11. Do you agree or disagree with the followingstatement? Universities should give the same amount of money to their students'sports activities as they give to their university libraries. Use specificreasons and examples to support your opinion.
参考分析：
不能完全同意。"same"是一件做不到的事情。
普通大学，应该或更多的钱在图书馆上
体育专科大学，当然应该花更多的钱在体育设施上
资金分配的重要原则：产出应该大于投入
大学的办学原则：要better brains；也要better bodies.

Some relevant issues about public investments: 1) investment vs. profit; 2) immediate needs vs. long-term benefits; 3) profit-making organization vs. nonprofit-making organization. Topics about money allocation: 11. 19. 56. 95. 100. 167*) personal attitudes of money: 32. 33. 48. 53. 131. 173. 177. 185.]
资金分配问题：资金的有效运用(efficiency of money allocation)的重要体现是投入产出比(input-output ratio)。即便是nonprofit-making organization也要保证资金的投入产出的平衡(balance of input and output)。

Topic 11 Sports or library?
I disagree strongly with theidea that the same amount of money should go to university sports activities asto university libraries. Although playing sports is a wonderful way to learnabout teamwork, strategy and reaching your goals, it should not be theprincipal focus of a university education.（作者上来就表达了自己鲜明的观点，尽管有些人认为投入运动的钱应该与投入教育的钱相等，尽管运动能让人学会团队合作，策略和毅力完成目标，但是还是不如大学教育更重要。）
Students need the mostup-to-date（这个词我们前几天在每日words里学过，是最新的，最前沿的意思）library facilities（设施）available to get the besteducation. Many of those facilities are very expensive to buy and maintain.These include computerized programs and access to Internet research databasesthat students can use to find information all around the world. If a universityis only offering its students resources of a decade ago, it's depriving（使丧失）those students of a tremendous（大量的）amount of information.
Even the book and magazinebudget of universities has gone up tremendously in the last decade. More isbeing published on every subject, and every university wants to have thisinformation available to its students.
It also costs money foruniversities to keep their libraries open. Students need to have access to allthe libraries research tools as much of the time as possible. Because studentsare young and can stay up all night studying, many universities are starting toleave their libraries open all night during exam periods. This costs money,because the staff has to be paid extra to be there. It also costs money to runthe building (electricity, heat) during that time.
Students at universities areonly going to benefit from their education if they can get to all the toolsthey need to learn. Sports are secondary to the resources that students needfrom university libraries. For this reason, libraries should always be betterfunded than sports activities.（作者通过讲述图书馆的投入重要性，包括它的信息时效性，资源需求，信息及馆内维护都需要资金，以此来表达图书馆更需要被投入） |
