Question

Have you ever got stuck with unwanted courses or a class schedule that cannot be changed? If so, that's because you don't know how to select the perfect sch

edule. But by following a few simple steps, you can begin any term with the right courses at the most convenient times.

First, you must find the right courses. These are the ones that have the least amount of work, the fewest tests and the kindest professors. Ask your friends about courses in which they received A's after attending only 70 percent of the classes. Ask around, too, to see which instructors have given the same tests for the last fifteen years. Photocopies of these tests are usually cheap and can be easily found in school. Then, pick up a copy of the master schedule and study it carefully. Find the course titles that mean an easy pass for a painless subject.

Look for titles like “Arts and Crafts for Beginners” and “Rock Music of the 1950s”.

Next, when you have got lists of easy instructors and subjects, you can begin to select your time periods. If you stay up late in order to watch old movies, you may want a daily schedule that begins no sooner than noon. You should schedule only afternoon courses, too, if you're one of those people who hate to leave a warm bed in the morning. On the other hand, if you are a person who gets out of bed at dawn, you may want to get your classes out of the way as early as possible. That way you have the rest of the day free. Morning classes are also necessary if you are a soap opera(肥皂劇) fan.

Finally, you want your schedule to pass through registration successfully. The main way to do this is to register(注冊) early. If a course does happen to be closed because you simply couldn't register at 7:00 am, you may still be able to get in. Talk to the professor and tell him or her that a serious and hardworking student like yourself would be a shining example to other students. Be sure to carry a list of back-up courses to registration, though, just in case one of your chosen classes changes professors or time periods.

By following these suggestions, any student can pick the perfect class schedule. College can thus become an almost pleasant activity.

解析:

1.這是一道細(xì)節(jié)題。從第二段最后兩句話可知，“Rock Music of the 1950s”可能是一門比較容易的課程。答案為B。 

2.這是一道細(xì)節(jié)題。從第三段倒數(shù)第三句話可知如果起得早，可以選擇早上的課程。答案為A。 

3.這是一道細(xì)節(jié)題。倒數(shù)第二段倒數(shù)第二句話表明，如果某門課程已經(jīng)結(jié)束，盡管你沒注冊上，但你可以從教授那兒得到幫助，而有可能選修上這門課程。答案為D。 

4.這是一道主旨題。縱觀全文，第一段提出了“How to select the perfect schedule”，后面的二、三、四段分別從選擇合適的課程、合適的時間、合適的注冊三個方面建議你如何選擇一個更適合自己的學(xué)業(yè)。
