However, her grandmother took away all the money and put it in a bank account.Many students experienced the same thing as Chen. They got their gift money, only to immediately have it taken away.Xiong Shengyue, 14, from Nanjing, doesnt agree with the practice. I think the money should be the childrens, she said. We should take care of it by ourselves.It is not that simple, said Chu Chaohui, a researcher at national Institute of Education Sciences.Giving gift money is used to show social status (地位)and develop relationships, he told Beijing Legal Evening News.

So he thought that parents should still play a big part in dealing with the money.But Yan Honglan, a mother of a 14-year-old boy in Beijing, has let her son be responsible (承担责任的)for his gift money since the age of 8. I want to develop his financial(理财) skills, Yan said.She also added:No matter how you deal with the money, the most important thing is to make the children feel theyre respected(尊重) and trusted.Chen supported Yans idea.

But cities like Shanghai are trying to bring the old phone booths to life.Shanghai will make changes to 263 phone booths in Xuhui District. The Library Booth is one of the six new kinds of booths, offering 60 booths for people to borrow and read. Another kind allows users to listen to audiobooks( 有声书)and even record their own voices.Shanghai is not the only city trying to save the old phone booths. London cares about them even more, because the red booths have long been a special scene in London since the 1930s when they were painted all red. In recent years London 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.In New York City, three phone booths in Time Square are turned into places for immigrant(移民) voices. When visitors pick up the phone, they can listen to oral(口述) histories of immigration from the newest New Yorkers. They can also open the books inside the booth to know more about the storytellers. Or they can share a part of their own stories if they wish.Brazil made phone booths works of art. Sao Paulo paired 100 artists with 100 phone booths. Some artists painted on the booths, others made them sculptures- one was shaped like a brain and another wore a pair of shoes.Phone booths are finding creative ways to live on. Will they succeed?
