There is a story told about how Neil set about winning over one particular boy．The boy was always causing trouble and clearly regarded all teachers 36 a hostile eye．On one occasion, Neil, out taking a 37 , had just rounded a corner when he came across the boy playing on his own．The boy, not noticing he was no longer 38 , picked up a stone and threw it through one of the school windows．Turning, he saw Neil．Instead of finding himself 39 at angrily as he expected, the boy was 40 to see Neil bend down, pick up a stone and hurl it at another window．The boy had to 41 to get the window repaired, so did Neil． 42 he thought this a small price to pay for 43 a bond between himself and the boy, whose 44 improved afterwards．
Neil was a remarkable character who knew just when to be 45 and just when to adopt a lighter touch when handling children．Not everyone is so 46 ．Willie Russell, the 47 , likes to talk about the time when he had freshly 48 from teacher training college and had just begun to work as a teacher．On his first day at the school he was left to do playground duty on his own, rather a（n） 49 experience for one so new to the job．Surrounded by children at morning break, he turned to see one of the children throwing a stone at a school window．When the boy saw that he had been 50 by a teacher, his face fell． 51 for this boy, Russell remembered the story about Neil．Stooping down he picked up a stone and propelled(投掷) it through another window．Turning to smile proudly at the boy his satisfaction was suddenly shattered by the sound of dozens of windows being 52 by flying stones．

This week，We talk about the application process for American colleges and universities．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 in the United States． 
71
But if your goal is to come to the United States to study，then it is time to make a list of colleges of universities that interest you． 72 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．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． 73 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． 74 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． 75 Colleges and universities may also require international students to take the TOEFL—the Test of English as a Foreign Language．
A．Completing a college application can take some time． B．You can pay the application charge online with a credit card． C．Another one is the ACT． D．If a really big university appeals to you，then there aye ones like Ohio State．
