哈佛大學(xué)是大學(xué)中的明珠，它以其獨(dú)特的魅力成為全球無(wú)數(shù)學(xué)子朝拜的圣地，成為大學(xué)教育的圭臬。去過哈佛大學(xué)的人，即便已經(jīng)離開，但，心永遠(yuǎn)留在了那兒。

During the summer holiday，I went to a summer camp in the United States.After spending weeks in Columbia University and Stanford University for math and writing classes，I still had some free time before I had to go back to China.

“So why not go for a campus tour of Harvard?”asked my mom.

To be honest，I was disappointed when she said this，as I knew that my mom's suggestion was really an order，but I'd planned to go to the Universal Studios theme park.

But my complaints vanished（消失）the moment I arrived at Harvard.It didn't even look like a campus，because Harvard doesn't have a traditional gate or border.Instead，it goes with the community around it naturally.

The campus was large—much larger than I had expected.There were not only restaurants and shopping malls on it， but also small parks—just like a tiny city.I arrived at the admission office and found the assistant who showed me around.

First，we went to the library，which was huge.The guide told me that the family who set up the library bydonating（捐贈(zèng)）the money to build it in 1915 asked the college president not to build any more storeys after it was completed.So，the school had to think of a different way to store more books.Soon after，the basement（ 地 下 室 ）was enlarged， and later， the college began to build underground reading space.Although it might look like a small building，there are more than 92 kilometers of shelves in the library.

Apart from the impressive library，many activities are available in the university after class.As well as sports like basketball， soccer， and football， students are encouraged to take art，violin， photography， and drama classes， for example.Additionally，if students have already passed the highest grading-examination on the course they're currently on，Harvard can offer them the opportunity to learn at a company or in a lab，depending on the student's preference.

I was stunned（震驚的）by what I saw at Harvard because I hadn't expected to see so many amazing things.I had no regret any longer，as Harvard University was much better than I thought.It truly is one of the world's best schools，and was more exciting than any theme park.

2.但當(dāng)我一到哈佛的時(shí)候，我的抱怨就消失了。

【答案】the moment、the minute或 the instant

The guide told me that the family _______ set up the library by donating the money to build it in 1915 asked the college president not to build any more storeys after it was completed.

【點(diǎn)石成金】先行詞為the family，從句缺主語(yǔ)，故填who來(lái)引導(dǎo)定語(yǔ)從句；set up “建立”；to build為動(dòng)詞不定式做目的狀語(yǔ)；after引導(dǎo)的是時(shí)間狀語(yǔ)從句。

【答案】who

4.此外，如果學(xué)生已經(jīng)通過了他們目前正在進(jìn)行的課程的最高等級(jí)考試，哈佛大學(xué)可以提供給他們?cè)诠净驅(qū)嶒?yàn)室學(xué)習(xí)的機(jī)會(huì)，這取決于學(xué)生的喜好。

【點(diǎn)石成金】they're currently on是一個(gè)省略了that或which的定語(yǔ)從句，that/which在從句中充當(dāng)介詞on的賓語(yǔ)；名詞opportunity后的定語(yǔ)常用動(dòng)詞不定式形式；“依賴于”可用depend on/upon,rely on/upon來(lái)表達(dá)，但應(yīng)使用非謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞形式。

【答案】to learn；depending on/upon或relying on/upon

人力資源工作涉及企業(yè)每個(gè)員工的切身利益，人力資源管理信息化使全員參與人力資源管理工作成為現(xiàn)實(shí)。因此，增強(qiáng)員工信息化意識(shí)，全員支持信息化建設(shè)，無(wú)論對(duì)企業(yè)還是對(duì)員工個(gè)人都是非常重要的。對(duì)企業(yè)而言，通過信息技術(shù)，可以提升人力資源管理效率，降低企業(yè)管理成本，也為企業(yè)整體的信息化推進(jìn)打下良好的基礎(chǔ)；對(duì)員工個(gè)人而言，可以提升工作技能，增強(qiáng)企業(yè)歸屬感和榮譽(yù)感，提升工作工作滿意度。

譯文助讀

暑假期間，我去了美國(guó)的一個(gè)夏令營(yíng)。在哥倫比亞大學(xué)和斯坦福大學(xué)度過了幾周，并在那里上了數(shù)學(xué)和寫作課。在我必須回中國(guó)之前，我還有一些空閑的時(shí)間。

“那為什么不去參觀哈佛大學(xué)呢？”媽媽問道。

老實(shí)說(shuō)，當(dāng)她這么說(shuō)的時(shí)候，我很失望，因?yàn)槲抑牢覌寢尩慕ㄗh實(shí)際上是個(gè)命令，但我已計(jì)劃去環(huán)球影城主題公園。

但當(dāng)我一到哈佛的時(shí)候，我的抱怨就消失了。它看上去甚至不像一個(gè)校園，因?yàn)楣饹]有傳統(tǒng)的大門或邊界，相反，它與周圍的社區(qū)相得益彰。

校園很大——比我預(yù)想的要大得多，不僅有餐館和購(gòu)物中心，還有小公園——就像一個(gè)小城市。我到了招生辦公室，找到了那個(gè)帶我參觀的助理。

首先，我們?nèi)チ藞D書館，那里很大。導(dǎo)游告訴我，1915年捐出錢建圖書館的那個(gè)家庭要求校長(zhǎng)在建成后不要再增加樓層。因此，學(xué)校不得不想一種不同的方法來(lái)儲(chǔ)存更多的書，后來(lái)地下室擴(kuò)大了，學(xué)院開始建造地下閱讀空間。盡管看起來(lái)可能有點(diǎn)像一座小建筑，但圖書館有超過92公里長(zhǎng)的書架。

除了令人印象深刻的圖書館外，大學(xué)課后還有許多活動(dòng)可供利用。比如，除了籃球、足球等運(yùn)動(dòng)外，學(xué)校還鼓勵(lì)學(xué)生選修藝術(shù)、小提琴、攝影和戲劇課。此外，如果學(xué)生已經(jīng)通過了他們目前正在進(jìn)行的課程的最高等級(jí)考試，哈佛大學(xué)可以提供給他們?cè)诠净驅(qū)嶒?yàn)室學(xué)習(xí)的機(jī)會(huì)，這取決于學(xué)生的喜好。

我在哈佛看到的事情讓我大吃一驚，因?yàn)槲覜]想到會(huì)看到這么多令人驚奇的事情。我不再后悔了，因?yàn)楣鸫髮W(xué)比我想象的要好得多，它確實(shí)是世界上最好的學(xué)校之一，并且比任何主題公園都更令人興奮。
