Questions are based on the following talk about computer science education in Switzerland.
Here in Switzerland you get a bachelor’s degree in two years and three years later a master’s. Usually, people stop at a master’s, but if you want to go on for a Ph.D., that takes another four years. Most people stay in one subject, so you need to decide the direction you want to take after high school.
There are required core courses for bachelor’s and master’s programs. My university is a technical university, so the core courses are the same for everybody — computer science, mathematics, physics, mechanics and so on.
For students specializing in computer science, there is another set of required courses that we call basic computer science. Completing these takes two years. At that point, you can choose a specialty in one of the four areas — system software, information technology, hardware or theoretical computer science.<

B. Students doing a Bachelor.
C. Students doing a Master.

Questions 11 to 13 are based on the following talk on the world’s changing climate. You now have 15 seconds to read Questions 11 to 13.
Let me begin this commentary on the world’s changing climate by saying that climatology, the study of long-range trends in weather, is at best an inexact science. It is based on hypotheses. Currently, a major argument among climatologists concerns the long-range weather outlook for the earth. The question that occupies them so much is this: Is the earth cooling off, or is it in fact heating up Is the earth going through a cooling trend or a warming trend A cooling trend could bring mass starvation and fuel shortage. But on the other hand, a warming trend could melt the polar ice caps and cause flooding of the coastal cities of the world. In either case, the consequences for man might be alarming, and possibly disastrous. Let me just point out that rains and floods of record proportions have recently struck some geographic area

The proverb "One man’s meat is another man’s poison" applies to table manners as well. To put it more simply, something which is rude in one country may well be quite polite in another.

And in Japan you needn’t worry about making a noise when you drink it. Noisily drinking your soup, and any other food you happen to be eating, is quite acceptable and shows that you are enjoying it. That’s not true in Britain, however.
In Britain, we try not to put our hands or elbows on the table at all during a meal. In Mexico, however, guests are supposed to keep their hands on the table throughout a meal. But it is in the Arab countries where we really must
