Another lesson that a child can _____ from having a dog is empathy(同情), the ability to put oneself in another person’s, or in this case another creature’s______ and imagine that person’s or creature’s feelings or problems.

Understanding a situation from the dog’s point of view helps the child understand why the dog is behaving in a certain way and what the dog needs.

What Would You Do? is a TV program on American ABC. The program which is hosted by the news reporter John Quinones is popular with many people. It tests what people will do when they see someone is in trouble so as to remind us to stand up for the people in need. Here is last week’s program.

In a cake shop, two actors acted as a blind woman named Pamela and a man clerk who looked down upon the blind. Hidden cameras were recording what would happen. The blind woman came into the shop and bought a box of twelve cup cakes. The clerk treated the woman badly at first. Then he cheated her when he gave her the change. He only gave her 6 single dollar bills instead of 34 dollars.

Would someone be brave enough to stand up for the blind woman? Yes! A customer(顾客) in the cake shop stopped the clerk from cheating the blind and treating her badly. And other customers joined in soon. John appeared in the end and interviewed the first customer who helped Pamela out. She said it was necessary to give a hand to the people in need. “A psychology(心理学) professor once said,” she said, “It’s difficult to take the first step to stand up. It needs courage.”
