We also discussed the rules for entering in the prefix = st1 /United States. And we talked about programs that can be completed online. But if your goal is to come to the United Statesto 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 _ 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 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.

But officials warned that it was too early to say whether the eruption was over completely. Ash clouds from the volcano grounded thousands of flights last month. Steinunn Jakobsdottir, a geophysicist from the Icelandic Meteorological Office, told the BBC that the volcano was "kind of not active for the moment". "The history of the volcano is such that it calms down and then it gets energy again," she said. "There are still earthquakes under the volcano, and the small earthquake is still not quite down to what it was before the eruption." 'Difficult to say' Magnus Gudmundsson, of Iceland University, flew over the volcano on Sunday and said information from heat cameras showed the temperatures at the crater had fallen below 100C. But he told the AFP news agency that nothing was promised and that the previous eruption at the volcano had lasted 13 months, from 1821-23. "It stopped and started again several times with different intervals , so it's difficult to say, difficult to give a timeline," he said. He also said it was impossible to say whether the neighbouring Katla volcano - a much larger mountain - might also erupt. At the height of its activity, the volcano sent out huge clouds of ash, which led to airlines grounding their planes for fear it could _ plane engines. It was the biggest action of closing airspace in Europe since World War II, and affected at least 10 million passengers worldwide. Question: What does Steinunn Jakobsdottir think of Eyjafjallajokull? Options: A: It will erupt again soon B: It will be sleeping C: Another mountain might also erupt D: It's uncertain

Read the article and select the best answer. Article: Student Services Students' Union Every University has a Students' Union. If students are the lifeblood of a university, the Union is surely its beating heart. For students, by students A Students' Union is run by students and acts independently. At the end of each academic year, it will find six students to hold a sabbatical position managing the Union for the coming year. That the six successful sabbatical officers have only recently experienced issues affecting students ensures that your needs are very well understood. Letting your hair down Although the University is spread across a fairly wide area, the Union is centrally located and is only a short walk from any of the main buildings. This makes it very easy to catch up with friends who might be on a different course. At night, the place really comes alive - we have three different bars to suit every occasion. The venues are student-only so you can be sure of meeting people with a similar outlook and we throw in a transport service to make sure you get home safely. The Union also organizes various formal balls throughout the year, with the highlight being the end-of-year ball. Supporting you Beyond having fun, we also make sure some of the more serious issues are effectively dealt with. If you have a problem with your course, another sabbatical officer is trained to help you. Being independent from the University means we can represent and support you to the best of our ability, and once you reach university you may find that you become aware of more national or political issues. Question: After reading the last two parts, we can infer that _ . Options: A: the Students' Union can help a student who has trouble in the study B: the Students' Union can help a student who is being trained C: the Students' Union can cultivate the ability of a student to be suitable for political position D: the Students' Union can support a student to run the University
