When was the last time you used a phone booth on the street? With the rise of mobile phones, they have become something out of date. But Shanghai is trying to bring new life to the old phone booths by turning them into mini—libraries.
Shanghai plans to divide 263 phone booths in Xuhui district into six new types. One type will each offer 60 books for people to read or borrow. A second type will— allow users to listen to audiobooks（有声书）and even record their own voices. A third type will become " Celebrity Exhibition Halls（名人亭）",showing old photos and works of famous artists like Ba Jin and Zhang.
Shanghai is not the only city trying to save the old phone booths. The British has cared about them even more, since the red phone booths became a part of the country’s identity（标识）. The world‘s first phone booth was built in the 1880s in Germany. But in the 1930s the UK painted them red and made them a special attraction in cities.
In recent years the country has come up with many ideas to help phone booths stay useful. The UK company British Telecom has added screens and free WiFi to some booths. Users can use them to surf online and search for maps and weather reports.
The company also allows people to rent（租） some booths to change them as they want to. Since 2009, more than 1, 500 phone booths have been turned into flower shops, mini—cafes, art museums and even shower rooms（浴室）, according to the Sina News.
Maybe in the future phone booths will become city attractions once again, but in a more creative way.

You must have read or heard of the sad love story between Jia Baoyu and Lin Daiyu. But can you imagine the two singing opera in English instead of speaking poetic Chinese?
Jia and Lin are two characters from the classic Chinese novel A Dream of Red Mansions（《红楼梦》）, written by Cao Xueqin（1715—1763）. Now the book has been made into an English—language opera. The opera was first performed last September in San Francisco, US. This month it comes to Beijing, Changsha and Wuhan.
Many of the opera’s creators have backgrounds（背景）in both Chinese and American cultures, including the director and playwrights. Their understanding of both cultures helped them to change a Chinese classic into a foreign—language opera.
The book, which covers the rise and fall of the Jia family, has 120 chapters and hundreds of characters. But opera writer David Henry Hwang cut down the number of characters to just seven. Hwang, a Chinese—American, focused on the love story between Jia and Lin and tried to write a heartbroken tragedy（悲剧） that everyone would understand.
The art director Timmy Yip, from Hong Kong, tried to help foreign people understand the characters using costumes（服装） and stage settings（布景）. He compared Lin to water and gave her a light green costume. When Lin shows up on stage, there is usually water around her on the stage.
The creators consider it to be a meaningful job to introduce a Chinese classic to Western audiences. Hwang told China Daily he was happy to “have made a contribution to the land where my parents were born.”

2.The opera was________

3.Which of the following is NOT a difference between the book and the opera?
A.The language used. B.The sad love story.
C.The number of characters. D.The whole family’s story.
4.Why did the creators make the book into an English—language opera?
A.Because they have backgrounds in Western culture.
B.Because they thought the book was not good enough.
C.Because they hope to help others learn English.
D.Because they wanted Westerners to know about the Chinese novel.
5.The best title of the passage is________.
