    Everyone faces challenges in their life, but some are more important than others. Daniel Kish had serious problems with his eyes when he was born. And doctors took away both of his eyes before he was fourteen months old.

    Soon after, however, he started to do an amazing thing. He started to make clicking(咔嗒) sounds with his tongue(舌头) to help him move around. Much like a bat(蝙蝠), he now moves about using sonar(声呐). He is so good at it that he can ride a bicycle in traffic. He and his group, World Access for the Blind, teach others how to use sonar. In this interview with National Geographic, Kish explains how the process works.

    How does sonar work?

    "When I make a clicking sound, it makes sound waves. These waves reflect(反射) off surfaces all around and return to my ears. My brain then processes the sounds into images(图像). It's like having a conversation with the environment

    When you click, what do you see in your mind?

    "Each click is like a camera flash. I make a 3D image of the things around me for hundreds of feet in every direction

    What is it like riding a bike using sonar?

    "It's exciting and enjoyable but requires a lot of focus. I click up to two times per second, much more than I usually do."

    Is it dangerous to move around the world in this way?

"Much of the world lives in fear of things that we mostly imagine. I have a habit of climbing anything and everything, but I never broke a bone (骨头) as a kid."

    How challenging is it to teach people to use sonar?

    "Many students are surprised how quickly results come. Seeing isn't in the eyes, it's in the mind."

Rong Zichen, 13, Chengdu

Sichuan Students from different countries share what their school day is like. So I made a report about their school day life.

Amelia Gon, 12. The American School Foundation 

Every morning I get up early to catch the bus. I get to school at about 7: 15 am. After meeting with my friends, we go to our classes. The first class starts at 7: 45. All my classes are 1 hour and 15 minutes long. Between classes, we have a 5-minute break. After the first class, I go to homeroom for 30 minutes. Then, it's time for a break! I eat snacks (零食) and talk with friends. At 10: 00, I walk to my next class. At 11: 30, the third class starts and lunch starts at 12: 50. After lunch, I have the last class, then I take the bus home.

Chelsea Wang, 13. Barker College 

My day starts with my debate (辩论) practice at home because I am on my school debate team. The first class starts at 9: 45 a.m. Normally we have seven classes on Tuesday and six classes on the other school days. The children go to different classrooms for the different subjects. In different classes, we can meet different friends. It is great!

Niu Hanliang, 15. Western Boarding Schools 

Our classes in school end at 3: 15 pm. You also can go to clubs like drama club and the school band from Monday to Thursday. My classes start at 9: 30 am. Monday through Wednesday, we have three classes in the morning. At about 12, we have lunch for about an hour. After that, we have two more classes. At 3 pm, classes end and tutorial (辅导) will start. You can go to any teacher if you have questions. After tutorial ends, I will go to cross country or tennis practice. We have Friday afternoons off.

 阅读下面语篇,从每题所给的A、B、C三个选项中, 选出各题的最佳选项。

 During lunchtime in Shenzhen, workers often line up to buy food from street vendors(小贩). But in the past, they weren't allowed to set up their stalls(摊位) anywhere on the streets in China. The stalls were believed to be bad for the image of a city." We have to keep the streets clean and tidy," the city government of Beijing once said.

 Things, though, began to change in recent months. In March, Shanghai and Hangzhou worked out detailed plans for stall businesses. And now Shenzhen is also preparing to welcome back street vendors. On April 28, it announced new guidelines on the management of street vending. Under the rules, street vendors will be allowed to operate in certain areas within the city. The new rules worked out on September 1,2023.

 Most people are glad to see vendors getting back on the streets."I think it's good and convenient," said one user on Weibo." Vendors can make money, while customers will have more choice."

 Street vending has long been considered as a lowly job in China. But in 2020, former Premier Li Keqiang pointed out that street vendors were the" lifeblood" of the country. Since then, many Chinese young people have seen the business as a way to get away from the stress of traditional work culture. Some of them can now be seen setting up stalls on weekends in Shanghai.
