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."

Many scientists think that the earth is getting warmer and warmer. If the change continues, the natural world and human society will face danger. Scientists believe human activity is responsible for the climate change. We produce too many greenhouse gases. They keep heat in the air and make the earth warm.
Many of the world's governments agree. And they want to solve the problem. So from December 7 to 18, 2009, they held a conference in Copenhagen, Denmark to talk about global warming and climate change.
Representatives（代表） from 192 countries and regions went to the meeting. Although they have not reached an agreement, the Copenhagen Accord（《哥本哈根协议》）was an important beginning to save the earth. It was made by a small group of countries including China, the US, India, Brazil and South Africa. Some other countries at the conference also showed support.
What are the key points of the Copenhagen Accord? The accord limits global temperature increases to 20C by 2050 compared to pre-1850. Scientists think it could help the world to avoid serious climate change.
The accord also says that developed countries must promise to cut greenhouse gas emissions （排放） to the UN by January 31, 2010. The accord asks developed countries to give money to help developing countries.
Many countries and organizations are disappointed that the conference didn't reach a legal document（法律约定）. And they think the accord is not clear enough about its goals.
African leaders are worried that the goal of a 20C global temperature increase isn't good enough, because it will mean a much higher increase in temperature across Africa. This could cause big problems like food and water shortages across the continent.
Still, UN Secretary General Ban Ki-Moon believes the conference was an "improvement".

What will the world of the future be like? There are plenty of people who are happy to give their opinion of what we will be doing in 2050. Here are two predictions about the world of tomorrow.
When we dream about the future, many like to think of owning a personal flying car. The advantages are obvious. This technology would allow total freedom of movement. We could fly at 480 km per hour, avoiding traffic lights and busy roads. However, some people believe there will be problems with traffic control. If the cars become popular, there is likely to be air traffic jam. Another big problem is mechanical failure. What will happen if the cars stop working? These are problems we must expect if flying cars become a reality.
Three-dimensional printing is another new technology with exciting possibilities. 3D printers are used to build an object with liquid plastic.
They build the object layer by layer until it is complete. Car companies already use 3D printers to make life-size models of car parts, and medical companies use the technology to make man-made body parts. As we move into the future, 3D printing will revolutionize the way we shop, the way we manufacture and the way we treat sick people. The disadvantage is that such equipment will be extremely expensive.
So in the future, we might be able to fly to work or print out new shoes. Although there are some problems to solve before this will be possible, we can certainly dream of a world where technology makes life easier and safer for millions of people.
（1）What is the passage mainly about?
A. Environmental protection.
B. The world of tomorrow.
C. Advantages of technology.
（2）What do we learn from the passage?
A. Some people think technology development may bring new problems
B. 3D printing can bring great changes to our life and its equipment is cheap.
C. The flying cars won't bring air traffic jam even when they become popular.
（3）What is the correct structure of the passage? （P1=Paragraph1）
A. B. C.
（4）What does the underlined word "they" refer to?
A. Car companies.
B. 3D print.
C. Body parts.
（5）We can infer that the writer ________ about the future life with technology.
A. doesn't care
B. feels hopeful
C. feels disappointed

Then Alice saw a small glass table. There was a little golden key on it. She picked it and put it in all the locks on the doors but it didn't open any of them. She moved a curtain on one of the walls and discovered another door, a very small one. She put the key in the lock. It was exactly the right size! She opened the door and looked through it. At the end of a low passage she saw a beautiful garden. It was full of brightly coloured flowers and fountains.
"Oh, how beautiful!" she said. "I'd love to go there but I'm too big to get through the door."
She walked back to the table. There was a bottle on it now.
"I'm sure that bottle wasn't there before," she said, a little confused.
She put down the key and picked up the bottle. She read the words "DRINK ME" on it. Alice wasn't a stupid girl. She didn't drink it immediately. First she looked at the bottle carefully. There wasn't a label on it that said "POISON".

After a while she said, "Alice! Stop crying! Crying doesn't help! Dry your tears immediately!"
When she looked at the table again, she saw a small glass box under it. She picked it up and opened it. There was a small cake inside. It had the words "EAT ME" on it. She put a small piece of it in her mouth.
