【题目】根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

Choosing a major is an important decision and one that could pave the way for a successful, lifelong career. Some students know what they want to major in right away, while others take their sweet time to choose. 【1】 Here are a few tips on how to choose a major:

Know your strengths. It can help you narrow down your options and find an area of study that suits you well. If you’re not certain what your strengths are, talk to your advisor and a career counselor(顾问) to assess your strengths and apply them to a major. 【2】 Just because that your’re good at science doesn’t necessarily mean you’re prepared for advanced biology and chemistry classes, or weekly three-hour labs spent observing animals.

Talk to upperclassmen. Upperclassmen have been in your shoes and know how hard it can be to choose a major. 【3】 They can give you first-hand accounts of taking advanced courses and how to avoid switching majors halfway through college. Talking to upperclassmen about their majors will give you a better understanding of what each program undertakes and what to expect. They can also give you advice on which classes you should take, the best professors in the college and guaranteed ways to get an A.

【4】 Regardless of what your parents, friends or advisors tell you, choosing a major is your decision and you should do what you love. Students may feel pressured to choose a major based on career salaries and job outlook(前景). 【5】 If you’re stuck studying something you hate, chances are that you won’t do very well in your classes and you may end up never using your degree.

A. Follow your heart.

B. Talk to people in the area.

C. Either way, don’t worry.

D. They won’t sugarcoat things, either.

E. It’s also important to know your limits.

F. Before you settle on a particular major, find out more.

G. However, it’s far more important that you follow your passion.
