In 1782, Harvard started a medical school for young men who wanted to become doctors. Later, lawyers could study in Harvard's law school. In 1825, besides Latin and Greek, Harvard began to teach modern languages, such as French and German. Soon it began to teach American history.21·cn·jy·com
As knowledge increased, Harvard and other colleges began to teach many new subjects. Students could choose the subjects that interested them.
Today, there are many different kinds of colleges and universities. Most of them are made up of smaller schools that deal with special fields of learning. There's so much to learn that one kind of school can't offer all.

Why do plants grow in some places but not in others? Why does some land have so many plants growing on it, while other land has almost no plants growing on it at all?
To grow, plants need several things. One is warmth. In very cold places almost nothing grows. Plants also need water. In very dry parts of the Earth only a few unusual plants can grow. That’s why there are almost no trees or grass in dry deserts.
Plants must also have a place to put down their roots and grow. They find it difficult to grow on hard land. The town is built (被建立) on hard land. The plants there have only the soil between the cracks of the stones to grow in.
Another thing plants must have before they can grow is food. What will happen if we try to make things grow on the sandy beach? A few plants, such as grass, will grow in sand, but most plants won't. Even if the weather is warm enough and we water the plants each day, many of them will die because the sand on this beach has almost no food for plants.
（ ）13. According to the passage, plants need things to grow well.
A. two B. three C. four D. five
（ ）14. The underlined word "cracks" means .
A. long narrow openings B. the surface of something
C. small plants on something D. the bottom of something
（ ）15. From the passage, we can know it is for plants to grow in dry places.
A. easy B. difficult C. impossible D. important
（ ）16. The passage can most probably be found in a book.
A. science B. history C. travel D. math
