    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．

    57．B．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．
    58．C．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．

    12．People laugh and people cry．But it is thought that emotions such as anger，grief or joy，typically make Americans feel uncomfortable and embarrassed．The shedder of tears（落泪者） is likely to apologize，even when a great tragedy was the cause．The observer of tears is likely to do everything possible to put an end to the emotional tears．But judging from recent studies of crying behavior，both those responses to tears are often inappropriate and may even be counterproductive （适得其反）．
      Humans are the only animals clearly known to shed emotional tears．Since evolution has given rise to few purposeless physiological responses，it is logical to assume that crying has one or more functions that increase survival．
      Although some observers have suggested that crying is a way to ask for assistance form others （as a crying baby might from its mother），the shedding of tears is hardly necessary to get help．Vo-cal （出声的） cries would have been quite enough，more likely than tears to gain attention．So，it appears that there must be something special about tears themselves．
      Indeed，the new studies suggest that emotional tears may play a direct role in easing stress．University of Minnesota researchers who are studying the chemical composition of tears have recently separated two important chemicals from emotional tears．Both chemicals are found only in tears that are shed in response to emotion．Tears shed because of exposure to cut onion would contain no such substance．
      Other researchers are looking into the usefulness of tears as a means of diagnosing human ills and monitoring drugs．At Tulane University's Teat Analysis Laboratory Dr．Peter Kastl and his colleagues r eport that they can use tears to detect drug abuse，to study the causes of"dry eye"syndrome（综合症） and the effects of eye surgery，and perhaps even to measure exposure to environmental pollutants．
    64．What does the phrase"both those responses"in Paragraph 1 refer to？D
    A．Crying out of sorrow and shedding tears for happiness．
    B．The embarrassment and unpleasant feelings of the observers．
    C．Linking illness with crying and finding the chemical composition of tears．
    D．The tear shedder's apology and the observer's effort to stop the crying．
    65．It is known from the first paragraph thatA．
    A．shedding tears gives unpleasant feelings to Americans
    B．crying may often result in tragedy
    C．crying usually wins sympathy from other people
    D．one who sheds tears in public will be blamed
    66．From the passage we can infer thatB．
    A．it is unnatural for people to shed tears
    B．we can reduce our stress by shedding tears
    C．shedders of tears can't get help by crying loudly
    D．unlike animals，humans can shed tears for survival．

    14．Could smells affect your lifespan？Female fruit flies（果蝇） without the ability to smell food live longer than other fruit flies．The sense of smell may be connected to the cellular ageing （细胞老化） process in many other living things-even people．Such connection has recently been found in both worms and flies．For example，scientists found that removing fruit flies'ability to smell made them live nearly 20percent longer than flies with a sense of smell．
    They confirmed that food smells were the ones most likely to affect ageing，as nutrition and lifespan are known to be connected in many living things．To test the idea that food smells affect lifespan，they removed flies'ability to smell carbon dioxide，which is produced by some fly foods．They left the rest of the smelling system intact．
    This action had no effect on male flies，but the females lived 30percent longer than normal．Removing the ability to smell CO2 may stop flies getting information about food availability．This could mean that food is not enough，causing processes that encourage flies to survive．Scientists found that the female flies stored extra fat and that both males and females immune（免疫） to CO2were stronger against the stress than normal flies．It is suggested that females may simply be easily influenced by the smells of CO2．
    Scientists point out that people don't know whether ageing and smell are connected in animals and humans．But they clearly experience physical changes after smelling food．

    21．From the passage，we learn that what scientists found is toC
    A．show there is the best way to make lifespan longer
    B．tell us we should remove our smell ability to live long
    C．show the sense of smell can affect the cellular ageing process
    D．explain fruit flies without ability to smell can live longer
    22．Scientists do some researches to proveD
    A．the immune system of flies to CO2
    B．the connections between nutrition and lifespan
    C．the importance of food smells to our humans
    D．the connections between food smells and lifespan
    23．According to scientists'opinion，we can see thatB
    A．male flies in general can live longer than female ones
    B．flies without ability to smell is encouraged to store extra energy
    C．both male and female flies can live longer without the ability to smell
    D．flies without ability to smell can also get information about food availability
    24．Which of the following best describes the passage as a whole？B
    A．CO2 has few effects on female flies．
    B．The sense of smell might have an effect on living things．
    C．The sense of smell is necessary to humans'health．
    D．Female fruit flies can always live longer than male flies．
