enjoy seeing in a funny video. But would you believe that a real surfing dog could help raise money for those in need? A dog named Lucky is using her special talents to do just that.
Lucky’ s trainer started coaching her to become a service dog when she was a puppy. Lucky did well during training. She learned how to turn on lights, open doors, and do other jobs. These skills would be useful for her to help a person with special needs.
Judy, the dog's trainer, concentrated (关注) on Lucky’s positive qualities. Like most dogs, Lucky loved water, so Judy took her to the beach, Lucky quickly became good at surfing. Her talent got people's attention. Judy decided that instead of being a service dog, Lucky would become a “surfing” dog. The idea was that Lucky could use her surfing talent to raise money to help people.
Lucky’s first charity event was in 2009. She starred at an activity to help a teenager named Patrick. Patrick was unable to walk, but he had
always dreamed of surfing. At the event, Patrick and Lucky were supposed to use their own surfboards. Lucky decided to jump on Patrick’s board, however. They surfed together and raised $10,000. The money helped pay for Patrick’s medical treatment and his own service dog.
Encouraged by this event, Judy started the organization named Surfing for Paws-abilities. Lucky now travels to different places and surfs at events to raise money for the organization that helps people in need.
Not only does Lucky raise money but also what she has done inspires many other organizations to help both people and animals. She’s surfed to make money to buy pet masks for fire departments. She’s surfed at charity events to help fight human and animal cancer. She’s even shown off her surfing skills to raise money to buy teddy bears for children in hospitals and people in nursing homes. As of 2012, this amazing dog has raised $250,000 to help those in need. 45. What is Lucky’ special talent? A. Surfing on board. B. Turning on lights. C. Making a video. D. Opening doors

When it comes to days of the week, Monday gets little expectation. I surveyed friends, and the results were very clear. When asked which day of the week they like the least, 90 percent of my friends chose Monday. Not one person thought of Monday as his or her favorite day. Songwriters have even written a song about horrible Mondays. In the 1960s, a musical group had a hit titled “Monday, Monday.” They sang, “Every other day of the week is fine, yeah. But whenever Monday comes, you can find me crying all of the time.” I don’t agree with all these ideas. In fact, I think that Monday is actually the best day of the week.
First of all, consider all the good things that happen on Mondays.
