Oxford and Cambridge are universities, each having about 12,000 students out of a total of over 250,000 students at all British universities. Eton is a public school and the best known of the public schools, which, in spite of their names, are not really public at all, but independent and private secondary schools taking boys from the age of thirteen to eighteen years. The public schools in reality form a very small part of the school system of secondary education of Great Britain; only about one out of forty English boys goes to a public school, and one out of 1,500 to Eton. Apart from the so-called public schools there is complete system of state primary and secondary education, which resembles in its general form the state education in most other countries. All children must, by law, receive full-time education between the ages of five and sixteen. Any child may attend, without paying fees, a school provided by the public authorities, and the great majority attend such schools. They may continue, still without paying fees, until they are eighteen. The public schools, although unimportant numerically, have been England's most peculiar and characteristic contribution to educational methods, and they have an immense influence on the whole of English educational practice and on the English social structure.

In spite of its success, Nike relies very much on famous people's support to promote consumer sales. Over the past few years, Nike has made good use of one of the most popular names in sports history: Michael Jordan for Air Jordan basketball shoes and clothing. In the first two years on the market, Nike sold 2 million pairs of Air Jordan's; and sales from the shoes and clothing reached $100 million. Michael Jordan's fee? $2.5 million over five years, a royalty(使用费)on all items sold, and a number of other benefits. Nike's promotion efforts for Air Jordan have been impressive. It decided to hire Michael Jordan after he starred for the gold-medal winning in 1984 U. S. Olympic basketball team. He has since become an exciting popular player in the National Basketball Association. The name Air Jordan came from the shoe's air-sole(充气鞋底) and Michael Jordan's name. The original shoe was a high-top black and red model, designed to be both comfortable and fashionable. Magazine and television commercials, for which Nike has invested $5 million, have shown Jordan leaping and blocking shots. Enormous billboards(户外广告牌)of him in action also have appeared in major cities. McDonald's and coke(可乐)commercials displaying Jordan have enhanced his public image.
