when she was three months old. For nine months, the woman trained her to walk, sit, stop and lie down.
When Lucy was one year old, she went to a special school for dogs. It has a street like in a town. Here
Lucy learned to guide a person round holes and across streets. She had to look for holes in the ground and high-
up dangers like trees, too.
When Lucy passed all her tests, Dick came to the training centre to meet his "eyes". Dog and per-son must
like each other. If they do not like each other, they will not work well together. Dick stayed at the training
centre for four weeks. He learned to walk along the street with Lucy. At the end, they went out into the real
town for practice trips.
Dick is now back at home after his four weeks' training. Every day he walks with Lucy to his job in a
factory. He is the telephone operator. The other workers love Lucy. She spends the day in a corner of his office.

Maybe you have seen this in schools: some students are Studying nearly all the time but they just pass their exams, while some others may spend much less time on their books but do much better in exams．How could this happen? People used to think that hard work is the only way to success．But now they have understood that smart work can make them succeed, too．
Hard workers don't mind working for long hours, while smart workers always think of several different answers to these questions, "Why should I suffer this? Isn't there a better way to do this?" Thanks to these people, we can use computers instead of the abacus now．Progress in every field is the direct result of "try to find a better way" by smart workers．
There was a large soap factory in Japan． Once it received an unusual letter from someone who complained that there was no soap in the soapbox he bought．
How could empty soapboxes go out of the factory? The engineers checked the producing and packing The producing was fine, but in about one in ten thousand cases, the packing machine （机器）let an empty soapbox go．There was no need to spend a lot of money repairing the machine for such a small problem．The engineer soon worked out a solution: he put a huge X-ray （X光射线） machine and two large computers to find out the empty soapboxes．After teaching the workers how to use it, he sat down in his seat, exhausted．
"Sir, we could have solved the problems in a much simpler and cheaper way," a worker said．
"Really? How? "
"We can put a huge fan （风扇） near the packing machine． The wind coming from the fan will blow away the empty boxes, leaving the other boxes with soap．There would be no need for an X-ray machine, two computers, and operating by workers．"
See, this is smart work． In order to succeed, we should not only work hard like the engineer, but also think smart like this worker．

My parents lived in a small village in China. A long time ago, everyone in the village was talking about ‘the Gold Mountain’--San Francisco. My uncle told my father that he wanted to move to America. In 1904, my father gave him some money and he went on a ship to America with my brother.
My uncle and my brother started working as factory workers in San Francisco. Life was not easy but America was their dream. Then one day, a terrible thing happened. It was an early morning in April 1906. They were still sleeping at home. My uncle felt slight shaking but he did not get up at once as San Francisco had small earthquakes every summer. After a few seconds, a powerful earthquake happened. The windows cracked. He woke my brother up. Then they ran out of their flat.
My uncle said everyone in the building was frightened and screamed. Everyone was running out of the building. Some people were shouting ‘Calm down!’ but no one listened. Soon, my uncle was in the street. He looked beside him but he could not find my brother. He tried to get back into the building but everyone was getting out.
Seven hundred people died in the earthquake. I know my brother was one of them. He was trapped inside the building. When I lie awake in bed, I always think about him. He did not survive the earthquake.
Amy wants to write an article about the San Francisco earthquake for the school newsletter. Read what she thinks. Write a T if the sentence is true. Write an F if it is false.
