That's the strange and wonderful idea behind the little orange collection boxes that once turned up in the hands of trick-ortreaters across America. Instead of only shouting \"trick or treat!\" for candy, children rattled these small cardboard cartons and asked neighbors to drop in coins. The boxes were bright orange, stamped with the letters UNICEF, and light enough for a first-grader to carry all night. By the end of the evening, they jingled like tiny piggy banks stuffed with nickels and dimes.  \nThose jingling boxes didn't appear out of nowhere-they grew from one clever idea in Philadelphia in 1950. A Presbyterian minister named Clyde Allison and his wife encouraged the children of their Sunday school to collect spare change for kids overseas who were still suffering after World War II. That first Halloween, the children gathered about $17 in a decorated milk carton and sent it to UNICEF, the United Nations agency created to help children. Can you imagine seventeen dollars starting a tradition that would last for generations? What began as a single decorated carton would soon become a nationwide custom.  \nFrom that one carton, the idea spread across the country faster than a rumor at recess. UNICEF began printing the official orange boxes, and by the 1960s the campaign was known as \"Trick-or-Treat for UNICEF\"from coast to coast. Schools, churches, and neighborhood groups handed out the cartons every October, and children learned that a single coin could travel thousands of miles. Over the decades, the program has collected many millions of dollars in change, one nickel and dime at a time. It turns out that pocket money, when pooled together, can add up to a serious pile of help.  \nThat serious pile of help doesn't just sit in a bank- it turns into real things children need. The money UNICEF raises pays for lifesaving supplies like vaccines, clean water, nutritious food, and school materials in more than 190 countries and territories. A handful of coins might buy packets of therapeutic food for a hungry baby, or vaccines to protect a child from deadly diseases. In other words, the quarters you collect on one chilly October night can help a kid across the ocean stay healthy enough to grow up. That's a lot of power to pack into a cardboard box small enough to fit in a coat pocket.  \nToday those boxes have partly gone digital, but the heart of the idea beats as strongly as ever. Families can still order paper collection boxes, and many now raise money online through UNICEF's website instead. This matters because it teaches a lesson that outlasts any costume: helping others can be woven right into a night built around candy and fun. The next time you dump out your Halloween haul, remember that once, and still, kids turned that same night into a rescue mission for strangers. Not bad for a tradition that started with a decorated milk carton and about seventeen dollars.  \nUNICEF Trick-or-Treat Boxes  \nName:  \n\n| Solve each problem.\u003Cbr>Use the article to answer the question.\u003Cbr>1) What is the central idea of this passage?\u003Cbr>A.
