Universities in America

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 schools were much similar. Only young men went to colleges. 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 left school, 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 in Harvard’s law school. In 1825. besides Latin and Greek, Harvard began teaching modern languages, such as French and German. Soon it began teaching American history.

閱讀短文，根據(jù)要求回答問題。

Do you wonder why your classmates always get higher marks than you? If you think it is because they are cleverer than you, you are really wrong, according to American authors Wood Smethurst and william Luckie. In their book, Study Power, they say that successful students are not cleverer than others and that they just know the best ways to study for exams.

“The best way to study is to study actively, say the authors. You must ask yourself questions as you work. Asking yourself questions will help you remember information better and faster. To study better you also need to make the best use of your time: When you study, the authors say, only go on for 20 minutes at a time. If you study for longer you will start thinking about other things and not learn anything. The authors also tell students to listen to everything their teachers say in class and write it down.

The authors say that everyone can get high marks if they learn actively and follow their tips.
