Every weekday morning I take the 8：30 bus to go to my job． I know by sight several people who also ride that bus． Some of the girls work as maids． They get off at each stop in stop in ones ,twos or threes．
But at one corner something wonderful happens． Before the bus stops, a little dog races out of the nearest house． He doesn't look at two of the maids who get off． But for the third he has a joyful "Hello!" from head to tail his little body wags his happiness． Everyone on the bus watches until the maid and the dog go into the house．
One day not long ago the maid wasn't on the bus． I wondered if the dog would be waiting for her． Sure enough, he was!
He stood at the back door of the bus for a minute． I could see his joyful welcome turning into fearful worry． Where was she?
The driver closed the back door． The dog raced to the front door． It, too, shut in his face．
Everyone on the bus felt sad． Poor little pup! He looked so unhappy, standing there!
The driver couldn't stand it ．He opened the door and looked down at the dog． "She didn't come today," he said, in a loud, kind voice．
A man in a front seat leaned forward． "Maybe she will come tomorrow," he called．
The dog wagged his tail as if to say "Thank you ．"He watched the bus as we pulled away． Then he turned to trot home alone．
The next day everyone on the bus was happy to see the maid back again． Yes, the dog was waiting for her．
The welcome he gave her was even warmer and more delighted than usual． We all smiled at one another． How bright and good the morning suddenly seemed to us．

In the 1940s, Pinehaven Park was one of Crafton City's loveliest recreation(娱乐)areas. Over 40 acres of woods and fields were open to the public. In the 1950s, part of the park was taken over by Crafton City's garbage. Fifteen acres were to be used for landfill disposal(理置). As time went on, more and more of the park was used for garage disposal and less for recreation. Two years ago, the park was closed to the public for good. Along with household garbage, industrial chemicals had for years been dumped (倾倒)in the Pinehaven landfill. These poisonous chemicals had begun to seep(渗)back up through the soil. All of Pinehaven Park had become dangerously polluted.
Last year, the fish in the Crafton River began to die. After a series of investigations(研究), it became clear that the people of Crafton City were not to blame. 100～150 miles upstream, big paper mills were dumping industrial wastes into the river. Little by little, the level of poison in the river began to rise. Finally, it became so polluted that the fish themselves could no longer survive.
Downtown Crafton used to be a quiet area. Ten years of remarkable growth changed that in a big hurry. But with Crafton City's new prosperity(繁荣)came a new problem: air pollution. And it is a serious problem. Air pollution levels in Crafton are regularly reaching those of the nation's large industrial cities.

(2)According to the passage, what portion of the park had originally been marked for use as a garbage dump?
