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(自傳) 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(活動(dòng)) 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.

Our grandparents seem to have magic powers sometimes. Give them a Chinese lunar calendar, and they will know what weather will be like days or even months later.

1. They are following the 24 Solar Terms(節(jié)氣), which is an important part of Chinese culture. And on Nov. 30th, 2016, the United Nations (UN)added it to the List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity(人類非物質(zhì)文化遺產(chǎn)).

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.

3. They studied the sun’s movement with a sundial(日冕儀).They also paid attention to other natural changes such as temperature, water and crops growth. In the end, they worked out the 24 Solar terms to mark the changes.

4. For example, the solar terms jingzhe(驚蟄)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.

The 24 Solar Terms is honored as China’s fifth great invention, after papennaking, printing, the compass and gunpowder.5. For example, people will say, “Do not show your feet after Hanlu(寒露).” Why? It’s because the solar term “Hanlu” marks the coming of the cold days.

B.But people found a way.

C.The terms became their guide to farming work.

D.What’s the secret?
