book.popular book picks have been harper lees to kill a mockingbird，ernest gainess a lesson before dying，and ray bradburys fahrenheit 451.“one city one book” programs take the idea of a localized book discussion club and expand it to cover a whole city.the first such program was “if all of seattle read the same book” in 1998，started by nancy pearl at seattle public librarys washington center for the book.the book chosen for the program was the sweet hereafter by russell banks，written in 1991.other cities copied the idea，and the library of congress listed 404 programs occurring in 2007.each citys program has its own goals；these typically include building a sense of community and promoting literacy.nancy pearl warns against expecting too much from a program：“keep in mind that this is a library program，its not an exercise in civics，and that its not intended to have literature cure the racial divide.this is about a work of literature.” programs typically involve more than having everyone read the same book.some other activities that have been included are：book discussion sessions，scholarly lectures on the book or related topics，a visit by the author，exhibits，related arts programming (especially showing a movie of the book if there is one)，and integration into school curricula.in boston the “one city one story” program used shorter stories and distributed tens of thousands of free copies of the story over the course of a month.american library association puts out a detailed stepbystep guide on how to organize a local program，including the critical step of picking the one book.the center for the book at the library of congress tracks all known programs and the books they have used.【语篇解读】本文是说明文，介绍了美国开展的“一个城市，一本书”的读书活动。4“one city one book” programs_.aask

attention to their own growing roles and strive to present a reliable image of china to african audiences and vice versa(反之亦然). agreement on this important step in ongoing cooperation between the two sides was reached by media representatives attending a media forum on september 19 in abuja, nigeria.the agreement comes in the wake of increasing attention being paid by the international community on africas deepening relationship with china. this presents an important opportunity for media in china, nigeria and other african countries. we should seize the moment to expand cooperation between chinese and nigeria media, increase our say, and contribute to cooperation between china, nigeria and africa as a whole, said li wufeng, vice minister of the state council information office at the china-nigeria media meeting. the media meeting was jointly held by the state council information office, the chinese embassy in nigeria, and the federal ministry of education, nigeria. it formed part of the experience china program, which aims to increase cultural exchanges and mutual understanding between china and other parts of the world. in the past, due to poor communication facilities, china and african countries could only learn about each other through third parties, in particular western media, which may have given rise to and perpetuated misunderstandings. china is still not a constant feature or subject on the front page and prime time in the news media in nigeria unless there are disasters and alleged human rights abuses to be reported, said martins oloja, editor of the guardian. major western media continue to promote a cold war mentality and view sino-african ties through the lens of geopolitics, framing everything as competition between east and west, chinese and nigerian media professionals said at the forum. some western media outlets accuse china of ignoring mutually beneficial solutions or sustainable development of african people, while robbing the continent of its natural resources. nigerians cannot expect aljazeera or bbc to report on africa, and indeed nigeria and china relations, the way we want, said oloja. mutually objective coverage will generate more cooperation and better understanding between china and nigeria, said li xiaohua, a representative from china. , a leading multi-language website in china.【小题1】what is the purpose of this
