Here is one example of the problem. At one time there were 1,300 different plants, trees and flowers in Holland, but now only 866 remain. The others have been destroyed by modern man. It is said that there are tens of thousands of kinds of animals in the world, but now many have died out（绝种）. We are changing the earth, the air and water, and everything that grows and lives. We can't live without these things. If we continue like this, we shall destroy ourselves.

A lot of them know that conservation is necessary. Many are helping to save our world. They plant trees, build bridges across rivers and so on.

A senior at Blacksburg High School has won a $ 40,000 college scholarship for her
original research on cancer and the immune system. Nisha Nagarkatti, 17, was one of three
top winners at the 1999 Intel International Science and Engineering Fair.
Nisha's interest in science goes way back to when she was a little kid hanging around
the laboratories at Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University, where both her parents
are professors. As she got older, Nisha began getting involved in research.
The biological experiments that won Nisha the Intel prize involved proteins that occur
on certain cells in the human body. One protein, called fas ligand, occurs on tumor
cells.
Nisha examined those cells in the thymus, a gland beneath the human breastbone that
produces hormones and infection-fighting ceils. She discovered that when the two proteins
interact, something called apoptosis happens in the immune cells. Apoptosis is a process in
which a cell's DNA breaks apart and the cells die.
Nisha also experimented with chemicals called apoptosis inhibitors. What she did was
put tumor cells and immune ceils together and then administer apoptosis inhibitors. Her
finding: Far fewer of the immune cells died.
Choose the best answer.

Directions: Read the following passage and choose the most suitable heading from A--E
for each paragraph.
A. Astonishing tuition increases in some universities
B. A raise in U. S. university tuition
C. Reasons for state not to fund higher education
D. Result of cuts in state funding
E. An escape hatch for lawmakers
Public university students nationwide are likely to have larger classes, longer lines and fewer course selection when they return to campus in a few weeks. And they'll be paying more for it. In all but a handful of states, tuition is going up at four-year public universities, which educate 40% -- the largest share -- of the
nation's 15 million college students.
Blame it on cuts in state funding, which have forced public institutions in many states to begin the new academic year with less money than they had last year, forget noble ideas about enhancing quality; many university leaders say they are just trying to get by as best they can.
Most institutions have held tuition and fee increases to single digits（个位数）, but some increases are astonishing. University of Kansas students in Lawrence are getting hit with a 21% increase. The price tag for freshmen at Texas A&M University is up 260%. Students
at the University of South Carolina in Columbia will pay 17% more than last year.
That state funding for higher education gets reduced when times are tough comes as no surprise to those educators who have been through reductions before. That's because states, which are required to balance their budgets each year, are not legally obliged to fund higher education. And, unlike Medicaid and elementary and secondary education, which compete with universities for funding, higher education has a convenient alternative source of income, students and their families.
" As much as lawmakers don't like raising tuition, they know it's their escape hatch(摆脱困境的出路) ," says Travis Reindl, a policy analyst at the American. Association of state Colleges and Universities in Washington, D. C.
