二、阅读理解

A guide dog is a dog especially trained to guide a blind person. Dogs chosen for such training

must show good disposition, intelligence, physical fitness and sense of responsibility.

At the age of about fourteen months, a guide dog begins an intensive course that lasts from three

to five months. It becomes accustomed to the leather harness and stiff leather handle it will wear when

guiding its blind owner. The dog learns to watch the traffic and to cross the street safely. It also learns

to obey such commands as

lead its owner into danger.

The most important part of the training course is a four-week program in which the guide dog

and its future owner learn to work together. However, many blind people are unsuited by personality

to work with dogs. Only a tenth of the blind find a guide dog useful.

A characteristic of American culture that has become almost a tradition is to respect the self-made

man - the man who has risen to the top through his own efforts, usually beginning by working with his

hands.

While

the

leader

in

business

or

industry

or

the

college

professor

occupies

a

higher

social

2

position and commands greater respect in the community than the common laborer or even the skilled

factory worker, he may take pains to point out that his father started life in America as a farmer or

laborer of some sort.

This

attitude

toward

manual

(

体力的

)

labor

is

now

still

seen

in

many

aspects

of American

life.

One

is

invited

to

dinner

at

a

home

that

is

not

only

comfortably

but

even

luxuriously

(

豪华地

)

furnished

and

in

which

there

is

every

evidence

of

the

fact

that

the

family

has

been

able

to

afford

foreign travel, expensive hobbies, and college education for the children; yet the hostess probably will

cook the dinner herself, will serve it herself and will wash dishes afterward; furthermore,

the dinner

will not consist merely of something quickly and easily assembled from contents of various cans and a

cake or a pie bought at the nearby bakery. On the contrary, the hostess usually takes pride in careful

preparation

of

special

dishes.

A

professional

may

talk

about

washing

the

car,

digging

in

his

flowerbeds, painting the house. His wife may even help with these things, just as he often helps her

with the dishwashing. The son who is away at college may wait on table and wash dishes for his living,

or

during

the

summer

he

may

work

with

a

construction

gang

on a

highway

in

order

to

pay

for

his

education.
