18、tles 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 to be enjoyed by all, the program allows strangers to communic
19、ate by discussing the book on the bus, as well as promoting reading as an experience to be shared in families and schoolsThe 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 an
20、d 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 appeared on television to announce the choice of To Kill a Mockingbird as the first book in the One Book, One Chicago program. As
21、 a result, reading clubs 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
22、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 can be achieved. Or it may show that New Yorkers missed the point, putting all their energy and passion into the choice of the book r
23、ather than discussion about a book itself. Nancy points out that the level of success is not measured by how many people read a book, but by how many people are enriched by the processor have enjoyed speaking to someone with whom they would not otherwise have shared a word.41.

27、e most to encourage me was, as it happened, my aunt. She was Myrtle C. Manigault, the wife of my mothers brother Bill. She taught in second grade at all-black Summer School in Camden, New Jersey.During my childhood and youth, Aunt Myrtle encouraged me to develop every aspect of my potential, without
28、 regard for what was considered practical or possible for black females. I liked to sing; she listened to my voice and pronounced it good. I couldnt dance; she taught me the basic dancing steps. She took me to the theatre not just childrens theatre but adult comedies and dramas and her faith that I
29、could appreciate adult plays was not disappointed.My aunt also took down books from her extensive library and shared them with me. I had books at home, but they were all serious classics. Even as a child I had a strong liking for humor, and Ill never forget the joy of discovering Don Marquiss Archy
30、& Mehitabel through her.Most important, perhaps, Aunt Myrtle provided my first opportunity to write for publication. A writer herself for one of the black newspapers, she suggested my name to the editor as a “youth columnist”. My column, begun when I was fourteen, was supposed to cover teenage socia
31、l activities and it did but it also gave me the freedom to write on many other subjects as well as the habit of gathering material, the discipline of meeting deadlines, and, after graduation from college six years later, a solid collection of published material that carried my name and was my passpo
32、rt to a series of writing jobs.Today Aunt Myrtle is still an enthusiastic supporter of her “favorite niece”. Like a diamond, she has reflected a bright, multifaceted (多面的) image of possibilities to every pupil who has crossed her path.45. Which of the following did Aunt Myrtle do to the author durin

36、, lived through one hundreds, and sometimes thousands, a day. But they couldnt get used to it.What was it? It was a string of earthquakes that made the small town shake all the time. This went on for more than a year. Sometimes the quakes were very small. Only certain instruments could pick them up.
37、 At other times, the quakes damaged houses and land. The people were always afraid. They wished they knew how to stop the ground from shaking.People all over the world would like to know when an earthquake is coming. But an earthquake is almost always a surprise. Under the surface of the Earth, huge
38、 blocks of rock drift apart or slide against each other. The ground above splits apart or rumbles and shakes.Some scientists hope to predict quakes by keeping a close watch on animals. It seems that some animals can sense an earthquake coming. In 1969, animals in a Chinese zoo began to act funny one
39、 day. Swans flew out of their pond. A panda sat down, covered its eyes with its paws, and groaned. The animals seemed to know that something was about to happen. And it did. An earthquake struck. What was it that the animals sensed? Scientists are trying to find out.Keeping close track of the Earths
40、 magnetic force in earthquake areas may also help. A few years ago, in Hollister, CA, scientists kept a record of the areas magnetic pull. For one week, the force grew stronger. Then it weakened suddenly. A day later, an earthquake struck.It may become possible to know when and where an earthquake w
41、ill happen. But it will be much harder to stop one from happening.Many scientists think that the Earths covering is not smooth. They say the earths “skin” is made up of huge puzzle pieces called plates. Land and ocean floors make up these huge plates. Under the Earths crust (外壳), or plates, is hot r
42、ock. The plates float on top of this rock. Sometimes the rock forces its way through the crust. What happens then? A volcano is born! More often, the rock moves and forces the plates to pull away from each other, causing earthquakes to happen. (Volcanoes and earthquakes often go together.)Sometimes,
43、 the plates end up on top of each other. When this happens, the land above may look strange. Seen from the air, there seems to be a long scar in the Earth. This is called a fault (断层). The areas along faults have more earthquakes than other parts of the Earth.For now, well just have to shake along with the Earth. It goes through millions of small earthquakes every year. With luck, you wont feel a thing!49. In order to predict earthquakes, scientists can _. Which is wrong acco
