【答案解析】[解析] 7-10
The following is an interview about training guide dogs．
M: Now, we've heard a bit about the breeds and the early training with volunteer families．Let's move on to what goes on at the centre．
W: Certainly．As I said, we get the dog just before it's one year old．First of all we teach it; it learns how to cross the road and how to walk around corners．Later on, they're also introduced to the special harness you see them wearing．Afterwards, we try to teach the dog to think for itself．
M: Think for itself! But it should always obey its owner, shouldn't it?
W: Not necessarily... [8]{{U}}Imagine the dog is given the command to cross the road when it knows it's dangerous．Obviously we want the dog to ignore the command．{{/U}}
M: I see...And how do you go about deciding who to place the dogs with?Doesn't this cause problems?
W: Yes, sometimes it does. We really have to try to match the dog with the owner．There's no point matching a lively dog with loads of energy with, say, an elderly person．
M: Mmm．And so what happens next?Don't you just deliver it to the new owner?
W: Absolutely not! [9]/[10]{{U}}The blind person comes to the centre and spends around a month here.{{/U}} They have to get used to each other of course．The dog has to transfer its affections from the trainer to its new owner．We have to help nervous owners as well．
M: So you have to be a human as well as a canine psychologist too．don't you?
