Yale, Princeton, Columbia and Dartmouth were opened soon after Harvard.In the early years, these schools were much alike. Only young men went to colleges. All the students studied the same subject and everyone learned Latin, Greek and Hebrew. Little was known about science then and one kind of school could teach everything that was known about the world. When the students graduated, most of them become ministers or teachers.In 1782, Harvard started a medical school for young men who wanted to become doctors. Later, lawyers could receive their training in Harvards law school. In 1825 besides Latin and Greek, Harvard began teaching modern languages, such as French and German. Soon it began teaching 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.

The youngest, Janice, who was in my class, seemed to be glued （粘）to her mothers skirts. The three older girls took the bus to school every morning, but Janice was always driven to school by her mother.One Friday, Janices mother asked for a talk with me. She said in a soft voice, “My husband is going to Europe on business for two weeks, and he insists that I go with him. I have tried to explain over and over that Janice needs me here. But he thinks that she will be fine without me so I have no choice; I have to go. I have told the babysitter to drive her every morning. Will you please give Janice special attention and help her? I want to be sure everything goes well for her.”I told her that we would make every effort to support Janice. I even volunteered to meet Janice at her car so she would see a familiar face. As a mother myself, Id like to help. Janices mother thanked me for our understanding.On Monday morning, expecting a tearful, anxious child, I planned a special program of fun and games. I waited outside to greet Janice, but just then the bus arrived and not three, but four girls got off. Janice skipped along joyfully, saying “goodbye” to her sisters as she ran with two friends into the classroom. I walked slowly into the classroom and called Janice over to ask how the bus ride went. Impatiently she said, “Oh, I always want to take the bus with the other kids, but Mother needs to be with me. You see there wont be any more babies, so I have to be a baby a little longer. While she is away, Ill just ride the bus every day. I am five, you know.24. Why did Janices mother want to have a talk with the author?A. To ask her to help Janice with her homework. B.

Janice is no longer a child.CIn many ways, Providence Mount St. Vincent in Seattle is a typical senior living community. It is home to about 400 elderly people and provides them with different types of assistance. However, it is also the Inter-generational Learning Center-a preschool where children and seniors have the chance to bond（结成友好的关系）.Established in 1991, the ILCs purpose is to allow kids to learn about acceptance while also being nurtured. It also aims to help seniors develop a greater sense of self-worth and strengthen social interactions. Babies to prekindergarten-aged children are placed into six different classes at the ILC. The kids attend art and music classes, as well as story time and exercise time with the seniors. Marie Hoover, ILC director, said that interacting with the seniors has proven beneficial for the young ones, making them more open-minded. “For the ILC children, interacting with the residents is simply part of their day-to-day life here and the way aging is normalized , which may be the most important benefit they receive ,” Hoover said. “ Ive had parents call me years after their children have graduated from our program to let me know about some incidents when their child was the first to warmly greet someone who happened to be in a wheelchair.”As for the seniors, theyre delighted by the companionship the children provide. The children bring so much energy and joy to our residents. Many of residents are widows or widowers and can become lonely. Their adult children may still be working, so they may not get to see them as often as they would like. Having the children stay with the old makes our residents feel they are still part of a community. The young and the old connect and learn from one another at this unique facility.28. ILC is intended to _.A. build a typical senior living community B. take good care of the childrenC. benefit both the children and the seniors D. rid the seniors of loneliness29. From what Hoover said in Para. 3, we can learn that the ILC children _.A. keep in touch with the seniors even if they have left ILCB. come to realize that aging is a normal part of lifeC. take different attitudes to the elderly after graduationD. think it easy to interact with the elderly residents in ILC30. The last paragraph mainly tells us _.A. the benefits the seniors receive B. the situation of the seniorsC. childrens company D. the interaction between the children and the seniors31. The underlined words this unique facility may refer to _. A. a special building B. a typical family C. a typical teaching program D. a special learning centerDEach year on Halloween,children look forward to trick-or-treating(不请客就捣乱)for candies. But for some kids, eating Halloween candies can be dangerous.Thats because one out of every 13 kids in the Us have a food allergy（过敏症）. They are allergic to ingredients（成份） in many Halloween candies, such as peanuts, tree nuts, milk, eggs, and beans. If they eat these foods, they will get sick or even die.“I had to throw away all my candies with tears,” eight-year-old Conlen said. Conlen is allergic to peanuts, tree nuts, and dairy.Twelve-year-old Kylie is allergic to peanuts and tree nuts. She has been trick-or-treating only twice. “I brought my candies home and gave them to the neighbors, Kylie said. It felt terrible.But this year, Conlen, Kylie and other kids with food allergies will have a chance for a happy Halloween .Thats because nearly100,000 households across the US have promised to take part in the Teal Pumpkin Project (TPP), which was started last year by Food Allergy Research & Education (FARE). FARE is an organization that works to improve the lives of people with food allergies. Through the project, the households agree to have nonfood items for trick-or-treaters,including trinkets(小饰品) and toys.To take part in the project, people buy a teal (蓝绿色) pumpkin or paint a pumpkin teal and place it in front of their house. The painted pumpkins let trick-or-treaters know that nonfood items are available there. The households also add their home addresses to an online map, making it easier for trick-or-treaters to find them.Kylie loves the idea.“The TPP makes Halloween fun and safe,”she said.“It makes me feel like a normal kid, and it makes everyone feel included.”32.To Conlen and Kylie, the past Halloween were_.A. upsetting and dangerous B. interesting and specialC. sick and terribleD. important and exciting33.According to the passage, we know that FARE_.A .helps people with food allergies recover B. helps the households take part in the TPPC. takes action to change kids bad eating habits D. helps kids with food allergies have a happy Halloween34.The households help kids with food allergies by_.A. giving them teal pumpkins as giftsB. offering them all kinds of food except candiesC. providing them with trinkets and toys as treatsD. asking them for home addresses and sending them gifts35.Where is the passage most probably taken from?A.
