Passage 2
The year at an American college is divided into 2 semesters or 3 quarters.Semesters are 15 weeks； quarters are 10 weeks.Americ- an college students usually attend school from September to May.They can also study during the summer.Students choose their classes a few weeks before the start of each term.Universities offer (提供) a great many classes in the students' main area of study and in other areas as well.Students must take both.These include (包括) science,math,computer,hist- ory and English.Other classes may be just for fun,like dance,th- eater or sports.Tests usually are given in the middle of the term and at the end.The final exams are very important.In some class- es,the professor (教授） asks the students to write a research pa- per instead of taking a test.
Classes usually are organized through lectures (讲座) .For example,a student may attend 2 or 3 lectures a week by the professor.As many as several hundred students sit at each lecture.Sometimes they also attend a smaller class to ask questions and discuss what the professor says.These small classes are taught by professor's assistants.In science classes,students also have a long laboratory (实验的) class each week.

第2段
美国大学一年有两个学期或三季度.一学期有15周,一季度有10周.美国的大学生上学时间通常从九月份到次年五月份.他们也可以在暑期学习.同学们在每学期开学之前会选择几个星期上课.大学里为同学们提供了许多可供他们学习的主要课程以及其它课程.学生们必须都要学习.包括科学、数学、计算机、历史和英语.其它的课程可能是供娱乐的,如舞蹈、戏剧或者体育.通常会设置期中考试和期末考试.期末考试是最重要的.有些课堂上,教授会叫学生们写一份研究报告替代测试.
通常是以讲座的形式上课的.例如,一个学生一周可能参加教授的2个或3个讲座.每堂讲座都有多达数百名的学生参加.有时他们也参加一些小型的讲座以便提问或者讨论教授讲的什么内容.这些小型讲座是由助教讲授的.在科学课上,学生们每周都有一节很长的实验课.
