    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."

American boy Rain Price is a student. His dad waved(挥手) him off to school from the bus stop outside his house for half a year. That doesn't sound special, but this was not a/ an 1 goodbye because each day Rain's dad said goodbye wearing the costume(戏服)!

It all started on 13- year- old Rain's first day at middle school. Like many 2 Rochelle and Dale, Rain's mum and dad, sent him to school 3 a big wave. The next morning when Rain got onto the 4 outside his house, he could hear his school friends 5 something. He turned around and to his surprise, his dad dressed up as a football player. Rain felt embarrassed(尴尬的).

For the next 180 school 6 , Dale waved goodbye to his son dressed in a 7 costume. One day he was a king waving his sword, the next a 8 with a violin, the following a superman. Dale even got other family to 9 him. Rain's younger 10 played Batman and he thought Rain would like it. Each day Rochelle took a photo of 11 and put it on the blog to let more people know. That made the family became very 12 . So Rain 13 saw the funny side and thought his dad was cool, not embarrassing.

14 all good things must come to an end. On the last day of school, Dale dressed up as  a teacher and stood next to a sign reading" It's been fun waving at the bus. Have a great summer". He has 15 plans to wave Rain off to school next year. He wants to get a little more sleep each morning.

 阅读下面短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。

My father was busy fixing Belinda's spaceship all afternoon. In the evening, I went to the landing place. "Dear Father," I said politely. "Have you found Belinda's parents yet?"

"Not yet, my dear." He shook his head.

I felt relaxed. I didn't want to meet Belinda's parents—they might be ten times as loud and bossy as she was.

But Belinda had followed me.

"Not yet?" she shouted. "Why not? I'll send them a message! They'll listen to me!"

Belinda ran to the radio. She shouted into it so loudly that I had to cover all my four ears. "Mummy! Daddy! I'm on an awful spaceship full of purple people! Come and find me now!"

"Poor Belinda!" my sister came and said. "Her parents must be missing her."

"Huh!" I snorted (发出哼声). "Missing her? You're joking! Who would want such a bossy kid back? They probably lost her on purpose."

Belinda's face clouded. I thought she was going to shout again, but she didn't. Instead, something very strange happened — her eyes began to water!

"Oh, help!" said Roa. "Is she dying?"

I felt terrible. "Don't die, Belinda! I didn't mean it."

Then Belinda opened her mouth wide and shouted, "What if it's true? What if they've gone away and left me here forever?"

We were all so busy comforting Belinda that we didn't notice the soft knock of a ship landing outside. We didn't see two tall people come out of it until Belinda ran out in excitement.

"Mummy! Daddy!"

Belinda's parents were even uglier than she was, but they looked polite. "Hello, dear," the female said. "We're sorry we kept you waiting."

We smiled as the three of them boarded their spaceship. "Goodbye!" shouted Belinda. "Goodbye! Thanks for taking care of our baby girl!" said her father.

None of us answered. We waved cheerfully as the ship took off and went far away into the stars.
