“One City One Book” is a generic name(通称)for a community reading program that attempts to get everyone in a city to read and discu the same book.Popular book picks have been Harper Lee’s To Kill a Mockingbird，Ernest Gaines’s A Leon Before Dying，and Ray Bradbury’s Fahrenheit 451.“One City One Book” programs take the idea of a localized book discuion 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 Library’s Washington Center for the Book.The book chosen for the program was The Sweet Hereafter by Ruell Banks，written in 1991.Other cities copied the idea，and the Library of Congre listed 404 programs occurring in 2007.Each city’s 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，it’s not an exercise in civics，and that it’s 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 discuion seions，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 Aociation puts out a detailed step-by-step 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 Congre 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________.A．ask everyone in a city to donate one book
