In March 2019, at the age of 21, Margo Hayes became the first woman to finish three of the world’s hardest
climbs when she successfully reached the top of Papichulo in Spain. She had already climbed La Rambla, Spain
and Biografie, France in 2017. She was only 19 when she became the first woman to climb La Rambla, which is
one of the hardest rock faces in the world to climb. It seems this young woman from Boulder, Colorado was certain
to become a record-breaking climber.
She comes from a family of climbers, so that helps! Her grandfather was the expedition (探险队) leader on a
new way to the top of Mount Everest in 1983 and her father has climbed many of the rock walls of Yosemite
Valley, California. But that’s not enough. Talent and training play an important part. Margo was a talented gymnast
(体操运动员) and at the age of six, she was training for an Olympic gold medal. Unluckily, she had to give up
gymnastics because of a serious accident, but by the age of ten, she had joined Team ABC, a well-known training
group for young climbers in Texas.
You won’t be surprised to hear that Margo is very serious about her sport. She always has new goals she
wants to achieve. She organizes her training and climbs with the greatest precision. She believes a full planning
before a climb is necessary for success. You can’t risk making mistakes when you’re high up on a rock face. Before
she starts a climb, she chooses the best way and plans every move she’ll make on the rock face. She says it’s an
amazing feeling to finish a climb that you have been imagining in your head for so long. She enjoys her climbs and
loves the feel of the rock as well as the views of fantastic scenery. Reaching the top is an exciting experience.

A couple of university students created the Plufl. It is the world’s first dog bed for humans.
If you are thinking that the Plufl is just an oversized dog bed, you are right. However, according to its
creators, the University of British Columbia students Noah Silverman and Yuki Kinoshita, it is much more than
that. The Plufl can provide the most comfortable sleeping experience and a feeling of safety. It is helpful to people
who have sleeping problems. The price of the Plufl is $400. Although it is not the cheapest dog bed in the world,
the Plufl seems to have a lot of fans.
Noah Silverman and Yuki Kinoshita thought of the idea of a dog bed for humans while they were hanging
out at a coffee shop. They made friends with both a lady and her pet dog called Coco. They saw Coco sleeping in
its custom-made bed. This made Noah ask himself, “Why can’t people have this?” So he put his idea into practice
with Yuki.
Unlike an actual dog bed, the Plufl is much more comfortable. The foam cushion (泡沫垫) allows users to
rest their heads on it when they want. Also, each bed has a bag so that it can be easily kept.
The shape of the bed is as cute as the fetal position (胎儿睡姿). It is the most common and comfortable sleep
form according to research. And the thick pillow allows users to curl (卷) up their hands and feet, so they have a
feeling of safety. Noah thinks it will be popular with people.
30．How did Noah have the idea of creating the Plufl?
A．By reading at a coffee shop. B．By asking a lady at a coffee shop.
C．By seeing a dog sleeping in its bed. D．By talking with Yuki Kinoshita at a coffee shop.
31．What can’t give users a comfortable sleeping experience?
A．The foam cushion. B．The bag of each bed.
C．The shape of the bed. D．The bed’s thick pillow.
32．What does the underlined word “It” refer to in Paragraph 5?
A．The fetal position. B．The creator’s practice.
C．The sleeping experience. D．The feeling of safety.
33．In which section of the newspaper would you probably read this article?
A．History. B．Science. C．Education. D．Environment.
