19.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 Own
Of course you should take an 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 Boards
When 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 Hall
You 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 rich healthy options?Many admission offices will give prospective students coupons(优惠券) for free meals in the dining hall.
Visit a Class in Your Major
If 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 on class unannounced.
Talk to Lots of Students
Your 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.
56.The best way to know about a college in an official campus tour isA.
A.to walk around the campus alone
B.to take pictures of the campus
C.to visit the oldest and prettiest buildings
D.to hire a tour guide
57.Reading the bulletin boards can help youB.
A.decide the major you want to study
B.find out the after-class activities on campus
C.get free coupons from the admission offices
D.find out the options of healthy food
58.If you plan to attend a class on campus,C.
A.drop in on a class in your major
B.have talks with the students in the class
C.make an appointment in advance
D.ask how the students like their teachers and majors
59.To get a real idea of the college during a visit,it's best to talk toD.
A.famous professors                
B.campus tour guides
C.admission officers

3.My heart sank when the man at the immigration(移民)counter gestured to the back room.I was born and raised in America,and this was Miami,where I live,but they weren't quite ready to let me in yet.
"Please wait in here,Ms.Abujaber,"the immigration officer said.My husband,with his very American last name,accompanied me.He was getting used to this.The same thing had happened recently in Canada when I'd flown to Montreal to speak at a book event.That time they held me for 45minutes.Today we were returning from a literary festival in Jamaica,and I was shocked
That I was being sent"in back"once again.
The officer behind the counter called me up and said,"Miss,your name looks like the name of someone who's on our wanted list.We're going to have to check you out with Washington."
"How long will it take?"
"Hard to say…a few minutes,"he said,"We'll call you when we're ready for you."After an hour,Washington still hadn't decided anything about me.
"Isn't this computerized?"I asked at the counter,"Can't you just look me up?"
"Just a few more minutes,"they assured me.
After an hour and a half,I pulled my cell phone out to call the friends I was supposed to meet that evening.An officer rushed over."No phones!"he said,"For all we know you could be calling a terrorist cell and giving them information."
"I'm just a university professor,"I said.My voice came out in a squeak.
"Of course you are.And we take people like you out of here in leg irons every day."
I put my phone away.
My husband and I were getting hungry and tired.Whole families had been brought into the waiting room,and the place was packed with excitable children,exhausted parents,and even a flight attendant.
I wanted to scream,to jump on a chair and shout:"I'm an American citizen; a novelist; I probably teach English literature to your children."
After two hours in detention (扣押),I was approached by one of the officers."You're free to go,"he said.No explanation or apologies.For a moment,neither of us moved.We were still in shock.Then we leaped to our feet.
"Oh,one more thing,"he handed me a tattered photocopy(破烂的复印件) with an address on it,"If you aren't happy with your treatment,you can write to this agency."
"Will they respond?"I asked.
"I don't know-I don't know of anyone who's ever written to them before."Then he added,"By the way,this will probably keep happening each time you travel internationally."
"What can I do to keep it from happening again?"
He smiled the empty smile we'd seen all day,"Absolutely nothing."
After telling several friends about our ordeal,probably the most frequent advice I've heard in response is to change my name.Twenty years ago,my own graduate school writing professor advised me to write under a pen name so that publishers wouldn't stick me in what he called"the ethnic ghetto"-a separate,secondary shelf in the bookstore.But a name is an integral part of anyone's personal and professional identity-just like the town you're born in and the place where you're raised.
Like my father,I'll keep the name,but my airport experience has given me a whole new perspective on what diversity and tolerance are supposed to mean.I had no idea that being an American would ever be this hard.

66.The author was held at the airport becauseD.
A.she had been held in Montreal               B.she had spoken at a book event
C.she and her husband returned from Jamaica   D.her name was similar to a terrorist's
67.She was not allowed to call her friends becauseA.
A.her identity hadn't been confirmed yet
B.she had been held for only one hour and a half
C.there were other families in the waiting room
D.she couldn't use her own cell phone
68.We learn from the passage that the author wouldB to prevent similar experience from happening again.
A.change her name                B.do nothing
C.write to the agency            D.avoid traveling abroad
69.Her experiences indicate that there still existsC in the US.
A.tolerance         B.diversity(差异)  C.discrimination(歧视) D.hatred
70.The author soundsA in the last paragraph.
A.ironic (具有讽刺意味的)  B.impatient     C.worried       D.bitter.
