Money with no strings attached. It’s not something you see every day.But at Union Station
in Los Angeles last month，a board went up with dollar bills attached to it with pins and a sign that
read，“Give What You Can，Take What You Need.”
People quickly caught on.And while many took dollars，many others pinned their own cash
to the board.“People of all ages，races，and socio-economic(社会经济的) backgrounds gave
and took，” said Tyler Bridges of The Toolbox，which created the project.“We even had a
bride in her wedding dress come up to the board and take a few dollars.” Most of the bills on the
board were singles，but a few people left fives，tens and even twenties.The video clip(片段)
shows one man who had found a $20 bill pinning it to the board.
“What I can say for the folks that gave the most，is that they were full of smiles，”
Bridges said.“There’s a certain feeling that giving can do for you and that was apparent in those
that gave the most.” Most people who took dollars took only a few，but Bridges said a very
small number took as much as they could.
While the clip might look like part of a new ad campaign，Bridges said the only goal was to
show generosity and sympathy.He added that he hopes people in other cities might try similar
projects and post their own videos on the Internet.
“After all，everyone has bad days and good days，” he said.“Some days you need a
helping hand and some days you can be the one giving the helping hand.”

Over the past few years，a new street art form in Sweden has been opening our eyes to a
world we had not given much thought to before.A collection of artists installed tiny buildings，
stores and cafes across the streets of Sweden and Europe designed to be inhabited by mice.
The scenes like the fairy tales that inspired them，are dreamy and adorable.A miniature record
store，complete with a bottle cap banjo(班卓琴)，a small restaurant，a travel agent，a jazz club
—all crafted to the tiniest detail.
“Well，it started with a few of us just wanting to construct something in a public setting，
and the discussion narrowed in on our love for the movies of Disney，” said Jim Hanks，one
artist of this group.“We like to think of it as something we ourselves would love to meet
unexpectedly in an otherwise dull concrete environment.” Now ， they’ve completed an
estimated 30 installations! Mostly in Malmo and Stockholm in Sweden.
After scouting a location，the group then research the local history of the area they are in to
inform their design.Once sketched out，the constructions take up to two months to build before
they are installed in the dead of night.
“We just want to bring a little bit of magic into people’s everyday lives，and maybe inspire
someone to create something on their own street，” Jim Hanks said.“We like to imagine a
world where small animals live parallel to us，and recycle objects we lose or throw away，so a
bottle cap becomes a chair，a box of matches becomes a table，a stamp becomes a painting and a
trash can becomes a restaurant.”
Michael Gehrisch，an American photographer based in Lund，Sweden，captured a few of
the dream-like miniature scenes on video，which show stunned onlookers bending impossibly low
to the ground to take pictures and admire the work.
4．What is the main feature of the works of these artists?
A．Animal-friendly. B．Multi-functional. C．Old-fashioned. D．Small-sized.

B．They have reused some old items in their works.
C．They want to give the city more musical elements.
D．They are inspired by their love for traditional architecture.
6．What does the author want to show by mentioning Michael’s video?
A．People’s love for this street art form.
B．The best way to appreciate the work.
C．Proper behaviors of onlookers in public.
D．People’s awareness of environmental protection.7．Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?
