Recently I paid a visit to Harvard University, where there are top class scientists and professors and the best academic system in the world.

I was pretty shocked when I first stepped onto the campus. Well, it’s not ever really a campus. It’s a more like district in a small town.

Harvard's main buildings are from the 18th century. They look very old and simple. You might even say they're a little shabby (破旧的). They don’t fit the modern idea of university at all. The buildings are surrounded by grass and trees, so I felt as if I had walked into a medieval castle. But when I looked across the street, busy shops and in-fashion students made me feel like I was in the 21st century again. It creates a strong contrast (对比) and brings a special atmosphere (氛围) to the school.

Our tour guide Gary took us around and told us: “You see this grass field in the center of the school? Here is where they host their graduation ceremony. They just set up tents and benches and have a very simple ceremony. Unbelievable! Who would think the most talented students just graduate on the lawn?”

I saw some students put a blanket on the grass and lie down to read a book. When I listened to the soft sound of pages turning, along with chirping of the birds, I felt very calm. There was no competitive feeling at all.

Harvard has the world’s first computer in its science center and there are hundreds of high-end computers too. Its religion and the literature departments are also among the best. It is the perfect mix of tradition and new technology. It makes Harvard a very attractive place to study in.

I hope one day I’ll attend my dream school—Harvard.

1.According to the article the author was most impressed by ____.

A. Harvard’s mix of tradition and new technology

B. the classes held on beautiful lawns at Harvard

C. Harvard students not taking their graduation ceremony seriously

D. the feeling of not living in modern society on the campus

2.What can we conclude from the article?

A. Harvard campus is actually a district of a big city.

B. There are no competitions at Harvard University.

C. Graduation ceremonies are not complex at Harvard.

D. All Harvard buildings date back to the 18th century.

3.Which word can be used to describe the Harvard campus?

A. Modern              B. Competitive         C. Peaceful             D. Splendid

A team of engineers at Harvard University has been inspired by Nature to create the first robotic fly. The mechanical fly has become a platform for a series of new high-tech systems. Designed to do what a fly does naturally, the tiny machine is the size of a fat housefly. Its mini wings allow it to stay in the air and perform controlled flight tasks.

“It’s extremely important for us to think about this as a whole system and not just a bunch of individual components (零件),” said Robert Wood, the Harvard engineering professor who has been working on the robotic fly project for over a decade. “The added difficulty with such a project is that actually none of those components are off the shelf and so we have to make them all on our own,” he said.

They engineered a series of systems to start and drive the robotic fly. “The seemingly simple system which just moves the wings has a number of individual components, each of which individually has to perform well, and then has to be matched well to everything it’s connected to,” said Wood. The flight device was built into a set of power, computation, sensing and control systems. Wood says the success of the project proves that the flying robot with these tiny components can be built and manufactured.

Wood says the design offers a new way to study flight mechanics and control at insect- scale. Yet, the power, sensing and computation technologies on board could have much broader applications (应用). “You can start thinking about using them to answer open scientific questions, you know, to study biology in ways that would be difficult with the animals, but using these robots instead,” he said. “So there are a lot of technologies and open interesting scientific questions that are really what drives us on a day to day basis.”

1.What challenge did the engineers have when making the robotic fly?

A. They don’t have enough related knowledge.

B. They are lack of ready-made components.

C. The system is too complex to work.

D. They fail to control all the components.

2.What does the success of the robotic fly prove?

A. Scientists are able to make tiny flying machines.

B. Humans will create a new kind of species for the nature.

C. The flight device will not need so many components.

D. It will help to kill dangerous insects in the nature.

3.What does Wood hope to do with the flying device?

A. To fix the system on other animals.

B. To put it to the market for money.

C. To solve more scientific problems.

D. To encourage people to learn biology.

4.How does Wood feel about the application of the robotic fly?

A. Worried　　 B. Curious.

C. Doubtful.　　 D. Confident.

Recently, scientists are reported to have grown a living human “brain”. The team at Aston University in UK created tiny bunch of cells which act like a mini nervous system.

They believe it could help find a cure for worse mental conditions like Parkinson’s disease. Professor Michael Coleman is leading the research program. He explained, “We are aiming to be able to study the human brain at the most basic level, using an actual living human cell system. Cells have to be alive and operating efficiently to enable us to really understand how the brain works.” The experiment involves changing cells from a cancer tumor (肿瘤）and making them behave like brain cells.

Although far from finished, researchers hope the false brain cells will give them a greater understanding of how real brains work. This, in turn, could significantly further research into conditions which affect the brain. Neil Hunt, chief leader of the research group, said, “It is still very early days, but in the future the research could lead to a useful tool for looking into dementia (痴呆).”

The technique could also provide a way to carry on animal test and is being supported by the Humane Research Trust (HRT). The scientists predict that over the next ten years a million people will develop dementia. Professor Coleman believes their findings could change this. He said, “We hope our research will provide scientists with a new and highly relational human experimental model to help them understand the brain better and develop new drugs to control the related disease. However, the biggest challenge at present is that we are greatly short of fund, which will slow our research.”

1.UK scientists grow a living human “brain” in order to ______.

A. separate cells from a cancer tumor

B. discover how human brain really works

C. make use of living human cell system

D. study the structure of human brain

2.According to Neil Hunt, research into brain cells ______.

A. will help treat some diseases in nerve system

B. will influence the brain growth in many ways

C. will get finished as early as possible

D. will make people discover dementia

3.From the last paragraph, we can know that ______

A. the technique provided by HRT is not fully developed

B. the research program lacks financial support

C. animal tests are no longer allowed by law

D. a million people suffer from brain diseases

4.The text is meant to ______.

A. tell us about an important achievement in medical research

B. introduce the progress of drugs for dementia

C. tell us about health problem in nerve system

D. introduce a research program in human's brain
