College visits are important. Before you commit years of your life and money to a school，be sure you're choosing a place that is a good match for your personality and interests. You can't get the “feel” of a school from any guidebook，so be sure to visit the campus. Below are a few tips for getting the most out of your college visit.Explore on Your OwnOf course you should take the official campus tour，but be sure to allow time to hang around on your own. The trained tour guides will show you a school's selling points. But the oldest and prettiest buildings don't give you the entire picture of a college. Try to walk the extra mile and get the complete picture of the campus.Read the Bulletin BoardsWhen you visit the student center，academic buildings and residence halls，take a few minutes to read the bulletin boards. They provide an easy way to see what's happening on campus. The ads for lectures，clubs and plays can tell you what's going on outside the classrooms.Eat in the Dining HallYou can get a good feel for student life by eating in the dining hall. Try to sit with students if you can. Do the students seem happy or stressed？Also，is the food good？Are there adequate healthy options？Many admission offices will give prospective students coupons（优惠券）for free meals in the dining halls.Visit a Class in Your MajorIf you know what you want to study，a class visit makes a lot of sense. You'll get to observe other students in your field and see how involved they are in classroom discussion. Try to stay after class for a few minutes and chat with the students to get their impressions of their professors and major. Be sure to call in advance to schedule a classroom visit-most colleges don't allow visitors to drop in at class unannounced.Talk to Lots of StudentsYour campus tour guide has been trained to market the school. Try to talk to students who aren't getting paid to impress you. These important conversations can often provide you with information about college life that isn't part of the admission script. Few university officials will tell you if their students spend all weekend drinking or studying，but a group of random students might.For more tips，please go to collegeapps. about. com.【1】The best way to know about a college in an official campus tour is______________.A.to walk around the campus aloneB.to take pictures of the campusC.to visit the oldest and prettiest buildingsD.to hire a trained tour guide【2】Reading the bulletin boards can help you______________A.decide-the major you want to studyB.find out the after-class activities on campusC.get free coupons from the admission officesD.find out the options of healthy food【3】If you plan to attend a class on campus，____________.A.drop in at a class in your majorB.have talks with students before classC.make an appointment in advanceD.ask the professor for permission【4】To get a real idea of the college during a visit，it's best to talk to_____________A.famous professors B.campus tour guidesC.admission officers D.random students【5】Where does the passage probably come from？A.A news report.B.A tourist poster.C.An educational journal.D.A geographical magazine. 答案：【答案】【1】A【2】B【3】C【4】D【5】C【解析】本文属于说明文，本文对上大学之前需要了解的信息给出了一些建议，可以自行探索，阅读公告栏，在餐厅试吃，旁听课程和与其他同学交谈。【1】细节理解题。根据第一个标题下的第一句中的"but be sure to allow time to hang around on your own"可知，要想了解一所大学，最好能独自在校园逗留一段时间。故选A。【2】细节理解题。根据第二个标题下的They provide an easy way to see what's happening on campus，可知，公告栏可以让你了解校园课外活动的相关信息。故选B。【3】细节理解题。根据第四个标题下的Be sure to call in advance to schedule a classroom visit-most colleges don't allow visitors to drop in on class unannounced。可知，并不是所有的课都可以旁听的，你需要提前预约。故选C。【4】细节理解题。根据第五个标题下的You'll get to observe other students in your field and see how involved they are in classroom discussion可知，要想真正了解一所大学的情况，最好能随机地和一些学生交谈。故选D。【5】推理判断题。根据全文内容可知，本文对上大学之前需要了解的信息给出了一些建议，所以最有可能来自教育期刊。故选C。
