问题     Many teachers believe that the responsibility for learning lies with the student. If a long reading assignment is given, teachers expect students to be familiar with the information in the reading even if they do not discuss it in class or give an examination. The ideal student is considered to be one who is motivated to learn for the sake of learning, not the one only interested in getting high grades. When research is assigned, the professor expects the student to take the initiative and to complete the assignments with minimal guidance. Professors will help students who need it, but prefer that their students not be overly dependent on them. In the United States, professors have other duties besides teaching. Often they are responsible for administrative work within their departments. In addition, they may be obliged to publish articles and books. Therefore, the time that a professor can spend with a student outside of class is limited. If a student have problems with classroom work, the student should either approach a professor during office hours or make an appointment.
    Participation in the classroom is not only accepted but also expected of the students in many courses. Some professors base part of the final grade on the student’s oral participation. Although there are formal lectures during which the student has a passive role ( i. e. listening and taking notes) many courses are organized around classroom discussions, students questions, and informal lectures.
    In the teaching of science and mathematics , the dominant mode of instruction is generally traditional, with teachers presenting formal lectures and students taking notes. However, new educational , sociology, and psychology classes, for example, are often required to solve problems in groups, design projects, make presentations and examine case studies. Since some college or university courses are"applied" rather than theoretical, they stress "doing"and involvement.
Which of the following is not the duty of an American Professor?

选项 A、Solving the students’ problems during office hours.
B、Being responsible for some administrative work.
C、Publishing articles and books.
D、Spending a lot of time with the students out of class.
