A lady in an old cotton dress and her husband, dressed in an old suit, stepped off the train in Boston, and walked into the president of Harvard’s outer office. The secretary could tell in a moment that such country people had no business at Harvard. She frowned(皺眉). “We want to see the president,” the man said softly. “He’ll be busy all day,” the secretary said coldly. “We’ll wait,” the lady replied.

For hours, the secretary didn’t talk to them, hoping that the couple would finally become tired and go away. They didn’t. And the secretary finally decided to disturb the president. “Maybe if they just see you for a few minutes, they’ll leave,” she told him. He frowned too. Someone of his importance obviously didn’t have the time to spend with them.

The president walked toward them unwillingly. The lady told him, “We had a son that attended Harvard for one year. He loved Harvard, and was very happy here. But he was accidentally killed. And my husband and I would like to set up a memorial(紀(jì)念碑) to him somewhere on campus. ” The president was so surprised that he shouted sharply, “We can’t put up a statue(塑像) for every person who attended Harvard and died. This place would look like a cemetery (墓地).

“Oh, no” the lady explained, “We don’t want to build a statue. We thought we would give a building to Harvard.” The president rolled his eyes. He glanced at their plain clothes, and said with surprise, “A building! Do you have any idea how much a building costs? We have over seven and a half million dollars in the physical buildings here at Harvard.”

For a moment the lady was silent. The president was pleased. He could get rid of them now. The lady turned to her husband and said quietly. “Is that all it costs to start a university? Why don't we just start our own?” Her husband nodded. Mr. and Mrs. Leland Stanford walked away, traveling to Palo Alto, California where they set up the university with their name, Stanford University, a memorial to a son that Harvard no longer cared about.

With more and more cars on the road, the traffic jam will happen. How do we see it and how can we solve the problem?

We know that the traffic jam happens in many places, especially in big cities. What are reasons for the problem? On one hand, some people think that they should have a car when they have enough money, and then it’s easy to go out and they can feel comfortable. On the other hand, a growing number of people hope to use their cars to show off (炫耀). What’s more, years of research has shown that one of other reasons for the traffic jam is the driving habit. For example, many young people enjoy driving very fast, so they can feel excited. At last, most of them hardly care about the speed rules.

Many governments are working at how to make the traffic better. In my opinion, firstly, the governments should educate those people who have cars or plan to buy cars. The governments must make them know that the traffic jam is very serious, and set up a much more perfect traffic system to solve the traffic pressure.

1.What does the underlined word “jam” mean in Chinese?

A．事故             B．堵塞             C．規(guī)則             D．肇事者

2.Why is the traffic jam getting more and more serious?

A．Because there are not enough ways of transportation.

B．Because there are fewer speed rules.

C．Because there are more and more cars on the roads.

D．Because the speed rules make young people have a bad driving habit.

3.Which of the following is NOT true?

A．The reason for the traffic jam is that people have too much work.

B．The reason for the traffic jam is that more and more people drive cars.

C．The reason for the traffic jam is that some people want to show off.

D．The reason for the traffic jam is that some people don’t have good driving habits.

4.What should the governments do to make the traffic better?

A．They should educate those people who are young.

B．They should set up a much more perfect traffic system.

C．They shouldn’t allow people to buy so many cars.

D．They should make people know the difficult to solve the problem of the traffic jam.

5.What does the passage mainly talk about?

A．Different traffic problems.

B．Reasons why people want to buy cars.

C．How drivers should drive.

D．The traffic jam, reasons for it and solutions.
