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) in his mouth to help him move around. Kish now moves about using sonar(用声音导航). He is so good at it that he can ride a bicycle by himself on public roads. 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) and return to my ears. My brain then deals with the sound and turns it into pictures in my mind. 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 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 are afraid of things that they imagine. I love hiking and mountain-biking. I go almost everywhere. And I never fell down and hurt myself.” He is happy to be able to help more blind children to improve their life. Seeing isn't in the eyes. It's in the mind. 19. Kish moves around using sonar because___________. A. he is good at making clicks B. it makes him “see” the world C. he has a great interest in science D. it is important for him to keep healthy 20. The underlined word “it” in Paragraph 2 refers to(指代)___________ A. riding a bicycle B. moving around C. making clicks D. using sonar 21. What can we learn about World Access for the Blind(WAFTB) from the passage? A. It offers the blind free bicycles. B. It sells sonar products to the blind. C. It teaches the blind to use sonar D. It helps the blind find more friends. 22. The best title for the passage might be___________. A. Seeing in the dark world B. Traveling with the blind C. Hoping for the future D. Traveling around the world C Few activities in life can be seen timeless(永恒的). But reading a book is one of them and it is popular around the world. That's why April 23rd is World Book Day. This celebration(庆祝) of reading is the biggest of its kind in over 100 countries. Here are two of my favorite books. Nancy Drew Mystery Stories Nancy Drew Mystery Stories has fascinated millions of girls for a while. It has been nearly 90years. I still remember picking up my first book. I wanted to know what could be so special about the pretty girl on the cover. I found that Nancy is a teenage detective. She is so brave and clever that I like her so much. What Nancy does still touches readers today. The Hardy Boys I love stories that people must use their minds and team spirit(精神) to solve problems. That's why I am rereading The Hardy Boys by Franklin W. Dixon. In these detective stories, the clever boys work together to solve problems! When things get worse, the Hardy boys are never worried because they know they have great partners to work with. So they always get bad people in the end. Reading doesn't just teach you new words. Good stories can teach you important lessons about life. Books can also take you to new worlds and excite you. So pick up your favorite book, and read it on World Book Day. 23. World Book Day is__________. A. on April 22nd B. celebrated in every country C. a celebration of reading D. a short-time activity in the world 24. The underlined word “fascinated” in Paragraph 2 means__________. A. make someone worried B. make someone popular C. make someone bored D. make someone interested 25. From The Hardy Boys, we know the boys are__________. A. clever, healthy but noisy B. talented, team-spirited and hopeful C. friendly,creative but worried D. handsome,outgoing and brave 26. The writer writes this passage to__________. A. talk about his favorite books B. teach us how to read C. celebrate World Book Day D. make us enjoy reading D ①Children are gaining(增加) weight. Today most teenagers are at least one size larger than children were 20 years ago. Even clothing sizes have changed. Did you know that a small size today used to be a medium one 20 years ago? ②A recent study shows 97% of children need more exercise. It's bad news because too little exercise means you are missing a lot of good things in life. Exercise helps you in two ways. ③First, exercise helps your body. Physical activity can make your body strong. It can also keep you at a healthy weight. Doctors say that people who stay at a healthy weight have fewer health problems. ④Second, exercise can help your mind. People who get a lot of physical activity might worry less and sleep better at night. You may even learn better in school. Students who are healthy can listen and understand better in class. ⑤You can change your life and be more active at any point. It's never too late. An article called “How to Limit Screen Time and Get Moving” gives these ideas: Limit the screen time. Doctors call watching TV or playing video games screen time. You should have no more than two hours of screen time a day. You will enjoy life more if you live it instead of watching it! Make fitness fun. Find a sport you like. It doesn't need to be the traditional sports of basketball, soccer, or baseball. Those are all great sports if you like them and play them. However, you can also try hiking, skateboarding, or even jumping rope. If you enjoy the sport, you will do it. Exercise with others. Find a friend or family member to exercise or play with you. 27.
