人教版八年级英语上册 Unit 2 Section B（含听力原文及翻译）

　　2b Skim the letter and answer the questions.Dear Miss Li,I'd like to thank you for giving money to Animal Helpers. I'm sure you know that this group was set up to help disabled people like me. You helped to make it possible for me to have Lucky. Lucky makes a big difference to my life. Let me tell you my story.What would it be like to be blind or deaf? Or imagine you can't walk or use your hands easily.Most people would never think about this, but many people have these difficulties. I can't use my arms or legs well, so normal things like answering the telephone, opening and closing doors, or carrying things are difficult for me. Then one day last year, a friend of mine helped me out. She talked to Animal Helpers about getting me a special trained dog. She also thought a dog might cheer me up. I love animals and I was excited about the idea of having a dog.After six months of training with a dog at Animal Helpers, I was able to bring him home. My dog's name is Lucky — a good name for him because I feel very lucky to have him. You see, I'm only able to have a "dog helper" because of your kindness! Lucky is very clever and understands many English words. He can understand me when I give him orders. For example, I say, "Lucky! Get my book," and he does it at once.Lucky is a fantastic dog. I'll send you a photo of him if you like, and I could show you how he helps me. Thank you again for changing my life.Best wishes,Ben Smith2b 亲爱的李女士：感谢你捐钱给动物帮助协会。我相信你知道这个组织是被建立去帮助残疾人的。你使我拥有lucky成为可能。lucky对我的生活有很大影响。让我告诉我的故事。如果一个人是聋的或者瞎的会怎么样？或者想象你不能很好的使用你的手。大多数人从没想过，但许多人有这些困难。我不能很好的使用我的手或脚，一些简单的事像接电话，开门关门，提东西对我来说是困难的。去年第一天，我的一个朋友帮助了我。她告诉动物保护协会关于给我一只特殊的训练狗。她也认为这只狗可以使我高兴。我喜欢动物，并且我对有一只狗的主意感到高兴。在经过了一只狗的六个月的训练后，我能够带她回家。他的名字叫lucky因为我对拥有他感到高兴。你可以看到我只有一个狗助手因为你的仁慈。lucky是一只聪明的狗而且理解很多英语单词。当我下命令时他可以理解。例如，我说：“lucky，给我书”他会立刻做。lucky是一只极好的狗。如果你喜欢，我会寄给你一张他的照片以及他怎样帮助我。再次感谢你改变我的生活。最好的祝愿本·史密斯
