States. Yale, Princeton, Columbia and Dartmouth were opened soon after Harvard.
In the early years, these schools were much alike. Only young men went to college. All the students
studied the same subjects, 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 became ministers or teachers.

could receive their training (*训练) in Harvard"s 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

have decided that Chinglish is a disease for China"s modernizing claim and must be obliterated before the city
hosts the Olympic Games in 2008.
A road sign on the Avenue of Eternal Peace (Chang"an Street ), for example, advised: "To Take Notice of
Safe ; The Slippery are Very Crafty, "a warning that the sidewalk was slippery. Another sign in a Beijing park
reads:"Little grass is smiling slightly, please walk on sidewalk".
Li Honghai, the city official in charge of the battle, said: "Linguistic perfection (语言美) is becoming
increasingly important with the rise in the number of the foreigners flowing into the city."
However, not everyone shares the disdain (蔑视) of the Beijing government for the mixed language. "The
choice of words is pretty much. One can either choose the verbs,adverbs, nouns or whatever one likes,"
explained one Hongkong linguist on an Internet website.
So many examples exist that several Internet sites have been set up to collect Chinglish phrases. Many
come from English instructions on packages such as a candle marked with "Keep this candle out of children"
and a model boat-curiously named Posh Sailboat-which means"Please don"t place it in dusty play."
If the battle against Chinglish is successful, Chinese will also turn their attention to the English-language
versions of newspapers, which play an even more important role in teaching right English.
B. exploited
C. translated
D. beautified
B. all the people don"t share the disdain for the mixed language
C. Chinglish usually communicates in many cases
D. several Internet sites have been set up to clear the Chinglish phrases
B. should report the battle above
C. should be paid more attention to
D. should collect more Chinglish phrases

he repeatedly referred to the Korean president"s wife as Mrs. Kim. By mistake, President Clinton"s advisers
thought that Koreans have the same naming customs as the Japanese. Clinton had not been told that, in Korea,
wives keep their family names. President Kim Young Sam"s wife was named Sohn Myong Suk. Therefore,
she should be addressed (称谓) as Mrs. Sohn.
President Clinton arrived in Korea directly after leaving Japan and had not changed his culture gears. His
failure to follow Korean customs gave the impression that Korea was not as important to him as Japan.
In addition to Koreans, some Asian husbands and wives do not share the same family names. This practice
often puzzles (使困惑) English-speaking teachers when talking with a pupil"s parents. They become puzzled
about the student"s correct last name. Placing the family name first is common among a number of Asian
cultures.
Mexican naming customs are different as well. When a woman marries, she keeps her family name and
adds her husband"s name after the word de (of). This affects (影响) how they fill in forms in the United States.
When requested to fill in a middle name, they generally write the father"s family name. But Mexicans are
addressed by the family name of the mother. This often causes puzzlement.
Here are a few ways to deal with such difficult situations: don"t always think that a married woman uses
her husband"s last name. Remember that in many Asian cultures, the order of first and last names is reversed
(颠倒), Ask which name a person would prefer to use. If the name is difficult to pronounce, admit it, and
ask the person to help you say it correctly.
B. introduce the topic of the text
C. describe his visit to Korea
D. tell us how to address a person
B. naming customs
C. travel maps
D. thinking patterns
B. uses her husband"s given name
C. shares her husband"s family name

It is a traditional festival for Chinese people. It comes from a romantic ancient Chinese story. Niu Lang and
Zhi Nv, two lovers who got separated by the Queen Mother of the Western Heavens, can only meet that night.
Thanks to this touching story, Chinese people regard the seventh day of the seventh month of the lunar calendar as Chinese Valentine"s Day. In China people also call it "Qixi".
Meanwhile, February 14 of the solar calendar is European Valentine"s Day. It is related to a moving story
too. The story goes that, there was a cruel king in ancient Rome whose name was Claudius. He forbade the
youth to get married during the wars, which made the lovers angry. There was a monk (修道士) named
Valentine who was very angry at the rule and the king. One day a couple of lovers came to his temple to ask
for help to get married. Valentine helped them. Later, many couples got married with Valentine"s help. But
Claudius knew it soon. He put Valentine to death cruelly. And that day was February 14, the year of 270.
Compared with European Valentine"s Day, Qixi is less popular in China though it is a traditional Chinese
festival. There may be many reasons. First of all, the lunar calendar is not easy to remember for most of the
young people who are used to the solar calendar. Secondly, to many businessmen, European Valentine"s Day is
not only a festival for lovers but also a good chance to make money. Most of the flower shops can sell their
flowers at a good price on European Valentine"s Day while the business drops in Qixi, because on European
Valentine"s Day lovers know more about how to enjoy it. They exchange cards, flowers and go out to date.
But most of them don"t know the culture of Chinese Valentine"s Day or how to celebrate it.
B. something about Qixi and Valentine"s Day
C. why young people prefer Western festivals
D. how Qixi is different from European Valentine"s Day
B. the government encourages people to celebrate foreign festivals
C. the costs on Qixi are higher than those on European Valentine"s Day
D. the lunar calendar is not easy to remember and people don"t know how to enjoy Qixi
B. Valentine helped a couple of lovers kill the cruel king.
C. European Valentine"s Day was named after a person.
D. Old people in China dislike young people celebrating European Valentine"s Day.
B. Chinese people should treasure traditional Chinese festivals more.
C. Qixi will also become an international festival in the future.
D. Chinese people should stop celebrating European Valentine"s Day.
accept ideas which are not 2 on obvious facts, and therefore refuses to accept authority (权威) as the only
3 for truth. He always 4 ideas carefully and makes experiments to prove them.
The rise of 5 science may perhaps be considered to 6 as far back to as the 7 of Roger Bacon, the
wonderful philosopher of Oxford, who lived 8 the years 1214 and 1292. He was probably the first in the
middle 9 to suggest that we should learn science 10 observing and experimenting on the things around us,
and he himself 11 many important discoveries.
Galileo, however, who lived more than 300 years later (1564-1642), was the greatest of several great men,
12 in Italy, France, Germany, or England, began by 13 to show how many important 14 could be
discovered by observation. Before Galileo, learned men believed that large bodies fell more 15 towards the earth
than small ones, 16 Aristotle said so. But Galileo, going to the 17 of the leaning Tower of Pisa, let fall two
18 stones and proved Aristotle was wrong. It was Galileo"s 19 of going direct to Nature, and proving our
20 and theories by experiment, that has led to all the discoveries of modern science.
