Find books in subway

Imagine this. Somebody hides free books in the subway for you to find and read. Sound exciting? Well, British actress Emma Watson, 26, 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 (2013) in 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. These books were put in different places in the subway. People saw Watson doing the same thing in the New York 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 called Books on the Underground. It calls on people to leave their books on the subway so other people can enjoy them too.

Hollie Belton, a woman in London, started the movement in 2012. She loves reading on the subway. She noticed that a lot of people shared her habit so she got the idea. Over the years, Belton has left over 2,000 books of her own. The movement has attracted more and more people.

Watson is a book lover as well. That’s why she tried it. Earlier this year, Watson set up her own online book club Our Shared Shelf. She reads a book every month with others. Mom & Me & Mom is the club’s book for November.

2.What did Watson’s note on each book ask people to do?

A. Give money to the charity. B. Take care of the books and share them.

3.Who is the first person to start the movement of Books on the Underground?

Rebecca, a British schoolgirl is eight years old, and she is one of the youngest people who have arrived on the tops of Snowdon, Scafell Pike and Ben Nevis, the three highest mountains in Britain.

Climbing isn't new to this schoolgirl. She took her first trip up a mountain in her dad's backpack when she was just six months old!

Along the way, she and her dad had fun by making up mountain songs.
