【推荐2】Can you imagine a school with only one student? There is one on the Out Skerries Islands, and Aron is the only student.
The Out Skerries Islands, which are around 280 km from the coast of Scotland, are home to about 70 people. You can only get there by boat and it takes two and a half hours.
Aron wasn’t the only student at the school at first. Until July, there were several other students there. But now they are older, so they all go to college. Aron has been the only student since September.
The school is very small. It has two classrooms, an art room, a music room and a library. Each week Aron studies Maths, English, Science and Art with the same teacher. She also gives him P.E. lessons. He has the school playground all to himself. Of course, there is one problem. He has no one to play with.
Aron has lived in Out Skerries since he was born and he loves the outdoor life very much. He enjoys exploring the islands on his bike and swimming in the sea.
But his mother is worried that Aron might get lonely. She would like to see more families with children coming to live there. Many people have moved away since the local factory closed ten years ago. That’s why there are so few children on the islands and why Aron has found himself being known as the loneliest schoolboy in Britain.

【推荐2】When 7-year-old Ella was in hospital last year, she turned to one of her favorite activities for comfortable coloring. Now she’s collecting crayons to make sure young patients across the country can share the joy. Ella says, “I like that everyone can come up with something in imagination and draw it on a piece of paper.”
When she was in Rainbow Babies and Children’s Hospital, she asked her mother to go to the hospital playroom in search of crayons. She was told that the hospital could not provide the crayons because of cross contamination (交叉污染).
Knowing that Ella had the dream of sharing the joy of coloring with other young patients, Ella’s mother got a new idea. She started soliciting donations (募捐) through word of mouth and social media. With the help of her mom, Ella began her project Color Me A Rainbow. In a year, she collected 13,132 boxes of crayons and 254 coloring books donated from across the country. Ella has become known as “The Crayon Kid”.
“Neighbors and friends drove a half-hour to bring 10 boxes of crayons because they just wanted to be a part of it,” says Ella’s mom, whose storehouse (仓库) is filled with crayons and books. Ella writes a personal note to each recipient (接受的) hospital as well as to donators. And now hospitalized kids who received crayons and their parents are paying it forward by donating new boxes of crayons back to Ella’s project.
The little girl has big dreams. She wants to donate 1,000 crayon boxes to every children’s hospital in the USA and plans to send 5,000 boxes to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital in Memphis, Tennessee. And after she has reached every children’s hospital in the country, Ella says, “I want to help as many people as I can.”

【推荐3】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 experience a 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. The dog has been taught a command to pay attention to the reader. So when the trainer says something to the dog, it focuses on the student at 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 well. Sometimes, the trainer gives the dog a break when the dog becomes tired. While the trainer doesn’t help with the reading, the trainer talks to the student about the dog and explains 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 made a new friend.
Not only do students change their reading habits with the dogs during the program, but they also change their school habits. Their reading skills increase by twelve to twenty percent. They start raising their hands 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 the lives of city kids the same as those in villages? In many ways, they are very different. But what are the differences?
Hu Peng of Wuhan and four friends decided to find them out. Earlier this month, they lived for a week in Caidian, a village near Wuhan. Hu and his friends went door to door in Caidian and asked the kids there lots of questions. They wanted to learn more about village kids’ everyday lives, so they asked these questions like —Do your parents teach you how to do housework? How much money do you usually spend on dinner? What would you do if a thief (小偷) came into your house? They also asked 150 city kids the same questions.What’s the Difference?
Last week the team gave a report to their class. There are lots of differences between children’s lives in cities and those in villages. The biggest difference is independence. Hu’s team said that 60 percent of city kids couldn’t do much housework, but 90 percent of village kids could care for themselves.
City kids told Hu they cared about school a lot, and they had no time for washing clothes or making their beds. Village kids said they helped their parents with housework a lot. They cooked, did some cleaning and fed animals. Hu’s team also found that village kids had less pocket money (零花钱). Many never used computers. They played in rivers or on mountains. Some didn’t really like to make new friends.
Hu and his friends said their trip gave them more self-confidence (自信) because they were doing something by themselves. But
