Almost every college and university in the US now offers some forms of Internet–based application. However, students may miss a lot when they only use Internet information to make their college decisions. Some people believe that the best way to get a detailed look at what life is like at any college or university is by visiting the campus.

At present, school visits are becoming popular in the US. Most students begin visiting colleges and universities that they are interested in before their final year of high school. The majority of colleges and universities let interested students visit their campuses at any time of a year. Students can contact the admission offices of the schools that interest them. Current students usually lead the tours. Their job is to provide information, offer advice and show future students different parts of the campus, such as housing and classrooms. During the visit, students should also try to plan a meeting with an admission official. Most schools keep a record of all the exchanges they have with candidates. Trying to meet with officials in person to ask them questions shows interest on the part of the applicant, which schools like to see.

It’s never too early to visit a school. This could be years before they even start thinking about the application process. Simply witnessing the college experience in real life can be helpful for young people. That is why some applicants even bring younger brothers and sisters with them on visits.

However, visiting schools may not be a choice appropriate to everyone, especially　 international (国际的）students, so for students who are unable to visit, there is one additional resource: social media. Many schools use Facebook, Instagram and Snapchat to advertise themselves. Schools will permit students to post videos and pictures that show what their daily lives are like at college. These can provide applicants with a view that is almost as good as being there in person.

1.What’s the most common way to apply for a college?

A.By visiting the campus. B.By surfing the Internet.

C.By writing a letter. D.By making a call.

2.Who are more likely to offer information to the visiting students?

A.Admission officials. B.Volunteers.

C.Students at school. D.Graduates.

3.Which word can replace the underlined word “appropriate” in the last paragraph?

A.Suitable. B.Familiar.

C.Equal. D.Related.

4.What’s the purpose of the text?

A.To give some advice. B.To show a phenomenon.

C.To compare the changes. D.To attract more students.

China is now sending more college students to study in the United States than any other country. A new report shows a 23 percent increase in the number of Chinese students coming to the U.S.

The latest edition of the annual Institute of International Education (IIE) and another US institute found a 5 percent rise in the number of international university students in the US compared to one year ago. There are now over 157, 000 Chinese students at U.S. colleges and universities.

Asia accounted for four of the top five countries and regions to take advantage of the US higher education system. “Increased numbers of students from China, particularly at the undergraduate level, largely accounts for the growth this past year,” the report stated. “They really enroll in a full range of US higher education,” said Peggy Blumenthal, senior counselor to the president of IIE, the group that made the report. “20 years ago, students from China only knew of a handful of US institutions, but now, they are enrolling in our community colleges, in our small liberal arts institutions, in the research universities. Really spread across the country,” she said.

Chinese mainland was in the number one spot, while India was the number two country of origin. South Korea was the third and Canada was number four. China’s Taiwan held the number five spot. Saudi Arabia was in sixth with a 44-percent increase, while Japan was seventh, down 14 percent.

Blumenthal associates the increase in the number of Chinese students heading to US colleges to limited university places in China, as well as a feeling from students and their parents than they want a “unique” educational experience. China’s family planning policy, says Blumenthal, has also meant that families can concentrate resources on a single child.

The University of California at Los Angeles has one of the largest Asian student populations of any college in the United States.

1. Which ranked the third place sharing US higher education?

A. Saudi Arabia    B. South Korea

C. Canada    　　 D. India

2.Why is the number of Chinese students going to the US increasing?

A. The US colleges are better than those in China.

B. Each family in China has only one child.

C. China lacks enough educational resources.

D. Chinese students can enter varieties of US colleges.

3.Which of the following is right according to Peggy Blumenthal?

A. The number of Chinese students going to the US has increased by 23%.

B. The University of California has contributed to Asian education greatly.

C. Chinese student populations in the US mainly consist of undergraduates.

D. Chinese students know more about US higher education than before.

4. The best title for the passage can be ________.

A. Chinese College Students Rush to US Schools

B. The Large Number of Chinese Students in the US

C. Chinese Students Make Up Largely Foreign Students in the US

D. Asian Middle School Students in the US Universities

In colleges around the country, most students are also workers.

The reality of college can be pretty different from the images presented in movies and television. Instead of the students who wake up late, party all the time, and study only before exams, many colleges are full of students with pressing schedules of not just classes and activities, but real jobs, too.

This isn’t a temporary phenomenon. The share of working students has been on the rise since the 1970s, and one-fifth of students work year round. About one-quarter of those who work while attending school have both a full-course load and a full-time job. The arrangement can help pay for tuition (学费) and living costs, obviously. And there’s value in it beyond the direct cause: such jobs can also be critical for developing important professional and social skills that make it easier to land a job after graduation. With many employers looking for students with already-developed skill sets, on-the-job training while in college can be the best way to ensure a job later on.

But it’s not all upside. Even full-time work may not completely cover the cost of tuition and living expenses. The study notes that if a student worked a full-time job at the federal minimum wage, they would earn just over $15,000 each year, certainly not enough to pay for tuition, room, and board at many colleges without some serious financial aid. That means that though they’re sacrificing time away from the classroom, many working students will still graduate with at least some debt. And working full time can reduce the chance that students will graduate at all, by cutting into the time available for studying and attending classes.

There is little reward for attending but not finishing college. Students who end up leaving school because of difficulty in managing work and class are likely to find themselves stuck in some of the same jobs they might have gotten if they hadn’t gone at all. The difficulty of working too much while in school can create a cycle that pushes students further into debt without receiving any of the financial or career benefits.

1.According to the passage, the reality of college students is that ________.

A. they throw parties a lot B. they stay up late every night

C. they work besides attending classes D. they pay no attention to exams

2.What is the indirect cause of an increasing number of working students?

A. The need of developing social networks.

B. The lack of summer jobs for young adults.

C. The chance of finding a job after graduation.

D. The expenses of high tuition and living costs.

3.We can learn from the passage that _________.

A. working students are more likely to finish college

B. students can cover their college expenses through working

C. students receive a huge reward for managing work and class

D. working while attending school may not help students get career benefits

4.What is the best title for the passage?

A. The Difficulties of Landing a Job

B. The Struggle of Work-School Balance

C. The Reward of Working While Studying
