There are also those for whom hunting in fact offers a chance to prove themselve
14、s and risk death by design; these men go out after dangerous animals like tigers, even if they say they only do it to rid the countryside of a threat.

Hunting is not a cruel and senseless killing not if you respect the thing you kill, not if you kill to enrich your memories, not if you kill to feed your people.”I can understand such beliefs,
17、 and can compare these hunters with those who hunted lions with spears and bravely caught them by the tail.

23、be shared in families and schools. The idea came from Seattle librarian Nancy Pearl who launched 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 e
24、xpanded to many other American cities, and even to Hong Kong.In Chicago, the mayor 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 neighborhood groups sprang up around the city. Across the

In large communities with little sense of unity.B. In large cities where libraries are far from home.C. In medium-sized cities with a diverse popula
30、tion.D. In large towns where agreement can be quickly reached.31.
