【题目】 Have you ever heard of Monkey College? Who do you think goes to school there? If you said monkeys, you were right. Dogs are not the only animals that can be trained to help. Helping Hands, an organization in Cambridge, Massachusetts, trains capuchin monkeys to be companions and helpers for people in wheelchairs who can't move their arms or legs.

More than 20 years ago, Dr. M. J. Willard was working with a person who had recently become paralyzed(瘫痪). She thought that a monkey might be able to help her patient with some basic housework. Dr. Willard was right. Not only can monkeys be trained to help people, they are also wonderful companions.

Capuchin Monkeys are found in the wild in South Central America. They are about the size of a small cat and can live to be nearly 40 years old. They are very smart. They are also known for being friendly and good with their hands. Capuchin Monkeys have opposable thumbs, which means they can use their hands much in the way that people do.

Everyday tasks, like turning on a light, putting something in the microwave, or playing a CD player, can be difficult for someone who cannot use his or her arms and legs. Capuchin Monkeys can easily perform these tasks. This allows their owners more freedom. They can do things on their own and can live independently.

The monkeys and their owners become friends and learn to depend on each other. Some owners say the monkeys are almost like children to them. The monkeys can be mischievous and sometimes like to play tricks on their owners. This is especially true of young monkeys. Mostly, though, they like to please their owners. They like the tricks they receive when they do a good job, and they like to be praised.

Helping Hands matches disabled people to monkey companions who can help them. But the close friendships between the monkeys and their owners happen all on their own.
