IMAGINE a life without arms or legs! You can’t hold anyone in your arms. You can’t walk anywhere with your feet. How would you last a day like that? Would you at yourself in the mirror like Nick Vujicic, the 29-year-old Australian?
Nick was born without limbs（四肢）, so life was not for him. At school many students played jokes on him he looked different from everyone else. He was refused to be their friends, so he always felt . However, he faced that bravely. He learned to type and write with two toes（脚趾）when he was six, and he could surf the Internet and play golf. In university, he achieved great success and was among the excellent students in the studies. And he decided on to do later in his life—to encourage others to work hard for their dreams.
Now Nick is one of the most popular in the world. He travels to many countries and gives speeches about his story difficulties. “Living life fully is about looking at what you have, not what you ,” he said. His story encourages millions of people.
“I tell people to keep on getting up when they and to always love themselves,” he said. “If I can encourage just one person, then my job in this life is done.”

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（图象）．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．"

Playing video games and getting money for it seems like a dream job for many of today's teenagers． But is it all fun and games？
Big business
Pro （professional） gaming is certainly big business． In 2017， there were more than 3，000 gaming competitions and over 10，000 professional players worldwide． A large number of people watch their competitions online， and successful gamers can get more than 1，000，000 dollars from prize money and ads． The industry is clearly thriving．
What it takes
Becoming a professional is not just about being good at playing games﹣ it also takes a lot of hard work． Some pro gamers practice for fourteen hours a day． "You need to spend much time and put all your efforts to it"， says ex﹣gamer George．
Not all fun and games
It can be a difficult job as well． Stress is a big problem for gamers． Tiredness is another， and injuries（受伤） are common． Top player Hai Lam had wrist（手腕） problems after years of pro gaming． Careers（生涯）are short， and many gamers retire （退休） before they are 30 and try to find another job．
However， the bad points probably won't change the dreams of many teenage gamers． And angry parents are still likely to hear the excuse， "But I'm just practicing for my future job!"

I am Turere．I come from Kitengela，a farming community on the edge（边缘）of Nairobi National Park of Kenya（肯尼亚）．Since the age of nine，I have helped to look after my family's cows．As a child，in my free time，I enjoyed playing with electronics．I made my own inventions，such as electronic toys from car parts and other things．I also built other electronic devices（仪器）for my neighbors．
At the age of 13，I invented something that changed my life．It also changed the lives of many people in my community．One night，a lion from the park came into my family's farm and killed one of our cows．I was angry．However，killing the lion，I thought，was not the best way to solve the problem．Instead，I decided to invent a solution．

So one night，I was walking around the cowshed with a torch（手电筒），and that day，the lions didn't come．And I discovered that lions were afraid of a moving light．So I had an idea…

Thousands of years ago， Britain was covered by thick forests， home to many animals which no longer live in the United Kingdom． There were wolves and bears， many different kinds of deer and large wild cows． There were less than four million people． They lived in small villages protected by wooden walls from the animals outside．
All this has changed， of course． Now the population of the United Kingdom has increased to sixty﹣five million． Three﹣quarters of Britain is covered with fields， towns or cities． Although 25 percent of land is countryside， new methods of farming mean that there are fewer birds and small animals living in fields than ever before． The United Kingdom is one of the few countries in the world that does not have a large wild animal that eats meat． In Scotland there are only 400 wildcats， but these are much smaller than wolves．
Some people would like to change things， however! Some organizations and writers say that Britain needs to become more natural again． They suggest that trees and plants that grew in the UK before towns and cities were built should be allowed to grow again． They even say that large wild animals which have not lived in the UK should be helped to return and live wild． They call this "rewilding"．
Not everyone agrees． In the last twenty years， over one million trees which at first grew in Scotland have been planted and there are plans for more ﹣ but wild animals？ Some people ask if wolves will attack sheep or even humans． They are also angry that rewilding might mean an end to walking in the hills which so many people enjoy． So far there are no wolves or bears in Britain's forests ﹣ but soon there might be!
