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 in 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 Web site. 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 (目录) 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. Another one is the ACT.
Colleges and universities may also require international students to take the TOEFL--the Test of English as a Foreign Language.

In a living statue, just as the name implies, somebody transforms himself or herself into a statue. Last year, I came across an article in a magazine describing living statues in the streets of some Australian cities. The article was vividly written, except that there was not even a single picture; one could only imagine what a scene it would have been! All the harder, then, to believe that I ran into the “ wonder ” in Barcelona this year. The performers--the living statues--were street artists at Las Ramblas.
Las Ramblas is the most famous street in Barcelona. Especially in summer, thousands of tourists go to the seaside by passing through this street, making it a center of shops and bazaars. Not only can you find tourists there, but also thieves, cheats, cops... among whom the living statue artists are the most special group.
They were covered with greasepaint(化妆油) in different colors, wearing season--disproportional （不和季节的）clothes, standing on a pedestal（底座）for several hours without making even a single move. Are they real or fake, the guests were wondering…and then suddenly the statues came to life, just for a few seconds to shift positions. But the movement of the statues seemed like someone just had breathed life into them. They really do look like statues, and that's how they got their name.
Usually there is a jar or a hat in front of them. They would change to another pose whenever some tourist puts a coin in the hat. You may take photos after giving a Euro, or even less, but be careful not to touch the statues, unless you want yourself to be covered in paint. It is a really special experience, don’ t you think?
60. The best title for this passage would be _____________________ .
A. The Living Statues of Barcelona B. Street Artists at Las Ramblas
C. A Shopping Center in Barcelona D. Special Performances at Las Ramblas
61. We can infer from this passage that Las Ramblas is _______________________________ .
A. very famous in Barcelona B. near the'seaside
C. a shopping center D. the writer;s "wonder"
62. The underlinedword “ fake” in paragraph 4 means
