However, the bad news is that humans seem hard-wired (天生的) to be lazy in order to save energy, according to Professor Christopher Hsee,
22、 a behavioral scientist at Chicago University. In a study 98 students were asked to complete two surveys. After they had completed the first they were made to wait 15 minutes to receive the next one. They were given a choice of either handing in the first 2 nearby or at a more distant location they

27、00the amount of one year“s tuition and fees. A number of innovative colleges are making the same offer to students anxious about saving time and money. That“s both an opportunity and a warning for the best higher-education system in the world. BThe United States has almost all of the world“s best un
28、iversities. A recent Chinese survey ranks 35 American universities among the top 50, eight among the top 10. Our research universities have been the key to developing the competitive advantages that help Americans produce 25% of all the world“s wealth. In 2007, 623,805 of the world“s brightest stude
29、nts were attracted to American universities. CYet, there are signs of peril (危险) within American higher education. U.S. colleges have to compete in the marketplace. Students may choose among 6,000 public, private, nonprofit, for-profit, or religious institutions of higher learning. In addition, almo
30、st all of the $32 billion the federal government provides for university research is awarded competitively. DBut many colleges and universities are stuck in the past. For instance, the idea of the fall-to-spring “school year“ hasn“t changed much since before the American Revolution, when we were a n
31、ation of farmers and students put their books away to work the soil during the summer. That long summer stretch no longer makes sense. Former George Washington University president Stephen Trachtenberg estimates that a typical college uses its facilities for academic purposes a little more than half
32、 the calendar year. “While college facilities sit idle, they continue to generate maintenance expenses that contribute to the high cost of running a college,“ he has written. EWithin academic departments, tenure (终身职位), combined with age-discrimination laws, makes faculty turnovercritical for a univ
33、ersity to remain current in changing timesdifficult. Instead of protecting speech and encouraging diversity and innovative thinking, the tenure system often stifles (压制) them: younger professors must win the approval of established colleagues for tenure, encouraging likemindedness and sometimes inhi
34、biting the free flow of ideas. FMeanwhile, tuition has soared, leaving graduating students with unprecedented loan debt. Strong campus presidents to manage these problems are becoming harder to find, and to keep. In fact, students now stay on campus almost as long as their presidents. The average am
35、ount of time students now take to complete an undergraduate degree has stretched to six years and seven months as students interrupted by work, inconvenienced by unavailable classes, or lured by one more football season find it hard to graduate. Congress has tried to help students with college costs
36、 through Pell Grants and other forms of tuition support. But some of their fixes have made the problem worse. The stack of congressional regulations governing federal student grants and loans now stands twice as tall as I do. Filling out these forms consumes 7% of every tuition dollar. GFor all of t
37、hese reasons, some colleges like Hartwick are rethinking the old way of doing things and questioning decades-old assumptions about what a college degree means. For instance, why does it have to take four years to earn a diploma? This fall, 16 first-year students and four second-year students at Hart
38、wick enrolled in the school“s new three-year degree program. According to the college, the plan is designed for high-ability, highly motivated students who wish to save money or to move along more rapidly toward advanced degrees. HBy eliminating that extra year, three-year degree students save 25% i
39、n costs. Instead of taking 30 credits a year, these students take 40. During January, Hartwick runs a four-week course during which students may earn three to four credits on or off campus, including a number of international sites. Summer courses are not required, but a student may enroll in theman
40、d pay extra. Three-year students get first crack at course registration. There are no changes in the number of courses professors teach or in their pay. IThe three-year degree isn“t a new idea. Geniuses have always breezed through. Judson College, a 350-student institution in Alabama, has offered st
41、udents a three-year option for 40 years. Students attend “short terms“ in May and June to earn the credits required for graduation. Bates College in Maine and Ball State University in Indiana are among other colleges offering three-year options. JChanges at the high-school level are also helping to
42、make it easier for many students to earn their undergraduate degrees in less time. One of five students arrives at college today with Advanced Placement (AP) credits amounting to a semester or more of college-level work. Many universities, including large schools like the University of Texas, make i
43、t easy for these AP students to graduate faster. KFor students who don“t plan to stop with an undergraduate degree, the three-year plan may have an even greater appeal. Dr. John Sergent, head of Vanderbilt University Medical School“s residency (住院医生) program, enrolled in Vanderbilt“s undergraduate c
44、ollege in 1959. He entered medical school after only three years as did four or five of his classmates. “My first year of medical school counted as my senior year, which meant I had to take three to four labs a week to get all my sciences in. I basically skipped my senior year,“ says Sergent. He sti
45、ll had time to be a student senator and meet his wife. LThere are, however, drawbacks to moving through school at such a brisk pace. For one, it deprives students of the luxury of time to roam (遨游) intellectually. Compressing everything into three years also leaves less time for growing up, engaging
46、 in extracurricular activities, and studying abroad. On crowded campuses it could mean fewer opportunities to get into a prized professor“s class. Iowa“s Waldorf College has graduated several hundred students in its three-year degree programs, but is now phasing out the option. Most Waldorf students
47、 wanted the full four-year experienceacademically, socially, and athletically. And faculty members will be wary of any change that threatens the core curriculum in the name of moving students into the workforce. M“Most high governmental officials seem to conceive of education in this lightas a way t
48、o ensure economic competitiveness and continued economic growth,“ Derek Bok, former president of Harvard, told The Washington Post. “I strongly disagree with this approach.“ Another risk: the new campus schedules might eventually produce less revenue for the institution and longer working hours for faculty members. NAdopting a three-year option will not come easily to most schools. Those that wish to tackle tradition and make American campuses more cost-conscious may find it easier to take Trachtenberg“s advice: open campuses year-round. “You could nm two complete colleges, with two
