國際自由車環台公路大賽
Tour de Taiwan
You can probably ride a bicycle (腳踏車)…
But maybe you don't have a safe place to ride (沒有安全的地方可以騎), because of all those cars.
Well, there are 192 people who aren't scared!
These 192 people are in a bike race (自由車賽) from Taipei to Kaohsiung.
這 192 個人加入了這場大賽，從台北到高雄。
It's called the "Tour de Taiwan" (環台賽)!
The racers (參賽者) are divided into 23 teams (分成二十三個隊), from 31 countries (來自31個不同的國家).
For the first part of the race (比賽的第一部分), they rode around Taipei for more than 80 kilometers (騎了八十多公里).
Every day after that, they rode around 100 more kilometers…
And the road was super steep (超級陡峭)!
And on the last day, they finished at the Kaohsiung National Stadium (在高雄國家體育場結束比賽).
Of course, they were riding REALLY fast, and they needed to be very careful (小心).
So they had cars driving in front and in back, to give them space to ride safely.
他們的前後面都有汽車開道，幫他們維持騎腳踏車的安全空間。
So… who won?
到底是誰贏了比賽？
Well, as we're recording now, we don't know yet.
我們錄音的時候還不知道。
But when you hear this, you can go check!

2023年奧斯卡金像獎
2023 Academy Awards
Every year, Hollywood's "Academy" holds an awards ceremony for the best movies of the year.
每年，好萊塢的【影藝學院】都舉辦頒獎典禮給全年最佳的電影。
It's called the "Academy Awards", and the award is a little golden statue named "Oscar" (【奧斯卡】小金人).
And this year, one movie won a lot of prizes (獲得很多獎)!
It was a movie called "Everything Everywhere All at Once" (媽的多重宇宙), starring Michelle Yeoh (楊紫瓊).
And because of her performance, Michelle Yeoh is the first Asian person to win the Oscar for "Best Actress"!
楊紫瓊以絕佳演技，成為奧斯卡歷史上第一個亞洲人贏得【最佳女主角】獎項的演員！
The movie's two directors (兩位導演) won the award for "Best Director" (最佳導演)…
And two other people in the movie were named "Best Supporting Actors" (最佳男女配角).
But there were so many other amazing moments (驚人的時刻)!
"Black Panther: Wakanda Forever" (黑豹 2：瓦干達萬歲) won "Best Costume Design" (最佳服裝設計).
The Indian action movie (印度動作片) named "RRR" got "Best Original Song" (最佳原創歌曲), for its song "Naatu Naatu"…
And "Best Documentary" went to a movie about Alexei Navalny, a man fighting for change in Russia (一個為改革而戰的俄羅斯人).
Many people say this year's Academy Awards felt very different than before, and many people are happy about the change.
But one nice thing stayed the same…
Almost everyone who got an Oscar made sure to thank their mom and dad!

雞糞的力量
Chicken Poo Power
Okay, our last story is pretty silly…
But it's really good news!
One man in Kenya (肯亞) has found a new way to get power (供應能源) for his farm.
He uses chicken poop (雞的大便)!
Every morning, he collects the poopoo and puts it into a special machine (放進一台很特別的機器).
This makes something called biogas (沼氣).
Of course, the biogas has to go through a filter, to remove all the bad stuff and bad smells.
當然，這個沼氣要先過濾，濾掉所有不好的成分和味道。
But after that, it can be used for power (供應能源)!
He uses it for hot water, for cooking, and even to charge his electric car (給他的電動汽車充電)!
He says it helps him to save money (省錢), and it doesn't hurt the environment (不會傷害環境).
So, this poopoo is pretty useful (滿好用)!
Are you brave enough to use it?
