C. 3. Translate the text HIGHER EDUCATION IN THE UNITED STATES using a dictionary:

There are more than two thousand institutions of higher education in the United States with the number of students ranging from fewer than a hundred to 40,000 students. Young people who want to enter higher education must meet several requirements. They must have attended a high school for four years. And if their grades in high school are satisfactory, they are admitted to a university where they may take a Bachelor's degree after a four-year course of study. During the first two years certain courses in English, social science, natural science and so on must be completed before a student may begin an intensive study of his special field. Nearly all of Universities in the United States are coeducational. This means both men and women attend the same university.

University life provides a wide variety of recreational activities. Although a great deal of time must necessarily be devoted to study, students find time for recreation. There are football, basketball and baseball games, teas and dances, concerts, etc. Most recreation activities are not expensive for the student.
