Japanese researchers are testing ut technlgy that allws them t cntrl cckraches, and it has been prpsed that the insect culd help ut arund the huse.
Cybrg cckraches may be the future f high tech hme living. Japanese researchers installed electrdes, a chip, antenna, a battery and a pixel strapped nt the raches' back, which can be prgrammed t transprt bjects arund the hme as well as draw n paper and can even act as an audi device.
While typical rbtics devices may find it difficult t cntrl and perfrm tasks in small spaces, the cybrg raches are able t ram freely inside hmes and are designed t carry ut a variety f small tasks.

Prcrastinatin is defined as "the actin f delaying r pstpning smething". In mdern life, this can refer t anything—whether it be husewrk, cmpleting a reprt fr wrk, r writing just an essay.

It definitely seems like the height f Everest(珠穆朗玛峰) is smething we shuld knw by nw, right? But, believe it r nt, it's actually a matter f serius scientific debate. S hw d yu measure a muntain? Maybe yu culd cunt yur steps r use a really big tape measure.
The main technique that's been used fr hundreds f years is maths, r trignmetry, t be precise. Surveyrs measure tw pints n the grund and frm each pint they measure the angle between them and the tp f the muntain t give them a triangle. Using thse triangles and the laws f trignmetry, they can calculate the height f the muntain. The first persn t measure Everest using that methd was, Drumrll Gerge Everest back in 1856. T get the angles, he had t use these things, thedlites, which weighed abut 500 kils. Fast frward t the 1950s, and surveyrs gt a bit f help frm phtgrammetry, detailed phts taken frm the air that they culd use t measure heights and distances. Nw we have even fancier technlgy t measure muntains, the Glbal Psitining System r GPS. Surveyrs can bring a GPS receiver t the tp f the muntain, where satellites in space can pick up their lcatin and wrk ut the height.
It lks very easy t get the height f Everest. Well, it’s nt quite. That 8,848 meter measurement that Ggle gave actually came frm an Indian survey frm way back in 1955. Since then, there have been a bunch f ther surveys which fund slightly different measurements. There's debate ver whether peple shuld cunt the snw n tp, r just the rck underneath, and there's a pssibility that the height has actually changed because f ersin and earthquakes. In fact, scientists reckn this earthquake in Nepal in 2015 might have kncked sme height ff this very high muntain. S with n climbers arund because f Cvid-19, the Chinese gvernment decided it was time fr a re-measure.
Recently, a grup f surveyrs made it t the summit with satellite receivers that they're hping will give the mst accurate measurement f Everest yet. They're als the first and prbably the nly grup t summit Everest this year, thanks t Cvid-19. It might help peple t agree n the height f this massive muntain.
1. Hw did surveyrs get the height f Everest?
A. Cunted their steps
B. Used a really big tape measure.
C. The main technique was trignmetry
D. By Ggle
2. What can peple knw abut Drumrll Gerge Everest frm the passage?

3.Hw did methds f measurement develp?
A. Frm maths t phtgrammetry t GPS
B. Frm thedlites t phtgrammetry t GPS
C. Frm maths t phtgrammetry t satellite
D. Frm phtgrammetry t GPS t satellite
4. Frm the third paragraph, we can knw ___________.
A. measurements abut the height f Everest have big difference
B. surveyrs are very certain abut whether they shuld cunt the snw n tp, r just the rck underneath
C. ersin and earthquakes are pssible t influence the height f Everest.
