18、e 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.

19、t and strangers chatted 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

20、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

21、how many people are enriched by the process, or have enjoyed speaking to someone with whom they would not otherwise have shared a word.8What is the purpose of the project launched by Nancy?A.

25、thlete is Mike Powell. In 1991, he jumped nearly 30 feet, which is the world record for the long jump. That is about five times his own height. His competitor in the long-jump contest is a frog named “Rosie the Ribbiter.” Rosie set the world record for frogs in 1986 by jumping more than 21 feet. Her

26、 record has never been broken by any other frog. Compared to Mike Powell, Rosies jump is not that amazing. But wait!
