12.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 tome.
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 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.
Ultinatel was Nancy points out,the level of sucicess is not meastured 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.

46.What is the purpose of the project launched by Nancy?B
A.To invite authors to guide readers.
B.To encourage people to read and share.
C.To involve people in communnity service.
D.To promote the friendship between cities.
47.Why was it difficult for New Yorkers to carry out the projict?C
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 locat government
48.According to the passage,where would the project be more easily carried out?D
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
49.The underlined words"shared a word"in Paragraph 5probably meanA
A.exchanged ideas with each other
B.discussed the meaning of a word
C.gamed life experience
D.used the same language
50.According to Nacy,the degree of students of the project is judged byC
A.the careful selection of a proper book
B.the growing popularity of the writers
C.the number of people who benefit from reading.

50.C  细节理解题.由最后一段Ultinatel was Nancy points out,the level of sucicess is not meastured 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.可知南希认为这个项目成功的程度不是用多少人读一本书来衡量,而是由多少人从这个过程中受益来决定的.故选C.

Is it fair for restaurants to ban little eaters? In Monronroeville, a local restaurant, McDain’s, recently decided to ban young children. Alice Roseman, its manager, says kids have bad manners and make too much noise. Other people, however, say the rule is hard to accept. Since it has become a hot topic in public, we caught several local people talking about it.

YES

There is no law stopping restaurants from banning young children. Restaurant owners should be allowed to ban them. Kids often run around and cause problems for waiters and other customers.

----Kate Barker

Kids always cause a mess, but the parents refuse to do anything about their kids’ behaviors. Although kids may be at the center of their parents’ universe, they aren’t at the center of everyone else’s.

------Mike Vuick

Adults sometimes want to talk and enjoy their dinner, but they can’t if a child is crying and running all over the place. That’s why sometimes parents don’t like eating at home. They wish they could have a good meal in the restaurants without kids’ noise.

------Dale Levitsky

NO

Banning kids from restaurants is a bad idea. If kids were banned, many restaurants would lose business. Even if restaurants gave customers the chance to buy take-away meals for their kids, many families would probably still not eat there.

--------Nicholas Song

Restaurants owners who ban kids think all children are wild and rude. But that’s not true. Most children’s eating behaviors are good enough. Even though some kids do have bad manners, banning is not a right way to teach them. I think how a society treats its children is important. After all, all kids are people, too.

17."Have a nice day!"may be a pleasant gesture or a meaningless.When my friend Maxie says"Have a nice day"with a smile,I know she sincerely cares about what happens to me.I feel loved and secure since another person cares about me and wishes me well.
"Have a nice day.Next!"This version of the expression is spoken by a salesgirl at the supermarket who is rushing me and my groceries out the door.The words come out in the same tone (腔调) with a fixed procedure.They are spoken at me,not to me.Obviously,the concern for my day and everyone else's is the management's attempt to increase business.
    The expression is one of those behaviors that help people get along with each other.Sometimes it indicates the end of a meeting.As soon as you hear it,you know the meeting is at an end.Sometimes the expression saves us when we don't know what to say"oh,you may have a tooth out?I'm terribly sorry,but have a nice day."
    The expression can be pleasant.If a stranger says"Have a nice day"to you,you may find it heart-warming because someone you don't know has tried to be nice to you.
    Although the use of the expression is an insincere,meaningless social custom at times,there is nothing wrong with the sentence except that it is a little uninteresting.The salesgirl,the waitress,the teacher,and all the countless others who speak it without thinking may not really care about my day.But in a strange and comfortable way,it's nice to know they care enough to pretend they care when they really don't care all that much.While the expression may not often be sincere,it is always spoken.The point is that people say it all the time when they like.

26.How does the author understand Maxie's words?B
A.Maxie shows her anxiety to the author.
B.Maxie really wishes the author a good day.
C.Maxie encourages the author to stay happy.

27.What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 2mean?D
A.The salesgirl is rude.
B.The salesgril is bored.

D.The salesgirl says the words as a routine.
28.By saying"Have a nice day,"a stranger mayA
A.try to be polite to you
B.express respect to you
C.give his blesing to you
D.share his pleasure with you
29.According to the last paragraph,people say"Have a nice day"C
A.sincerely  B.asthanks  C.as a habit  D.encouragingly
30.What is the best title of the passage?A
A.Have a Nice Day-a Social Custon
