特别It is a very popular movie
that moves 100 million
Asians in 2005. What’s the
movie? What’s the movie about?
It is about how Xiao Q –-a guide dog helps Dubian—an odd blind man. There is deep love between its master and Xiao Q. Xiao Q is his eyes, his company. But do you know how a guide dog like Xiao Q is trained?Reading Read about how guide dogs and their blind owners are trained. Then make a time line that shows the different stages in a guide dog’s training. The first stage: 1-12 months:
The puppy lives with a sighted family. The second stage13-17 months:
It begins five months training at a
guide dog school. The third stage
18th months:
When it is trained,
it meets its new
owner and the two
live at the guide
school for a month
to learn to work
together. The last stage:
A trainer goes to the owner’s home to teach the dog and its owner how to get round in their own town or city. Do you know more about guide dogs and their owners? There are several questions below which will help you know more about guide dogs and their owners. How much does it cost to train a
guide dog?
It costs more than $30,000 to complete the training of one guide dog. This includes all expenses from breeding to raising the dog to training it and matching it with a blind person. What exactly is a guide dog
trained to do?
Guide dogs undergo a comprehensive training program, and only the best complete the training and become working guides. In short, guide dogs
are taught how to find and follow a clear path, maneuver around obstacles, and stop at curbs. They also are taught to
determine when it is unsafe to move on. They follow their teammate’s directions, and they know that they can disobey only in the face of danger. What is the blind person taught
during training?
During the training program, blind students first learn about the commands the dog knows. Over a several week period, they are taught everything there is to know about how to work with a guide dog. In addition, they learn about proper care of the dog, which ranges from feeding to grooming to medical issues. Access laws, public awareness and other issues also are covered during the 25-day program. Are guide dogs allowed in restaurants?
Guide dogs are allowed everywhere that the general public is allowed to go. This includes restaurants, taxicabs, airplanes, hotels, etc. This right is protected by a federal law called the Americans With Disabilities Act. Are there things I should or should not do when I am around a guide dog?
The general rule is that working guide dogs should be ignored. Distractions take their concentration away from the work they have to do—which can put the dog and its teammate in danger. Do not pet or feed a guide dog and do not encourage the dog to misbehave. Sara, who is blind, has just returned home from a guide school where she learned how to work with her new guide dog. A teacher from the school has come to Sara’s house to teach her and her dog how to find their way around their own town. Listen to the

1. Introduce individuals to each other using both first and last names. 2. If you’re introducing someone who has a title, a doctor, for example include the title as well as the first and last names in the introduction.
3. Introduce the younger or less prominent person to the older or more prominent person, regardless of the sex of the individuals. (However, if a considerable age difference lies between the two, it is far more courteous to make introductions in deference to age, regardless of social rank.) For example: “Arthur Prefect, I'd like you to meet Dr. Gertrude Smith”. 4. If the person you are introducing has a specific relationship to you, make the relationship clear by adding a phrase such as ‘my boss’, ‘my wife’ or ‘my uncle’ .
5. Introduce an individual to the group first, then the group to the individual. For example: ‘Dr. Brown, I’d like you to meet my friends Kym Hsu, Shawn Kampbell and Michael Via. Everyone, this is Dr. Kurt Brown.’ Work in groups of three and
act out two dialogues on page 47.Listening Task on page 50Discuss these questions with your
class.

4 Do you know what the Chinese system of braille looks like? Braille
Blinded by an accident in his early childhood, 15 year old Louis Braille (1809-1852) invented a system of reading and writing by touch.
A Braille cell consists of six raised dots. By arranging the dots in various combinations, 64 different patternscan be formed. Braille, a true alphabet, is read by moving the hand from left to right along each line. Readers average about 104-125 words per minute. Some can read 250 words by using both hands.Listening 1.

idea for his system?What country did Louis Braille come from?
Louis Braille came from France.
2. What disability did he have?
He was blind.3. What did books for the blind look
like when Louie was a boy?
Books were very large because the words were written in the ordinary alphabet but were raised above the surface so blind people could feel the letter.
4. What invention gave Louie the idea
for his system?
A system of code to be used by soldiers to send and receive messages in the dark.
