But things get considerably tricky if instead of hiking shoes you put on a pair of 5-inch high heels, especially if youre a guy. One English teenager recently proved that it was not impossible.Ben Conway, a 19-yea-old art student from, London, recently took up the challenge as a way to stand out in an application for a scholarship for the School of munication Arts in Brixton. He started his unusual high-heel climb at 8 a. m., on June 27, and was joined by Callum MacKenzie Allen, a friend from his art foundation year, who videotaped the whole thing for a two-minute video that served as his application project. The whole climb took five hours and wasnt the smoothest experience.Halfway up Ben Navis, one of his shoes broke, so he had to tape the shoes to his feet to make sure they stayed on. The weather didnt make it easy for himeither, as he claimed that it rained pretty much the whole time, and he had to go against 40 to 50 miles an hour winds. Due to these difficult conditions, Ben and his friend had to turn back after reaching 900 meters up the mountain.Apart from providing a unique art school application project, the high-heel climb also allowed the 19-year-old to raise some money for worthy causes, like Sals Shoes, which provides footwear for barefoot children around the world.“Raising money for charity brings happiness to peoples lives and if I can do something ridiculous and bring someone happiness, then thats what its all about.” Ben said.24.

The terrible weather. D. The unexpected incident.27. What can best describe Bens story?A. Puzzling.B. Inspiring.C. Exciting. D. Frightening.CIts OK to say youve never heard of grimeunless youre from the UK. Thats because this music was invented in the UK in the early xxs.To someone whos not familiar with underground music culture, its easy to get confused between hip-hop and grime since they are both noisy. And many people didnt bother to tell them apart, until earlier this month when grime stars like Stormzy and J Hus led this years Mobo “music of black origin”award nominations (提名) in the UK.Just like UK electronic music and hip-hop, from which grime drew influence, it mostly reflects the thoughts of young people. But different from hip-hop, grime singers sing in dialects with strong accents, giving a special flavor to their songs.Lady Leshurr, known as the Grime Queen said that she once tried to hide her accent, as she didnt want people to judge her. But one day, she realized that she didnt need to change herself just to please others. And theres no doubt that this is the most basic and important quality of grime music: be yourself.Also different from the hip-hop culture, which usually focuses on being rich, grime singers pay more attention to social phenomena like the European refugee problem and the gap between the rich and poor.Although still quite young, grime seems to be getting favored by more and more people. In xx, the English grime artist Skepta won the Mercury Prize with his album Konnichiwa, beating big names like David Bowie and Radiohead. However, no matter whether grime is one day accepted by the mainstream music world or not, one thing is for sure: in grime, singers always stay true to themselves.28. What do hip-hop and grime music have in mon?A. They are originated in the UK. B. They make a lot of loud noise.C. They challenge traditional cultures. D. They are full of creative ideas.29. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 3 refer to?A. Electronic music.B. Hip-hop. C. Grime music.D. Black music.30. What can be learned about grime singers?A. They care too much about themselves. B. They refuse to be judged by others.C. They tend to take social responsibility. D. They show strong independence qualities.31. What does Skeptas success suggest?A. Grime is gradually getting recognized. B. Singers should try to be themselves.C. Grime has bee mainstream music. D. It is easy to win the Mercury Prize.DChildren of all ages gathered in New York City recently for the International Toy pair. Hidden among already popular toys were new, high-tech educational products. Toymakers are working to create these products for improving a childs emotional intelligence.panies showed off their products last week at New Yorks Jacob Javitz Convention Center.PleIQ is a set of plastic toy blocks. It uses visual reality technology to teach words, numbers and other things, Edison Durn directs the pany that makes PleIQ. She showed people at the toy fair how virtual images appear on the blocks when they are held in front of a tablet camera, PleIQ has children act as teacher or guide to a panion character.On the other side of the convention center, Karen Hu from another pany demonstrated an educational robot called Woobo. The robot es programmed with educational games and activities. Children use its touch screen face to get them started. Hu described how the robot can help a child who has autism (自闭症). “The child can municate with Woobo and follow some of the instructions Woobo is giving because he thinks of this as a panion instead of a parent or someone else telling him to certain things.”At the EQtainment stand，sales director Jonathan Erickson explained the panys toys. “The purpose of all of our products is to develop emotional and social intelligence” he said Erickson showed off a board game called “Qs Race to the Top”.

Like, Hey, what does it feel like to be sad? Or how does it feel like to be happy?”It remains to be seen whether a game or toy can improve emotional intelligence.
