    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.

    When does music in public places become noise pollution?
    You may like at least some kind of music. But the problem is that, in lots of places, you’re made to hear somebody else’s choice in music. Say you’ve just landed at an airport. At the airport, the “background” （背景）music may be played loudly.
    When you are on the way to your hotel, there may be another kind of music played by the taxi driver. Then you finally reach your hotel. But when you are taking the elevator(电梯)，there is elevator music.
    You go out to dinner and end up in a place where the owner of the restaurant thinks music will help make you eat more and spend more. Then a person playing the violin comes around. This is called the “music wallpaper”. It is to make you buy more and eat a lot.  Even the government thinks this is “noise pollution,” especially when the music is too loud.
    Noise pollution may be bad for our hearing. It’s also bad for some of our daily activities, such as sleeping, conversations and so on.
    The fact that you can’t see, taste or smell it may help explain why it has not received as much attention as other kinds of pollution, such as air pollution or water pollution. The air around us is always filled with sounds, but most of us would not think we are surrounded(包围) by noise. This can be bad for our health. So many people like soft and quiet music in their house.
    小题1:In the restaurant, the music is to make you _____________.
    A．have a nice meal
    B．eat more food and spend more money
    C．enjoy some wonderful music
    D．have a great time in the restaurant
    小题2:This passage doesn’t talk about ___________.
    A．food pollutionB．water pollution
    C．air pollution D．noise pollution
    小题3:Music in public places becomes noise pollution because __________.
    A．it’s played at the airport
    B．it’s played by the taxi driver
    C．it’s played when you are taking the elevator
    D．you are made to hear someone else’s choice in music
    小题4:From the passage we know that ___________.
    A．music that is too loud is bad for our health
    B．people pay as much attention to noise pollution as they do to air pollution
    C．people like loud music in their house
    D．most people think that there’s lots of noise around us

    We have always been interested in the moon. 2000 years ago people already knew it moved around the earth and where it would be in the sky at different times of the year. At that time, everything about the moon was learned by watching it carefully in the sky.
    When scientists could use telescopes(望远镜) to study the moon more closely, their ideas began to change. They could see the moon was made of rocks. Most scientists thought moon rocks would be different from those on Earth. This was because they believed the moon had once been a planet that had been caught in the earth’s gravity millions of years earlier.
    In 1969 moon rocks were finally brought to the earth and studied. Much to their surprise, scientists found that, except for water, the moon and the earth were made of the same things. Once again new ideas were needed for this new information.
    After years of study, most scientists now think that the moon was once part of Earth. They believe very early in its history, maybe 4 million years ago, something about the size of Mars hit Earth. This sent billions of rocks into space around our planet. These rocks slowly joined together and after many years became the moon.
    In the future, even though our ideas about the moon may change again, we will still be interested in it.
    小题1:From the passage we know the moon was made of_____________.
    A．earthB．rocksC．waterD．metal
    小题2:In the passage the writer wants to tell us ___________________.
    A．why people are interested in the moon
    B．how ideas about the moon have changed over time
    C．where the moon came from in the past
    D．that people have finally learned the truth about the moon.
    小题3:Before 1969 most scientists thought the moon was ______________.
    A．part of the earth billions of years earlier
    B．older than the earth
    C．a planet caught by the earth’s gravity
    D．made of the same things as the earth
    小题4:From this passage we can learn that ___________________.
    A．scientists in the past were not clever
    B．the earth was once part of the moon
    C．we now know everything about the moon
    D．new information brings new ideas
