It is often said that dogs are“man's best friends”. But for some children in China, this idea has taken on an even deeper meaning.
Wu Qi, a dog trainer in Shanghai, started the Paw for Heal(PFH) programme in China about eight years ago. The programme trains dogs for animal-assisted therapy(动物辅助治疗). These animals help elderly people feel calm and less stressed. They also help people with mental(心理的)illnesses.
In Shanghai, the dogs have been trained to help kids with autism(孤独症). Autistic children are easily confused or scared by their environments. But when the PFH dogs are around, they feel much calmer.
Pet lovers can train their pets to become therapy dogs through PFH. Although this training is difficult(only 20 per cent of dogs end up passing the programme), it also helps a lot of people.
“She (my dog) makes me happy every day, and I think she can bring happiness to other people in need as well,” one pet lover Wang Rui said in a report.
Animal-assisted therapy is new to China. But Wu has high hopes for the future, as he is now working together with a Scottish organization to improve his programme.

B. Pet lovers don't want their pets to be trained.
C. Only one-fifth of dogs can pass the programme.
D. About 20 per cent of dogs end up dying.
( )30. What do we know about Wu Qi

Know what kindness really means.
31. It could be a small, simple act, like holding a door open, or something that takes time and effort, like making a playlist for your friend. Not only is kindness something you do, but it also means being caring about other people's feelings.

76. One possible version:
Dear Mr Zhang,
I'm Li Hua, a student in Grade 8. I'm writing to apply to be a volunteer of the“Hand in Hand” activity.
I'd like to help with work like sorting rubbish and sweeping floors because I have learnt many cleaning skills from my grandma. Besides, I'm getting along well with others and really patient when volunteering. So no matter how hard the work is, Iwill stick to doing it and try to finish it perfectly.
As for volunteering experience, I do have a lot. Since Istepped into the middle school, I have joined the volunteering club and have gained much experience from it.
Volunteering, to me, is not only helping others but also learning and growing. It brings warmth and makes a big difference to both our school and the communities. I would greatly appreciate it if I would be given the chance. Hope you can consider my application!
Yours,
Li Hua
