 阅读下面的短文,完成阅读摘记。

It is the Year of the Dragon. Of the 12 animals of the Chinese zodiac(生肖), the dragon is the only unreal one. But Chinese people have loved it so much for thousands of years. In China, dragons have long bodies but no wings. They mean good luck. They have a strong ability to control the weather and bring rain.

In the West, dragons also have a long history in old stories and films. Dragons there have shorter bodies and big wings. They are often bad. Some of them can breathe fire from their mouths.

What may be surprising is that the dragons share similar origins. Both Eastern and Western books said dragons were like snakes. One of the earliest pieces of dragons can go back to more than 5,000 years ago in China. Some looked like snakes in a "C" shape. The Penguin Book of Dragons in the West also said people in the ancient world often described dragons as big snakes.

What might have made us come up with the idea of dragons in the first place? Carl Sagan, a scientist, answered the question in a book called The Dragons of Eden: Speculations on the Evolution of Human Intelligence. He thought people created dragons from what they saw and how they felt.

B. 根据短文内容和所给中文或首字母提示,用单词正确形式完成以下短文。每空限填一词。

Guide dogs have long acted as the "eyes" of  {#blank#}1{#/blank#}(失明的) people. They can't get around w{#blank#}2{#/blank#} the help of a well-trained guide dog. Training guide dogs is a difficult {#blank#}3{#/blank#}(任务) , but thanks to The Seeing Eye, we're able to get the most out of the four-legged friends.

The Seeing Eye is the world's o{#blank#}4{#/blank#} guide dog school. They began to raise and train lots of guide dogs in 1929.

When Seeing Eye dogs are seven or eight weeks, they are sent to the homes of volunteer — Dog Raiser(抚养者). They teach the dogs {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(基本的) manners and commands(要求), and take them outside on streets and public transport. 

When the dogs are 13 to 19 months old, the raisers {#blank#}6{#/blank#}(返还) them to The Seeing Eye. Each dog is assigned (分配) to a trainer with w{#blank#}7{#/blank#}they will train for four months.

Once the four-month training {#blank#}8{#/blank#}(结束) , the trainer will train the dogs with their new owners(主人) for 18 to 25 days.  

"Training a guide dog requires lots of work and {#blank#}9{#/blank#}(耐心), but it's well worth the 

{#blank#}10{#/blank#}(精力) ," says Emily Foster, who works for The Seeing Eye. "I feel happy every time I see a working guide dog in the street."
