Historians usually just study great things that happened in the past time, but Drew Faust has

made history! On February 11, 2007, Faust was named president of Harvard University. She is the first woman to hold the position in the school’s 371 year history.

"I am a historian," she said. I've spent a lot of time thinking about the past, and about how

it shapes the future. No university in thecountry, perhaps the world, had as remarkable a past as

Harvard’s."

"And ourcommon enterprise is to make Harvard’s future even more remarkable than its past.

That will mean recognizing and building on what we already do well. It will also mean recognizing what we don’ t do as well as we should, and not being satisfied until we find ways to do better."

It is her great desire for improvement and willingness to try out ideas that have given Drew

success in a world controlled by men. "This is a man’s world, my girl, and the sooner you learn

that, the better off you’11 be." Drew Faust recalls her mother telling her this when she was young,

but she didn’t accept it.

Faust grew up in a well-off family in Virginia’s Shenandoah Valley in the 1950s. Even then

She was a trailblazer(先驱).A conversation with her family's black handyman and driver inspired

Her to write a letter, on school notebook paper, to President Dwight Eisenhower.

She asked whether he could help bring US citizens together in the south, a much divided

part of the country at the time.

"Drew Faust is a historian with her eyes on the future," said Susan Graham, a professor of

Harvard. Many of the university’s schools said that they believe Harvard will have a brighter

future under the leadership of Drew Faust.

People feel differently about advertising.People who are against it often argue that it is

immoral. They say ads are full of tricks. They also contain mistakes in grammar. Other people say

advertisers have a right to speak freely. This is guaranteed by law. They point out that people do

not have to view the ads.

Weasel words Advertisers often use special words or phrases.Thesewordsor phrases are

often misleading. These words are called "weasel words". Advertisers are free to use them as long

as they stick to the rules. The government decides what these rules are. Examples of weasel words

are "helps", "virtual", "new and improved"，and "like".

"Helps" People often think"help"means stop.Advertisers use it so that they can say

things that aren’t necessarily true. Legally, help means to aid or assist. For example, a product can "help" cure indigestion. In fact, the product down’tcure indigestion. Can you think of some ads that use“help"?

"virtually" To advisers, "virtually" means "not really" or "not in fact". If you see an ad that says this cold medicine relieves virtually all symptoms, the ad〔ould really mean it doesn't relieve any symptoms. Can you think of some ads that use "virtually"?

"New and Improved" A product can only be considered new for six months. Any small

change in a product will make it new. Often, this change does not make a product better. Yet, the

change often makes it more expensive. New is often used with "improved". Can you think of some ads that use "new" and "improved"?

"Like" "Like" can mean "not in fact". Some products claim they work "like magic”.Like often takes the audience’s attention off the product.Think of "like magic.”If things are like magic，they are not magic.Can you think of some ads that use "like" or "like magic”?

Psychologists have discovered that even the most independent-minded of us will conform to

social pressure when we are with a group of people. In one classie experiment, people were shown

a vertical line and asked to find a line of identical length from a selection of three.

You might think that this is an absurdly easy task, and when people perform it by themselves

they do it very well. However, psychologists have discovered that we are very easily swayed by the opinions of other people when we do this task in a group. In one study, a group of three people

was set up,where two of the people were confederates(同伙)of the experimenter.When the confederates deliberately gave wrong answers,people were often swayed to give the wrong answer also. In fact, 75% of people gave at least one wrong answer, with some people conforming to peer pressure on every occasion.

But why do people conform in this way? In an easy task like this, it seems that people do

not want to step out of line with the prevailing opinion of the group. On more difficult tasks, people also conform because they lose〔onfidence in their own ability to make decisions a
