In Britain, Australia, Canada and other places, Boxing Day is a national holiday. There are several thoughts on how the holiday became known as Boxing Day. The most widely held understanding of the origins (起源) of Boxing Day comes from a tradition among rich people. They would give a “Christmas Box” to their servants and other workers. The box would have money and gifts. The AP story says the start of Boxing Day may even date back to the times of the Romans. Roman invaders (入侵者) brought the practice to Britain. The tradition was then taken up by churches (教堂). Churches would put boxes outside their doors to collect money for the poor. Boxing Day is still celebrated today in many countries around the world. However, the United States is not one of them. But the Christmas holiday, which takes place the day before, is often filled with boxes. Boxes are useful for storing (储存) all kinds of things—especially gifts! It is fun to shake a gift box and try to guess what is inside. But an empty box can be just as much fun. Just ask any child...or any cat, for that matter. An empty box can lead to imaginative play. It can become anything! It can be a secret house in the forest or a boat on the open sea. That’s because children are masters at “thinking outside the box”. Someone who thinks outside the box is not controlled by rules or tradition. Instead, he or she always thinks about ideas and considers solutions that are creative and unusual. These are something about Boxing Day. Though plenty of families and businesses still celebrate Boxing Day by helping the less lucky, Boxing Day is now also celebrated with friends and family. 1．What is the main idea of Paragraph 2 A．How Boxing Day became popular.
