Here are some climbing spots for climbers. Acadia National Park, Maine This popular New England park is one of the few places where you can climb seaside rocks. The granite (花岗岩) is good for climbing. In some areas, you need to start when the sea is at its lowest level. The area has guides, instructors and climbing schools, making it particularly welcoming for beginners. More information: nps.gov/acad Red River Gorge, Kentucky This geological area in Daniel Boone National Forest is prized for its climbing routes and rock scenery. The park, located an hour’s drive southeast of Lexington, is well-known in the climbing world for both beginner-friendly terrain(地形) and more challenging sections. It’s a place where you can find a lot of fellow climbers. More information:fs.usda.gov/recarea City of Rocks, Idaho This national reserve near the Utah border is worth a trip for the scenery alone. Named by gold miners heading to California in 1849, its granite looks like skyscrapers, towering 600 feet above the ground. It’s a fascinating area from a geologic and geographic angle. Many visitors come for August’s Idaho Mountain Festival, a celebration of climbing with top athletes in attendance. More information:nps.gov/ciro Earth Treks Englewood, Colorado While you can find climbing gyms across the country, this one just south of Denver is worth a special trip.

I had just pulled into the local gas station to fill my tank. After pumping the gas I started to walk inside to pay. That is when I noticed them. Two elderly women stood back from their car. There was a mixture of shock, fear, and horror on their faces. I looked and saw what they saw. Five yellow jackets had started to build a nest around their gas cap. My eyes widened. I shared the ladies’ fear. Yellow jackets had never been friends of mine. Several times these bad tempered wasps(黄 蜂) had attacked me while I was mowing my lawn giving me multiple stings(叮咬) each time I ran over their ground nests. They are the reason why I never repair my lawn in shorts anymore. The worst time, however, happened when I was a young boy. A friend of mine and I were running and playing in my backyard. I must have stepped on one of their hidden nests again because before I knew it both of us were being chased and stung over and over by the yellow jackets while we ran away screaming. I ran to my Mom with tears in my eyes. She immediately ran a cold bath and put us both in it to ease the pain and itching( 发痒) before giving us medicine to fight all the poison in our little bodies from the stings. Still, I knew I couldn’t let fear stop me now. I reached into my back pocket for a paper towel I had there, tore out the nest and stepped on it while the angry wasps buzzed around me.

By spraying some medicine B. By destroying their homes. C. By covering their nests with paper. D. By burning down them. C As data and identity theft become more and more common, the market is growing for biometric (生物测量) technologies---like fingerprint scans—to keep others out of private e- spaces. At present, these technologies are still expensive, though. Researchers from Georgia Tech say that they have come up with a low-cost device that gets around this problem: a smart keyboard. This smart keyboard precisely measures the cadence(节 奏) with which one types and the pressure fingers apply to each key. The keyboard could offer a strong layer of security by analyzing things like the forces of a user’s typing and the time between key presses. These patterns are unique to each person. Thus, the keyboard can determine people’s identities, and by extension, whether they shoul
