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．

Are you looking for something fun and would you like to help others in your spare time? Then join us to be a volunteer （志愿者）! We’re a non-profit(非盈利) organization. We have volunteer jobs of all ages. Anyone, from twelve-year-old children to people in their seventies can become a volunteer. You can help people in many ways. Schools need help with taking care of children while parents are working. Hospitals need volunteers to look after children while their parents are seeing a doctor. Animal lovers can help take care of those dogs and cats without homes. There is something for everyone.“As a volunteer, I don’t want to get anything. Seeing the children’s happy faces, I’m happy, too.” said Carlos, an old woman of 62. “ I often played computer games in my spare time before. Now I help older people learn how to use computers.” said another volunteer at the age of 18.

If everyone helps out a bit, we’ll have a better world to live in. Interested? Call us 1-800-555-5756 or visit our website: www.activol. com.
