Thousands of people living in the Chine capital will celebrate the start of the Chine New year by heading for the ski resorts (滑雪场). Never mind that Beijing's dry weather l
dom produces snow. It is cold enough in winter for snow-making machines to make a covering for the hills north to the capital. And the rapid growth of a pleasure-eking middle class has formed the basis for this new craze(热潮）.
Since Beijing's first ski resort was opened ten years ago, the sport has enjoyed astonishing increa. There are now more than a dozen resorts.

The Cost of Higher Education
什么遍野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 non-graduates. 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 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 who teachers lived off student fees. He knew and looked down upon 18th-century 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 there teachers have to keep them satisfied. If that means taking teaching riously, and giving less time to their own rearch interests, that is surely something to celebrate.
Many people believe that higher education should be free becau it is good for the economy (经济). Many graduates clearly do contribute to national wealth, but so do all the business that invest (投资) and create jobs. If you believe that the government should pay for higher education becau 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.
