32、th word by word, sometimes letter by letter. In class, she would hear the other kids flip through the pages on assignments and go on to the questions while she was still doing battle with the first paragraph.She was as frustrated as she was discouraged. But she didnt know of any other way until her

33、4th grade teacher, Miss Pollock, told her about something called Learning Ally.Learning Ally is a non-profit organization that offers audio versions of books. A crew of volunteer readers has recorded 75,000 classic novels, childrens books, and school textbooks that help more than 300,000 students an

40、xia and helped othersCIn today9s throw-away society, dealing with the citys growing mountain of waste is an increasing challenge for the city council(市议会).Recently, Edinburgh is faced with the problem of disposing of about 250,000 million tons of waste a year. Despite different ways to dispose of mu

41、ch of it in a green manner largely through encouraging recycling its aging facilities such as the Powderhall landfill do not have the ability to deal with it.The European Union(EU) has issued a new policy, regulating how such mountains of waste are to be disposed of. The five councils (Edinburgh, Ea

42、st Lothian, West Lothian, Midlothian and Borders) face fines of around 18 million a year from 2013 if they dont increase recycling levels and rely less on landfills. With this in mind, the councils got together with the idea of building a large incinerator plant(垃圾燃烧厂)to burn half of the waste produ

43、ced in their districts. But this plan fell apart after the change of target levels by a new UK government waste policy which required that no more than 25% of the citys waste should be disposed of in this way by 2025.After the plan was abandoned, a private company that already transported millions o

44、f tons of the citys waste by train to a landfill site near Dunbar, offered an alternative solution when it suggested opening a huge waste site near Portobello.Since Powderhall is supposed to close in 2015, it seemed necessary for the members of the Edinburgh Council to accept the suggestion. But soo

45、n they turned it down - after 700 local objections reached them because it would have meant hundreds of lorries a day making loud noise through heavily populated areas.5/11That still leaves the council with a problem. By 2013, only 50% of 1995 levels of waste will be allowed to be sent to landfills.

46、 Even if recycling targets are met, there will still be a large amount of rubbish to be burnt up. Due to this, Edinburgh and Midlothian councils have now decided to work together to build an incinerator plant as time to find a solution is fast running out.27.
