四、阅读理解。〔人与自然——自然生态〕
A mental health hospital in Chengdu welcomes two dogs to work with psychological assistance therapy(心理辅助治疗).
The dogs are part of the Animals-Assisted Therapy(AAT) in the treatment project(治疗项目) for depressed(抑郁的) people. According to Chen Jiajia, who works with the hospital, AAT is a useful method for treating depression, and it helps a lot in treatment projects. The two dogs, "Lidabao" and "Xuegao", once worked in hospitals for children.
Chen said that earlier in January, a depressed boy called Jack, who didn't talk to anyone and even tried to kill himself, took part in the project. When
they met for the first time, the dogs seemed to feel Jack's depression and sat next to him quietly. Jack couldn't hide his surprise, and later shared his story about himself and his own pet.
Staying with the dogs helped Jack a lot. Then the boy became better and left the hospital with a new feeling of hope.
Not all the dogs can help with depressed people. The dogs are carefully picked from family pets. Then, the dogs have to take part in tests(测试). After passing the tests, the dogs will get working certificates(就业证明) and then they can work to help people in need.
