The Super Bus can do the work of 40 buses. In that way, it can save 860 tons of fuel (燃料) every year, according to Song.
“To build a Super Bus and its track costs less than building subways. Subways are nearly ten times more expensive to build.” Song said.
Some people worry that the Super Bus may not be safe. However, Song says there’s no need for concern. The Super Bus has laser scanners (激光扫描仪) between its legs. The scanners make sure the cars keep a safe distance.

Get ready! Five, four, three, two, one, blast off(发射)! With the last words, five rockets flew up into the sky.
These were not real rockets taking off, though. They were model rockets made by students from Beijing No. 65 Middle School. Using the science knowledge they had learned in class, the students built the rockets all by themselves.
Last week, students from different schools in Beijing also came to No. 65 Middle School to show off their good work at the opening of “Love Science Month”. It runs from the middle of October to mid-November.
Besides rockets, students also showed off robots, model cars and other machines they had made.
“Love Science Month” is very popular, for students can learn and have fun at the same time.
On Monday, students from No. 35 Middle School saw some real airplanes at Beijing Aviation Museum(北京航空博物馆). They were very excited.
“I have seen the biggest plane here and the one that flies highest,”said junior(初级的) student Zhong Zhenping.“I have learned a lot about planes here. I will study hard and become a pilot when I grow up.”he said.
There will be many other interesting science activities this month. Students will study space and the history of spaceflight, and also take part in competitions.
These will include making models of buildings, cars and planes.
With Yang Liwei becoming China’s first spaceman, students now want to know more about the science behind sending people into space.
Tu Yuanhua, a teacher from Dongcheng Student Science and Technology Center said, “ShenzhouⅩhas made students more interested in science. Through ‘Love Science Month’, they are learning a lot about it.”
