industry(altogether(Because banks currently have a lack of credit(存款额)，they are reluctant to offer students low-interest loans(贷款)that need a several-year wait for any return of interest( In the US，many undergraduates top up their financial needs with a private loan，although the majority can get government-funded loans(In the 2005-2006 academic year，$17 billion in private student loans was used to finance higher education(The short-fall in private-funding has yet to be covered and will hit many US students hard( Across the Atlantic，UK students have been less troubled by the crisis(Most undergraduates in the UK cover their university expenses with government-funded loans and grants(助学 金)(Their biggest concern is a sudden steep increase in student rent( Most young professionals now rent houses(since 80 percent of UK mortgage schemes(住房 抵押贷款)have disappeared--a direct result of the credit crisis(This has boosted the house rent market( In large cities(UK students are paying almost 6.5 percent more in rent than the previous year(Figures from the UK organization Accommodation for Student show students in big cities such as London paying an average weekly rent of ,103( Yet，despite

job markets B The past ages of man have all been carefully labeled by anthropologists(人类学 家)(Descriptions like “Paleolithic Man”，“Neolithic Man”，etc(，neatly sum up whole periods(When the time comes for anthropologists to turn their attention to the twentieth century， they will surely choose the label “Legless Man”(Histories of the time will go something like this: “in the twentieth century，people forgot how to use their legs(Men and women moved about in cars，buses and trains from a very early age(There were lifts in all large buildings to prevent people from walking(And the surprising thing is that they didn’t us6 their legs even when they went on holiday(” The future history books might also record that we were deprived(剥夺)of the use of our eyes(In our hurry to get from

remotest，and someone is bound to say “I’ve been (“I drove through it at 100 miles an hour on the way to somewhere else(” there”---meaning When you travel at high speeds，the present means nothing:you live mainly in the future because you spend most of your time looking forward to arriving at some other place(But actual arrival，when it is achieved，is meaningless(You want to move on again(By traveling like this， you suspend all experience(The traveler on foot，on the other hand，lives constantly in the present(For him traveling and arriving are one and the same thing:he arrives somewhere
