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 ofthem.
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
【参考答案】65.1-3 BDA

Rae and Bruce Hostetler not only work very hard，they also relax just as
well.Numerous vacations help the couple to maintain their health and emotional wellbeingand it’s no surprise to health care professionals.
“Rest，relaxation，and stress reduction are very important for people’s wellbeing and health.This can be accomplished through daily activities，such as exercise and meditation，but vacation is an important part of this as well，” said primary care physician Natasha Withers from One Medical Group in New York.Withers lists a decreased risk of heart disease and improved reaction time as some of the benefits from taking some time off.“We also know that the mind is very powerful and can help with healing，so a rested，relaxed mind is able to help the body heal better，” said Withers.
Psychologists confirm the value of vacations for the mind.“The impact that taking a vacation has on one’s mental health is great，” said Francine Lederer，a clinical psychologist in Los Angeles who specializes in stress and relationship
management.“Most people have better life perspective and are more motivated to achieve their goals after a vacation，even if it is a 24hour timeout.” The trips could be good for their health，good for their family and good for their businesses.
The online travel agency Expedia conducted a survey about vacation time in 2010，and according to their data the average American earned 18 vacation days—but only used 14 of them.France topped the list，with the average worker earning 37 vacation days and using all but two of them.Americans’ responses may not be surprising in a culture where long hours on the job often are valued，but that’s not always good for the individual，the family or the employer.
Psychologists have also found that people who don’t take enough time to relax may find it harder to relax in the future.“Without time and opportunity to do this，the nerve connections that produce feelings of calm and peacefulness become weaker，making it actually more difficult to shift into lessstressed states，” Mulhern said.

Are you simply moving through your day without fully living? I think many of us have done this. Everyone wants to fully live every day. 1 So I’ve decided to share with you some ways to help you enjoy every moment.
Sit in the morning. When you wake up, in the quiet of the morning, sit on the floor. I often use this opportunity to stretch. I feel every muscle in my body. 2
3 I like to take breaks from work, and go outside for a slow walk. Pay attention to your breathing, to everything around you, to the sounds and light of objects.
Read in silence. Find a quiet time, and a quiet place, and read a good novel. Have no television or computers on nearby. 4 It might seem difficult to let your mind move from the present into the time of novel, but it’s a great patience in focus. Also, I love a good novel more than almost anything else.
Look at someone in a grateful way. 5 If you want, you can tell that person how thankful you are to him. A. Work with force.
B. Walk slowly.
C. But this is easier said than done.
D. And just put yourself in the world of the novel.
