I was pretty shocked when I first stepped onto the campus. Well, its not even really a campus. Its more like a district in a small town. Harvards main buildings are from the 18th century. They look very old and simple. You might even say theyre a little shabby. They dont fit the modern idea of university at all. The buildings are surrounded by grass and trees, so I felt as if I had walked into a medieval castle. But when I looked across the street, busy shops and in-fashion students made me feel like I was in the 21st century again. It creates a strong contrast(对照) and brings a special atmosphere to the school. Our tour guide Gary took us around and told us, “You see this grass field in the center of the school? Here is where they host their graduation ceremony. They just set up tents and benches and have a very simple ceremony. Unbelievable! Who would think the most talented students just graduate on the lawn? I saw some students put a blanket on the grass and lie down to read a book. When I listened to the soft sound of pages turning, along with the chirping(鸟叫声) of the birds, I felt very calm. There was no competitive feeling at all. Harvard has the worlds first computer in its science center and there are hundreds of high-end computers too. Its religion and the literature departments are also among the best. It is the perfect mix of tradition and new technology. It makes Harvard a very attractive place to study in. I hope one day Ill attend my dream school-Harvard.44. The article is mainly about _.

As he looked down the beach, he saw a human figure moving like a dancer. He smiled to himself at the thought that someone would dance on the beach. So he began to walk faster to catch up.As he got closer, he saw that it was a young man and the young man wasnt dancing, but instead he was reaching down to the shore, picking up something and very gently throwing it into the ocean.As he got closer he called out, “Good morning! What are you doing?The young man paused, looked up and replied, “Throwing starfish in the ocean. “I guess I should have asked, why are you throwing starfish in the ocean? “The sun is up and the tide is going out, and if I dont throw them in theyll die.“But, young man, dont you realize that there are miles and miles of beach and starfish all along it. You cant possibly make a difference!The young man listened politely, then he bent down, picked another starfish and threw it into the sea, past the breaking waves and said, “It made a difference for that one.There is something very special in each and every one of us. We have all been gifted with the ability to make a difference. And if we can know that gift, we will gain through the strength of our visions the power to shape the future.We must each find our starfish.
