B.

Read the passage carefully, then choose the correct answer.
Normally a student must attend a certain number of courses in order to graduate, and each
course which he attends gives him a credit which he may count towards a degree. In many
American universities the total work for a degree consists of three classes per week for fifteen
weeks; while attending university a student will probably attend two terms each year. It is possible
to spread to period of work for the degree over a longer period. It is also possible for a student to
move between one university and another during his degree course, thougn this is not in fact done
as a regular practice.
For every course that he follows a student is given a grade, which is recorded, and the record
is useful for the student to show to coming employers. Most of the students feel the pressure of
work, but in spite of this some students still find time for great activity in student affairs. The
students are interested in elections to positions in student organization. The effective work of
keeping orders is usually performed by students who advise the university authorities. Any student
who is thought to have broken the rules, for example, by cheating has to appear before a student
court. With the large numbers of students, the operation of the system includes a certain amount of
activity. A student who has held one of these positions is much respected and it will be of
importance to him later in his career.
