Everyone faces difficulties in their life. Daniel Kish was born with a special eye illness and lost his eyesight before he was only 14 months old.

Soon after, however, he started to do an amazing thing. He learned to make clicks with his tongue 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 Geogra phic, ,he explains how the sonar works.

“When I make a click sound, it produces sound waves. These waves reflect off surfaces all around and return to my ears. 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 3­D 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 second, 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 mountain­biking. 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 10，000 students 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.”

In our daily life, we may meet with difficulties. What should we do? When we face with problems, we often feel, “I am the only one having such problems.” Or, we exaggerate (放大) our problems and regard them as the most painful. But if we look around us, we find other people may be in much worse conditions.

Every person has his own difficulties no matter who and where he is. So it’s very important to have a correct attitude in your life. Only with the correct attitude can you face up all of your difficulties and finally overcome (战胜) them. First, you have to believe in yourself. That’s the secret of success. Second, don’t complain about others when you have difficulties, because it can neither help you avoid difficulties nor help you solve them. And the most important thing is that don’t run away or give up. Use your ability to clear the difficulties that appear in your life. Third, remember how you overcome the difficulties because it may help you avoid similar trouble next time. Just take it easy, enjoy the life even it’s full of difficulties.

How do you feel about your looks? Is it important to have a beautiful face? Are there other things that can make a person special? The way you look is special. Do you know what I mean by that? We all look a little different. Some of us are tall. Some of us are fat. The point is, all of us have our own look-our own face.

Sometimes, we might feel bad about looking different. We might feel like we look ugly or strange. But our differences are what make us special.

I recently watched a speech by a man named Robert Hoge. He was born with a strange-looking face. His mother always worried that he would face many difficulties in life. But what Hoge did changed his mother's mind little by little. Strangers would stare at him or even make fun of him. But he didn't care at all. He decided to accept his face and feel confident (自信的) in himself. He has made a decision to live an amazing life.

It's hard when you feel like you don't look "normal" or "perfect". But the truth is, no one is perfect. The important thing to remember is that you are special, no matter what you look like.

根据短文内容，判断下列各句正（T）、误（F）。

1.According to the writer, all of us look a little different. _____
