The Recycling CenterStudents at an elementary school in Chicago studied ecology （生态学）．They learned that there was so much rubbish that it was a world-wide problem．They asked their teacher if they could do something to help solve the problem．"It is a very big problem．"the teacher said，"but if every community helps，that would really make a difference．"
The students decided to set up a program called Saturday Recycling Center．They would collect rubbish and then get it to a place．The students used the Internet to find out more about recycling in Chicago．They found that there are 15"drop off"places，where people can bring rubbish to get it recycled
The students had to work out how to get the rubbish
to the place．They went to talk with the leader of the church（教堂） near their school．
They knew that he drove a van．They asked him to help with their plan．
The churchman agreed to help．He said he would pick up the rubbish on the first Saturday of each month．So everything was organized．All the students needed was rubbish to recycle．
The students made posters to put in stores in the neighborhood．The churchman advertised die new recycling program at the church service．The community center put a note about the recycling center in their monthly newsletter．The students went into the other classrooms at their school and asked children to tell their families about the Saturday recycling．
The first Saturday was beyond their expectations．In fact，they got so many rubbish that the churchman had to make two trips to take it all to the"drop off"place．Now most people in the community know the first Saturday is the time to recycle．

Go to your local public library，and you will find an unusual activity is appearing more and more：Practicing reading with trained dogs．How would you feel about taking time once a week to read aloud to a dog？
Each dog in a reading program experiencea special training session．The trainers also receive training； they learn how to interact（互动）with the students and the dogs．Each program has high standards．There have been many studies of the interactions between humans and dogs that show dogs lower people's blood pressure and heart rate．People become more relaxed and calm and will completely forget what they are scared of when they have a dog nearby．
Unlike at school，where students sit at desks or tables，students and dogs sit together on special reading mats．Some students lie next to the dogs．Each student reads to one dog，so there is a quiet din of voices in the room．The dog has been taught a command to pay attention to the reader．So when the trainer sayssomething to the dog，itfocuses on the studentat once．But sometimes，the students read the dogs to sleep!
The dog's trainer is also present．He or she watches the dog carefully to make sure that the dog behaves．Sometimes，the trainer gives the dog a break when the dog becomes restless．While the trainer doesn't help with the reading，the trainer talks to the student about the dogandexplains how to take care of pets and how to be safe around animals．
Students who read to dogs show the benefits of this interaction．They are calmer and can avoid worrying about getting all the words correct．The dog just wants to hear the story．As students learn more about the dogs they read to，they also learn that they have gained a new friend．
Not only do students change their reading habitswith the dogs during the program，but they also change their school habits．Their reading skills increase by twelve to twenty percent．They start raising theirhands and answering questions more often．They pay more attention in class．Some students start arriving at school earlier and are absent less often．
Dogs are not just for playing fetch with anymore．Now they can help people become better readers．Next time you visit your local library，be on the lookout for four-legged creatures （生物） who want to hear a good story．
