Qualification: Student must be 16 or older.

Prizes: Each winning team is awarded $100,000.

First Robotics Competition

Students work in teams of at least 10 along with 2 adult mentors to design and build an industrial-sized robot. They then must program the robot to compete in a sophisticated field game at competitions. Annual team registration fees are usually about $5,000.

Qualification: High school students in the U.S.,

Prizes: Various scholarships and cash prizes for top scorers.

Technovation Challenge

It is designed to get more girls worldwide interested in coding and computer science. Girls work in teams of 1-5 and with volunteer mentors to use technology to design an app that helps solve real world problems such as climate change and hunger.

Qualification: Must identify as female and be between 10 and 18 years old.

Prizes: Prizes and scholarships up to $2,000.

American Computer Science League

To compete, your school has to have registered and paid the registration fee. Before the competition, the coach teaches coding with a focus on ACSL exam categories. Then, students work in teams of 3 or 5 students to complete four tests. Students can code in Python 3, Java 8, or C++ as defined on the programming platform.

10 . Four of the World’s Toughest Ultramarathons

Ultramarathons, as a niche activity (小众活动), involve longer races than the usual 42.2-kilometer marathon. Here are four of the toughest ultramarathons around the globe, attracting runners to challenge themselves.

Badwater 135

Badwater 135 is a 217-kilometer trek (长途跋涉) from California’s Death Valley to the Mt. Whitney trailhead. Some of the hottest temperatures on Earth have been recorded here, and it’s not unusual for runners to face temperatures around 48.9℃ during the July event. Participants typically dress in white and step only on the road’s white painted markings, as the blacktop (柏油路) melts oboes.

Barkley Marathons

There’s no question that the Barkley Marathons is one tough race, for its 99 percent dropout rate. Since its start in 1986, only 17 people have managed to complete its approximate 161 kilometers. It’s difficult only because there are no markers or aid stations on the course, and runners must find the way without phones or GPS devices, running through the thick forest and climbing up and down mountains.

Marathon des Sables

This 250-kilometer trek through the Sahara Desert began in 1986. Participants have to carry their own food and sleeping equipment for seven days across unending sand, and the temperatures there take over 37.8℃. Participants experience sunbum, poisonous snakes and maybe even sandstorms.

Montane Yukon Arctic Ultra

Known as the world’s coldest and hardest ultramarathon, this February event covers 692 kilometers with a 13-day time limit. Runners can face temperatures well below 0℃, plus the strong cold wind. Fresh snow or high winds can make the journey extremely challenging, while river crossing can be deadly if the ice is unstable.

1. What do Badwater 135 and Marathon des Sables have in common?

A．Runners may encounter wild animals.	B．Runners must wear light-colored clothes.
C．Runners may suffer extreme heat.	D．Runners will be offered enough food.

2. Which is suitable for runners with a good sense of direction?

A．Badwater 135.	B．Barkley Marathons.
C．Marathon des Sables.	D．Montane Yukon Arctic Ultra.

3. What is special about Montane Yukon Arctic Ultra?

A．It sets no road signs.	B．It has a high dropout rate.
C．It involves lots of fun skiing.	D．It covers the longest distance.
