Many climbers now enjoy bouldering. It39。s more accessible and better for the environment.What is bouldering?Bouldering is a sport that involves climbing on, over, and around boulders up to approximately twenty feet above the ground. Participants employ no safety ropes.Why boulder??improve your climbing skills by focusing on basics?places to climb, such as climbing walls at gyms and parks, easy to find?less time mitment to bouldering than to mountain climbing?intellectual and physical enjoyment as one solves problemsBouldering Termscrimp: a very small handholdfoothold: a place where one may place a foot to aid in climbing boulderjug: a very large handhold that is easy to useproblem: The path up a boulder is referred to as the “problem” that one must solve. The “solution” is the sequence of moves one makes up and over a boulder. Here is an example of a climber addressing a bouldering problem. Figure 1: The climber has two routes she could take, one to the left and one to the right. The left one appears easier because it has a jug within easy reach, but look what happens if she chooses that direction. She gets stuck on the rock and has to go back down. Sometimes that is even difficult than going up. Figure 2: The climber takes the one to the right this time. using a foothold and placing her right hand in a crimp, she is able to life herself up and locate other handholds. After only a few moves, she is able to throw her leg over the top of the boulder and pull herself up.（1）According to the passage, bouldering ________. A.is an indoor sportB.has no safety protectionC.needs maps and equipmentD.is a steep cliff climbing（2）Bouldering bees popular because ________.

That is the shared dream of the toy maker Hasbro and scientists at Brown University in Providence, Rhode Island. The researchers received a $ 3milliondollar award from the National Science Foundation for a special project. They want to find ways to add artificial intelligence, or ., to Hasbro39。s “Joy for All” robotic The cat has already been for sale for two years. Though priced over 1000 dollars, it sold quite well. It was meant to act as a “panion” for older people. Now the project is aimed at developing additional abilities for the cat. Researchers at Brown39。s HumanityCentered Robotics Initiative are working to decide which activities older adults may need the most. They hope to make the cat perform a small number of activities very well. Such activities include finding lost objects and reminding the person to take medicine or visit their doctor. They also want to keep the cost down to just a few hundred dollars. It is an idea that has appealed to Jeanne Elliott. Her 93yearold mother Mary Derr lives with her in South Kingstown. Derr has dementia (癡呆). The Joy for All cat that Elliott bought this year has bee a true panion for Derr. The cat stays with Derr and keeps her calm while Elliott is at work. Elliott said a robotic cat that helps her mother to remember to take her medicine and be careful when she walks would be greater. The researchers are trying to learn how the improved cats will plete helpful activities and how they will municate. They say that they do not want a talking cat, however. Instead they are trying to design a cat that can move its head in a special way to successfully municate its message. In the end, they hope to create an exchange between the human and the cat in which the human feel
