On a wild mountain，two goats met on a road just over a high cliff．（悬崖） The road was so narrow （狭窄）that there neither room for them to pass each other nor to turn round and go back． What do you think the two goats did？
One of them with great care laid himself down on the narrow rock， pressing as close to the rock as he could． Then the other goat gently and softly stepped over his friend， till， safely past him， he could lightly jump away．
The goat that had lain down then drew himself up， safe and free to leap again from rock to rock， and enjoyed the sweet grass on the hill happily．
However，two other goats met on the banks （河岸）of rushing river． A tree had fallen across and become a bridge from one side to the other．
The two goats looked at each other，and each wished to pass over first．
They stood for a moment with one foot on the tree， each thinking that the other would draw back． But neither of them would give away， and they met at last on the middle of the narrow bridge!
They then began to push and fight with their horns （角）， till at last their feet slipped， and both the goats fell into the stream， and were lost in the water!

House fires often happened． So it appears necessary to learn something useful to protect family from them． The following poster in the neighbourhood will tell you how to do it．
Fire Safety
Put a smoke alarm in your house and test it every month． Half of all house fire deaths happen between 11 pm and 7 am． The risk of dying in a house fire is cut in half with working smoke alarms．
Make sure your hearing aid， wheelchair or eyeglasses are next to your bed． Fire can spread throuh a house soon． You may have as little as two minutes to escape（逃离） safely． Be ready to act at once．
Create a fire escape plan． 77% of families don't have a house fire escape plan to follow． That's one of the reasons why at least one child dies and 293 children are injured in a house fire every day．
Don't call 119 until you are safely outside． During a fire， the first thing to do is to get out of house as fast as you can．

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．
