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.This year a foreign undergraduate student in the University of Oregon should pay (). A. an additional 8,000 for the tuition B. as much as the state residents C. less than a state resident if they can get financial aid D. 14,000 more than state residents

Which of the following best describes the author’s view about the food we eat?A．Unclear.B．Indifferent.C．Optimistic.D．Concerned.Questions 16 to 20 are based on the following passage：Passage Two：It is becoming more and more difficult to be sure that the food we eat is not actually harming us. We seem to get one food scare after another.Several of these, recently, have concerned genetically modified （GM，转基因） foods. Although some experts tell us that these foods will do us no harm and that the concern about them is just speculative, other experts say that GM food is potentially very damaging to health.At the very best, the jury is still out on the matter.In many countries, products which have been genetically modified are supposed to show this information on their labels, but now some of the large food producers are saying that it is growing increasingly difficult to separate GM food from the conventional varieties.Pesticides （杀虫剂） and chemical fertilizers are also a cause of concern. In the last few years, a great many people have started to buy organic produce, although this is much more expensive than that which is grown using conventional methods. They do so in an effort to stop filling their bodies, and those of their children, with poisonous chemicals.Thus there is an increased demand for organic food and this is not a temporary fashion. But some experts claim that organically grown food is no healthier than other food, because the poison level of the latter is not so high as to be harmful. Those who push for organic food may not be objective, but are part of the powerful food lobby, the chief concern of which is to increase organic food production with a corresponding increase in profits.The use of additives （添加剂） is still another source of anxiety to consumers. These are often added to food to supposedly improve the colour or the flavour. However, it is thought that some of these may be the cause of allergies （过敏）, or even the cause of behavioural problems in children.We have to eat to live. The problem is: what is safe to eat?

When important events are happening around the world, most people turn to traditional media sources, such as CNN and BBC, for their news. However, now people can write diaries and post them on a web site, known as a “blog.” Blogs, short for “web-logs,” are online diaries, usually kept by individuals, but sometimes by companies and other groups of people. They are the fastest growing type of web site on the Internet.A blog differs from a traditional web site in several ways. Most importantly, it is updated much more regularly. Many blogs are updated every day, and some are updated several times a day. Also, most blogs use special software or web sites which are specifically aimed at bloggers, so you don’t need to be a computer expert to create your own blog. This means that ordinary people who may find computers difficult to use can easily set up and start writing their own blog.There are many different kinds of blogs. The most popular type is an online diary of links, where the blog writer surfs the Internet and then posts links to sites or new articles that they find interesting, with a few comments about each one. Other types are personal diaries, where the writers talk about their life and feelings. Sometimes these blogs can be very personal.There is another kind of blogging, called “moblogging,” short for “mobile blogging.” Mobloggers use mobile phones with cameras to take photos, which are posted instantly to the Internet. The use of mobile phones in this way made the headlines in Singapore when a high school student posted on the Internet a movie he had taken of a teacher shouting at another student and tearing up the student’s homework. Many people were shocked by the student posting a video of the incident on the Internet.As blogs become more common, news reporting will rely less on big media companies and more on ordinary people posting news to the Internet. Possibly, the news will be less like a lecture and more like a conversation, where anyone can join in.1.
