二、阅读理解。
More and more families like to keep dogs as pets. But not all dog owners think of others while they are walking their dogs. So many towns and cities around the world face a mess of left-behind feces（粪便）from dogs.
A town in France started a new project to teach dog owners a lesson. The government sent about 20 volunteers to search the streets carefully, looking for people who wouldn't clean up after their dogs. Once they found one, they would then move nearer to the pet owner, and start a talk in order to get the dog's name. "With the name of the dog and its type, we can easily discover the owner from the registered database（注册数据库）held in the town hall," an officer explained. The volunteers would then pick up the dog feces and the package would be posted to the pet owner's house. In the past few months, the town has seen a 70% decrease in the amount of dog feces left in public streets.
Maybe many cities in our country can follow its example. In this way there will be fewer complaints about dog owners in China in the near future.
