Fill in each blank with the word or phrases that best fits the context.German universities, known for their excellence throughout the world in the early part of the 20th century, are in a state of decline, according to Michael Burda, an American economics professor at Berlins Humholdt University.Burda claims that Germanys 300 schools of 50 learning are being hurt by “a long-time shortage of general 51 .“No statistic(统计数字) makes this more evident than a low proportion of young Germans actually 52 university-level degrees,” he says.Only 22 per cent of German students aged 24-34 53 plete their university studies. Thats pared to 31 percent in the UK, and 39 percent in the US, 54 the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD).One reason for the decline is that Germany spends barely 1.1 per cent of its gross 55 product (GDP) on higher education, pared to 2.6 percent in the US.“ A central reason why so few Germans 56 university degrees here is the deterioration (下降/退化) in the 57 of education. This certainly es from the rise in the number of students per teacher. Those who have the will and the means often study 58 ,” he said.Since the 1960s, more than 90 percent of German higher education has been publicly supported. Famous universities are still public institutions, 59 by federal and regional governments.Private funding of universities is 60 in Germany. This es from the countrys lack of a donating tradition and rules limiting the amounts of tax-free donations.But now there signs that 61 may be changing.Professor Dieter Lenzen, president of Berlins Free University, agrees that 62 money has to be spent on higher education. But he disputes Burdas claim that German universities are in 63 .“A decade ago that may have been the 64 , but that was a result of the unsteady situation at the time of reunification. Now, things have changed for the better,” Lenzen said.50. A. selfB. highC. higherD. language51. A. loanB. fundingC. aidD. finance52. A. pletingB. rewardingC. demanding ofD. applying for53.

It is widely recognized that cash donations are the most efficient and effective means of response, a policy supported by CIDIs funding partner, the United states Agency for international Developments Office of Foreign Disaster Assistance, and those in the established international disaster response munity.“Weve all seen the heartbreaking images of past international disasters, where massive amounts of clothing and canned goods collected in piles, left virtually untouched,” says Suzanne H. Brooks, Director of CIDI. “CIDIs mission is to reduce the amount of inappropriate material donations sent to victims and to facilitate efforts by professional humanitarian relief agencies. The best way for Americans to help is to donate cash to an established relief agency so that they can provide the quickest onsite assistance.”On Tuesdays, an 8.0 magnitude earthquake rocked the South pacific, causing a series of tsunamis that flooded parts of Samoa and Tonga. Entire villages were washed away. In Indonesia- in the same region destroyed by a tsunami in xxa 7.6 magnitude earthquake is reported to have leveled entire buildings, burying what may be thousands of residents in ruins. And across Vietnam, the Philippines and Cambodia, a deadly typhoon has resulted in flood and destruction. While reports are still being confirmed, the death tolls are expected to be high, the damage is expected to be extensive, and millions of people will be depending on the global munity for support.International relief efforts work best when the right tools are employed. CIDI provides information and guidance to ensure that Americas generosity results in effective relief. Individuals and organizations interested in making contributions can help the victims of the tsunami and earthquakes. Additionally, donors can visit globalgiving.org.CIDI is based in Washington, DC and was created in 1988. The center is funded by the United States Agency for International Developments Office of Foreign Disaster Assistance. CIDI provides individuals, groups, embassies and corporations with information and guidance in support of appropriate international disaster relief efforts. By reaching out to the American public and the private sector, CIDI helps to promote activities and donations that will do the most good for disaster victims around the world.

The Act called for breaking up tribal reservations (部落居留地) and turning them into family-sized farms. Each farm would be given to an individual Native American.The government thought that Native Americans would be better off if they forgot their tribal organizations and their tribal languages. The government expected Native Americans who owned land and farmed for a living to bee more like other Americans. But it didnt work out that way. The Native Americans were used to living in tribal groups and sharing with each other. They had always thought of land as something that belonged to the whole tribe, rather than to individuals.With their families scattered on separate farms, many Native Americans were dissatisfied. The land they were given was often poor, and they hadnt the skill to farm it well. Poverty and poor health increased, while the Native American stuck to their old languages and customs. Eventually the government realized that the division of reservation land had made things worse rather than better for Native Americans.The Indian Reorganization Act, passed in 1943, reversed the governments policy. This Act said that all Native American land should be owned by tribes, rather than by individuals. The new Act encouraged tribal organizations to take responsibility for running tribal affairs. The Act also provided money, which tribes could borrow to buy more land or to start business.Economic conditions have improved for Native Americans. Many tribes run successful manuf
