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 cars. 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 10,000students 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.” 38. Daniel Kish lost his eyesight_________. A. when he grew up B. when he was born C. when he went to work D. when he was 14 months old 39.

Which of the following is the right order showing how the sonar works? 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 cars A.②①④③ B.②③①④ C.①④②③ D.①③②④ D All loving parents want to believe that their child is the smartest in the class. Some will call their child a genius. This is easy to understand. Parents just want to make their child feel confident from a young age. However, calling your child a genius is not the answer. Being a natural genius is not common and many parents mistake real genius. The ability to read or speak a little sooner than other children does not necessarily mean your child is a genius. It probably just means he is a fast learner. To call your child a genius could actually damage his early development. The word “genius” will put a lot of stress on some children. The stress to live up to their parent's expectations could feel too big. Such high expectations are more likely to affect their confidence badly. Some other children may become too confident. This can be bad too The children may start to believe that they are so smart that they do not have to try hard at school. Studies show that it is better for children's development to praise(称赞)their hard work instead of telling them they are geniuses. Do not give your child all the answers, either. Asking your child lots of questions will help him think. Your child also needs time to find out what he is interested in. Do not push him to become interested in something you feel is important. Finally, have proper conversations with your child. Studies show that this helps with language development. Whether or not your child is a genius,our advice should help give your child the best possible start in life. 42. According to paragraph 1, ___________is more likely to be a real genius. A. who got good grades after he studied hard B. who can read and speak a little sooner than others C. who was born with the ability of running faster than others D. who practiced basketball hard and finally joined the basketball team 43.
