Football is so popular in China. Almost everyone is interested in the sport,young and old, boys and girls,and
now even robots.
Last week at Hangzhou Guangming Middle School, kids from several schools played football with their robots.
The robot football is very different from human football. Only two robots play in each match. The field is as big
as a ping-pong table. One half is black and the other is white. Each robot tries to catch the " football" and push it
into the goal. The robot with more goals won.
Gao Linge,a boy from Guangming Middle School, helped make one of the robots for the match.
" My school bought the main board (主板) ," said Gao,14. " Then I decided what my robot looked like and made
a computer programme for it. "
Gao"s robot was eight cm tall and had two arms.It had four sensors (感应器 ) to " see " and "kick" the football.
Ying Xuehai, a 12-year-old student from Gao"s school,also made a robot. His robot played against Gao"s.The match
decided who would go to the final game. Ying lost the game. So he gave many of his robot"s parts to Gao.
Even with the help, Gao"s robot didn"t win the final. It played well in the first five minutes.
Then it slowed down. By the end of the match,it could hardly move.
What was wrong?
Gao and Ying found the problem. Their robot ran out of batteries(电池) !
" We"ll solve the problem and beat the other schools next time ! " said the two boys.

Long long ago the Mouse King had a beautiful daughter. When she was old enough to be married, he called together the oldest and cleverest mice to talk about it. "My daughter," He said, "is far too beautiful to marry just anybody. I have decided to marry her to the greatest thing in the world. Now, who shall it be?" "The sun," the first mouse said at once, "is the greatest thing in the world. It shines over the whole world. " "Why, then, I shall marry her to the sun," said the Mouse King. "But," said the second, "a cloud can cover the sun. " "Then, she must be married to the cloud. " "But," said the third, " the rain breaks through the clouds and puts an end to them. " "That is true. I must marry her to the rain. " "But," cried the fourth, "no matter how hard the rain falls, it cannot wash away the trees. " "Then she must be the tree"s wife. " "But," shouted the fifth, "a strong wind can blow down the trees. " "Very true. Then the wind must be her husband. " "But," remembered the sixth," no matter how hard the wind blows, it cannot blow away the earth. " "Then I must marry her to the earth. " "But," called out the seventh," the earth is covered by the wooden floors of men"s houses. " "Then she shall marry the wooden floor at once. " "But," the last said slowly, "no matter how strong the wooden floor is, a mouse can bite his way through it. " "It is clear that a mouse is the greatest thing in the world," the happy Mouse King said, with a smile on his face. And that was why the Mouse King"s daughter married a mouse at last. | |||
