     Started in 1636, Harvard (哈佛) University is the oldest of all the colleges and universities in the
United States. Yale, Princeton, Columbia and Dartmouth were opened soon after Harvard.
     In the early years, these schools were nearly the same. Only young men went to college. All the
students studied the same subjects, and everyone learned Latin and Greek. Little was known about
science. And few people knew that one kind of school could teach everything that was known about
the world. When the students graduated, most of them became ministers or teachers.
     In 1782, Harvard started a medical school for young men who wanted to become doctors. Later,
lawyers could study in Harvard's law school. In 1825, besides Latin and Greek, Harvard began to
teach modern languages, such as French and German. Soon it began to teach American history.
     As knowledge increased, Harvard and other colleges began to teach many new subjects. Students
were allowed to choose the subjects that interested them.
     Today, there are many different kinds of colleges and universities. Most of them are made up of
smaller schools that deal with special fields of learning. There's so much to learn that one kind of school
can't offer all.

閱讀下面短文，根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容選擇最佳答案．

　　Dear Roni,

　　Italy is wonderful. We started in Rome two weeks ago, drove to Florence last week and now we're on our way to Venice. Three weeks just isn't enough.

　　The country near Florence is so beautiful－h(huán)ills, olive trees. And red roofs(屋頂) of the houses look so nice far away.

　　I am afraid I am getting bigger－the food here is so delicious!

Love,

Akemi

　　Roni Lebaver

　　222 Main St. Languna

　　Beach, CA 92651

　　U. S. A.

　　Hi Roni,

　　I can't believe(相信) you went to school here in Honolulu! Why did you leave?

　　I spend each morning on the beach(海灘) and in the water. The sand is so soft and the beaches seem so long. The water is just the right temperature.

　　One afternoon, I left the beach to walk in mountains near Honolulu. I enjoyed myself very much there.

　　How I miss you!

Mari

　　Dear Roni,

　　Maybe I'm strange but I love the desert(沙漠)!

　　Last week, our group spent four days in the desert. At times, it felt like the moon.

　　I always thought deserts were all the same! They are not. Some parts look like mountains; others are really different.

　　And when we find something green－－a few plam trees, a little water, we feel good and great.

　　See you in September,

Kim
