                                            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
nongraduates.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 of them.
    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 18thcentury 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).
Man y 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. teaching 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
