Everyone faces challenges in their life， but some are more difficult 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 later， however，he started to do an amazing thing．He started to make clicking （咔哒） 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）． （1） He and his group， World Access for the Blind， teach others how to use sonar．In this interview with National Geographic， Kish explains how sonar 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）（2） "．
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？
"（3） I click up to two times per second， much more than I usually do"．

Do you have a tail？ Of course not， we know． But tails are like opinions． actually， everyone has them： fishes， birds， most reptiles， and even some of our closest relatives．
Since tails first evolved（进化） at least 500 million years ago． Geckos （壁虎）use them to store fat， birds use them to steer through the air． But for most mammals （哺乳动物），（1） Yet， as you get closer to humans on the evolutionary tree， tails disappear， Gorillas（大猩猩）don' t have them， and neither do chimps（黑猩猩） or any other apes （类人猿）， including us， of course． To understand why， take a look at how we walk．
（2） walking like this gives us a huge advantage because unlike four﹣legged animals，which have to pour energy into every step they take， two legs take advantage of gravity（重力），which does some of the work for us． You see， each time we take a step， gravity pulls us forward．The end result is that when we walk， we use around 25% less energy than walking on all fours， and this way of getting around also totally eliminates（淘汰） the need for a tail．
It's said that you can still see a reminder of a time when our ancient ancestors had one． Just look at a human spine（脊椎）．（3） That's your tailbone． It's all that's the rest of our tail．

The growth mainly came from China's forest protection programs， NASA said． For example， since 1962． China has been planting trees in Saihanba． Hebei Province． It was once a desert，（3）
（4） Ant Forest， a feature in Alipay app， gives users points for doing eco﹣friendly things such as walking and going paperless in the office． Users can then use these points to water and grow their own virtual（虚拟的）trees． When the virtual trees are big enough， Ant Forest will plant real trees somewhere in the world．（5）
