What are the differences between public and private in American higher education? A big difference involves money. Public colleges and universities charge for an education just like private schools. But state schools cost less because they get money from the states that started them to educate local citizens. As a result, out-of-state and international students usually pay more than state residents, at least the first year. The state with the most residents, almost forty million, is California. Its systems of two-year and four-year colleges and universities are among the largest in the world. But the example we are going to focus on today is to the north of California.in a much smaller state on the West Coast: Oregon. The University of Oregon, located in Eugene, is one of the campuses in the Oregon University System. The cost for undergraduates this year is 6,000 for state residents. Housing is an additional 8,000. Non-residents pay the same for housing--but almost 20,000 for tuition and fees. Let's see how these numbers compare to a private college in Oregon. Lewis and Clark College in Portland has 4,000 students, compared to 20,000 at the University of Oregon. Housing costs 800 more than at the state school. But the big difference is tuition. The published price at Lewis and Clark is almost 34,000. Yet Lewis and Clark is one of the few American colleges to offer financial aid for international students. Each year it awards financial aid to twenty students from other countries. And it says the average award last year was 19,000 dollars. That would make Lewis and Clark cheaper for international students than the University of Oregon. But, of course, prices alone do not say anything about the quality of a school or the value of an education.1.[单选题]One of the differences between public and private universities is___.A.private universities are usually smaller than the public onesB.attending private universities is less expensiveC.public universities equire foreign student to pay more tuitionsD.public universities provide more financial aids to foreign students2.[单选题] The costs of tuition and housing in Lewis and Clark College are___.A.both more expensive than in the University of OregonB.cheaper for foreign student than in the University of OregonC.the same as that in the University of OregonD.cheaper than those of the University of Oregon for the state residents3.[单选题]We can conclude from the passage that the cost and the quality of a university are____.A.the more the betterB.the more the worseC.not necessarily relatedD.closely related4.[单选题]This year a foreign undergraduate student in the University of Oregon should pay____.A.an additional 8,000 for the tuitionB.as much as the state residentsC.less than state resident if financial aidD.14,000 more than state residents5.[单选题] According to the passage,the Oregon University System____.A.is located in EugeneB.is part of the University of OregonC.charges more tuition this yearD.has campuses indifferent places
