珍古德將在台北建立 實驗教育機構 Jane Goodall Helps To Set Up An Academy In Taipei
Taipei is getting a special academy (特殊學校) to help teach young people about nature.
And the planning of the academy will be helped by a very special animal researcher, named Jane Goodall!
Ms. Goodall is famous for researching and working with chimpanzees (黑猩猩), for most of her life.
Many people say she is the world's best expert on these primates (靈長目), who are so closely related to humans.
Ms. Goodall's academy plans to teach elementary school students more about nature, and to raise environmental awareness. 珍古德實驗學校的目標，就是提供小學生更多關於大自然的知識，並且提升他們的環境意識。
Ms. Goodall is helping the academy get started with the 10 million NT (一千萬台幣) she got from winning a "Tang Prize".
The Tang Prize is for people who do amazing work in subjects like science, history, and law.
And there are also awards for work in "sustainable development", which is what Ms. Goodall won!
Ms. Goodall also plans to use this money for projects (計畫) in Malaysia and India.
In Malaysia, she will focus on teaching more people about primates.
And the project in India will focus on connecting young people with the natural world.
The Tang Foundation says the projects will continue working over the next four years.
This could be the start of many more nature projects to come!
特斯拉汽車公司 製造新型機器人來取代人工 Tesla Making New Robots To Replace Human Work
Humans have made some amazing robots in the past few years, and many of them are getting smarter and smarter.
But how would you feel about working with one?
The company Tesla might be releasing a "Tesla Bot" next year.
"Bot" is short for "robot" (機器人), and the new robot would be used for work that is difficult for people to do.
That includes work that is dangerous, repetitive, or even boring.
Tesla's CEO Elon Musk (執行長 伊隆·馬斯克) says the robots will be able to do things like putting together cars, or moving heavy things around.
He says they will be about 173 centimeters tall, and they won't be too expensive to make!
Since the economy is still having trouble from COVID-19, Mr. Musk says these robots would help in some of the places where real people can't. 馬斯克說由於疫情的影響，這些機器人能幫助大家做一些人類辦不到的事。
The Tesla Bots will need to have cameras, so they can see their surroundings (周圍的環境) and learn how to move around people and things.
But some workers are scared of what this could mean, for real people working around the robots.
Since the robots' cameras will record everything they see, many workers feel like they won't have any more privacy. 機器人會錄下它的攝影機所看到的人與周圍環境，很多員工因此覺得隱私受到侵犯。
Other people are afraid the robots will be better workers, and take away jobs from real people.
Still, some people say the robots aren't the problem.
They say we should worry more about the people controlling (控制) the robots.
Having better technology is great… but these are questions we will have to think about more and more in the future.
