AA Chinese couple tried to name their baby "@", saying the character best represents their love for the child,according to an official trying to whip the national language into shape. The unusual name stands out especiallyin Mandarin , which has no alphabet（字母表）and instead uses tens of thousands of multi-stroke (多笔画的)characters to represent words. "The whole world uses it to write emails, and translated into Chinese it means'love him'", the father explained, according to the deputy chief of the State Language Commission Li Yuming.While the @ symbol is familiar to Chinese email users, they often use the English word "at" to sound it out.With a drawn-out "t", this sounds something like "ai ta", or "love him", to Mandarin speakers. Li says the nameis an extreme example of people's increasingly adventurous approach to Mandarin, as commercialization and theInternet break down conventions (习俗).Another couple tried to give their child a name that in English sounds like "King Osrina".Li did not say if officials accepted the "＠"name. But earlier this year the government announced a ban on names using Arabic numerals（阿拉伯数字）and foreign languages. Sixty million Chinese face the problem that their names use ancient characters so uncommon that computers cannotrecognize them and even fluent speakers are left scratching their heads, said Li, according to a transcript on the government website. One of them is the former Premier Zhu Rongji, whose name has a rare "rong" character that gives newspaper editors headaches.1. Why did the Chinese couple try to name their baby"@"?A.

Here，people are learning on special climbing walls. The climbing wall goes straight up and has small holding places for hands and feet.How do people climb the wall?
