More students are applying for aid, and more families expect to need student loans. College administrators are con

4、cerned that they will not have enough aid money to go around.At the same time, tuition(学费)continues to rise. A report from the National Center for Public Policy and Higher Education found that college tuition and fees increased 439% from 1982 to 2007, while average family income rose just 147%. Stud

5、ent borrowing has more than doubled in the last decade.“If we go on this way for another 25 years, we wont have an affordable system of higher education,” says Patrick M. Callan, president of the center. “The middle class families have been financing it through debt. They will send kids to college w

6、hatever it takes, even if that means a huge amount of debt.”Financial aid administrators have been having a hard time as many companies decide that student loans are not profitable enough and have stopped making them. The good news, however, is that federal loans account for about three quarters of

7、student borrowing, and the government says that money will flow uninterrupted. 【语篇解读】本文介绍了今年学生贷款增多给家庭带来的压力和大学学费的不断增加的社会问题,提出政府对之做出的回应。1.

There are charges for prescription and dental care but many people, such as children, pregnant wom

16、en, pensioners, and those on Income Support, are exempt from payment.Most people are registered with a local doctor (a GP, or General Practitioner) who is increasingly likely to be part of a health centre which serves the community.

17、reats more patients than before, although patients spend less time in hospital.
