But while K12 education saw a fall from 25% in 1980 to only 18% of spending in 2000, higher education remained the largest proportion, reaching 45% of total spending in 1990 and ending at 40% in 2000.Expenditure on health and human resources had increased to 20% by 1990 before decreasing to only 10% by the end of the period. In contrast, the share of transportation saw an opposite trend. This cost decreased to only 6% of total expenditure in 1990 but rose dramatically in 2000 when it represented 22% of the total budget. Similarly, the cost of environmental services saw a rising trend, growing from only 4% to 9% by 2000.Overall, higher education constituted the largest cost to local authorities, and while spending increased for transportation and environmental services, there were corresponding drops in expenditure on health and human resources and K12 education.(178 words)1. 若不給自己設(shè)限,則人生中就沒有限制你發(fā)揮的藩籬。2. 若不是心寬似海,哪有人生風(fēng)平浪靜。在紛雜的塵世里,為自己留下一片純靜的心靈空間,不管是潮起潮落,也不管是陰晴圓缺,你都可以免去浮躁,義無反顧,勇往直前,輕松自如地走好人生路上的每一步3. 花一些時(shí)間,總會看清一些事。用一些事情,總會看清一些人。有時(shí)候覺得自己像個神經(jīng)病。既糾結(jié)了自己,又打擾了別人。努力過后,才知道許多事情,堅(jiān)持堅(jiān)持,就過來了。4. 歲月是無情的,假如你丟給它的是一片空白,它還給你的也是一片空白。歲月是有情的,假如你奉獻(xiàn)給她的是一些色彩,它奉獻(xiàn)給你的也是一些色彩。你必須努力,當(dāng)有一天驀然回首時(shí),你的回憶里才會多一些色彩斑斕,少一些蒼白無力。只有你自己才能把歲月描畫成一幅難以忘懷的人生畫卷。學(xué)習(xí)參
