英國學(xué)生的比例從5%右提高到20%左右。倫敦的副校長羅德尼，哈里斯說：“它將為我們帶來收入，讓我們能夠?qū)崿F(xiàn)辦學(xué)初衷。”他將于9月搬到成都，擔(dān)任該分校校長。通過將其模式擴(kuò)展到中國，威斯敏斯特公學(xué)希望減輕它在英國助長的不平等。D)在過去，教育由企業(yè)家和宗教組織提供，但從18世紀(jì)的普魯士開始，政府開始接管。近年來，在富裕國家，政府主導(dǎo)著教育，私立教育僅限于精英階層和虔誠教徒。在發(fā)展中國家，從搖搖欲墜的帝國中建立的新國家也熱衷于提供（和控制）教育，既要對(duì)國民的野心做出回應(yīng)，又要塑造下一代的意識(shí)形態(tài)。E)但現(xiàn)在私立教育正在復(fù)蘇。過去15年來，全球范圍內(nèi)私立學(xué)校的入學(xué)人數(shù)在上升，小學(xué)生占比從10%上升到17%,中學(xué)生占比從19%上升到27%。中低收入國家私立學(xué)校入學(xué)人數(shù)的增長超過富裕國家。F)四個(gè)因素推動(dòng)了這種增長。首先，人們的收入正不斷增加，尤其是富裕階層。由于出生率下降，每個(gè)孩子的可用資金增速甚至超過了收入增速。在中國，獨(dú)生子女政策意味著在許多家庭中，有六個(gè)人（四個(gè)祖父母和兩個(gè)父母）為一個(gè)孩子的教育投資做準(zhǔn)備。G)其次，由于制造業(yè)相對(duì)衰退且制造業(yè)資本密集度不斷提高，受教育程度較低者的就業(yè)機(jī)會(huì)正在不斷減少。即使在利潤頗豐的工廠工作也有學(xué)歷要求。盡管受過良好教育的人越來越多，但教育回報(bào)率仍在上升。在發(fā)展中國家，受過良好教育的人相對(duì)較少，回報(bào)率高于發(fā)達(dá)國家，這使得教育對(duì)于那里的年輕人來說更為重要。H)再次，教育產(chǎn)出也促進(jìn)了就業(yè)：受教育的孩子越多，下一批教師就越多。在女性就業(yè)機(jī)會(huì)有限的國家尤其如此，許多受過教育的女性可以轉(zhuǎn)化為工資低廉的教師儲(chǔ)備。I)最后，科技不斷要求人類掌握新技能，私立教育似乎更擅長培養(yǎng)這些技能。技術(shù)也開辟了新的市場，因?yàn)榛ヂ?lián)網(wǎng)使擁有不同的生活方式和生活在不同時(shí)代的人們都能接受教育。J)私立和公立學(xué)校的界線往往不明確，許多國家的公立學(xué)校部分是私人融資的，而私立學(xué)校由政府資助。此外，私立教育的發(fā)展規(guī)模和速度因國家而異。大體來看，國家越發(fā)達(dá)，私立教育的作用就越小。在海地，約80%的小學(xué)生正在接受私立教育；在德國，只有5%。在歐洲大陸，國家教育的質(zhì)量普遍較高，因此私立學(xué)校往往作用不大——雖然也不完全如此。比如，荷蘭宗教分裂的歷史意味著75%的學(xué)生進(jìn)入私立學(xué)校，其中絕大多數(shù)學(xué)校是由政府資助的。而在瑞典，私立學(xué)校學(xué)生占比10%。在美國和英國，公立學(xué)校的教育質(zhì)量參差不齊，因此出現(xiàn)了大批精英私立學(xué)校和越來越多私人管理但由政府資助的學(xué)校，這種學(xué)校在美國叫“特許學(xué)?！?charters)，在英國叫“學(xué)院”(academies)。在第三產(chǎn)業(yè)中，私營機(jī)構(gòu)在美國發(fā)揮著重要作用，無論是在市場頂端還是底層。而在英國，第三產(chǎn)業(yè)主要是私人融資的。K)在拉丁美洲，天主教會(huì)在學(xué)校教育中發(fā)揮著重要作用，國家提供低質(zhì)量教育，以及對(duì)高等教育的需求快速增長，這些都促使私立教育扮演著重要角色。在南亞和非洲的大部分地區(qū)，貧困、遷移和人口增長使得政府在許多城市難以提供學(xué)校教育，因此私立學(xué)校教育規(guī)模龐大，而且增長迅速。精英們已經(jīng)離開了公立系統(tǒng)，許多中產(chǎn)階級(jí)和貧窮人群都在追隨他們的腳步。L)與歐洲一樣，南亞和東亞各政府資助教育的資金龐大且有效。但與歐洲不同，它們的私立教育行業(yè)也在迅速發(fā)展。越南的公立學(xué)校體系在低收入國家中最為完善，其私立學(xué)校行業(yè)可能是世界上發(fā)展速度最快的。中國教育企業(yè)的市值比其他任何國家的同類企業(yè)都大，這表明投資者認(rèn)為這是一個(gè)千載難逢的機(jī)會(huì)。M)中國政府正在弱化私立教育在6至16歲教育中的角色，但私立教育仍有增長空間。如果孩子去私立幼兒園和私立大學(xué)，接受每天放學(xué)兩小時(shí)、周末每天八小時(shí)的家教補(bǔ)習(xí)，再參加個(gè)數(shù)學(xué)夏令營——這是中國精英的孩子上學(xué)的普遍流程——那么這個(gè)孩子在私立和公立教育中花費(fèi)的時(shí)間一樣多。N)艾意凱咨詢公司的阿斯溫，阿索米爾表示，所有這些都使得教育對(duì)投資者具有吸引力。需求增長快于收入增長，并在經(jīng)濟(jì)低迷時(shí)期保持良好勢頭。科技正在創(chuàng)造新的市場。學(xué)校教育是分散的，但是也出現(xiàn)了大型且不斷發(fā)展的連鎖學(xué)校。例如總部位于迪拜的環(huán)球教育集團(tuán)公司，擁有47所分校，且大部分位于中東地區(qū)；英國公司Cognita在8個(gè)國家擁有73所學(xué)校；一家名為BeaconhouseSchoolSystems的巴基斯坦公司在7個(gè)國家擁有200所學(xué)校。O)私立教育的主要缺點(diǎn)是缺少政治敏感性。私人教育投資使政府感到不安，因?yàn)樗顾綘I產(chǎn)品與社會(huì)公共產(chǎn)品相抗衡。政府和父母一樣，希望孩子們學(xué)習(xí)，但政府也希望使社會(huì)流動(dòng)性最大化并盡量減少不平等，而父母只想確保他們的孩子比其他人的孩子過得好。P)這些目標(biāo)不可避免地會(huì)發(fā)生沖突，因此政府監(jiān)管并限制私立教育，控制其教授的內(nèi)容，禁止謀取利潤和篩選學(xué)生，削減費(fèi)用，在總體上減少私立教育對(duì)投資者的吸引力。然而，政府也需要私立教育，因此它們與之合作，為其注入技能、創(chuàng)造力和資本，并將納稅人的錢投入其中。Questions1to5arebasedonthefollowingpassage.UsingFacebookmakespeoplesadder,atleastaccordingtosomeresearch.Butjustwhatisitaboutthesocialnetworkthattakesahitonourmood?Astudyofthedifferentwaysofinteractingwiththesitenowoffersananswer:[Grazing]
