　　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 shocked when I first stepped onto the campus．Well, it's not even really a campus．It's more like a district in a small town．

　　Harvard's main buildings are from the 18^th century．They look very old and simple．You might even say they're a little shabby．They don't 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 21^st 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 world's 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 I'll attend my dream school－Harvard．

　　Police Officer Tidwell left the station after 8 a.m.on Sunday．He was looking forward to his day of rest．By habit he took a short cut down the path behind Digby Hall Road．Suddenly he saw a man climbing down a drain-pipe from an open bedroom window of number 29．Quietly Tidwell walked into the garden．The man had just reached the ground when he felt his arm grasped．

　　“It seems an unlikely adventure．Would you mind explaining?” said the officer．The man was frightened, saying, “I know what’s on your mind, officer, but it is a mistake．”

　　“It's part of my job to take an interest in unusual events．I think you’ve just left this house in a manner other than the customary one．” Tidwell took out his notebook and a pen．“Name, address and your job and then, please, tell me your story．”

　　“Charlie Crane, Lorry Driver, from Nottingham, 51 Brecon Street．My story…”

　　“Yes, What were you doing, Mr．Crane?”

　　“Well, I had a breakdown yesterday and had to stay here until it was fixed．Bed and breakfast．The landlady is Mrs．Fern．She gave me breakfast at seven, and I was out here in the right way and down at the lorry park．It was only when I felt for a cigarette that I realised I’d left 80 pounds under the pillow．It’s my habit to put my money under the pillow at night．”

　　“I see．Have you paid Mrs．Fern?”

　　“I’d paid her last night．So I came back, but it’s Sunday, and she’d gone back to bed．Could I wake her?I rang the bell and knocked on the door for ten minutes before I came here and found my bedroom window still open．Up I went, then, up this pipe．The money was still there．I hope you believe it because…”

　　“Mr．Crane, what are you doing here?I thought you’d gone an hour ago．” It was Mrs．Fern, speaking from the kitchen window．
