We also discussed the rules for entering the United States. And we talked about programs that can be completed online.But if your goal is to come to the United States to study, then it is time to make a list of colleges or universities that interest you. Be sure to choose more than one. Directors of foreign student admissions say students should apply to at least three schools.Some students want to attend a small college. Others want to go to a big university. If a really big university appeals to you, then there are ones like Ohio State. That university in Columbus, Ohio, in the Midwest, has almost fifty-two thousand students. There are students this year from around one hundred fifty countries.Ohio State provides international students with an application on its Website. You can pay the application charge online with a credit card. Or you can print the forms and mail them with the payment.Many colleges and universities have their applications and also their catalogs online. You should start on your applications at least two years before you want to begin studies.Completing a college application can take some time. But answering all the questions is not enough. Another important step is taking admissions tests. The SAT is the college entry test that American high school students most commonly take. Colleges and universities also require international students to take the TOEFL the Test of English as a Foreign Language.If you have a general question for our Foreign Student Series, write to special voanews. com.25.

It is a great truth because once we truly understand and accept it, then life is no longer difficult. Most do not fully see this truth. Instead they complain(抱怨) about their problems and difficulties as if life should be easy. It seems to them that difficulties stand for a special kind of suffering especially forced on them or else on their families, their class, or even their nation. What makes life difficult is that the process of facing and solving problems is a painful one. Problems, depending on their nature, cause sadness, or loneliness(孤独) or regret or anger or fear. These are uncomfortable feelings, often as painful as any kind of physical pain. And since life causes a lot of problems, life is always difficult and is full of pain as well as joy. Yet, it is in this whole process of solving problems that life has its meaning. Problems are the serious test that tells us success from failure. When we want to encourage the growth of human spirit, we encourage the human ability to solve problems, just as in school we set problems for our children to solve. It is through the pain of meeting and working out problems that we learn. As Benjamin Franklin said, "Those things that hurt, instruct(指导)." It is for this reason that wise people learn not to fear but to welcome the pain of problems. 29. Which sentence best expresses the central point of the passage? A. Problems and difficulties represent a special kind of suffering. B. Life is difficult because our problems bring us pain. C. People like to complain about their problems. D. We become stronger by facing and solving problems of life.30. The writer probably used just one short sentence in the first paragraph to _. A. get readers' attention B. save space C. persuade readers D. make readers laugh 31. The main idea of paragraph 3 is that _.A. most people feel life is easy B. the writer feel life is easy C. most people complain about how hard their lives areD. the writer likes to complain about his problems 32. According to the passage, we give school children difficult problems to solve in order to _. A. teach them to fear the pain of solving the problems B. help them learn to deal with pain C. encourage them to learn D. teach them how to respect problems DMy doorbell rings. On the step, I find the elderly Chinese lady, small and slight, holding the hand of a little boy. In her other hand, she holds a paper carrier bag. I know this lady. It is not her first visit. She is the boys grandmother, and her daughter bought the house next door last October.Her daughter, Nicole, speaks fluent English. But she is now in Shanghai, and her parents are here with the little boy. Nicole has obviously told her mother that I am having heart surgery soon, so hermother has decided I need more nutrients.I know what is inside the bag a thermos with hot soup and a stainless-steel container with rice, vegetables and either chicken, meat or shrimp, sometimes with a kind of pancake. This has becomean almost-daily practice. Communication between us is somewhat affected by the fact that she doesnt speak English and allI can say in Chinese is hello. Once, she brought an iPad as well as the food. She pointed to the screen, which displayed a message from her daughter telling me that her mother wanted to know if the food was all right and whether it was too salty. I am not used to iPads, so she indicated I should go with her to her house. Then, she handed the iPad to her husband and almost immediately I found myself looking at Nicole in Shanghai and discussing her mothers cooking and salt intake. Instantly, tears welled in my eyes. “Your mother just cant be bringing me meals like this all the time,” I insisted. “I can hardly do dishes in return.” “Oh, no, Lucy.” Nicole said. “Mum doesnt like western food. Dont worry about it; she has to cook for the three of them anyway, and she wants to do it.”The doorbell keeps ringing and there is the familiar brown paper carrier bag, handed smilingly tome. I am now working on some more Chinese wordsits the least I can do after such a display of kindness.“Thank you” is, of course, the first one. Somehow, it seems inadequate.33.
