　　This week, we talk about the application process for American colleges and universi-ties. This is part eight in our Foreign Student Series. Earlier, we explained how to begin a search for schools by going to one of the American educational advising centers around the world. We also discussed the rules for entering the United States. And we talked about programs that can be completed on-line.

　　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 students 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 University.That university in Columbus, Ohio, in the Midwest, has almost 52 000 students. There are students this year from around one hun-dred fifty countries. Ohio State provides in-ternational 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 pay-ment.

　　Many colleges and universities have their applications and also their catalogs on-line. A catalog is the publication in which a school tells about its programs. 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 admission tests. The SAT is the college entry test that American high school students most com-monly take. Another one is the ACT. Colle-ges and universities may also require interna-tional students discussing these tests next week.

　　What made it particularly terrifying was its similarity to the mandrake, a plant that was the to have come from Hell(地狱)．What earned the plant its awful reputation was its roots w looked like a dried-up human body occupied by evil spirits．Tough the tomato and the man were quite different except that both had bright red or yellow fruit, the general population consio them one and the same, to terrible to touch．

　　Cautious Europeans long ignored the tomato, and until the early 1700s most of the We people continued to drag their feet．In the 1880s, the daughter of a well-known plant expert that the most interestinig part of an afternoon tea at her father's house had been the “introduction this wonderful new fruit-or is it a vegetable?”As late as the twentieth century some writers classed tomatoes with mandrakes as an”evil fruit”．

    Do you know of anyone who uses the truth to deceive(欺骗)?When someone tells

you something that is true，but leaves out important information that should be includ—ed。he can give you a false picture．

    For example，someone might say，“I just won a hundred dollars on the lottery(彩

票)．It was great．I took that dollar ticket back to the store and turned it in for one hun—dred dollars!”

   This guy's a winner，right? Maybe，maybe not．We then discover that he bought

 $ 200 worth of tickets，and only one was a winner．He’S really a big loser!

  He didn’t say anything that was false，but he left out important information on

purpose．That’s called a haIf-truth．Half truths are not technically lies，but they are

just as dishonest．

    Some  politicians often use this trick．Let’s  say that during Governor Smith’s last

term，her state lost one million jobs and gained three million jobs．Then she seeks an

 other term．One of her opponents(对手)says，“During Governor Smith’s term，the

 state lost one million jobs!” That’s true．However，an honest statement would have

 been，“During Governor Smith's term，the state had a net gain of two million jobs．’’

    Advertisers(广告商)will sometimes use half—truths．It’s against the law to make

false statements so they try to mislead you with the truth．An advertisement might say，

“Nine out of ten doctors advised their patients to  take Yucky Pills to cure toothache．”It fails to mention that they only asked ten doctors and nine of them work for the Yucky

Company．

  This kind of deception happens too often．It’s  a sad fact of life：Lies are lies，and

sometimes the truth can 1ie as well．

  69．How much did the lottery winner lose?

      A．one hundred dollars．           B．Two hundred dollars．

      C．Three hundred dollars．         D．Four hundred dollars．

70．We may infer that the author believes people should

     A．buy lottery tickets if possible       B．make use of half—truths

     C．be careful about what they are told   D．not trust the Yucky Company

71．What do the underIined words“net gain”in Paragraph 5 mean?

    A．final increase                     B．big advantage

    C．1arge share                      D．total number

72．What can we know from the example of the Yucky Pill advertisement?

    A．False statements are easy to see through．

    B．Half-truths are often used to mislead people．

    C．Doctors like to act in advertisements．

    D．Advertisements are based on facts．

    eeive?

75．Which of the following best expresses the main idea of the passage?

Find Which Direction Is South

Do you have a good sense of direction? If not, please take with you a compass. But if you forget to take a compass, you can still find your way.

It’s never a good idea to imagine that the family member who was entrusted（委

托）with the job of map-reading actually knows where the family is.

You can tell by the slightly confused load on their faces that nothing on the

ground seems to match the map. Never mind. The hun is shining and it’s still morning. If you don’t know the exact time, you can still find out where south is, but you’ll need to be patient.  

Find a straight stick and put it in the ground in a place where you can mark its

shadow.

Try to position the stick as vertically（垂直）as you can. You can check this by

making a simple plumb line （铅锤线）with a piece of string and weight. You haven’t got any string? OK, use a thread from your clothes with a button tied at the end to act as a weight.   

Mark the end of the shadow cast by the stick. 

Wait about half an hour and mark the end of the shadow again. 

Keep doing this until you have made several marks. 

The mark nearest the stick will represent the shortest shadow, which is cast at midday, when the sun is highest in the sky and pointing to the exact south. 

Pick a point in the distance along the line between the shortest shadow and the stick. That point is south of where you are.  

Now you can turn the map, like you did before, and find which way you should be travelling.  

68. To find the direction, we ought to be patient probably because

    A. it is not easy to find a proper stick   B. it is not easy to position the stick

C. it takes hours to make the marks    D. it takes about half an hour to make the marks

69.The passage would probably be most helpful to       .   

A. those who draw maps           B. those who get lost

C. those who make compasses       D. those who do experiments  

70. The author presents this passage by       .   

A. telling an interesting story       

B. describing an activity in a lively way

C. testing an idea by reasoning      

D. introducing a practical method

71. Which of the following pictures best shows the way of finding the direction of south?
