33、ents and their parents already knew, an influential education think tank (智囊机构 ) says that states are passing along their budget woes (困难) to public university students and their families. Tuitions are rising by double digits in some states, while the amount of state-funded student aid is dropping.T
34、he result, says the National Center for Public Policy and Higher Education in San Jose, Calif., is “the worst fiscal news for public higher education institutions and their students in at least a decade.“Although incomes are rising by only 1% to 2 % in most states, tuition at four-year public school
35、s leapt by 24% in Massachusetts, 20% in Texas and 7% nationally since the 2001-2002 school year, the center says.State budget deficits (预算赤字) are the cause. Nationally, states spend about 48% of their revenue on education, or about $235 billion in 2001 for kindergarten through college, says the Nati
36、onal Governors Association. Elementary and secondary education budgets are protected in many state constitutions, which means they are generally the last expense that states will cut. But higher education is vulnerable to budget cuts- and tuition increases: After all, no one has to go to college.Col
37、leges and universities “have clients they can charge,“ says the National Centers president, Patrick M. Callan. Tuition “is the easiest money to get,“ he adds.The pressure to raise tuition is particularly intense because states froze or even cut state university tuition during the 1990s. With its eye
38、 on the knowledge-driven economic boom, the University of Virginia cut tuition by 20% in 1999. This year, although per-capita income grew by less than 1% in Virginia, the state raised tuition at its four-year colleges by 9% and cut student aid by 8%, or about $10 million.The rising cost of public ed
39、ucation, and the fear that it is financially squeezing some students out of an education, has prompted some state universities to adopt a practice long used by private schools to attract students: tuition discounting. In tuition discounting, colleges turn around a share of the tuition paid by some s
40、tudents, and use it to pay for scholarships for others. Private colleges typically return $35 to $45 in scholarships for every $100 they collect in tuition revenue. But until recently, states have viewed discounting as politically unpopular.There are a few steps students and their families can take
41、to offset rising tuitions, but not many. Because colleges are always interested in raising academic quality, talented students can pit one college against another in hopes of raising their financial-aid offer. Some colleges now invite students to call and renegotiate their aid packages if they get a
42、 better offer from another institution.51 College education becomes costlier because _.（A）the state-funded student aid is increased（B） the budgets for elementary and secondary education are increased（C） colleges can no longer depend on states for fund（D）higher education budget will get cut by states
43、 52 Why are elementary and secondary schools not likely to get their budgets cut?（A）Because they enjoy the special funds provided by states.（B） Because their budgets are rather limited.（C） Because their budgets are protected by the state constitutions.（D）Because they can charge their clients. 53 We
44、learn from Para. 8 some state universities worry that as a result of the increase in education cost, _.（A）students will turn to private schools for application（B） there will be anger among students and their parents（C） they will have to return more tuitions as scholarships to students（D）some student
45、s will lose the opportunity to receive education 54 As indicated in the passage, states cut university tuition when _.（A）the state-funded student aid was dropping（B） the economy was booming（C） per-capita income grew by less than 1%（D）private schools began to practice tuition discounting 55 According
46、 to the passage, in competing for talented students, some colleges offer to _.（A）raise financial aid（B） cut tuitions by half（C） pay full tuition（D）raise academic quality 55 When an icon (偶像) lasts for more than a century, there is a reason. But what is it about the teddy bear that makes it a lasting
47、 symbol in our society? Trends experts say that when an icon is rooted in reality, when people grow to love it, and when it represents something larger, it tends to last.Americas affair with the teddy bear began in the fall of 1902 when then-President Theodore Roosevelt went on a bear hunting trip i
48、n the South. He had no luck till the fifth day when he spotted a bear and raised his rifle to shoot-then lowered it when he saw a baby bear in the line of fire, eating honey from its paws. Roosevelt is reputed to have said, “I dont shoot baby bears.“ Another story has Roosevelt refusing to shoot a wounded bear.Washington Post cartoonist Clifford Berryman depicted the bear incidents and began using bears in many political cartoons on many subjects. Soon toy and novelty makers started creating the bears in a wide variety of styles. Quickly the Roosevelt bear and the Teddy bear became the teddy
