第14讲 八年级下 Units 7~8
一、阅读理解
(原创)Xu Jian is a visually impaired (视力受损的) woman in Shenzhen, Guangdong. For the past seven years, Xu's guide dog Daimeng has been at her side at work and for daily activities.
Xu got the dog from the China Guide Dog Training Center in Dalian, Liaoning Province, the first guide dog training center on the Chinese mainland. Wang Jingyu, a scientist at Dalian Medical University, set it up in 2006. Over the years, the center has trained about 400 guide dogs, with more than 350 now serving in 27 provinces and cities across China.
According to Wang Xin, a trainer who has been working at the center since 2010, 90 percent of the center's guide dogs are kind and smart.
Once trainers find good guide dog puppies (幼仔), the dogs need to take personality (性格) tests.A good guide dog should not be too curious, excitable, or shy as these personalities could cause problems during work.
One volunteer called Sun, has raised four puppies since 2019. “Raising guide dogs is quite different from raising pet dogs,” said Sun. She follows the center's guidelines for their care, including controlled feeding and teaching the dogs to refuse food when necessary. She also guides the dogs along the roads made for visually impaired people so the guide dogs can know the roads well.
However, even if the dogs successfully pass all tests, they could still be disqualified (使丧失资格) if they don't enjoy the role of a guide dog. Usually, guide dogs serve for 6 to 10 years. Those who are too old are usually taken in as pets by their trainers and volunteers.
