　　Mrs Weeks was reading a newspaper story to her class. The story said：Were you ever in a hospital when you were small? How did you feel? The doctors in Children's Hospital are asking for money for children's toys. Some children in the hospital must stay in bed for many weeks. Toys are needed to keep the sick children happy and quiet. Money for them can be sent to the hospital.

　　After Mrs Weeks read the story, she said, “This story gave me an idea.”

　　“You want us to bring some money for the toys.” “We could bring some of our own toys to the children in the hospital,” said the boys and the girls one after another.

　　“Well, your ideas would be nice,” Mrs Weeks said, “but mine is different.”

　　“We could make some toys,” shouted one of them.

　　Mrs Weeks smiled. “Do you think you could make toys?” she asked. “Yes, yes,” the whole class answered.

　　“Great! Let's begin to make toys tomorrow,” said Mrs Weeks.

　　On Saturday afternoon Mrs Weeks took the children to the hospital with the toys made by her students. The children in the hospital felt very happy to see the toys. So did the children in the class.

　　A few days later, Mrs Weeks read another newspaper story to the class:

　　Some school pupils brought toys to Children's Hospital last week. The toys were made by the pupils of Grade Three in Green Street School. The doctors said, “We have never had so many wonderful toys. Our children are very happy with them. They say, ‘THANK YOU GRADE THREE’.”

The red phone box in Britain is a perfect example of the British traditional culture. However, with the fast development of mobile phones, it has lost its place in people’s everyday life. In order to save their loved red phone boxes, people have come up with many ideas, for example, to turn them into toilets or art houses. 
In a village in Somerset, a place in South West England, villagers have found a new way to save their red phone box. They turned it into a mini library to deal with the shortage of libraries in their area. The idea was given by a local villager, Janet Fisher, who lives opposite the phone box. Villagers got together to set up the book box. Over 100 books and a lot of movies and music CDs are available at this mini library. The books are of different kinds, including from cooking books to the classics and children’s books. People can put the books that they have read inside the phone box, and take away the books that they’d like to read. The books are always changing. There is a regular check on the books to keep the phone box collection fresh.
Anyone is free to come to read books there. The phone box library is open every day around the clock and is lit (the past form of “light”) at night.  “ It’s very pleasing that the red phone box has been saved. More importantly, it can continue providing a service for us,” said one of the villagers.
【小题1】The red phone box has been a symbol of _________.
