successful man. he had worked up a first class business, married a charming woman and built himself a good house in the london suburbs, that was neither so modern, nor so conventional . he had good taste. his son, bob, 19, was doing well at oxford; his daughter, april, aged 16, who was at a good school, had no wish to use make-up or wear low dresses. she still considered herself too young for these things. yet she was happy, affectionate and thoroughly enjoyed life. all the same, for some time, tom had been aware that he was working hard for very little. his wife gave him a quick kiss in the morning when he left for the office and, if she was not at a party, a quick kiss in the evening when he came home. it was obvious her life was completely filled with the children, her clothes,

universities the total work for a degree consists of thirty-six courses each lasting for one semester. a typical course consists of three classes per week for 15 weeks: while attending a university a student will probably attend four or five courses during each semester. normally a student would expect to take four years attending two semesters each year. it is possible to spread the 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, though 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 available for the student to show to prospective employers. all this imposes a constant pressure and strain of work, but in spite of this some students still find time for great activity in student affairs. elections to positions in student organizations arouse much enthusiasm. the effective work of maintaining discipline is performed by students who advise the academic authorities. any student who is thought to have broken the rules, for example, by cheating has to appear before a student court. with the enormous number of students, the operation of the system does involve a certain amount of activities. a student who has held one of these positions of authority is much respected and it will be of benefit to him later in his career.71)normally a student would at least attend _b_ classes each week.a. 36b. 20c. 12d. 1572)according to the first paragraph an
