　　In the early years, these schools were much alike. Only young men attended 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      81      that was known about the world. When the students graduated, most of them became ministers or teachers.

　　In 1782, Harvard started a      82     school for young men who wanted to become doctors. Later, lawyers could receive their training in Harvard's law school. In 1825, Harvard began teaching modern      83     , such as French and German, as well as Latin and Greek. Soon it began teaching American history.

　　As knowledge      84      , Harvard and the other colleges began to teach many new subjects. No one student could learn all the subjects that were taught. Students were allowed to choose the subjects that interested them.

　　Special colleges for women were started. New state universities began to teach such subjects as farming, engineering and business. Today, there are many different kinds of colleges and universities. Most are divided into smaller schools that       85     special fields of learning. There is so much to learn that one kind of school cannot offer it all.

　　I recently heard a story about a famous scientist. Because of his great achievements, he was thought to be more creative than the average person. When he was asked w   86   he was able to do this, he gave the answer. It all came from an e    87   with his mother when he was about two years old. "I was trying to get a bottle of milk from the fridge when I lost the bottle and it fell, spilling the milk all over the floor-----a sea of milk! I was f   88   and I didn't know what to do!" he said.

　　His mother heard the noise and got into the kitchen. "I was considering how to e   89  all this to her," he said. Instead of punishing(惩罚) him, she said, "Robert, what a great mess you have made! I have never seen such a huge sea of milk before! Well, since the milk has a    90  been spilled, would you like to play in the milk for a while? We can clean it up after that."

　　Indeed, he did so. After a few minutes, his mother said, "You know, Robert, whenever you make a mess like this, finally you have to clean it up." He used a sponge (海绵) and together they cleaned up the spilled milk.

　　His mother then said,"You know, we failed in how to successfully carry a big milk bottle with two tiny hands just now. Let's go out in the yard and fill the bottle with water to see if you can f    91  a way to carry it." Then the little boy learned that if he grasped the bottle at the top near the lip with both hands, he could carry it w    92   dropping it.

　　What a wonderful lesson!

　　D. Answer the following questions.（根据短文内容回答下列问题。)        ( 12分)

　　Working together

　　Some animals can be trained to help humans. For example, specially trained dogs help blind people walk around the town safely. Some kinds of monkeys can be taught things too. They can learn how to help people who can't use their arms or legs. The monkeys pick up the phone when it rings, carry shopping bags and do housework.

　　In the wild, animals and humans are not usually friends, but there are a few interesting examples where they can work together. In Africa, the honeyguide bird works with humans to find food. The bird likes to eat the grubs - a type of insect that lives inside a beehive（蜂窝）． It knows how to find beehives but it can't open them and get the grubs. People like to eat honey, but they aren't very good at finding beehives, so the bird and the people help each other. The bird flies to a beehive and people follow it. When the people open the beehive and take the honey, they give the grubs to the bird.

　　In Laguna in the south of Brazil, fishermen and dolphins（海豚） work as a team. The ocean isn't very clean, so the fishermen can't see the fish. However, dolphins can find them easily by using sounds. When the dolphins find a large group of fish, they make a noise to tell the fishermen. Then the dolphins push the fish toward the beach. The fishermen wait in the water near the beach and catch a lot of fish in their nets. The fishermen's nets make it easier for the dolphins to catch fish too. In Laguna, fishermen and dolphins have been working together for many years. The fishermen teach their children how to work with the dolphins. The dolphins must be happy to help because they teach their babies how to work with the humans!
