Recently I paid a visit to Harvard University, where there are top class scientists and professors and the best academic system in the world. I was pretty _1_when I first stepped onto the campus. Well, it's not even really a campus. It's _2_like a district in a small town. Harvard's main buildings are from the 18th century, They look very old and _3 . You might _4 say the you're a little shabby. They don't fit the modern _5 of university at all. The buildings are surrounded by 6 and trees, so I felt as if I had walked into a medieval (connected with the Mid-Ages) castle. But when I looked across the street, _7 shops and in-fashion students made me feel like I was in the 21st century _8 . It creates a strong contrast (对比) and brings a special 9 to the school. Our tour 10 Gary took us around and told us. "You see this grass field in the center of the school? Here is where they hold their _11ceremony. They just set up tents and benches (a long seat for two or more people, especially outdoors) and have a very simple ceremony. It's 12 ! Who would think the most talented students just graduate on the grass? I 13 some students put a blanket on the grass and lie down to read a book. When I listened to the soft sound of14_turning, along with chirping of the birds, I felt very 15 . There was no competitive feeling at all. Harvard has the world's first computer in its science centre 16 there are hundreds of high-end (高端的) computers, too. Its religion and the literature departments are also 17 the best. It is the perfect mix of tradition and 18 technology. It makes Harvard a very attractive place to 19 in. I hope one day I'll 20 my dream school -- Harvard. |
