Dogs like living with people. A dog can be a very good friend. He can do a lot of things for people.

Some dogs help people to look after sheep, other dogs help them to find lost (丢失的)children. And some of the dogs can help the blind(盲人)do things.

Many years ago there was a ver dog. His name was Seeing Eye dog. Now we can see this kind of dogs all over the world. They are working for the blind. The Seeing Eye dog is strong ,good and easy to train(训练).He helps the blind to walk from place.

Before a dog becomes a Seeing Eye dog, he must go to a training school for about three months. First the dog has to learn to sit or stay when he hears the trainer’s call. In his next lesson the dog learns to make his trainer across busy streets.

The dog has many things to learn. And in every lesson he must to do one thing again and again many times.

At the end of the training schooled must take tests. When he passes the tests, the Seeing Eye dog will do things by himself.

Now he can help blind people. The new master(主人)may be a man, a woman, or even a child. It takes the dog and his blind master about a month to learn to work and live together.

The lady with the white fence（篱笆）taught me to leave the gale to life open.. .

My husband died in an accident and I became very angry. I hated being alone. One day, as I was　 43　 down a busy street, I suddenly noticed a new fence around a house. I pulled off to really watch it. It was such a good 　44　 that I was deeply touched. I could not send 　45 away. The fence still smelled of fresh paint.

“Hello!" I came up and said to a lady in the back garden, “I came to see the fence. It's so beautiful!"

“Oh! The fence is not there for me," the lady explained to me in a calm voice, “I live alone. _ 46_ so many people pass by every day, and I think they may be pleased to see something really attractive. 　　47　 stop like you and come up to have a chat. "

"But weren't you sad when they expanded (拓宽) the road and everything changed so much?"

"Change is part of life and takes part in 　 48　 us who we are. When something we do not

like happens to us, we have two choices—to become a 　 49　 person or to become a better person."

Her reply changed my life. I carefully left the gate open and drove on 　50 a new feeling inside me. I could not tell 　51 it was, but I could feel the thick stone wall around my angry heart breaking off. And 　52 a pretty white fence was built. I decided that I would keep the gate open for everything and everyone that came my way.
