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

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

out?a. in large communities with little sense of unityb. in large cities where libraries are far from homec. in medium-sized cities with a diverse populationd. in large towns where agreement can be quickly reached( ) 4.the underlined words “shared a word” in paragraph 5 probably mean a. exchanged ideas with each otherb. discussed the meaning of a wordc. gamed life experience d. used the same

most earthquakeprone(有地震倾向的) countries could become part of its longterm energy solution.water from deep below the ground at japans tens of thousands of hot springs could be used to produce electricity.although japanese hightech companies are leaders in geothermal(地热的) technology and export it, its use is limited in the nation.“japan should no doubt make use of its resources of geothermal energy，” said yoshiyasu takefuji, a leading researcher of thermalelectric power production.the disastrous earthquake and tsunami on march 11, 2011 caused a reaction against atomic power, which previously made up 30 percent of japans energy needs, and increased interest in alternative energies, which account for only 8 percent.artist yoko ono has called on japan to explore its natural energy, following the example of iceland which uses renewable energy for more than 80 percent of its needs.for now, geothermal energy makes up less than 1 percent of the energy needs in japan, which has for decades relied heavily on fossil fuels and atomic power.the biggest problem to geothermal energy is the high initial cost of the exploration and constructing the factories.another problem is that japans potentially best sites are already being developed for tourism or are located within national parks where construction is forbidden.“we cant even dig 10cm inside national parks，” said shigeto yamada of fuji electric, adding that regulations protecting nature would need to be relaxed for geothermal energy to grow.researcher hideaki matsui said, “producing electricity by using hot springs is a decadeslong project.we also have to think about what to do for now as energy supplies will decline in the short term.”the earth policy institute in washington, the us, believed japan could produce 80，000 megawatts(兆瓦)and meet more than half its electricity needs with geothermal technology.japanese giants such as toshiba are already global leaders in geothermal technology, with a 70 percent market share.in 2010, fuji electric built the worlds largest geothermal factory in new zealand.1what would be the best title for the text?aalternative energies in japanbthe worlds largest
