Pet Therapy Program
Our program involves trained volunteers and their dogs who visit the children at CHOP. This program gives the children the opportunity to interact safely with the dogs and receive their unconditional love and acceptance in the hope of making the hospital environment more comfortable and less stressful and helping them recover.
For the safety of our patients and their families, we ask all possible volunteers to meet the following requirements:
● Age. You must be 188 years or older, and your dog must be at least one year old.
● Certification. We require all therapy dogs and handlers have a current therapy certification through Delta Society or Therapy Dogs International.
● Time commitment. We ask pet therapy volunteers to commit to a minimum of one two-hour shift (轮班) per month.
● Health. All volunteers and their dogs are required to be healthy. Volunteers have to receive the seasonal flu vaccine (疫苗), which is provided free of charge at CHOP. Dogs cannot be on a raw food diet at any time during their participation in the program. Dogs must be washed within 24 hours of the visit and dry upon entering the hospital.
● Restrictions. Volunteers must obey all patient confidentiality (隐私) guidelines and hospital policies. Dogs must be on leash (皮带). For identification purposes, your dog must wear a piece of colored cloth at all times while in the hospital.
If you’re interested in our program, please call 215-590-2001 or e-mail PPPTP@email. chop. edu.

Tommy is four years old, an age that children usually have a lot of questions. Every time when he goes out with parents, he asks a million questions. Some are embarrassed. Last week he asked a middle-aged woman, “How old are you?” She didn’t answer. Maybe when he grew up, he won’t ask so many questions.
Last summer vacation, I was invited to be an instructor at a high school ____ camp. On the first day, I ____ a boy under the tree. He was small and seemed ____. I walked toward him and said, “Come and join us, Tom?” He quietly replied, “No, that’s really not my ____.”
The next day I found myself leading camp songs. The campers eagerly ____. Again I saw the boy from under the tree, sitting alone. From that day on, I spent time with him ____ I could.
___ I knew it, it was the final night of camp. ____ , I saw him, who was now a shirtless dancing wonder. I watched as he shared meaningful time with people at whom he couldn’t even ____ just days earlier.
Three months passed, I got a late-night phone call. A soft-spoken ____ voice asked politely, “Is Kevin there?”
“You are talking to him. Who’s this?”
“This is Tom’s mother. Do you remember him from leadership camp?” A long pause followed. “My Tommy was walking home from school yesterday when a car hit him.” she continued.
___, I offered my condolences(慰问).
“Tommy ____ you so many times. I wanted you to know that he went back to school this fall with ____. Thank you for making a difference.”
In that instant, I realized how ____ it is to give a bit of yourself every day. You may never know how much each ____ may mean to someone else.

The world has a water problem which is simple to understand but not to solve. The amount of water in the world is limited. Water usage in the world has increased during the past 10 years. Usages will continue to increase as the population grows and uses more water. A third of the world’s population lives in countries that have too little water. 1.
It’s strange to think that there is more than enough water available for everyone’s basic needs. 2. Some countries are much drier than others, for example Sudan in Africa. The UN says that people need a minimum of 50 litres of water a day for drinking, washing, cooking and sanitation(卫生). In 1990, over a billion people did not have even that . 3. Water shortages can mean long walks to get water, high prices to buy it, food insecurity and disease from drinking dirty water.
Governments that try to improve water supplies need to think carefully about how to do this. Dams and other large projects now affect 60 percent of world’s largest rivers and provide millions with water. 4.
5. New technology can help, especially by cleaning up pollution and so making more water usable, and in agriculture, where water use can be made far more efficient. For millions of people around the world, solving the problem is a matter of life and death.
A.So what can help?
B.The rest along major rivers in the world have no worry about water.
C.Unfortunately, it’s poor people who suffer most.
D.By 2025, scientists expect this to increase to two-thirds.
E.It’s just not spread evenly throughout the world.
F.Meanwhile, electricity from these dams can provide people with clean energy.
G.But in many cases, homes and the environment are destroyed as a result.
There is a Website called the “World Database of Happiness”. It combines and analyzes the results of hundreds of surveys from around the world that have been conducted on life satisfaction. Most of the findings are predictable, but a few are surprising.
The database makes it clear that there is not a strong connection between material wealth and general satisfaction. It is a cliche to say that money can’t buy happiness, but the old saying seems to be supported by research. Many people still believe that gaining riches will be the answer to all their problems, yet they are probably mistaken.
Studies have been carried out on people who got sudden wealth, such as lottery winners. In most cases, after the initial joy had worn off, people were not left with a sense of lasting happiness. In fact, they tended to go back to the way they felt before they became rich.
If material wealth does not bring happiness, then what does? Perhaps happiness has something to do with where you live. The authorities at the World Database on Happiness have surveyed levels of happiness in different countries. Obviously, people in America, Canada, and Singapore are very happy; people living in India and Russia, not surprisingly, are not happy.
Other surveys consistently point to the importance of relationships. Family relationships in particular seem to be the key to long-term happiness. The website suggests that falling in love and having children are two of the situations that bring the greatest happiness.
Nowadays people look to technology as another source of satisfaction. People increasingly spend more time alone watching TV or surfing the Internet rather than spending time with family. Can technology truly make people happy? It is too difficult to tell, but one thing is sure: If the website’s research is right, time spent with your family is a better investment than time spent making money.

A.share stories of happiness B.find out the reason for happiness

2.What does the word cliche(Para.2)mean?
A.Traditional custom. B.Proved theory.

B.A student who has three high-income part-time jobs in India.
C.A mother who stays with her family everyday in America.

4.What seems to be the author’s advice about happiness?
A.Levels of happiness vary from country to country.
B.Making money is not the only way to happiness.
C.It is uncertain whether technology make people happy.
D.A good family relationship is the key to lasting happiness.
5.What’s the author’s attitude to technology?
