Simple right?
Second, keep the bottom of your straw about 1 or 2 centimeters from the
bottom of the cup.
If you stick your straw to the bottom, you won't get any boba when you drink.
And you'll still be left with a bunch of boba at the end.
Super simple, right?
Now you know how to fully enjoy your next cup of Taiwan's famous drink, boba
milk tea.
