19、rinceton, Columbia and Dartmouth were opened soon after Harvard.In the early years, these schools were much alike. 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 cou

20、ld teach everything that was known about the world. When the students graduated, most of them became ministers (大臣) or teachers.In 1782, Harvard started a medical school for young men who wanted to become doctors. Later, lawyers could receive their training in Harvards law school. In 1825, besides L

21、atin and Greek, Harvard began teaching modern languages, such as French and German.

26、 only be pruned (修剪) when there is a good reason for doing so. Many gardeners believe that more damage results from doing it unnecessarily than from leaving the tree to grow in its own way.First, pruning may be done to make sure that trees have a desired shape. The object may be to get a tree of the

27、 right height, and to help the growth of small side branches which will thicken its appearance or give it a special shape. Secondly, pruning may be done to make the tree healthier. You may cut out diseased or dead wood, or branches that are rubbing against each other and thus causing wounds. A tree

28、may grow healthier by removing the branches that are locking up the centre and so preventing the free movement of air.One result of pruning is that an open wound is left on the tree and this provides an easy entry (进入) for diseases, but it is a wound that will heal.

29、 healing and the disease as to whether the tree will live or die.

32、om pruning will do the following EXCEPT _.A. damage the tree B. heal itselfC. cause the disease D. give the tree a desired shape（分数：3.00）A.B.C.D.(4).The writer suggests that pruning should be done in winter because _.A. the cut surface can heal more quicklyB. open wounds on the tree run the less ris
