Questions are based on the following monologue.
Today, we discuss one way foreign students earn money while attending graduate school in the United States. They can work as teaching assistants.
Teaching assistants are known as T-A’s for short. They usually work about twenty hours each week. They are paid to help college professors teach large numbers of students in lower level classes. Generally, the professor gives a talk or lecture to all the students in a large class one or two times a week. The teaching assistant leads another, smaller, class each week. The teaching assistant gives tests and reads any homework or reports the students may be required to write. T-A’s also meet with individual students seeking help. They attend teaching meetings. And they help organize laboratory equipment if they are helping to teach a science class.

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.<
A. Because it covers a wide range of areas.
B. Because it is sponsored by the government.
C. Because it gives more emphasis to application.
D. Because it gets grants from companies for research.
