One stride at a time, Tom Panek and his guide dog, Gus, inch closer to their goal. The two have been training in local parks for more than three years with the hopes of competing in an official longdistance race. It’s never been done before. “I’ve been running my whole life. I ran on my crosscountry team in high school, and I ran as a young adult,” Panek said. He lost his sight 25 years ago. “When I lost my sight I was too scared to run,” Panek said.
As he adjusted to his blindness, he began running with a human guide, but it wasn’t the same. “Although many people run with running clubs, at the end of the day you’re running your own race. And when you’re tied to another person, it’s no longer your own race. The independence isn’t quite there,” Panek said.
Two years ago, Panek became the CEO of Guiding Eyes for the Blind. The idea of a running guide program was first suggested by Richard Hunter, who was blind and looking to get back in to running.
“Richard shouted out, ‘I’m really curious, have you ever trained a guide dog to run？’ And I said, ‘I don’t know. It hasn’t been done,’” Panek said.
A few months and intense training sessions later, the running guide program was born. Panek and a small team helped train Klinger, a German shepherd, to aid Hunter with running.
He formed a team of experts to train a small group of dogs to run long distances. The dogs begin their training at 18 months old. It’s an exclusive club. Out of 165 graduate dogs, only about 12 are considered race ready.
The team’s final test would be a fivemile race through New York’s Central Park just one week before the New York City Marathon. It was Panek’s and Gus’s first competitive race. Before the race, Panek was overcome with emotion, wiping away his tears of appreciation to the dog who gave him his independence back.
“And crossing that finish line, you know it was a momentous (关键的) occasion for me,” Panek said.
1.How did Panek think of running with a human guide?
A.Inspiring. B.Challenging.
C.Rewarding. D.Disappointing.
2.What was Hunter curious about?
A.Training a dog guide to run. B.Getting back to run as a blind man.
C.Starting a running guide program. D.Running with a human guide.
3.Which of the following is mentioned in the article?
A.Dogs are reluctant to run long distances.
B.Few dogs are qualified to guide in running.
C.Some dogs are born to be a guide in races.
D.Dogs need to be trained for 18 months.
4.What does particular significance the final test have to Panek?
A.He won a big prize with Gus’ help.
B.His guide dog was treated well in the race.
C.He got his independence once again.
D.He ran to the finishing line without stopping.
