    Can you build a robot that opens a door, picks things up, knocks things down or even scores a goal? Students on the robotics team at Discovery School in Oklahoma, US, have already done these things. They won the first place at the State Robotics Championship. In the competition, there were 66 teams from middle schools around the state. They got a box of Lego(乐高)pieces, wheels and motors. Besides building, the team also needed to program their robots. Each team had the same tasks to perform. So how did they score 564 out of 590, the best score? "We use Bluetooth, so we can download information from computer to robot, "said Hugo Reyna, an eighth-grader from the Discovery robotics team. For most teams, wires(电线)were the common tool they used to transfer(传输)information between computer and robot. But the Discovery team started researching Bluetooth transfers, a faster and more convenient way, about one year ago. Then they used the new technology in the competition. And it performed as well as the students hoped.

    In one of the tasks, robots had to toss a ball into the goal. As the robots moved , lots of them tripped over(绊倒)the wires. But the Discovery team's robot was as flexible(灵活的)as a professional basketball player. It won the highest mark from the judges.

    Canada is the second-largest country in the world, with almost 10 million square kilometres of landmass. Due to (由于) its size, it is divided into four different regions(地区).

    The Atlantic Provinces

    Fishing is the old industry in this region. Agricultural crops, such as fruit and potatoes, and forests, which produce paper and lumber(木材), form part of the industry. Traditionally depending on fishing and farming, they are developing other natural resources, such as oil and copper.

    Central Canada

    Ontario and Quebec form the industrial and manufacturing (制造业的) heart of Canada. They produce three quarters of Canada's goods. More than half of Canada's population lives in the cities in the southern part of Ontario and Quebec. Most of the people living in Quebec speak French.

    The West Coast

    The British Columbia Coast is Canada's western continental coastline (海 岸 线 ). Europeans settled (定 居 ) in British Columbia in the early 1800s. The railroad built by the government in the late 1800s made moving much easier. Thousands of Chinese came to British Columbia during this period to work on the railroad. British Columbia has the most valuable forest industry in Canada.

Salmon (鲑鱼) fishing is not only a popular sport, but also an important part of the industry. Pacific salmon are exported (出口) all over the world.

    The North

    The Yukon and the Northwest Territories (领土) cover a third of Canada. This huge region has a very small population. Most of the people are natives. There are several native languages, which are equal (平等的) in status (地位) to English and French. During the Gold Rush at the end of the 1800s, thousands of miners (矿工) came to make their fortune (财富). Mining is still an important industry in this region.
