Question

【題目】 Shanghai is trying to bring new life to the old phone booths (電話亭). Six new types of booths are going to be built. One type will each offer 60 books to read or borrow. Another type will have users listen to audio books (有聲書) and even record their own voices.

Shanghai is not the only city trying to save the old phone booths. The British care about them even more. The world’s first phone booth was built in the 1880s in Germany. But in the 1930s in UK painted them red and made them special in cities.

In recent years the country has thought of many ideas to help phone booths stay useful. The UK company British Telecom has added screens (屏幕) and wifi to some booths. Users can use them to surf online. Also, users can change the booth as they want to after renting (租) one from the company. Up to now, more than 1,500 phone booths have been turned into flower shops, mini-cafes, and even shower rooms.

Maybe in the future phone booths will become popular once again.
