8 年以来，密歇根大学所需的学费贷款一直来自联邦政府。但是去年春天，该大学决定停止办理这种贷款，而改为与一些私有贷款方和机构合作，由他们另行提供贷款。密歇根大学这样做，可以保证自己获益，而联邦政府却做不到这一点。对于密歇根来说，这当然是件好事。可是联邦纳税人可没这么幸运了。他们不得不因此每年多支付2350 万美元。实际上，密歇根并非唯一实施这种贷款政策的州。现在，几十所大学放弃了与教育部的直接贷款计划。之所以这样做，是因为他们看中了银行、州立贷款机构以及美国学生贷款市场营销学会（Sallie   Mae）所许诺的迅速回报。美国学生贷款市场营销学会是其中的重要代表其总部位于弗吉尼亚州莱斯顿（Reston ），是一家庞大的私有贷款机构。自2000 年起，已有62 所大学放弃了与教育部的直接贷款计划。现在仍有越来越多的大学逐渐加入其中。目前，美国学生贷款市场营销学会已经从联邦政府手中赢得了总额达10 亿美元以上的贷款业务。

Chinese nation has always cherished peace. China’s rise, an achievement we accomplished by our own efforts, symbolizes that peace has risen to the dominating position. In getting along with   the   foreign   countries,   we   consistently   adopted   the   policy  of   making   partnership   and  being friendly to the neighboring countries with an aim to seek a friendly cooperation with them.

China   is   and   will   continue,   in   a   quite   long   time,   to   be   a   developing   country.   China   has   a population of 1.3 billion, which is the most prominent part in our national conditions. It is then no doubt that China ranks 138th per capita while its GDP totals 6th globally. We are now still facing such serious problems as unemployment, poverty, and unbalanced regional development. To catch up with the developed countries, several, even dozens of generation’s efforts are still expected.
