league tables have spread across higher educationand have become important to marketing courses to the three million international students. but this latest table is different in that it measures how universities are regarded, rather than how they actually performed.a subjective(主观的), word-of-mouth quality such as“reputation” has genuine economic value for universities, said simon marginson, professof of higher education at the university of melbourne in australia.“reputation is not an illusion(假象), though it might be more uncertain than performance by objective indicators,” said professor marginson.based on the views of 13000 college teachers around the world, it confirms the power of the big us universities, which dominate this league table. seven of the top 10 are us universities. headed by harvard and massachusetts institute of technology(mit). furthermore, 14 of the top 20 are from the us. cambridge is the highest ranking uk university in the list, in third place, with oxford ranked as sixth.for students applying to university, reputation might be hard to quantify(量化), but was an important part of the appeal, said the president of cambridge universitys students union , rahul mansigani.“reputation makes a huge difference. if there is an idea that somewhere is great, it will get lots of good people applying whether its true or not. factors such as a sense of history and the presence of leading college teachers were part of the reputation of cambridge,” he said.32. which of the following shows the correct order the ranking?a. cambridge
