An idea that started in Seattle’s public library has spread throughout America. The concept is simple: help to build a sense of community (社区) in a city by getting everyone to read the same

book at the same time.

In addition to encouraging reading as a pursuit (追求) to be enjoyed by all, the program allows strangers to communicate by discussing the book on the bus, as well as encouraging reading as an experience to be shared in families and schools. The idea came from Seattle librarian Nancy Pearl

who launched the “If All of Seattle Read the Same Book” project in 1998. Her original program author visits, study guides and book discussion groups to bring people together with a book, but the

idea has since expanded to many other American cities, and even to Hong Kong.

In Chicago, the mayor (市长) appeared on television to announce the choice of To Kill a Mockingbird as the first book in the “One Book, One Chicago” program. As a result, reading and neighborhood groups sprang up around the city. Across the US, stories emerged of parents and children reading to each other at night and strangers chatting away on the bus about plot and character.

The only problem arose in New York, where local readers could not decide on one book to represent the huge and diverse population. This may show that the idea works best in medium-sized

cities or large towns, where a greater sense of unity (一致) can be achieved. Or it may show that

New Yorkers rather missed the point, putting all their energy and passion into the choice of the

book rather than discussion about a book itself.

Ultimately, as Nancy points out, the level of success is not measured by how many people read

a book, but by how many people are enriched by the process, or have enjoyed speaking to someone

with whom they would not otherwise have shared a word.

17. What is the purpose of the project launched by Nancy?

A. To invite authors to guide readers.

B. To encourage people to read and share.

3

C. To involve people in community service.

D. To promote the friendship between cities.

18. Why was it difficult for New Yorkers to carry out the project?

A. They had little interest in reading.

B. They were too busy to read a book.

C. They came from many different backgrounds.

D. They lacked support from the local government.

19. According to the passage, where would the project be more easily carried out?

A. In large communities with little sense of unity.

B. In large cities where libraries are far from home.

C. In medium-sized cities with a diverse population.

D. In large towns where agreement can be quickly reached.

shared a word” in Paragraph 5 probably mean ___________.

20. The underlined words “

A. exchanged ideas with each other

B. discussed the meaning of a word

C. gained life experience

D. used the same language

21. According to Nancy, the degree of success of the project is judged by___________.

A. the careful selection of a proper book

B. the growing popularity of the writers

C. the number of people who benefit from reading

D. the number of books that each person reads

In the past, people who graduated from college felt proud of their academic achievement and confident that their degree would help them find a good job.

college However, in the past four years the job market has changed dramatically. This year’s

graduates are facing one of the worst job markets in years. For example, Ryan Stewart, a graduate of

San Jose University, got a degree in religious studies, but no job prospects. He points out that many

people already working are getting laid off and don’t have jobs, so it’s even harder for new c graduates to find jobs.

Four years ago, the future looked bright for the class of 2013. There were many high-tech job opportunities. Graduates received many job offers, and they were able to get jobs with high salaries
