Everyone faces difficulties in their life. Daniel Kish was born with a special eye illness and lost his eyesight before he was only 14 months old.

Soon after, however, he started to do an amazing thing. He learned to make clicks(咔哒声) with his tongue to help him move around. Kish now moves about using sonar(声呐). He is so good at it that he can ride a bicycle by himself on public roads. And he started the organization World Access for the Blind(WAFTB) in 2000, teaching others how to use sonar. In the interview with National Geographic, he explains how the sonar works.

“When I make a click sound, it produces sound waves. These waves reflect(反射) off surfaces all around and return to my ears. My brain then deals with the sound and turns it into pictures in my mind. Each click is like a camera flash, which helps me make a 3-D picture of my surroundings for hundreds of feet. It’s like having a conversation with the environment.”

Kish feels it is exciting to ride a bike using a sonar, although he needs to click twice a second, much more than he usually does. “It may sound a bit dangerous to move around the world in this way,” he says. “But most people in the world live in fear of things that they imagine. I love hiking and mountain-biking. I go almost everywhere. And I’ve never had an accident and hurt myself.”

He is happy to be able to help more blind children to improve their life. “We’ve served over 10, 000 students in nearly 40 countries,” he tells the reporter. “Many students are surprised how quickly results come. Seeing isn’t in the eyes. It’s in the mind.”

③The brain turns the sound into pictures.

④The sound waves reach the person’s ears.

A. ①④③②        B. ②①④③            C. ①④②③            D. ②③①④

6. What can we learn about World Access for the Blind( WAFTB ) from the passage?

School Gardens Could Help Children Try More Vegetables

It’s not always enjoyable for children to eat vegetables. But what if a garden is built in the school? New research suggests that a gardening program in schools can increase children’s vegetable intake( 摄入量 ) .

How the Study Was Carried Out

The study was carried out in eight schools. Each school was in the gardening program for one school year. Every child in grades 3-5 received a total of eighteen 60-minute lessons across the school year. In the program, each school built a garden, where children learned to grow their own fresh produce, like fruit and vegetables.

The Benefits Children Could Get

The study found that vegetable intake if the children who grew their own produce increased greatly across the year. Related studies show that increased vegetable intake can improve health and cut the risk of chronic diseases( 慢性疾病 ). Not only are there benefits to health, increasing the variety of vegetables children are exposed( 接触 )to may also make mealtimes much easier.” Children who are often exposed to a variety of vegetables are more likely to try new foods,” explains Dr. Kerry Jones. For children, growing their own food is a powerful tool to increase their intake of the food.

28

Any opportunity to expose children to more vegetables is meaningful. “If children are learning about vegetables at school, it’s important to encourage this interest,” says Jones. Parents can listen to their children about what they have learned and read the handouts they bring home from school. Parents and children can also read books together.  Younger children can enjoy reading stories about vegetables with parents who offer useful messages. Older children may enjoy searching through cookbooks with parents to find new dinner ideas to cook vegetables in a tasty way. Besides, a small planter box in a sunny part at home can encourage children to understand more about where their food comes from.

Teaching children to grow their own produce is a great way to increase their preference for the produce. If children are taught to enjoy vegetables early in life, they will probably continue eating vegetables in the long term.

1 ． What did children do in the gardening program?

A ． They did research on new plants. B ． They grew fresh produce at school.

C ． They took home green vegetables D ． They built gardens for their classes.

2 ． Which of the following would be the best heading for Paragaph4?

A ． Ideas to Encourage Children to Cook at Home

B ． Ways to Expose Children to Vegetables at Home

C ． Reasons Why Parents Should Understand Children

D ． Suggestions Which Children Could Get from Parents

3 ． What can we learn from the program?

A ． Parents’ support might improve children’s reading.

B ． School programs could develop students’ creativity.

C ． Doing studies can prepare students for future learning.

D ． Hands-on experience may influence children’s preference.

As a mountain, 1,642-foot Squaw Peak isn’t that impressive. But its views attract many hikers （远足者） . Henry Grant, a college student at Ithaca College, was one of them.

While waiting for his mother one day in August, 2019, Grant watched other hikers enjoy the view. One hiker, dressed in pink, was looking over the lip of the cliff （悬崖） with her husband.

When Grant’s mother rejoined him, the two continued on their way. Suddenly, he heard something scaring: “Paula! Paula!” a man shouted crazily. Grant turned around quickly.  ________

Several hikers immediately started looking for her, but their view was screened by trees. Uncertain they could help, Grant and his mother headed down the trail. But when he saw some hikers still searching, he decided to lend a hand. After promising his mother that he would be safe, he went on alone.

After 15 minutes of climbing over large rocks, pushing past bushes, and slipping （滑） down loose earth, Grant found a pink figure. The woman had fallen about 75 feet. Luckily, she was alive.

“Paula! Paula!” Grant shouted. The woman didn’t reply. She was badly hurt. Grant called the police to report her location. She kept trying to move, and every time she moved, she slipped a little more. Afraid that in her unclear state of mind she might fall off the rock to her death, Grant climbed on all fours up a tight, narrow path by digging into the earth with his fingers and feet until he reached Paula.

Paula was moaning, almost senseless. Grant gently put her hand in his, trying to keep her mind off the pain by keeping asking her questions: “Where are you from? Do you have kids?” Soon, they were joined on their perch （歇脚处） by another hiker named Simon.
