Lesson53 A Seeing — eye Dog
A seeing-eye dog is a special dog which helps blind¹ people． We call these dogs “seeing-eye” dogs because the dogs are the “eyes” of the blind man and they help him to “see”． These dogs generally² go to special schools for several³ years of training⁴．
One day a seeing-eye dog and a blind man got⁵ on a bus together． The bus was⁶ full of people and there were no seats⁸． One man， however⁹， soon got up and left his seat⁷． The dog took¹⁰ the blind man to the seat， but there was very little space．
The dog began to push¹¹ the people on each side¹² with his nose． He pushed¹³ and pushed until¹⁴ the people moved down and finally¹⁵ there was enough space for two people． The blind man then sat¹⁶ down and the dog got up on the seat next to him． He lay¹⁷ down and put his head on the leg of the blind man． He was very comfortable¹⁸ and soon fell¹⁹ asleep²⁰．
Everyone on the bus smiled at the intelligence²¹ of the dog in making space for the blind man and， at the same time， making a place for himself²²．

代目狗
代目狗是专门用来帮助盲人的导盲犬。我们把这种导盲犬称之为“代目狗”，因为它们是盲人的“眼睛”，帮助他们“看”东西。通常，这些狗要到特殊的学校接受几年的训练。
一天，一只导盲犬和一个盲人一起乘坐巴士。巴士上坐满了人，没有剩余的座位。不过，很快有个人站起来，离开了座位。导盲犬领盲人走到座位，但座位那里的空间很小。导盲犬开始用鼻子推两边的人。它推呀，推呀，直到人们退后，空出了两个人的地方。盲人于是坐在座位上，而狗则爬上紧靠盲人的座位。它躺着把头放在盲人的腿上。它很舒服，不久便进入了梦乡。巴士上的人对导盲犬的聪明发出会心的微笑，它不仅为盲人找到了地方，同时也为自己找到一席之地。
