An idea that started in Seattle’s public library has spread throughout America and beyond. The concept is simple: help to build a sense of community 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 promoting reading as an experience to be shared in families and schools. The idea came from Seattle librarian Nancy Pearl who launched (发起)the "If All of Seattle Read the Same Book " project in 1998. Her original program used 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 Hongkong. 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 clubs and neighbourhood 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. 小题1: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. | C.To involve people in community service. | D.To promote the friendship between cities. | 小题2: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.T hey lacked support from the local government | 小题3: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 | 小题4: The underlined words “shared a word” in Paragraph 5 probably mean A.exchanged ideas with each other | B.discussed the meaning of a word | C.gained life experience | D.used the same language | 小题5: According to Nancy, the degree of students 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. |

There are many older people in the world and there will be many more. A little-known fact is that over 60 percent of the older people live in developing countries. According to the World Health Organization, by 2020 there will be 1 billion, with over 700 million living in developing countries. It is a surprising fact that the population aging is particularly rapid in developing countries. For example, it took France 115 years for the rate of older people to double from 7 percent to 14 percent. It is estimated to take China a mere 27 years to achieve this same increase. What are the implications of these increased numbers of older folk? One of the biggest worries for governments is that the longer people live, the more likelihood there is for diseases and for disability. Attention is being paid to the need to keep people as healthy as possible, including during old age, to lessen the financial burden on the state. Another significant problem is the need for the younger generations to understand and value the older people in their society. In some African countries, certainly in Asia, older people are respected and regarded as the ones with special knowledge. Yet traditions are fading away daily, which does not make sure the continued high regard of older people. As society changes, attitudes will change. Much needs to be done to get rid of age discrimination in employment. Life-long learning programs need to be provided to enable older people to be active members in a country’s development. Social security policies need to be established to provide adequate income protection for older people. Both public and private schemes are vital in order to build a suitable safety net. 小题1:The rate of older people________. A. is bigger in developed countries than in developing countries B. B. is one-seventh of the population in developing countries C. C. will increase much faster in China than in France D. D. will be sixty percent in developing countries by 2020 2.According to passage, which of the following are governments most worried About______. A. The diseases and disability of older people. B.
