　　阅读理解。

　　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.

　　As adults, some of our most memorable memories are likely to come from childhood holidays: decorating the tree at Christmas time, lighting the candles for Kwanzaa, or spending the New Year with the noisemakers. But holidays aren’t just for helping adults feel a connection with the past. They also create a structure and annual rhythm that will carry our children into the future.

　　Indeed, in a world in which children constantly are experiencing developmental, social, and academic changes, family traditions provide stepping stones that lead us from season to season, year to year. It gives children a sense of security to know how their world works, that on Christmas Eve, the family always goes to midnight mass (午夜弥撒). The songs, sights, and stories of the winter holidays also help children experience feelings of respect, feelings that aren’t often encouraged in our rather cynical (悲观的) modern culture. The time spent with loved ones also can promote a deep sense of family roots and cultural history, which in itself is key for developing a sense of belonging, well-being, and self-esteem.

　　The winter holidays are especially good for creating family-building traditions. Christmas, Hanukkah, and Kwanzaa all in some way celebrate light, warmth, and love, and all of them provide a sense of home and hearth (壁炉边). As new parents, we begin to have our own set of customs around these holidays, and many traditions will be drawn from our past, especially at first. But with years going on, we are sure to develop original ones that suit our own particular lifestyles, children’s personalities, and personal tastes. Granted, modifying family traditions may feel like a break with the past, but they help to consider these changes as a connection with the future as well, which we transmitted to our children with all the best wishes.
