It might not be so unusual for a student to run a school newspaper. But when it comes to    1  the school newspaper of Harvard, it’s definitely a   2   story.

May Habib is now in her fourth year at Harvard. She    3    works 40～50 hours for the newspaper every week in addition to being a full-time student.   4   such a busy schedule（日程表）, she has no time for lessons sometimes, not to mention   5   . “But it’s one of the best experiences in my life so far.” She said.

One of the most important stories May    6    is the Harvard AID research program in Africa. Harvard was given a huge amount of    7    from the White House to do research into AIDS. A female professor at the school was in   8   of the project. But top administrators at the university thought the professor shouldn’t do the job because it was so   9   a program that just a professor couldn’t oversee the project .    10    they took her off the project and put in a director.

     By talking to the professor, May found that the administrators   11  funding（拨款） on the program for five months. She called a Nigerian doctor   12    and was told that about 420 deaths in the program were    13   to the delay of the money. She thought that Harvard administrators didn’t take into account （把…考虑在内） that effect  14    they made the decision.

   “ That was really an important story. The second year the funding    15    and I was told that the funding was    16    not released. So I started making phone calls. Two days    17  , they released the funding. They did it so quickly because of the press, though I was a little student, ” May said   18   .

    May is a happy girl. “ My secret to stay   19  is optimism （乐观）. My optimism is sort of realism,” she said , “I think I’m a lucky person. Even if I didn’t go to Harvard, I would be happy   20   .”
