比利时19岁少女开启独自驾机环球飞行 欲打破最年轻女性记录
中文小主播：Annie
在众人的注目下，19岁的扎拉•卢瑟福驾驶着飞机驶向蓝天。她将开启长达三个月的环球旅程。扎拉也将成为独自驾机环球飞行最年轻的女性！
扎拉驾驶着世界上最快的轻型运动飞机—鲨鱼超轻型飞机，从比利时西部的科特赖克-韦弗尔海姆机场起飞。
这位拥有英国和比利时双重国籍的少女，希望用此举鼓励更多女性参与STEM的学习，并成为相关领域的职业女性；同时也能激发女性对飞行领域的兴趣。
STEM一词是科学 (Science)、技术 (Technology)、工程 (Engineering)、数学 (Mathematics) 四门学科的英文首字母缩写。
扎拉告诉路透社记者：“我从小就喜欢学习飞行、科学、技术、工程和数学方面的知识。但是，令人失望的是，少有女性涉足这些领域。我希望借此鼓励更多女性投身这些行业。”
此前，这项飞行记录的保持者是阿富汗籍美国飞行员沙斯塔•瓦兹，她在三十岁时，成功单独驾驶飞机环绕地球一周。现在，扎拉将尝试打破世界记录，成为单人环球飞行最年轻的女性。目前，男子单人环球飞行纪录的保持者是十八岁的特拉维斯•鲁德洛 。
扎拉于当地时间8月18日展开环球之旅，三个月里将飞越52个国家，包括格陵兰 、中国和尼加拉瓜等国。沿途她将借宿当地人家中或入住酒店，在整个飞行中，保证充足的休息是很重要的。
扎拉提到，飞行员在长途飞行过程中，疲劳会产生很大的影响，她表示：“我一定要保证良好的休息时间。”
虽然天气因素会对旅程带来一些干扰，造成延误，但扎拉的团队给了她很大的支持，让她对此次旅程充满了期待！她的团队成员包括飞行员母亲比阿特丽斯和飞行员父亲山姆•卢瑟福。
母亲比阿特丽斯说到，第一次听女儿提出这个宏伟的飞行计划时，她的心情其实非常矛盾，会有一些担心，在一段时间心理调整后，她还是坚定地支持女儿去完成心愿，并以她为荣！
父亲山姆说：“这个飞行计划真是太令人兴奋了，我能预见到其中的风险，但我相信扎拉一定能够克服它，去完成自己的理想。我为她的选择感到骄傲，这不仅是扎拉自己的选择，更有意义的是，她可以为女性进入STEM和飞行领域创造公平的竞争环境。我想这是非常了不起的！”
明年，扎拉将开启大学生活。她梦想着有朝一日能够成为一名宇航员。扎拉说：“让我们拭目以待，这一切真是太神奇了。我喜欢冒险，我想太空那边可能会有最伟大的冒险。”

Teenager’s quest begins to be youngest female to fly the globe
By Aurora Wang
All eyes are on distant skies now teen pilot Zara Rutherford has begun her epic world record bid. The 19-year-old safely took off to start a three-month effort to become the youngest female to fly solo around the world.
Rutherford left Kortrijk-Wevelgem Airport in western Belgium in her Shark ultralight*, the world’s fastest microlight* aircraft.
The British-Belgian flyer hopes her voyage* will encourage more girls to study and later work as women in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics), and spark girls’ interest in aviation*.
“Growing up, I loved aviation and STEM – science, technology, engineering and mathematics, but I didn’t see many other women or girls doing that. I just always thought that was quite sad or discouraging*,” Ms Rutherford told Reuters. “I’m hoping that I can encourage girls to go into this field.”
The young adventurer is seeking to win the title from Shaesta Wais, the Afghan-American pilot who became the youngest woman to fly solo around the world at the age of 30.
The youngest male record holder, Mason Andrews, was 18 years old when he made the journey.
Ms Rutherford’s route began on August 18 and will take about three months, with stops in 52 countries – including Greenland, China and Nicaragua. Along the way, she will stay with local families or in hotels. Getting sufficient recovery time along the way would be a key priority. Ms Rutherford said that fatigue* was always a significant factor when flying long-distance.
“I make sure I’m always well rested,” she said. “There’s some more logistical* complications weatherwise that could delay some days, but I’m looking forward to it and I’ve got a great team supporting me.”
That team includes her parents, Beatrice and Sam Rutherford, who are both pilots.
Mum Beatrice said there were “obviously mixed feelings” when her daughter first announced the ambitious plan.
“When she first told me about it, my heart skipped a beat,” she said. “It took me a bit of time to digest and now I’m so proud and fully, fully behind her.”
“It’s really exciting,” said Ms Rutherford’s dad Sam. “I see the risks, I understand them, but so does she.
“I’m really proud of what she’s doing, not just for herself but also in this ability to level the playing field for women getting into STEM and aviation. I think it’s fantastic.”
Rutherford will start university next year, with the “huge dream” of one day becoming an astronaut.
“We’ll see how that goes, but that would be amazing,” she said.
“I love adventure and I think space is probably the biggest adventure out there.”

日本科研报道表明，狗可以识别谎言和不诚实的人
中文小主播：项琦琪
日本方面称：众所周知，狗拥有许多优秀的特质：突出的嗅觉、高警惕性和忠诚度。日本东京大学的Akiko Takaoka的研究团队表明：狗具有辨别真相的本领。
狗比人的嗅觉强10万倍，而且它还具有超强识别人类行为的能力，日本科学家称狗可以识别你有没有撒谎。
这项实验分为了三个阶段，实验对象是34只犬科动物。
第一阶段，研究人员把食物藏在碗里，指着碗向狗发出口令，当狗跑过来时，它看到了碗里的食物。
第二阶段，研究人员指着空碗发出了指令，当狗跑来时，它发现是一个空碗。
第三阶段，当研究人员再次指向装满食物的碗，并发出指令时，狗拒绝相信指令。
在实验的第三阶段中，34只犬科动物都没对指令产生回应。科学家认为这个行为暗示了犬科动物会根据以往的经验，对发出指令的研究人员产生不信任感。很长时间以来，人们认为指向一个物体发出指令，就能召唤小狗，而此次研究人员在实验数据中有了不同的发现。
首席研究员Takaoka 称：“狗的社会智力比我们想象的成熟，这是因为它和人类长期相处中发生的选择性进化。
Takaoka还称她非常震惊地发现，狗在此次实验后会迅速降低对人的依赖感，这项实验表明了狗能够识别欺骗，也或者会因此而产生信任危机。

Dogs can recognize liars and dishonest people – Japanese study
By Kenneth
JAPAN: Dogs are known for a variety of qualities with the standout ones being strong sense of smell, alertness and loyalty. However, one study that was performed by researcher Akiko Takaoka and team at Kyoto University in Japan found that dogs had the ability to smell out the truth.
A dog’s sense of smell is believed to be 100,000 times stronger than a human. Dogs, it appears, are more skilled at picking up on human behaviour than you’d like to believe. According to the team of scientists in Japan, dogs can tell if you’re telling the truth or not.
The research was a three-stage experiment which involved 34 canine participants.
In the first stage, researchers pointed towards bowls filled with hidden food and noticed as the dogs ran towards it.
The second stage saw the dogs being signalled towards empty bowls, and they rushed towards it as well, but found them empty.
When they pointed to bowls filled with food in the third stage, the dogs appeared to be refusing to believe the signal.
None of the 34 dogs responded in the third stage of the experiments. The scientists believe this implies that the canines unanimously found the person pointing wasn’t trustworthy due to the previous experience. For a long time, humans have understood that pointing at an object causes a dog to run to it. This data was used by the team in their research.
Lead researcher Takaoka said, “Dogs have more sophisticated social intelligence than we thought. This social intelligence evolved selectively in their long-life history with humans,”
Takaoka added that she was shocked that dogs were quick when they “devalued the reliability of a person.”This experiment presumably indicates that dogs can detect deception or that they have significant trust difficulties.

东京残奥会女子400米田径赛，刘翠青破赛会纪录夺冠
中文小主播：徐晓萌
东京残奥会女子400米T11级（视力障碍）决赛中，中国选手刘翠青以56秒25的成绩获得金牌，并打破残奥会纪录，刘翠青和她的领跑员徐冬林，一起登上了领奖台。
据悉，刘翠青和领跑员徐冬林在赛场上已相伴8年，在赛场上，他们靠10厘米的牵引绳并肩作战，对刘翠青来说，这根绳子就是她的眼睛，她说，如果能重见光明，我希望见一下我的领跑员。
刘翠青1991年出生于南宁，在她10岁时，因眼疾未及时治疗而失明，在南宁市聋哑学校就读期间，在老师的引导下一点点与田径结缘。2010年，她入选国家残疾人田径队，她说，因为看不到，总怕前面有障碍物，开始学习时，动作会比别人慢一点。但在领跑员徐冬林耐心的指引下，她有了更多信心。
刘翠青在跑弯道、直道的时候，全靠徐冬林的牵引绳给她指令。徐冬林介绍，比如跑弯道的时候，我的手向内侧弯一点，她就能感觉得出来，快到终点了，我的手往后一放，她就知道要到终点。他们的默契度像双胞胎一样，在刘翠青看来，这10厘米的牵引绳不是普通的绳子，而是百分之百的信任。
此前，徐冬林曾和搭档一起获得过世界冠军和残奥会冠军，却因为当时的规定无法登上领奖台。直到2012年伦敦残奥会后，国际残奥委作出新的规定，领跑员和盲人运动员可以一起领奖，他才登上了领奖台，看着国旗冉冉升起，与运动员共同分享荣誉的一刻。

LIU Cuiqing won women 400m T11 (Kirk revision)
By Emily
In women’s 400m T11 (vision impairment) final at the Tokyo Paralympics, Chinese athlete LIU Cuiqing won the gold medal with a new event record of 56”25. LIU and her guide, XU Donglin, mounted the medal podium together.
LIU Cuiqing and XU Donglin have paired up for 8 years in the track. They raced together with a 10cm leash in between. The leash is just like eyes for LIU. She says that if she could regain her sight one day, she would love to see her guide with her own eyes.
LIU Cuiqing was born in Nanning in 1991. When she was 10, she lost her sight due to delay in her eye treatment. When she studied at Nanning School for Deaf-Mutes, she started the journey in track & field with guidance from her teacher. In 2010, she was recruited into the national para-track & field team. She says that her vision impairment created fear of obstacles ahead and rendered her slower than others at the beginning. But thanks to the patient directions from XU Donglin, she got more confident.
LIU relies totally on the instructions from XU’s leash at the curved and straight paths. XU says that he flicks his hand inwards at curved paths to send a signal; when he stretches his hand backwards, LIU will know that destination is “in sight.” The team works so well and looks like twins. In LIU’s opinion, the 10cm leash is more than an ordinary rope; it is a symbol of 100% trust.
Previously, XU won world championships and paralympics championships with his partner but wasn’t allowed to get on the podium due to the old rule. The International Paralympic Committee revised the rule after the 2012 London Paralympics to allow guides to join the blind athletes in the awarding ceremony. He finally made it onto the podium to witness the rise of the national flag and share the glory with the athlete.

Check Out The First 3D-Printed Steel Bridge Recently Unveiled In Europe
By Jefflin
Following four years of planning and research, the world’s first 3D printed footbridge recently opened to the public in Europe.
The almost 40-foot bridge, unveiled last month, was built by Dutch company MX3D and will serve as a “living laboratory[ləˈbɒrətri] ” in Amsterdam’s city center.
Researchers and engineers at Imperial [ɪm’pɪərɪəl] College London were able to 3D-print the bridge — which now serves pedestrians [pəˈdestriən]and cyclists[ˈsaɪklɪst] crossing Amsterdam’s Oudezijds Achterburgwal canal.
“A 3D-printed metal structure large and strong enough to handle pedestrian[pəˈdestriən] traffic has never been constructed before,” said Imperial College London professor Leroy Gardner in a news release.
Designers first created the concept for the bridge in 2015, with the goal of making an “exceptionally[ɪkˈsepʃənəli] efficient [ɪˈfɪʃnt ]structure,” emphasizing[ˈemfəsaɪzɪŋ] both simplicity [sɪmˈplɪsəti] and safety, according to Popular Mechanics [məˈkænɪks].
“We have tested and simulated [ˈsɪmjuleɪtɪd the structure and its components [kəmˈpəʊnənts] throughout the printing process and upon its completion [kəmˈpliːʃn], and it’s fantastic to see it finally open to the public,” Gardner said.
Now that the bridge is unveiled, researchers at Imperial [ɪm’pɪərɪəl] College London will begin collecting data in real-time to monitor how it behaves with foot and cyclist [ˈsaɪklɪst] traffic.
“Research into this new technology for the construction industry[ˈɪndəstri] has huge potential[ pəˈtenʃ] for the future,” said Imperial College London co-contributor[ kənˈtrɪbjətə(r)] Dr. Craig Buchanan [bjuˈkænən]. “It has been fascinating and we are delighted that the structure is now ready to be used.”
