That night, they collected about $17 in pennies, nickels, and dimes for children overseas who had lost everything in World War II. It doesn't sound like much, does it? Yet that single carton of loose change grew into one of the longest-running kids' fundraising traditions in American history. The idea was simple but powerful: while you fill your own bag with treats, you could also fill a box for a stranger halfway across the globe.  \nBehind that first rattling carton stood a Presbyterian minister named Clyde Allison and his wife, Mary Emma, who wanted trick-or-treaters to do a little good along the way. They connected the effort to UNICEF, the United Nations agency created in 1946 to help children after the war. Back then there was no famous orange box-just whatever container a family could decorate and carry. The Allisons' little experiment caught on because it asked almost nothing of children except a knock and a smile. Word spread from one Pennsylvania neighborhood to churches, schools, and towns across the country.  \nThat plain milk carton eventually traded its cardboard for the color that would make the program instantly recognizable. By the mid-1950s, UNICEF was mailing out bright orange collection boxes, small enough to fit in a child's hand and printed with a friendly design. Orange was a clever choice-it matched the pumpkins and autumn leaves of Halloween, so the boxes felt like they belonged in the night. Teachers handed them out in classrooms, and children carried them alongside their candy bags from porch to porch. A box that small could still hold several dollars in coins, and thousands of boxes added up fast.  \nThose handfuls of dollars, multiplied by millions of children, turned into real help you could measure. UNICEF uses the money for things children around the world need most: clean water, vaccines, food, school supplies, and emergency aid after disasters. A surprising fact is how far a little goes - a few dollars can pay for packets of a lifesaving mixture that fights the dehydration behind many childhood deaths. Over the decades, Trick-or-Treat for UNICEF has raised many millions of dollars in the United States alone. Every dollar of it began as pocket change dropped through a slot on somebody's doorstep.  \nRaising that kind of money changed how many families think about Halloween itself. For some kids, the orange box turned a night about getting into a night about giving, without taking away a single piece of candy. Schools began using it to teach geography and generosity at the same time, pointing to a map and asking where the help would go. The program even hopped borders, running in Canada and other countries where children wanted to join in. It proved that a holiday costume and a good cause can walk up the same driveway together.  \nToday the tradition still knocks, though it has learned some new tricks of its own. The classic cardboard box now shares the stage with online donation pages and school fundraisers, so kids can collect without carrying coins at all. UNICEF has even teamed up with games and apps to reach children who do their trick-  \nor-treating on a screen. Still, plenty of families print and fold the paper boxes the old-fashioned way, keeping a 1950 idea alive one penny at a time. Not bad for a tradition that started with a milk carton and about seventeen dollars in a Philadelphia neighborhood.  \nUNICEF Trick-or-Treat Boxes  \nName:  \n\n| Solve each problem.\u003Cbr>Use the article to answer the question.\u003Cbr>1) According to the passage, how much did the children in Philadelphia collect on that first Halloween in 1950?\u003Cbr>A.
