9、ernet. The Nets ability to profile you through your visits to and interactions at websites provides marketers with an enormous amount of data on yousome of which you may not want them to have.Almost every time you access a website you get a cookie.

17、s not all deserve to be saved. There are low-quality schools just as there are low-quality business. We have no obligation to save them simply because they exist.But many thriving institutions that deserve to continue are threatened. They are doing a fine job educationally, but they are caught in a
18、financial squeeze, with no way to reduce rising costs or increase revenues（收入）significantly. Raising tuition doesnt bring in more revenue, for each time tuition goes up, the enrollment（入学人数） goes down, or the amount that must be given away in student aid goes up. Schools are bad businesses, whether
19、public or private, not usually because of mismanagement but because of the nature of the enterprise.
