To qualify to study in Belgium, it is essential to meet relevant requirements in (1) academic credentials, (2) linguistic skills, (3) academic objectives and (4) financial resources. Let us review these four points: 1. Academic credentials Equivalence and admissibility of degrees will be assessed according to Belgian law and individual university regulations. Please submit a copy of your degree with a translation to the chosen universitys admission board. 2. Language skills Chinese students who wish to follow courses in Dutch or French must realize that a superficial knowledge of the language will not do. The ability to speak Dutch or French is imperative in order to follow lectures and to pass examinations. A preparatory year of language instruction is available in some universities for already enrolled students. Please apply for information at university of your choice. Students who wish to attend lectures in English (post-academic training international courses) must of course have a good command of that language. Universities will inform you about their individual TOFEL requirements. 3. Programs Belgium universities offer basic academic courses, advance academic training courses, doctoral programs, post-academic training and various international study programs (Masters) in the fields of technology, law, economics and applied economies, political and social sciences, dentistry, pharmaceutical sciences, language and literature/history, archaeology and art sciences, psychology and educational sciences, medical sciences, engineering and applied biological sciences. 4. Financing Although precise determination of study and living expenses depends on individual life style, one can assess that about 350,000 Belgian Francs (BEF) (about 88,000 RMB) is necessary for one years study. This amount should include books, housing, food, transport, and health insurance. It does not include registration fees which can vary from about 25,000 BEF for a student under scholarship to 290,000 BEF for a self financing student, according to the chosen study program.

PART IV TRANSLATION
Directions: Translate the following part of the text into English. Write your translation on ANSWER SHEET THREE.
我们住的是临河一幢房子的顶层，那天晚上河上狂风怒号，连房子都震动了，好似遭到了炮击或海涛的拍打。后来狂风又带来了骤雨，击打在玻璃窗台上，抬眼看时，窗子都在摇晃，恍若置身在一座风雨飘摇的灯塔中一般。有时候，壁炉里的烟会从烟囱里倒灌进来，似乎受不住屋外风雨的侵凌。我打开门，往往楼下，楼梯上的灯已经扑灭；握手搭凉棚，透过漆黑的玻璃窗朝外一望（在这种风侵雨虐的夜晚，休说开窗，连一丝风儿也露不得），只见院子里的灯也扑灭了，桥上和岸边的灯也都在瑟瑟发抖，狂风从驳船上的炉子里刮起了阵阵火星，有若一阵阵风雨。
SECTION B ENGLISH TO CHINESE
Directions: Translate the following underlined part of the text into Chinese. Write your translation on ANSWER SHEET THREE.
Youve been in love of course! If not youve got it to come. Love is like the measles; we all have to go through it. Also like the measles, we take it only once. One never need be afraid of catching it a second time. The man who has had it can go into the most dangerous places, and play the most fool-hardy tricks with perfect safety. He can, to see the last of a friend, venture into the very jaws of the marriage ceremony itself. He can keep through the whirl of a ravishing waltz, and rest afterwards in a dark conservatory, catching nothing more lasting than a cold. No, we never sicken with love twice. Cupid spends no second arrow on the same heart. Loves handmaids are our life-long friends. Respect and Admiration, and Affection, our doors may always be left open for, but their great celestial master, in his royal progress, pays but one visit and departs. Meteor-like, it blazes for a moment, and light with its glory the whole world beneath. Happy those who, hastening down again before it dies out, can kindle their earthly altars at its flame. Love is too pure a light to burn long among the noisome gases that we breathe, but before it is chocked out we may use it as a torch to ignite the cozy fire of affection.
