The large university provides a wide range of specialized departments, as well numerous courses within such departments. The small college, therefore, generally provides a limited number of courses and specializations but offer a better student-faculty ratio, thus permit inpidualized attention to student. Because of its large student body (often exceeding 20,000) consisting in many people from different countries the university exposes its students to many different culture, social and out-of-class programmes. On the other hand, the smaller, more homogeneous(同性质的) student body of the big college

affords greater opportunities in such activities. Finally, the university closely approximates the real world and which provides a relaxed, impersonal, and sometimes anonymous (隐姓埋名的) existence, on the contrast, the intimate

atmosphere of the small college allows the student four years of structural living in which to expect and preparing for the real world. In making his choice among educational institutions the student must, there fore, consider a great many factors. 71.

spots like present-day Somalia, and occasional years of good harvests, the world's food crisis has remained just around the corner. Most experts believe this can continue even as if the population doubles by the mid-21st century, although feeding I0 billion people will not be easy for politics, economic and environmental reasons. Optimists point to concrete examples of continued improvements in yield. In Africa, by instance, improved seed, more fertilizer and advanced growing practices have more than double corn and wheat yields in an experiment. Elsewhere, rice experts in the Philippines are producing a plant with few stems and more seeds. There is no guarantee that plant breeders can continue to develop new, higher-yielding

crop, but most researchers see their success to date as reason for hope.
