A lady and her husband stepped off the train in Boston. They walked without an appointment（预约）into the outer  36  of Harvard’s president. But they were  37  by his secretary and kept waiting. For hours, the secretary took no notice of them,  38  that the couple would finally become  39  and go away. But they didn’t. The secretary finally decided to disturb the president, though  40  .

A few minutes later, the president walked towards the couple with a  41  face. The lady told him, “We had a son that  42  Harvard for one year. He loved Harvard. He was  43  here. But about a year ago, he was accidentally killed. My husband and I would like to  44  a memorial（纪念物）to him, somewhere on campus.”

The president wasn’t  45  . Instead, he was shocked. “Madam,” he said, “we can’t put up a statue for every person who studied at Harvard and died. If we did, this   46  would look like a cemetery（墓地）,” “Oh, no,” the lady  47  quickly. “We don’t want to put up a statue. We would like to give a  48  to Harvard.” The president rolled his eyes and  49  at the couple and then exclaimed, ” A building! Do you have any  50  how much a building costs? We have spent over ＄7,500,000 on the campus building at Harvard.” For a moment the lady was silent. The president was  51  , because he could get rid of them now. Then the lady turned to her husband and said quietly, “Is that all it costs to start a  52  ? Why don’t we just start our own?” Her husband nodded.  53  their offer was turned down. Mr. and Mrs. Stanford traveled to California where they founded the University that bears their  54  , a memorial to a son that Harvard no longer  55  about.

There are two main forms of teaching in Notinghain University: seminar (研讨会)and lecture. They are very different from the sort of teaching most often used in schools and colleges.
     In seminars you will be taught will discussion focusing on a text or topic set in advance in a friendly and informal atmosphere. The purpose is to provide an opportunity to try out new ideas and to think through difficulties with fellow. Learners. Students develop friendships through groups, as well as learning more about other people’s ideas. You can also know your tutors as an individual rather than a face at the end of the room.
     Lectures are the most formal. There may be over a hundred in the audience and the lecture will last about fifty minutes. The value of the lecture is that it can present to a large number of people information which is not readily available in books, that it can give you an opportunity to hear a specialist develop a coherent(有条理的)argument, and that it can show visual material to a wide audience.
     Your typical week’s a work will feel strange after school or college since there are fewer timetabled teaching hours. Each week in the first year you may attend about six lectures and four to six seminars or tutorials(辅导). For the rest of the time you are working on your own, doing the necessary reading in preparation for tutorials or writing seminar papers. When writing an essay or carrying out project work, you can often discuss with your about the title and topic.

 (06·福建B篇)

As skies are filled with millions of migrating(迁徙)birds, European scientists say the seasonal wonder appears to be strange; the fatter that bird, the better it flies.
     The results of their study led to a theory opposite to a central one of acrodynamies (空气动力学), which says that the power needed to fly increases with weight.
     For birds, obviously, the cost of flying with heavy fat is much smaller than we used to think. Researchers found that red knoll wading birds double their normal body weight of 100 grams before making their twice-a-year nonstop flight between the British Isles and the Russian Arctic. Distance; 5, 000 kilometers.
     Another study in the magazine Nature measured the advantage of flying in an acrodynamic group which allows birds to save energy by flying smoothly and quietly in the lead bird’s air stream.

Flying in groups, their heart rates were 14.5 percent lower than flying alone, according to Henri, a French scientist. The findings help explain how birds completes difficult migrations. Researchers had thought that thinner, stronger birds would have the best chance to survive.
     The first study suggests that building up fat to be burnt as fuel during the migration is worth more than the energy it takes to carry the additional weight.
     In the study, researchers said their learn studied the birds flown at different body weights during 28 simulated(模拟的)flights. They forced a small amount of special water into the birds’ bodies so that they could measure the amount of energy burnt during the flight.

60.A red knot wading bird of 100 grams will probably weigh _____ before making its nonstop migrating flight.

A.50 grams            B.100 grams         C.150 grams          D.200 grams
61.During their migrating flight, red knot wading  birds can save energy by flying_______.
   A. separately          B. alone              C. in groups          D. in pairs

62.A_______red not wading bird has a better chance to survive during its migrating flight.

   A. stronger            B. weaker            C. thinner            D. fatter

63.The best title for this passage may probably be________.

A. Birds Thin Down For Journey              B. Birds Fatten Up For Journey

C. How Birds Build Up Fat For Journey         D. How Birds Burn Energy For Journey
