Of course, she can‘t hang up. She thinks that in the end she‘ll give up her job because she suffers from stress. When the phone rings at home, she jumps. She wants to disconnect the phone, but her husband needs it for his work.

7.In the 13th century rioting between town and gown (townspeople and
students) caused the establishment of primitive «halls of residence». These succeeded by the first of Oxford‘s colleges. Until 1871 the university was only for men. From 1878 academic «halls of residence» were established for women who became members of the university. In the 1970‘s most colleges opened their doors to both men and women.
8. Oxford is an independent and self-governing institution consisting of the central university and colleges. Each college offers teaching in a wide range of subjects, has its name and coat of arms. The colleges, though independent and selfgoverning, form a core element of the university.
9. The different spheres in which the University and Colleges are active usually respect the historical development of the University. Colleges select and admit students; provide accommodation, meals, common rooms, libraries, sports and social facilities for their students.
The University determines the content of course; organizes lectures and seminars; sets and marks examinations; awards degrees.
10. As one of the leading international universities Oxford attracts scholars from all over the world. Each year Oxford welcomes talented students from all over the globe.
The programs of study aim to make students think logically and independently. Oxford is one of the largest and most prestigious universities in the world. It has strong links with research institutions and with business and industry, both in the United Kingdom and overseas.

University of London
1. The University of London is a federation of more than 50 British institutions of higher learning, located primarily in London. Its department of extra-mural studies enrols nearly 12,000 persons. One of the colleges, Birkbeck
College, accepts for undergraduate work ―only part-time students who earn their living during the day‖.
2. The university was a product of the Liberal movement of the 19th century. Following a call by poet Thomas Campbell in 1825 for a university to provide education for the class between the ―mechanics‖ and the ―enormously rich,‖ liberals and religious dissenters founded London University (now University College) in 1826; instruction began in 1828. In 1836 University College had to join forces with King‘s College and the University of London was created as an
38
administrative entity that would hold no classes of its own but would examine and grant degrees to the students of the two colleges.
3. Under the Supplemental Charter of 1849, it became possible for students from any institution of higher learning anywhere in the British Empire to be examined by the university and awarded a University of London degree. Students from institutions as different as the University of Oxford and the Working Men's College of London thereby could become recipients of London degrees. In 1858 students who were not enrolled in any institution were allowed to become degree candidates.
4. By the early 20th century many other institutions had been affiliated with the university, including the London School of Economics and Political Science, now an internationally respected centre for the study of social science; and three institutions that later became the Imperial College of Science and Technology. In 1900 the university was authorized to begin offering its own courses.
Notes:
1.following a call – в ответ на призыв
2.dissenter – раскольник, диссидент; dissenters -диссентеры
(распространенное в XVI - XVII в.в. в Англии название лиц, не согласных с вероучением и культом англиканской церкви)
3. under the Supplemental Charter – в соответствии с дополнением к уставу
