Historians usually just study great things that happened in the past time,but Drew Faust has made history!On February 11,2007,Faust was named president of Harvard University. She is the first woman to hold the position in the school’s history.
“I am a historian ,” she said. “I’ve spent a lot of time thinking about the past,and about how it shapes the future. No university in the country,perhaps the world,has as remarkable a past as Harvard’s. ”
“And our common enterprise is to make Harvard’s future even more remarkable than its past. That will mean recognizing and building on what we already do well. It will also mean recognizing what we don’t do as well as we should,and not being satisfied until we find ways to do better. ”
It is her great desire for improvement and willingness to try out new ideas that have given Drew success in a world controlled by men. “This is a man’s world,my girl,and the sooner you learn that,the better off you’ll be. ” Drew Faust recalls her mother telling her this when she was young,but she didn’t accept it.
Faust grew up in a well-off family in Virginia’s Shenandoah Valley in the 1950s. Even then,she was a trailblazer (先驱) .A conversation with her family’s black handyman (零工) and driver inspired her to write a letter,on school notebook paper,to Dwight Eisenhower.
She asked that he help bring US citizens together in the south,a much divided part of the country at the time.

Seated in a convertible (敞蓬车) with the top down at 60 miles an hour,Mary looked at the flies that sat on top of Mark’s hair. How could they stay there? She wondered.
Mary had not seen Mark in years,until the other day when he came into the cafe where she worked. His appearance was different from when he was in high school. Now,he was a bit fat and thick glasses covered his eyes. However,that didn’t change Mary’s feelings for him at all. He had just bought a new red sports car and asked her if she would like to go for a ride and then have dinner with him. Her heart beat with excitement as he opened the door for her. She noticed something very strange as Mark got into the car and started to drive away. On the hair was a group of flies just sitting there.
Mary stared in amazement. It seemed the faster they drove,the more determined the flies were to stick to his hair.
Mary remained silent. She leaned forward and turned the radio on,to try to divert her attention away from the flies,but she couldn’t help thinking about them. She looked up at Mark,who was completely devoted to what was going on and continued to sing to the music while driving merrily along.
Finally,Mark pulled the vehicle over to the side of the road beside a diner and looked in the mirror and said, “Mary,I would like to comb my hair before we get something to eat. Could you reach under the seat and give me my hair cream?”
