  • #7 Technology | Why is Pluto been removed from the list of planets? | 為什麼冥王星自九大行星中除名?


    在2006年，科學家正式將「冥王星」從9大行星的名單上除名，成為天文學領域中最具爭議的事件之一。至於為什麼會被除名呢?


    原因是因為冥王星並沒有符合行星的第3項條件。現在我們的太陽系當中只剩下八大行星，分別是水星Mercury、金星Venus、地球Earth、火星Mars、木星Jupiter、土星Saturn、天王星Uranus和海王星Neptune，在天文領域中，要成為一個行星必需滿足1.運行的軌道環繞太陽運轉，2.體積得要夠大、夠重，足以形成圓球狀3.軌道上不能有其他物體並行。可惜我們的冥王星並不符合第3項，在它運行的軌道上有時候會與比它大很多的海王星重疊，因此冥王星才不再屬於大行星，而是被歸納為與許多小的星體並列的「矮行星」。


    Vocabulary:

    *Discovery (v.)發現

    *Probe (v.)調查；探索

    *Unique (adj.)獨特的

    Planet(n.)行星

                        If you were Malala, would you start to fight for education the moment you realize your life is in danger?

                        Summary:

                        Malala loves to read books when she was little. But ever since the Taliban was in charge, they broadcasted every single day that “girls are not allowed to go to school.” Malala was not afraid at all, she stood up and said, “I have the right to receive education.” Then one day on the van to school, a Taliban warrior went to the van and shot at her. Malala was taken to the hospital in UK, many doctors fought to save her and there were boys and girls praying for her. Finally, she opened her eyes and smiled with a book in her hand. On her 16th birthday, she gave a speech in front of international leaders and said, “One child, one teacher, one book, one pen can change the world.”

                        馬拉拉從小就很喜歡讀書學習，但是宗教極端份子塔利班掌權之後，每天都用廣播警告：「女孩不准上學。」馬拉拉不害怕，她勇敢發出聲音：「我有接受教育的權利。」塔利班戰士跳上馬拉拉乘坐的校車，朝她開槍。子彈穿過她的頭部、頸部和肩膀。她被送往英國的醫院，有很多醫生奮力為她急救，更有很多男孩女孩為她禱告。終於，她睜開雙眼，微笑。16歲生日時，她在國際領導人面前發表演說：「一個孩子，一個老師，一本書，一枝筆，就能夠改變世界。」

                        ✎ The Discussion Question From This Episode:

                        What’ a story about a place or thing in your community?

                        Summary:

                        A young boy spots a baby tree growing in the middle of a dusty path in his village. People pass by the path every day. To protect the baby tree, he decides to place rocks around it. As the tree grows bigger, the path around the tree becomes a lane, flowing like a river around the tree. Over time, the lane becomes a road, and a young man crossing the road with his children remembers the baby tree from long ago. By the time he is an old man, the tree has become a giant. The city traffic continues to rattle past, noisier and busier than ever, but sometimes the great tree works its magic and people just stop and listens.


                        從前，有個小男孩在村莊的黃土小路上，發現了一株幼苗。每天，村民們都會經過這條小路。為了保護這株幼苗，小男孩決定在周圍放上石頭。隨著時間過去，這條小路變成了一條小巷，繞著這株樹流淌，就像河流一樣。後來，小巷漸漸變成了一條道路，一個年輕男子帶著孩子穿過這條路時，回憶起很久以前那株幼苗。當他年老時，這棵樹已經長成了一棵巨大的樹。城市裡的交通依然如此喧嘩，但這棵巨大的樹有時會用魔力吸引人們停下來，靜靜欣賞。
