Compact discs (CD’s) have revolutionized the music industry with their surprisingly realistic sound The six-inch discs look like thin, plastic sandwiches with aluminum in the center They have digitally recorded material that is read by laser beams, so the sound has none of the cracking sound of vinyl records

VII Read the passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the following
questions
Although most universities in the United States are on semester system, which offers classes in the fall and spring, some schools observe a quarter system comprised of fall, winter, spring and summer quarter The academic year, September
to June, is divided into three quarters of eleven weeks each, beginning in September, January, and March ; the summer quarter, June to August, is composed of shorter sessions of varying length
There are several advantages and disadvantages to the quarter system On the plus side, students who wish to
complete three degrees in less than the customary four years may take advantage of the opportunity to study year round by
enrolling in all four quarters In addition, although most students begin their programs in the fall quarter, they may enter at the beginning of any of the other quarters Finally, since the physical facilities are kept in operation year round, the resources are used efficiently to serve the greatest number of students But there are several disadvantages as well Many
faculty complain that the eleven-week term is simply not long enough for them to cover the material required by most
college courses Students also find it difficult to complete the assignments in such a short period of time
In order to combine the advantages of the quarter system with those of the semester system, some colleges and
universities have instituted a three-term trimester system In fourteen weeks, faculty and students have more time to cover
material and finish course requirements, but the additional term provides more options for admission during the year and accelerates the degree programs for those students who wish to graduate early
