Imagine this. Someone hides free books on the subway for you to find and read. Sounds exciting? Well, a British girl named Emma Watson is doing it! She is known for acting as Hermione Granger in the Harry Potter movies.
Watson hid 100 copies of a book called Mom & Me & Mom on London's subway. The book is an autobiography(自传) from US writer Maya Angelou. It tells about the writer's relationship with her mother. She put the books in different places on the subway. People saw Watson doing the same thing on New York's subway this month.”
With each book, there is a handwritten note by Watson. She asked people to “take special care” of the books if they find them. She also wrote that “when you are finished, please leave it on the subway again for someone else to find”.
Watson's work is part of a movement(活动) called Books on the Subway. It invites people to leave their books on the subway so that other people can enjoy them too.
Hollie Belton, a woman in London, started the movement in 2012. She loves reading on the subway. She found that a lot of people shared her habit so she got the idea. Over the years, Belton has left over 2000 books of her own. Nowadays more and more people get interested in the movement because of her.
Watson is a book lover as well. That's why she tried it earlier last year, Watson set up her own online book club Our Shared Shelf. Now she reads one book every month with the club members. Mom & Me & Mom is the club's book for January this year.

The 24 Solar terms came into being during the Qin (211-206BC) and Han (206BC-AD220) dynasties. 2. So, weather changes were important. But of course, they had no satellite, Internet or weather broadcast to help them.

4. For example, the solar terms jingzhe(惊蛰)is when insects wake up from a long sleep in the cold winter. Farmers take it as a sign of warm weather and get busy working.

B.But people found a way.
C.The terms became their guide to farming work.
D.What’s the secret?
