Entering a university is an important part of a person’s life. Today, many people go to study and train for a future job in subjects like law (法律), medicine or education. But the university is not a modern invention. It has a history that is over a thousand years.
The world’s oldest university, AL-Azhar, is in Cario, Egypt. It was first built as a mosque for religion (宗教寺院) in A.D.972. A few years later, learners and teachers began meeting in the mosque. They read and talked about the subject of law. Around 988, leaders in the city of Cario decided to open up a school for higher learning and the University of AL-Azhar was founded.
At AL-Azhar, there were many university ‘firsts’. Different subjects were set up. The earliest ones taught at AL-Azhar were in law and religion. In a course, students read and studied with the teacher, but there was also free discussion. Often, students and teachers talked about a topic (题目), and there was no ‘right’ answer. Finally, famous teachers from around the world came to AL-Azhar to teach and do deep studies on the subjects they were interested in. At the university, people studied the past, but it was also a place for exchanging new ideas. 
Over a thousand years later, AL-Azhar is still an important university in the world. Its library keeps more than 250,000 of the world’s oldest and most valuable (有价值的) books. Today, many of the world’s most important universities such as Oxford and Harvard still follow the traditions started at AL-Azhar.From the first paragraph（段落） we know that _________.

Clara Daly was sitting on an Alaska Airlines flight from Boston to Los Angeles when she heard a worried voice over the loudspeaker： "Does anyone on board know American Sign Language？"
Clara， 15 at the time， pressed the call button． An air hostess came by and explained the situation． "We have a passenger on the plane who's blind and deaf，" she said． The passenger seemed to want something， but he was traveling alone and the air hostesses couldn't understand what he needed．
Clara had been studying ASL for the past year to help blind and deaf people and she knew she'd be able to finger spell into the man's palm． So she rose from her seat， walked toward the front of the plane， and knelt by the seat of Tim Cook， then Gently taking his hand， she signed， "How are you？ Are you OK？" Cook asked for some water．
When it arrived， Clara returned to her seat． She came by again a bit later because he wanted to know the time． On her third visit， she stopped and stayed for a while．
"He didn't need anything． He was lonely and wanted to talk，" Clara said．
So for the next hour， she talked about her family and her plans for the future． Cook told Clara how he had become blind over time and shared stories of his days as a traveling salesman． Even though he couldn't see her，she "looked attentively at his face with such kindness，" a passenger reported．

Have you ever put your old clothes into the donation box in your neighborhood？ If not， you can do it right now because the clothes donation is becoming a trend（ 趋势 ） in Urumqi．
"From time to time， my mother clears out the clothes which I no longer wear． You know， we teenagers are growing fast． I think it's a good way to help others． " Lin Tao， a junior student says．

"That seems like a good idea． Some clothes in the box are quite new． People can either wear them or use themto make things such as handbags and pencil cases．" Mrs． Wang， an old woman says， "Sometimes I also look through the box for some nice clothes．"
However， there are some problems along with the popularity of clothes donation． Recently， a UTV reporter from Focus on the City has made a survey． Here are the results：

"What's worse，" one of the staff in a community added， "We qutie often see people throw rubbish
into the box when they pass by． We've tried to stop them several times but failed． It has been the most serious problem since we set the box．"
In order to make the donation box work in an efficient（ 有 效 的 ） way， our government is taking action． Clothes donation will be better﹣organized and it'll be more convenient for people in need to take the clothes away．
