    　　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.

    (1) This passage mainly tells us about________.

    [　　]

    A．how to apply for American colleges and universities

    B．how to begin a search for a school in the United States

    C．a series of programs for foreign students into America

    D．the rules for foreign students to enter the United States

    (2) From this passage we can infer that_______

    [　　]

    A．many American students want to study abroad

    B．Foreign Student Series has lasted for weeks

    C．less and less American universities will admit foreign students

    D．the process of applying to American big universities is more complicated

    (3) The writer mentions the Ohio State Uni-versity so as to________.

    [　　]

    A．recommend foreign students to apply for the university

    B．offer some steps for entering the uni-versity

    C．explain how to apply for American big universities

    D．explain how big the university really is

    (4) If a Chinese student wants to study in the United States, he/she may take the fol-lowing tests EXCEPT________.

    [　　]

    A．SAT

    B．ACT

    C．TOEFL

    　　In a few years, you might be able to speak Chinese, Korean, Japanese, French, and English-andall at the same time．This sounds incredible, but Alex Waibel, a computer science professor at US's Car-negie Mellon University(CMU)and Germany's University of Karlsruhe, announced last week that it may soon be reality．He and his team have invented software and hardware that could make it far easier forpeople who speak different languages to understand each other．

    　　One application, called Lecture Translation, can easily translate a speech from one language into an-other．Current translation technologies typically limit speakers to certain topics or a limited vocabulary．Us-ers also have to be trained how to use the programme．

    　　Another machine can send translations of a speech to different listeners depending on what languagethey speak．“It is like having a simultaneous translator right next to you but without disturbing the person next to you, ”Waibel said

    　　Prefer to read? So- called Translation Glasses transcribe(转录)the translations on a tiny liquid-crystal display(LCD)screen．

    　　Then there's the Muscle Translator．Electrodes capture the electrical signals from facial muscle movements made naturally when a person is mouthing words．The signals are then translated into speech．The electrodes could be replaced with wireless chips implanted in a person's face, according to research-ers．

    　　During a demonstration held last Thursday in CMU's Pittsburgh campus, a Chinese student named Sang Jun had 11 tiny electrodes attached to the muscles of his cheeks, neck and throat．Then he mouthed-without speaking aloud- a few words in Mandarin(普通话)to the audience．A few seconds later, the phrase was displayed on a computer screen and spoken out by the computer in English and Spanish：“Let me introduce our new prototype．”

    　　This particular instrument, when fully developed, might allow anyone to speak in any number of lan-guages or, as Waibel put it, “to switch your mouth to a foreign language”．“The idea behind the universi-ty's prototypes is to create'good enough' bridges for cross- cultural exchanges that are becoming more common in the world, ”Waibel said．

    　　With spontaneous(自发的)translators, foreign drivers in Germany could listen to traffic warnings on the radio; tourists in China could read all the signs and talk with local people; leaders of different coun-tries could have secret talks without any interpreters there．
