Not even close. But the 1971 Volkswagen named Helios can do something most cars can’t:run on solar energy-energy from the sun’s light and heat! Joshua Bechtold, 14, and the other students at the Riverside School in Lyndonville, Vermont, worked many months to get Helios ready for the 1999 American Tour de Sol(“Sol is the Latin word for“sun ). They named their car after Helios, the sun god in Greek mythology. The 4-year-old Tour de Sol encourages the use of “green , or environmentally friendly, cars to help reduce pollution and save energy. It’s not a race. Cars are judged on fuel efficiency rather than speed. In the week-long event, 44 cars took the 350-mile tour from Waterbury, Connecticut, to Lake George, New York. Of the 23 student cars, Helios was the only one built by middle school students. A teacher drove Helios, but the children talked with people wherever they stopped along the road. “That was my favorite part. says Anna Browne, 15. “We explained how the car runs. Due in part to old, inefficient batteries, Helios finished fourth-out of four-in its kind, the sun-powered class. “We were there for the fun of it. Anna says. “We’re proud of Helios, says Ariel Gleicher, 14. “It’s a car that’s good for the environment. 查看更多

  Houston, Texas(June 8,2002)-In 2004, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration(NASA)(美国航空航天局)will send two robots to separate places of Mars(火星)to seek(寻找)out past or present signs of water.It is an exciting idea to send two robots driving over very different places of Mars at the same time, to be able to see what is on the other side of the hill.

  Last month, NASA announced it was sending one robot to Mars, but after two weeks, it decided there was enough money for two.The robots will be sent up within two weeks of each other in May and June of 2003 from Kennedy Space Center.If all goes well, the two spacecraft(宇宙飞船)will touch down on Mars, after a seve-and-a-half-month space flight, on January 2 and 20,2004.

  The robots, each weighing 150 kilograms, can cover 100 meters per day.They are designed to be able to examine the mineral content(矿物质)of the soil, and their special camera will take pictures of the lands and hills.Although they will be under control from Earth, the robots, are able to move more freely compared to those sent up before them.

  The actual landing points have not been determined yet, but the scientists say it will be in areas where they hope to find water.
