8、ime. Would you like to join her for dinner again? Then you find out that your burger has been cooked and your drink is on the table. Forget the fact that you are with another date and are on a diet that doesnt include burgers. Sound a little bizarre? To some, this is restaurant equivalent of the Int

9、ernet. The Nets ability to profile you through your visits to and interactions at websites provides marketers with an enormous amount of data on yousome of which you may not want them to have.Almost every time you access a website you get a cookie. A cookie on the Internet is a computer code sent by

10、 the site to your computerusually without your knowledge. During the entire period of time that you are at the site, the cookie is collecting information about your interaction, including where you visit, how long you stay there, how frequently you return to certain pages, and even your electronic a

11、ddress. Fill out a survey to collect free information or samples, and marketers know even more about youlike your name, address, and any other information you provide. While this may sound scary enough, cookies arent even the latest in technology. A new system called I-librarian Alexanamed for the l

12、egendary third century B.C. library in Alexandria, Egyptdoes even more. While cookies track what you are doing at one site, Alexa collects data on all your Web activity, such as which sites you visit next, how long you stay there, whether you click on ads，etc. All this information is available to ma

13、rketers, who use it to market more effectively to you.

17、s not all deserve to be saved. There are low-quality schools just as there are low-quality business. We have no obligation to save them simply because they exist.But many thriving institutions that deserve to continue are threatened. They are doing a fine job educationally, but they are caught in a

18、financial squeeze, with no way to reduce rising costs or increase revenues（收入）significantly. Raising tuition doesnt bring in more revenue, for each time tuition goes up, the enrollment（入学人数） goes down, or the amount that must be given away in student aid goes up. Schools are bad businesses, whether

19、public or private, not usually because of mismanagement but because of the nature of the enterprise. They lose money on every customer, and they can go bankrupt（破产） either from too few students or too many students. Even a very good college is a very bad business.It is such colleges, thriving but th

20、reatened, I worry about. Low enrollment is not their chief problem. Even with full enrollments, they may go under. Efforts to save them, and preferably to keep them private, are a national necessity. There is no basis for arguing that private schools are inherently (固有地)better than public schools. E

21、xamples to the contrary abound. Anyone can name state universities and colleges that rank as the finest in the nation and the world.

25、chools?A. Raising tuition.B. Full enrollment.C. National awareness and support.D. Reduction of rising costs.DIt was 3:21 a.m. when nine-year-old Glenn Kreamer awoke to the smell of burning.
