Stanford University
1. Stanford University, famous as one of northern California&39;s several institutions of higher learning, is sometimes called "the Harvard of the West." The closeness of Stanford to San Francisco, a city thirty-two miles to the north, gives the university a decidedly cosmopolitan (世界性的 ) flavor.
2. The students are enrolled mainly from the western United States. But most of the fifty states send students to Stanford, and many foreign students study here, as well. And standards for admission remain high Young men and women are selected to enter the university from the upper fifteen percent of their high school classes.
3. Not only because of the high caliber (素质 ) of its students but also because of the desirable location and climate, Stanford has attracted to its faculty some of the world&39;s most respected scholars. The university staff has included many Nobel prize winners such as Dr. Felix Bloch, Dr. Robert Hofstadter, and Dr. William Shockley in physics; Dr. Author Kornberg and Dr. Joshua Lederberg in medicine; and Dr. Paul J. Flory and Dr. Linus Panling in chemistry. The Russian novelist Aleksandr Solzhenistsyn has been in residence. Stanford&39;s undergraduate school of engineering and its graduate .schools of business, law, and medicine are especially well-regarded.
4. What is student life like on "The Farm" ? Culturally, the campus is a magnet for both students and citizens of nearby communities. Plays, concerts, and operas are performed in the university&39;s several auditoriums and in its outdoor theater, where graduations are also held. Several film series are presented during the school year. Guest lecturers from public and academic life frequently appear on campus. In the evenings, many students gather to socialize in the Student Union&39;s coffee house ; here the beverages (饮料) and the atmosphere both have a decidedly European flavor. For the sports-minded, the Stanford campus offers highly developed athletic facilities. Team spots, swimming, and track and field activity are all very much part of the Stanford picture. So are bicycling and jogging.
5. In addition to financial support from alumni (校友 ) , Stanford receives grants from the government and from private philanthropic (慈善的 ) foundations. In recent years, government grants have made possible advanced studies in the fields of history, psychology, education, and atomic energy. At present Stanford is carrying out an ambitious building program, financed in part by Stanford Foundation&39;s 25 million grant. Recently added to the campus are a new physics building, new school of business, new graduate school of law, new student union, and undergraduate library.

How to Stay Slim
Here&39;s a familiar version of the boy-meets-girl&39;s situation. A young man has at last plucked up courage to invite a dazzling young lady out to dinner. She has accepted his invitation and he is overjoyed. He is determined to take her to the best restaurant in town, even if it means that he will have to live on memories and hopes during the month to come. When they get to the restaurant, he discovers that this material creature is on a diet. She mustn&39;t eat this and she mustn&39;t drink that. Oh, but of course, she doesn&39;t want to spoil his enjoyment. Let him by all means eat as much fattening food as he wants : it&39;s the surest way to an early grave. They spend a truly memorable evening together and never see each other again.
What miserable dieters are! You can always recognize them from the sour expression on their faces. They spend most of their time turning their noses up at food. They are forever consulting calorie charts ; gazing at themselves in mirrors ; and leaping onto weighing-machines in the bathroom. They spend a lifetime fighting a losing battle against spreading hips, protruding tummies and double chins. Some wage all-out war on FAT. Mere dieting is not enough. They exhaust themselves doing exercises, sweating in sauna baths, being pummeled and massaged by weird machines. The really wealthy diet-mongers pay vast sums for "health cures" . For two weeks they can enter a "nature clinic" and be starved to death for a hundred guineas a week. Don&39;t think it is only the middle-aged who go in for these fads. Many of these bright young things you see are suffering from chronic malnutrition : they are living on nothing but air, water and the goodwill of God.
Dieters undertake to starve themselves of their own free will; so why are they so miserable? Well, for one thing, they&39;re always .hungry. You can&39;t be hungry and happy at the same time. All the horrible concoctions they eat instead of food leave them permanently dissatisfied. "Wonder food is a complete food, " the advertisement says, "just dissolve a teaspoonful in water." A complete food it may be, but not quite as complete as a juicy steak. And, of course, they&39;re always miserable because they feel so guilty. Hunger just proves too much for them and in the end they lash out and devour five huge guilt-inducing cream cakes at a sitting. And who can blame them ? At least three times a day they are exposed to temptation. What utter torture it is always watching other tucking into piles of mouth-watering food while you munch a water biscuit and sip unsweetened lemon juice!
