They’re best friends. They are together every day. One of the friends, Jenny Siegle, is in a wheelchair (轮椅). The other, Augie, is a dog and he helps Jenny. 14-year-old Jenny is a quadriplegic (四肢瘫痪者). She cannot use her arms or legs well. Augie is not only a dog but also Jenny’s arms and legs.
How does Augie do this? In school, he picks up the pencil or notebook that Jenny drops. Jenny is also training Augie to pull off her jacket so Jenny doesn’t have to ask others for help.
At home, Augie brings her newspapers. He even helps clean Jenny’s room. When Jenny asks him to do something he can’t do, Augie goes to get her parents or sister.
At the mall, Augie wears a coat which tells everyone he is helping Jenny. After Jenny buys things, Augie carries them to the counter (柜台). He gives the cashier Jenny’s wallet and waits for the change.
The lovely and friendly dog is also a social bridge. Other kids may not know Jenny. But they come up to talk to her because they think Augie is interesting.
Augie is truly Jenny’s best friend and her bridge to the world.

It was early morning. Peter Corbett helped Mark Wellman out of his wheelchair and onto the ground. They stood before El Captain, a huge rock almost 1.2 kilometers high. Mark had long dreamed to climb El Captain when he was a child. At the age of twenty—one, he had fallen while climbing a mountain, losin
g his legs. But he never lost his love for life.
Mark knew he couldn’t finish the climb alone, but his friend Peter would be there to lend a helping hand. They thought it would take them seven days to reach the top. Now Peter climbed about 30 meters up and hit a piton(岩钉）into the rock. Tying one end of a 50—meter rope to the piton, he let the other end of the rope fall down. Mark caught the rope and tied it to his belt(腰带). He next readied above his bead and tied a T—bar(丁字铁）to the rope. Mark took a deep breath, pushed the T-bar up almost as far as his arms could reach, and began the first pull-up. High above，Peter let out a cheer, “You’re on your way.”
For the first four days the two men progressed upward without accident. But on the fifth day，a very strong wind began to blow, making it hard for Mark to hold on to his rope. But Mark kept on pushing up the T-bar and pulling himself up.
It took them one more day than they had expected. But as the two heads appeared, the group of people waiting on the top went wild with joy.
