21、 A common assumption about the private sector of education is that it caters only to the elite.【C1】_, recent research points in the opposite direction.

25、r than government【C16】_the resources available? As it happens, the Report pointed to private schools that were serving the poor and【C17】_that such problems were not found in these schools. Most parents believed that private schools were successful because they were more accountable:“ the teachers ar
26、e accountable to the manager who can fire them, and,【C18】 _him or her, to the【C19】_who can withdraw their children. “ Such accountability was not present in the government schools, and “this contrast is【C20】_with crystal clarity by vast majority of parents“.32 【C1 】（A）In addition（B） On the contrary（

44、l illness on campus. More than 1,100 college students commit suicide each year, according to estimates by mental-health groups. And even when students arent in acute distress, theyre suffering in surprisingly large numbers. In a 2003 survey by the American College Health Association, more than 40 pe
45、rcent of students reported feeling “so depressed that it was difficult to function“ at least once during the year. Thirty percent identified themselves as suffering from an anxiety disorder or depression.While there is debate over why the numbers seem to be rising, theres also concern that colleges
46、arent dealing with the problem adequately. In January 2004 the Crimson, Harvards student newspaper, published a widely discussed five-part series which concluded that “an overwhelming majority“ of Harvard undergraduates experience mental-health problems, and that the universitys shortcomings in help
