    Many teenagers want to look cool. But not everyone can afford to have a lot of cool clothes. Chloe Murray, an eighth- grader at Jefferson Middle School in the US, had an idea to solve this problem. She opened a charitable(慈善的) clothes closet.

    Her school agreed with the good idea, too. The school let her use a room for the project. Chloe's classmates joined her as well.

    Last month, the charitable clothes closet, called Chloe's Closet, opened. It's full of trendy clothes for girls and boys to help students look their best.

    "Confidence(自信) is a big thing in middle school, especially when it comes to clothing," Chloe told the Chicago Tribune, a daily newspaper in Chicago, the US.

    But where are the clothes from? Many people from the school's community(社区) and neighboring schools gave away used clothes, and the clothes are still new. The clothes closet is only open after school from

Monday to Friday. Students can "buy" these clothes by getting "money". They can get "money" when they hand in their schoolwork on time or make corrections(改正) on homework. Since it opened, they have "sold" about 100 things to students.
