12、morning, as we were farthest from school, and the last student off in the evening. I was a teacher myself and it was a comfort to realize the school staff （职员） were all working as hard as I was to provide a safe learning environment. One day I came home from work and waited for my son to get home fo

13、r a long time. Then I called the school.“Perhaps hes just a bit late,”said the secretary.“I will call the driver to see if those children are home.”A few minutes later, I answered the phone to hear that the other students were home. Then I called his friends parents, to see if perhaps he had got off

14、 at their stop to play. The answers were all “No.” By that time, it was dark and I was scared. My home was in the mountain areas, and it was said that a wolf had come up somewhere. My husband wasnt at home, so I forced myself to calm down and decided to go out to look for him. I was about to go out

15、when the telephone rang; it was from the driver. “Hes okay,” I heard. “He was asleep on the seats in the back, under a couple of jackets.

16、t to the driver, so he could check off the childrens names when they got off the bus.

It is named Winston, and it will be trained to be a Helping Hands monkey. Helping Hands is a program

20、that trains monkeys to be helpers for quadriplegics （四肢瘫痪者）. Winstons preparation begins soon after its birth when it is placed with a foster （代养的） family. The foster family spends a lot of time hugging Winston. This close human contact （接触） is important to help it develop a strong attachment to peo

21、ple. Winston already has a lot of characteristics that will be useful to quadriplegics. Like humans, Winston has hands and it can pick up something as small as a piece of thread. It has a tail that it can use to carry objects, hold on to things, and keep its balance. Monkeys such as Winston are also

22、 intelligent and they learn the same way human babies do. Being reared in a human environment will make Winston a better pupil when its real training begins. When Winston is four years old, the foster family must return it to the training center. At the center, Winston has a patient trainer named Li

28、hat time, in 1999, twenty-one weeks in uterus was the earliest that the surgical team would consider for operation.
