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.

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.

Unlike an actual dog bed, the Plufl is much more comfortable. The foam cushion (泡沫墊) 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 (胎兒睡姿). 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.

A survey on weekly smartphone use
Recently, we did a survey on weekly smartphone use of 1400 eighth graders in Guangzhou Middle School. Here is the result.
According to the survey, 55% of the students use smartphones to search for information and study English. On the other hand, 45% of the students use smartphones to play games and watch short videos. Using smartphones has both advantages and disadvantages. On the positive side, smartphones can be very helpful for learning. They provide easy access to a vast amount of information and educational resources. However, there are also some drawbacks. Excessive use of smartphones can waste a lot of time and money. Moreover, it can lead to addiction and distract students from their studies.
In my opinion, students should use smartphones wisely. They should set a time limit for non-educational activities and focus more on using smartphones as a tool for learning.2024廣州滬教牛津版八年級英語上學期期中檢測試題
