Daniel Kish was born with an unusal eye condition and lost his eyesight before he was even 14 months old. Soon after, though, he started doing something amazing. He learned to click his tongue to help him get around. Now Kish gets around using sonar (声纳), and he’s so good at it that he can ride a bicycle alone on public roads. In 2000, he started the organization World Access for the Blind (WAFTB), where he teaches others to use sonar. In an interview with National Geographic, he explains how sonar works. “When I click, it creates sound waves (浪). These waves reflect off surfaces all around and come back to my ears. My brain then processes the sound and turns it into mental pictures. Each click is like a camera flash-it helps me make a 3D picture of my surroundings (周围) for hundreds of feet. It’s like having a chat with the environment.” Kish thinks it’s exciting to ride a bike using sonar, even though he has to click twice a second — way more than he usually does. “Getting around this way might sound a little dangerous,” he says. “But most people in the world fear things they just imagine. I love hiking and mountain biking. I go almost everywhere, and I’ve never had an accident or hurt myself.” He’s happy to be able to help more blind children make their lives better. “We’ve helped over 10,000 students in nearly 40 countries,” he tells the reporter. “Many students are surprised at how fast they see results. Seeing isn’t in the eyes — it’s in the mind.” 根据短文内容，选择最佳答案。（5分） 31. Why does Kish move around using sonar? A. Because he is good at making clicks. B. Because it makes him “see” the world. C. Because he has a great interest in science. D. Because it is important for him to keep healthy. 32.

Could a British man perform the Monkey King so wonderfully that he wins over the audience? The answer is Ghaffar Pourazar, who has mastered the skills of this traditional Chinese art form. Ghaffar Pourazar, born in Iran, said he has been a big fan of Bruce Lee since he was a child and is full of interest in China. In 1993, he happened to watch Beijing Opera performed in London by professionals from Beijing Jingju Theatre Company. Ghaffar said he fell in love with the beautiful voices, colorful costumes, and excellent shows. So, after one year, he arrived in China alone and became a student of Beijing Opera at a Beijing school. At the age of 32, he had to learn with teenage students every day, starting from the most basic training of the legs and waist (腰). At the time, he was mostly troubled by the dialogue in Beijing Opera, which was the biggest obstacle for him. But he never gave up. Four years later, he began to learn to perform the Monkey King, a traditional character from the Chinese classic story Journey to the West. He said he arrived in the workroom an hour earlier than other performers and also bought books and CDs to better understand the character. Ghaffar today is not only good at speaking Beijing dialect (方言) but has also built a fame for Beijing Opera. He once got a top international prize for performing the Monkey King. To help more people enjoy Beijing Opera, Ghaffar often teaches the traditional art form in schools in the United States, Britain, and other countries. When he found that the language was difficult to understand, he started to translate Beijing Opera song lyrics. Ghaffar led a group of actors to perform 66 times in a month and a half in the United States. He also led a 48-member team to perform in Malaysia. In the past 10 years, he has performed in more than 400 shows. 根据短文内容，选择最佳答案。（5分） 36. How does the writer begin the passage? A. By asking questions to introduce the topic. B.
