6、Started in 1636, Harvard University is the oldest of the many colleges and universities in the United States, Yale, Princeton, Columbia and Dartmouth were opened soon after Harvard．They were all started before the American Revolution made the thirteen colonies（殖民地） into states．

    In the early years, these schools were much the same．Only young men attended colleges．All the students studied the same subjects, and everyone learned Latin, Greek and Hebrew．Little was known about the science then, and one kind of school could teach everything that was known about the world．When the students graduated（left school）, most of them became ministers or teachers．

4、Milk was one of the main foods of people long before history was written．It will probably keep on being one as long as there are animals that give milk．

    Even the word “milk” is very old．It comes from Sanskrit（梵文）,one of the oldest languages known to man．A very old picture of milking has been found．It was drawn more than five thousand years ago．

    In the years long ago, people got their milk from their own animals．But later new inventions made the milk industry a big business．In 1851 Gail Borden found a way to take some of the water out of milk． This made it keep much longer． Four years later, Louis Pasteur introduced a way to kill the bacteria （细菌） in milk．Next, a special milk bottle was made．This was followed by the invention of machines that could fill bottles with milk．

    These discoveries had a great effect on the milk industry．They meant that milk could be stored longer．

    Some people believe that milk drinking will become less popular than it has been．But remember how long milk has been an important food and think of many ways in which it is useful．It seems safe to say that milk industry will always be important．

1．Milk is probably（most possibly） to be a food of ours        ．

    A．when there are animals that can give milk

    B．where there are animals that can give milk

    C．if there are animals and people in the world

    D．if we want to eat every day

2．The word “milk” comes from         ．

    A．China           B．India          D．England        D．Japan

3．People got their milk mainly from their own animals       ．

A．a hundred years ago．

B．fifty years ago

    C．one hundred and forty years ago

    D．before a number of inventions were made

4．Milk industry will be always an important one because        ．

    A．milk drinking is very popular in the world

    B．milk has been an important food for a long time and is widely used

    C．milk is a food of good taste and there are many cows

    D．milk can be stored （kept） longer and carried to other countries

3、Like many people you may be dreaming of a career as a rock and roll star．There are two ways to go about getting one．First there is the traditional（传统的）way．Find some friends and form a group．Learn to play the guitar or the drums．Write your own songs．Spend hours arguing about the band name．then go out on the road．

   The next step is to spend a year or two touring．If you are any good, the crowds will get bigger．In the end an artist from a record （唱片）company may come to a show．If he or she likes you, there may be a deal （交易）．This is the path traditionally followed by bands in the music industry．Success means fame and wealth．And failure gives you some interesting stories to tell your children．

   Over the last few years a different path to success has become known．Boy bands like Boyzone and girl bands like Spice Girls don’t come together on their own．They are created by managers and record companies．Their image （形象） is strictly controlled．Professional （专业） song writers usually write their music．This is a convenient arrangement （安排） and the public seems to love the result．

   Though boy and girl bands have become very popular recently, there is a long tradition of making music in this way．In the early 1960’s an American businessman called Berry Gordy founded Motown Records．Motown is short for “motor town”．The record company was based in the city of Detroit, where thousands of African-Americans had moved to work in the car industry．They brought with them a cultural tradition of writing and performing music．This style later became known as “soul music”． Berry Gordy was a diamond miner．Motown stars were not just given songs to sing．They were also taught how to dress well and speak properly．
