Have you ever heard of Monkey College? Who do you think goes to school there? If you said monkeys, you were right. Dogs are not the only animals that can be trained to help. Helping hands an organization in Cambridge, Massachusetts, trains capuchin monkeys to be companions and helpers for people in wheelchairs who can't move their arms or legs.

    More than 20 years ago, Dr. M. J. Willard was working with a person who had recently become paralyzed(瘫痪). She thought that a monkey might be able to help her patient with some basic housework. Dr. Willard was right. Not only can monkeys be trained to help people, they are also wonderful companions.

    Capuchin Monkeys are found in the wild in South Central America. They are about the size of a small cat and can live to be nearly 40 years old. They are very smart. They are also known for being friendly and good with their hands. Capuchin Monkeys have opposable thumbs ,which means they can use their hands much in the way that people do.

    Everyday tasks, like turning on a light, putting something in the microwave, or playing a CD player, can be difficult for someone who cannot use his or her arms and legs. Capuchin Monkeys can easily perform these tasks. This allow their owners more freedom. They can do things on their own and can live independently.

    The monkeys and their owners become friends and learn to depend on each other. Some owners say the monkeys are almost like children to them. The monkeys can be mischievous and sometimes like to play tricks on their owners. This is especially true of young monkeys. Mostly ,though, they like to please their owners. They like the tricks they receive when they do a good job, and they like to be praised.

    Helping Hands matches disabled people to monkey companions who can help them. But the close friendships between the monkeys and their owners happen all on their own.

We can see many traffic signs on both sides (边) of the roads or streets. Some tell the drivers what to do, and others tell them what not to do. The traffic signs are the traffic rules. All the people must obey the rules.
Each traffic sign has its meaning (意思). Do you see the sign “p”? Do you know its meaning?
In big cities, there are a lot of cars and buses. They can’t stop on the street. If a driver wants to stop his car, he must find a place for his car-a car stop. For a driver, how does he find a car stop? The traffic sign “P” can help him. “P” is the first letter of the word “Park” and its meaning is “You can stop your car her!” After the driver finds the car stop, he can park his car there. And then he can do other things.
It’s very important (重要的) to obey the traffic rules. If you live in the city and go to school by bike every day, you must be very careful, or you may have an accident. You can’t ride too fast, and you can’t let your classmates or friends sit behind you. You have to stop at a stop sign.
