Read the following andmark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions.
Harvard University, today recognized as part of the top echelon of the world's universities, came from very inauspicious and humble beginning.
This oldest of American universities was founded in 1636, just sixteen years after the Pilgrims landed at Plymouth. Included in the Puritan emigrants to the Massachusetts colony during this period were more than 100 graduates of England's prestigious Oxford and Cambridge universities, and these universities graduates in the New Word were determined that their sons would have the same educational opportunities that they themselves had had. Because of this support in the colony for an institution of higher learning, the General
Court of Massachusetts appropriated 400 pounds for a college in October of 1636 and early the following year decided on a parcel of land for the school; this land was in an area called Newetowne, which was later renamed Cambridge after its English cousin and is the site of the present-day university.
When a young minister named John Harvard, who came from the neighboring town of Charlestowne, died from tuberculosis in 1638, he willed half of his estate of 1,700 pounds to the fledgling college. In spite of the fact that only half of the bequest was actually paid, the General Court named the college after the minister in appreciation for what he had done. The amount of the bequest may not have been large, particularly by today's standard, but it was more than the General Court had found it necessary to appropriate in order to open the college.
Henry Dunster was appointed the first president of Harvard in 1640, and it should be noted that in addition to serving as president, he was also the entire faculty, with an entering freshmen class of four students. Although the staff did expand somewhat, for the first century of its existence the entire teaching staff consisted of the president and three or four tutors.
The passage implies that __________________.
A. Someone else really served as president of Harvard before Henry Dunster
B. Henry Dunster was an ineffective president
C. Henry Dunster spent much of his time as president managing the Harvard faculty
D. The position of president of Harvard was not merely an administrative position in the early ears

Dịch bài
Đại học Harvard, ngày nay được công nhận như một phần cấp bậc cao trong các trường đại học trên thế giới, đi lên từ một khởi đầu không may mắn và tầm thường.
Trường đại học lâu năm nhất trong các trường đại học ở Mỹ này được thành lập năm 1636, chỉ mười sáu năm sau khi người Pilgrims đổ bộ đến Plymouth. Được bao gồm trong những người nhập cư Puritans đến Massachusetts trong giai đoạn này, hơn 100 cử nhân của trường đại học Oxford và Cambridge danh tiếng, và những vị cử nhân này trong Thế giới Mới quyết tâm rằng con trai của họ cũng phải có cơ hội giáo dục như họ đã từng. Bởi vì sự hỗ trợ này ở thuộc địa cho một tổ chức học tập cao hơn, Tổng Tòa án Massachusetts chiếm đoạt 400 bảng Anh cho một trường đại học vào tháng 10 năm 1636 và đầu năm sau quyết định chọn một nửa thửa đất cho trường đại học này; mảnh đất đó nằm ở một khu vực tên là Newetowne, sau này được đổi tên thành Cambridge theo tên của anh em họ người Anh của nó và là trang web của các trường đại học ngày nay.
Khi một bộ trưởng trẻ tuổi tên là John Harvard, người đến từ thị trấn lân cận của Charlestown, chết vì bệnh lao năm 1636, Ngài muốn để lại một nửa tài sản của mình là 1.700 bảng cho trường đại học mới thành lập. Mặc dù thực tế rằng chỉ có một nửa số tiền để lại đó được thực trả, Tổng Tòa án đã đặt tên cho trường đại học đó theo tên vị bộ trưởng trong sự đánh giá cao những gì ông đã làm. Số tiền thừa kế đó có thể không phải là lớn, nhất là theo tiêu chuẩn ngày nay, nhưng nó nhiều hơn số tiền mà Tổng Tòa Án cho rằng cần thiết để mở một trường học.
Henry Dunster được bổ nhiệm làm hiệu trưởng đầu tiên của Đại học Harvard năm 1640, và nên lưu ý rằng ngoài việc làm việc như hiệu trưởng, ông cũng là một giảng viên, với một lớp tân sinh viên có 4 sinh viên. Mặc dù số nhân viên đã mở rông một chút, đối với thế kỷ đầu của sự tồn tại của nó, toàn bộ cán bộ giảng dạy bao gồm hiệu trưởng và ba hoặc bốn giảng viên.
