Hamilton isn't the only educator crossing the Atlantic. School in France, Egypt, Singapore, etc. have also recently made top-level hires from abroad. Higher education has become a big and competitive business nowadays, and like so many business, it's gone global. Yet the talent flow isn't universal. High-level personnel tend to head in only one direction: outward from America.
The chief reason is that American schools don't tend to seriously consider looking abroad. For example, when the board of the University of Colorado searched for a new president, it wanted a leader familiar with the state government, a major source of the university's budget, "We didn't do any global consideration", says Patricia Hayes, the board's chair. The board ultimately picked Bruce Benson, a 69-year-old Colorado businessman and political activist(活动家) who is likely to do well in the main task of modern university presidents: fund raising. Fund raising is a distinctively American thing, since U.S. schools rely heavily on donations. The fund-raising ability is largely a product of experience and necessity.
Many European universities, meanwhile, are still mostly dependent on government funding. But government support has failed to keep pace with rising student numbers. The decline in government support has made fund-raising an increasingly necessary ability among administrators, and has hiring committees hungry for Americans.
In the past few years, prominent schools around the world have joined the trend. In 2003, when Cambridge University appointed Alison Richard, another former Yale provost, as its vice-chancellor, the university publicly stressed that in her previous job she had overseen(监督) "a major strengthening of Yale's financial position".
Of course, fund-raising isn't the only skill outsiders offer. The globalization of education means more universities will be seeking heads with international experience of some kind to promote international programs and attract a global student body. Foreigners can offer a fresh perspective on established practices.
What is the current trend in higher education discussed in the passage?
A.Institutions worldwide are hiring administrators from the U.S.
B.A lot of political activists are being recruited as administrators.
C.American universities are enrolling more international students.
D.University presidents are paying more attention to fund-raising.

Thirty years ago, most teenagers had bicycles, but now they are comparatively rare. (56) , motor scooters (小型摩托车) are much more common, (57) , this may seem a sign of progress but (58) the change is not necessarily for the better.
It is easy to see why young people prefer scooters. (59) , they are much faster and do not require much physical effort; (60) , you can take a passenger with you on the pillion
(后座) seat behind; (61) , they give young people a feeling of independence, because they can travel further and impress their friends. (62) , the disadvantages are equally obvious, (63) first sight, scooters are more expensive to buy and to maintain, and (64) . Those under 16 are not allowed to have them. (65) , greater freedom brings danger because speed encourages young people to take risks and as a result scooters are involved (66) more accidents, and the accidents are (67) more serious.
Bicycles are safer and easier to control. Years ago, teenagers had more experience with them because they (68) to ride as young children, and consequently knew what they were capable of. (69) , many young people overestimate what a scooter can do and pretend it has the power of a motor—cycle. (70) , the fact is that bicycles are not very safe , (71) ,in cities these days because there are more cars and drivers are not used to them and do not make allowances for them.
(72) , those who are old enough to ride scooters naturally prefer them. Those who are too young or cannot afford to buy a scooter probably find bicycles slow and uncomfortable (73) , and riding bicycles requires (74) experience of traffic than before. On balance, the change has been for the worse, (75) for the 13—and 14—year—olds, but the only safe solution would be to have special lanes (车道) for cyclists.
