Hard-working studentsBA seeing-eye dog is a special dog which helps blind people walk along the streets and do many other things.

The bus was full of people and there were on seats. One man, however, soon got up and left his seat. The dog took the blind man to the seat. But there was very little space. The dog began to push the people on each side with its nose. It pushed and pushed until the people moved down and at last there was enough space for two people.Then the blind man sat down and the dog got up on the seat at the side of the blind man. It lay down and put its head on the legs of the blind man. It was very comfortable and soon felt asleep. Everyone in the bus had a smile at cleverness of the dog in making space for the blind man, at the same time making space for itself.41. What does “seeing-dog” mean?A.

You probably answer “NO!”It seems that top athletes live in a world that is completely different from ours. However, if we could see into their minds, it would be clear that they are actually just like us.Just how an athlete becomes a success means for us all. To achieve their goals, sportspeople not only have to prepare physically, but mentally(内心地). They have to get to know themselves, manage stress and develop their powers of concentration. So they can put all their effort into their events.We may not be sports stars ourselves, but we have to face same problems. We set goals for ourselves and think about personal development. We have to manage our fears before big exams. We worry about our friendships with both classmates teachers.Like sportspeople, we try to be mentally strong and give our best.Only few of us will be competing in the Olympic Games. But, all the same, there is much we share with sports heroes. Just like athletes, how we feel influences our decisions, behavior and achievements.Top athletes show us that success isnt simply down to chance. We can control the direction of our lifes journey.任务一：请根据短文内容，分别写出、处所缺单词。（每
