17.International students are allowed to work for the university they study at or for a business at the school.But the business must directly provide a service for students.Also,a foreign student cannot take the place of an American in a job.
International students can work 20hours a week while having classes; more during school breaks.You can work until you finish your studies.
Foreign students normally cannot take a job that has nothing to do with their schools.But the government may give permission if students are suddenly faced with difficulties.Examples include large medical bills,the shortage of financial aid or an unexpected change in the financial support.
Students must also meet other conditions.They must have studied at their American schools for at least one year.Students must ask for permission again after a year if they want to continue an off-campus job.
Foreign students who will be studying at graduate schools can ask for some jobs before they come to the United States.A good example is a university job like a teaching or research assistant.
Some schools pay their assistants.Others provide free education in return.Many do both.Graduate assistants might teach,give tests,grade work,help with research and clean the offices.Many universities now provide language training for foreign teaching assistants to help them improve their English.Some schools ask foreign students to pass an English speaking test before they are allowed to teach.

分析 本文寫了外國(guó)留學(xué)生在美國(guó)資金上有困難的學(xué)生可以到校外工作,以及校外工作的要求.
解答 32.A 細(xì)節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)第六段第四句Graduate assistants might teach,give tests,grade work,help with research and clean the offices可知,研究生助教可以教學(xué)、給學(xué)生測(cè)驗(yàn)、評(píng)分、協(xié)助研究、打掃辦公室,不包含A項(xiàng).
33.A 細(xì)節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)第三段最后一句話the shortage of financial aid or an unexpected change in the financial support可知,資金上有困難的學(xué)生可以到校外工作,所以答案選A.
34.C 詞義猜測(cè)題.根據(jù)最后一段中的"by working off-campus without permission-could be sent home"可推知,來(lái)自外國(guó)的學(xué)生若違反簽證的規(guī)定就有可能被遣送回國(guó),故畫線詞意為"違反",與go against同義.故選C.
35.B 推理判斷題.由文章首段可推知,外國(guó)學(xué)生在美國(guó)半工半讀期間是不能完全隨意地選擇工作的.所以答案選B.
