As visiting a school is one of the first steps in choosing your college, it should be approached with some thought and planning. Because you will probably be visiting more than one college in a short period of time—often several during one trip. It's a good idea to prepare for your college visits. To guide you through this often harsh (but fun and exciting) process, we've put together some tips: Before you begin visiting colleges, you need to come up with a list of schools that interest you. You should talk with your guidance counselor, teachers, coaches, parents and friends to get some ideas. Then do some research. Guidebooks and college and university websites are excellent sources. Call each college's admissions office and request information about the school and any particular programs in which you are interested. Deciding when to visit is also important. For convenience, many families will visit schools in the summer, often planning visits around a family vacation. Summer visits will allow you to get a sense of the campus and the location of the school.

单选题Scientists have established that influenza (流行性感冒) viruses taken from man can cause the disease in animals. In addition, man can catch the disease from animals. In fact, a great number of wild birds seem to carry the virus without showing any evidence of illness. Some scientists conclude that a large family of influenza viruses may have evolved in the bird kingdom, a group that has been on the earth for 100 million years and is able to carry the virus without contracting the disease. There is even convincing evidence to show that virus strains (菌珠) are transmitted from place to place and from continent to continent by migrating birds. It is known that two influenza viruses can recombine when both are present in an animal at the same time. The result of such recombination is a great variety of strains containing different H and N spikes. This raises the possibility that a human influenza virus can recombine with an influenza virus from a lower animal to produce an entirely new spike. Research is underway to determine if that is the way that major new strains come into being. Another possibility is that two animal influenza strains may recombine in a pig, for example, to produce a new strain which is transmitted to man.

单选题The idea of rain making is almost as old as man, but it was not until 1946 that man succeeded in making rain. In ancient times, rainmakers claimed(声称) to be able to bring rain by many methods: dancing, singing, killing various kinds of living creatures (including humans), and blowing a stream of water into the air from a kind of pipe. More recently, some rainmakers claimed to make rain by shooting guns, causing explosions, or burning chemicals, the smoke of which was supposed to cause rain to fall. These rainmakers asked for as much as 1,000 dollars to make an inch of rain. One was so effective that he was almost hanged. He was believed to have caused a twenty-inch rain in southern California that flooded that land, killed several people, and did millions of dollars' worth of damage. Before 1946, rainmakers were either liars or honest people who happened to have good luck. Scientific rain making was started in that year by Vincent J. Schaefer, a scientist at the laboratories of the General Electric Company in New York State. His success was the result of a lucky accident that changed years of failure into victory.
