The Cost of Higher Education
Individuals (个人) should pay for their higher education.
A university education is of huge and direct benefit to the individual. Graduates earn more than non-graduates. Meanwhile, social mobility is ever more dependent on having a degree. However, only some people have it. So the individual, not the taxpayers, should pay for it. There are pressing calls on the resources (资源) of the government. Using taxpayers' money to help a small number of people to earn high incomes in the future is not one of them.
Full government funding (资助) is not very good for universities. Adam Smith worked in a Scottish university whose teachers lived off student fees. He knew and looked down upon 18th-century Oxford, where the academics lived comfortably off the income received from the government. Guaranteed salaries, Smith argued, were the enemy of hard work; and when the academics were lazy and incompetent, the students were similarly lazy.
If students have to pay for their education, they not only work harder, but also demand more from their teachers. And their teachers have to keep them satisfied. If that means taking teaching seriously, and giving less time to their own research interests, that is surely something to celebrate.
Many people believe that higher education should be free because it is good for the economy (经济). Many graduates clearly do contribute to national wealth, but so do all the businesses that invest (投资) and create jobs. If you believe that the government should pay for higher education because graduates are economically productive, you should also believe that the government should pay part of business costs. Anyone promising to create jobs should receive a gift of capital from the government to invest. Therefore, it is the individual, not the government, who should pay for their university education.
1.The underlined word "them" in Paragraph 2 refers to
A.taxpayers B.pressing calls C.college graduates D.government resources
2.The author thinks that with full government funding
A.teachers are less satisfied
B.students are more demanding
C.students will become more competent
D.teachers will spend less time on teaching
3.The author mentions businesses in Paragraph 5 in order to
A. argue against free university education
B. call on them to finance students' studies
C. encourage graduates to go into business
D. show their contribution to higher education

Across the globe, single-parent homes are on the rise. In the US, the 2000 census (人口普查 ) showed 24.8 million or nearly 24 percent of the nation's 105.5 million households, were traditional two-parent homes. By comparison, 9.8 million households or 9.8 million of all US households were headed by an adult raising a child alone. The 1990 census showed 26 percent of homes were led by a married mother and father, and 8 percent of homes were led by a singe parent.
Similar increases occurred in other countries. In the UK, lone-parent family homes increased from 3.3 percent in 1990 to 5.5 percent in 1999. Single parent households in Australia rose from 5.8 percent in 1990 to 7.6 percent in l999. Belgium saw the increase from 1. 8 percent to 2.7 during the same period of time. These countries tend to have greater acceptance of single parenting because there are fewer nearby family members to disapprove, Riche, a Census Bureau director, said.
Just as in the US, those changes raised new questions about how involved government should be in helping single-parent families. Some research suggests children raised in two-parent families are better off than those who depend on one.
"The position of one-parent families in any country is very much a gender (性别) issue－women's opportunities, especially working-class women on low income," said Sue Chen, coordinator (协调员) of the Single Action Parents Network in England.
1.Not considering the exact number of the single-parent families, which country saw the fastest rise rate in 1999, compared with 1990?
A. UK. B. Australia. C. America. D. Belgium.
2.What is the cause of the rise of single-parent families across the globe?
A. The nearby family members have a favorable opinion.
B. A lone parent is well off enough to support his/her children.
C. A lot of problems have arisen in two-parent families.
D. We cannot get enough proving information from the text.
3.Which of the following is TRUE about the increase of single-parent families according to the passage?
A. It will somewhat limit the growing population of younger generation.
B. Governments should take actions about the social problems brought about by it.
C. Single-parent families are not looked down upon in any country mentioned here.
D. Generally speaking, the single parents needn’t worry since they are highly paid.

Boiler rooms are often dirty and steamy, but this one is clean and cool. Fox Point is a very new47-unit living building in South Bronx, one of the city’s poorest areas. Two-thirds of the people living there are formerly (以前) homeless people, whose rent is paid by the government. The rest are low-income families. The boiler room has special equipment, which produces energy for electricity and heat. It reuses heat that would otherwise be lost to the air, reducing carbon emissions(碳排放)while also cutting costs.
Fox Point is operated by Palladia, a group that specializes in providing housing and services to needy, people. Palladia received support from Enterprise Community Partners (ECP), which helps build affordable housing by providing support to housing developers.
ECP has created national standards for healthy, environmentally (环境方面) clever and affordable homes which are called, the Green Communities Standards. These standards include water keeping, energy saving and the use of environmentally friendly building materials. Meeting the standards increases housing construction costs by 2%, which is rapidly paid back by lower running costs. Even the positioning of a window to get most daylight can help save energy.
Michael. Bloomberg, New York's mayor, plans to create 165,000 affordable housing units for500,000 New Yorkers. Almost 80% of New York City’s greenhouse-gas emissions come from buildings, and 40% of those are caused, by housing. . So he recently announced that the city’s Department of Housing and Preservation and Development (DHPD) , whose duty is to develop and keep the city’s supply of affordable housing, will require all its new projects to follow ECP’s green standards.
Similar measures have been taken by other cities such as Cleveland and Denver, but New York’s DHPD is the largest city developer of affordable housing in the country.
1.What is the purpose of describing the boiler room in the first paragraph? 
A.To explain the measures the city takes to care for poor people.
B.To suggest that affordable housing is possible in all areas.
C.To show how the environment-friendly building works.
D.To compare old and new boiler rooms.
2.What is an advantage of the buildings meeting the Green Communities Standards?
A.Lower running costs.
B.Costing less in construction.
C.Less air to be lost in hot days.
D.Better prices for homeless people.
3.It can be learned from the text that
A.New York City is seriously polluted
B.people’s daily life causes many carbon emissions in New York City
C.a great number of people in New York City don't have houses to live in
D.some other cities have developed more affordable housing than New York City
4.What is the main purpose of this text?
A.To call on people to pay more attention to housing problems.
B.To prove that some standards are needed for affordable housing.
C.To ask society to help homeless people and low-income families.
D.To introduce healthy, environmentally clever-and affordable housing.

Though giant pandas may appear perfectly happy chewing bamboos, scientists recently discovered that they would rather have something sweeter. Scientists chose because the animals are herbivores (食草动物), which would mean that they would love sweets. However, the plant they choose, the bamboos, has a very sugar content and is therefore not considered sweet. Could this mean that pandas have their hobby for sweet things?
The pandas were given six kinds of sweet liquids that are found in fruits and vegetables. They were also given at the same time. In each of the taste tests, the animals the natural sweeter liquids and ignored the water . They ate up all the sweet liquids and the water was left untouched.
What was even more interesting is that when the scientists the water with five different man-made sweeteners, ones that humans find delicious, the pandas were not as . In these tests, they picked the water instead. The scientists believe that it could be either because pandas found them to be too or not sweet enough and that the mixture could not the pandas.
The scientists were not too by the results, since pandas in zoos have always shown a preference for treats like apples, sweet potatoes and even mooncakes.
