Cats are often considered lazy. They love napping( 打 盹 ) on their own comfortable beds.However, as Gary the cat shows us, some kittens also love adventure.

Gary is a five-year-old long-haired cat. He goes on camping trips in the Rockies(落基山脈) with his owners every weekend. The cat has his own social media page. He can often be seen exploring snowy peaks( 高 峰 ) in a warm jacket. The cat also enjoys taking pictures with his dog brothers.

James Eastham is Gary’s “dad” and his social media manager. Eastham met Gary when the cat was about two years old. It turned out that Gary was born with an interest in exploring the great outdoors. He would manage to escape from Eastham’s apartment several times every month. Eastham and his wife then started to take Gary out for walks.

Shortly after that, the Easthams moved to the mountains. Slowly, Gary went on bigger and bigger adventures. He started with the family’s yard and then parks. As Gary became more comfortable outside, his owners took him on trips to more distant(遙遠(yuǎn)的) places and for longer periods of time. Eventually, Gary was ready for the mountains and all the fun outdoor activities. This past winter, Gary even tried skiing for the first time.

When he is tired, Gary will just “hitch a ride( 搭便車(chē))” on his owners.“These days, he prefers to ride on my shoulders instead of in his pack,” said Eastham.

According to Eastham, outdoor adventures seem to have been good for Gary. The cat used to be shy. Now, he has become much more confident around strangers. “He has even gotten friendlier,” said Eastham.

Gary has become one of the most famous cats on the internet. However, it seems the fame hasn’t gone to his head. “Gary is still a cat,” said Eastham. “It mostly only cares about having enough treats(美餐) every day.”

Basketball, running and swimming are popular events(項(xiàng)目)at the Olympics. But there are also some events that are not as popular. Some are even very strange. Let's see if you have any knowledge about the following events.

Tug-of-war

This event started in 1900 and left the Olympics in 1920. The team wins if they pull the rope past a certain point first. Interestingly, more than one team from a country can enter in this event. This makes it possible for one country to win several medals.

Rope climbing

It first appeared as an Olympic sport in 1896. The climber who spends the shortest time reaching the top is the winner. The rope used to be 15 meters long. Years later, it was shortened to 8 meters for some reason. After 1932, there was no rope climbing in the Olympics.

Race walking

In race walking, walkers have to win the race by walking. To make sure that they do not run, race walkers must have one foot on the ground at all times. Race walking has been an Olympic sport since 1904. Men enter in 20 kilometer and 50 kilometer races; women only race 20 kilometers.
