28、 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 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 clubs and neighborhood groups appeared 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.
Finally, 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.
【1】What is the purpose of the project launched by Nancy?
A.To invite authors to guide readers.
B.To involve people in community service.
C.To encourage people to buy books to read.
D.To strengthen the communication among citizens.
【2】What changes did the program bring to Chicago?
A.More citizens chose to go to work by bus.
B.More and more reading clubs were founded.
C.Parents preferred to watch TV with their children.
D.Strangers talked about the mayor more frequently.
【3】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.
【4】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.
29、The effects of working while attending school or college
Youths working while in school or college seems like a tradition in many countries and the trend is growing. A recent study has found that 80% of students in some countries have at least a part time job during their study years.
Why do students look for employment? 【1】 Education costs are high, and college tuitions have grown considerably during the last few years. Moreover, parents also contribute less toward covering the education costs of their children, which means students must earn their own money while studying.
Having a job during school or college years affects the students’ personal and academic lives. First of all, employed students have less free time and, as a result, they can’t be around their family or friends as often as they would want. They lack sleep and are more stressed, and they may even develop health problems. Furthermore, student employment also impacts academic performance. A new research shows that students working more than 20 hours a week have lower grades than those who work less or not at all. 【2】
However, the benefits of student employment are also notable. It seems that employed students tend to be more engaged in academic activities than those who do not work, probably because they have developed a higher sense of responsibility.
【3】 Firstly, fresh graduates who already have work experience gained during their study years have better chances of landing a job. Employers usually prefer to hire a graduate with workplace experience, because they needn’t spend too much time and resources to train the new employee. Secondly, studies show that working learners are more likely to move into a managerial position soon after graduating. 【4】 As they try different jobs during their school years, they are more aware of their job preferences and target field, and thus far less confused than fresh graduates who have never worked.
To sum up, because of financial difficulties, many youths look for employment while attending school or college, and this can have positive or negative effects on their lives.
【5】 In this way, employed students can gain noteworthy advantages in terms of career path after they graduate.
A．The main cause is financial pressure.
B．Student employment has an effect on future careers as well.
C．The government has increased funding for higher education.
D．They state that the job limits the number of classes they can take.
E．Employed students know what type of work field would be best fit for them.
F．Finally, employed students develop a better appreciation of the career path to pursue.
G．So guidance should be given to help them keep a proper balance between study and work.

His result rewrites Canada’s men’s marathon record book, which hasn’t been __________ since 1975 when Jerome Drayton ran a marathon in two hours, 10 minutes and nine seconds.
