school.Last month she explained to one of her classes about sound, and she
decided to test them to see how successful she had been in her explanation. She

phone and at the same time you were 75 feet away, listening to me from across
the street, which of you would hear what I said earlier, my brother or you and

Tom at once answered,“Your brother.
Because electricity travels faster than sound waves.”“That's every good,”Miss
Gogers answered; but then one of the girls raised her hand, and Miss Gogers

It was Monday. Mrs Smith's dog was hungry, but there was not any meat in
the house.
Considering that there was no better
way. Mrs Smith took a piece of paper, and wrote the following words on it:“Give
my dog half a pound of meat.”Then she gave the paper to her dog and said

going to give you your lunch today.”
Holding the piece of paper in its mouth,
the dog ran to the butcher's. It gave the paper to the butcher. The butcher

Started in 1636, Harvard University is the oldest of all the many colleges and
universities in the United
States. Yale,Princeton, Columbia and
Dartmouth were opened soon after Harvard.
In the early years, these school were
much.alike(*similar).Only young men went to college. All the students studied
the same subjects,and everyone learned Latin, Greek and Hebrew. Little was
known about science then, and one kind of school could teach everything that
was known about the world. When the students graduated(*毕业),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 receive
their training(*训练)in
Harvard's law school. In 1825, besides Latin and Greek, Harvard began teaching

history.
As knowledge increased, Harvard and
other colleges began to teach many new subjects. Students were allowed to
choose the subjects that interested them.
