Everyone faces difficulties in their life. Daniel Kish was born with a special eye illness and lost his eyesight when 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 sonar (声呐) to help him move around. Kish now moves about using sonar. 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 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 sonar, although he needs to click twice a sound, 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. "
① The sound waves reflect off surfaces. ②The person makes a clicking sound.
③The brain turns the sound into pictures. ④The sound waves reach the person's ears
Allan is a doctor. He is taking notes about the lifestyles of two children, Angela and Andy.
Angela: The girl looks healthy. She knows how to keep fit. She gets up early even(即使) at week-ends. And enough exercise makes her fit. She doesn't eat fast food very often.
But sometimes she eats snacks between meals. Are most girls greedy(嘴馋的)? She should eat fewer snacks. They are not good for her. She can eat more fruit between meals.
Andy: Andy likes sports. He is good at swimming and football. He does sports for over one hour every day. That makes him fit and strong.
But Andy is a picky eater. He doesn't eat enough meat for meals. So he is not tall. And he has another problem—sleeping in(睡过头,迟起床). He gets up too late on Saturdays and Sundays.
To get enough energy, Andy should get up early and eat more meat.

My parents argue a lot. I wish I could make them stop. It's really upsetting. ﹣﹣Michael You aren't alone. Many teenagers feel upset when their parents argue. Adults disagree at times,just as teenagers do. It's natural to wish you could make your parents stop arguing,but that isn't your responsibility. They must solve their own disagreements. If you feel upset,focus on things that'll help you feel calm. Do activities you enjoy,or write or draw to express how you feel. At a time when things are calm, "When I hear you arguing,I feel worried and scared. " |
Why do friends get mad at me and my other friends?﹣Lily People get irritated for lots of reasons. Sometimes it's because they feel hurt by or don't like others' actions or words. Sometimes it's because they are just tired,in a bad mood,or annoyed about something that has nothing to do with you. If you're not sure why a friend is irritated |
____. Any advice? ﹣Jack All kinds of things can keep you awake. Ask a parent to help you find out what keeps you up and what to do about it. Your doctor may have helpful tips too. Being active for at least 30 minutes a day (long before bed) can improve your sleep. Having a nightly routine (常规) can also help. For example(games,phone,TV) an hour beforehand. Dress for bed,brush your teeth,calming music,or read something relaxing. |
