    Eleven top universities are joining the Open University to launch free Internet courses. King’s College London, along with the Universities of Birmingham, Bristol, Cardiff, East Anglia, Exeter, Lancaster, Leeds, Southampton, St Andrews and Warwick, has partnered with FutureLearn, a company set up by the Open University that will offer free and non-credit bearing courses to Internet-users around the world.
    The courses are modeled on the US phenomenon “Massive open online courses” ( Moocs ), which have attracted millions of users around the world and are especially popular in emerging economies.
    FutureLearn will improve UK institutions for international students, said Prof Martin Bean, voice-chancellor of the Open University. “At the moment, foreign students’ perception of UK Universities is: wonderful history, great tradition, really good teaching, but a bit boring.”
    Leeds University says the partnership will benefit students studying on campus. “Students will have access to a rich set of resources from both Leeds and our partners. They can also broaden their education beyond their main subject areas.”
    The UK higher education industry stands among the top five export earners for Britain Moocs have grown rapidly in the US over the past year, with two providers leading the field. Coursera offers courses from 33 Universities, including Princeton, Brown, Columbia and Duke, and has reached more than 1.7 million users, EdX, a nonprofit start-up from Harvard and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology courses this autumn.
    Simon Nelson, one of the key architects of BBC Online, will head FutureLearn as launch CEO. “It’s really meaningful for these universities to come together –we’ll punch much harder collectively than any other university will individually,” he said.
    Partner Institutions will be responsible for their own content while the OU, which has been providing distance-learning courses since 1971, will assist with course delivery and infrastructure. Details of further universities will be revealed next year, as will the courses on offer.

    Why are medical dramas so popular?

      Why are we so fascinated by medical dramas? From the high drama of Casualty and ER to the squeamish reality of Embarrassing Bodies and One Born Every Minute, it is hard to look away. Books with a medical or health theme are equally popular on best-selling lists.

      When it comes to how our bodies function and malfunction, we are hooked. Without doubt, medical science is a rich source of stories. The popularity of all forms of medical-based drama suggests that we love to watch and read about people dealing with pain and discomfort, facing problems we fear we might face too at some point in our lives. Prof George Ikkos, president of the Royal Society of Medicine’s psychiatry section, says it is more to do with learning about ourselves from other people. The integrity of our body is extremely important. We should be concerned about our own body and that lies at the heart of it. Programmes like Casualty are dramatic and exciting—they involve a lot of ordinary people we can relate to directly. "It’s not like watching something about nuclear physics or stamp collecting."

      Prof Ikkos says: "Well-informed programmes can be helpful but people engage at different levels, from the highbrow to the lowbrow, depending on how people relate to what they are watching." There is, of course, no research to confirm whether these dramas improve our understanding of medical matters or change our knowledge of health issues. Some fly-on-the-wall medical shows may simply be a popular form of voyeurism(窥探者). "But they do give information that is helpful. I would not want to discourage them," Prof Ikkos adds.

      The themes of health, medicine and science are also at the heart of many works of popular fiction and non-fiction. Best-selling novels such as Before I Go To Sleep by SJ Watson and Me Before You by Jojo Moyes tackle the subjects of long-term memory loss and life as a paraplegic(高位截瘫的人). Thomas Wright, whose new book Circulation—a biography of the 17th Century physician William Harvey—won the Wellcome Trust Book Prize this week, does not need to be convinced about the power of medical history. He was attracted to the story behind Harvey’s discovery that the heart was the principal organ of the body, pumping blood through veins and arteries with an incredible force. During an experiment, Wright says, Harvey cut the aorta(主动脉) of an animal and the blood dashed out with such force and quantity that it splattered the room. "It was so shocking to people who thought blood flowed slowly around the body. It’s an image that stayed in my mind."That dramatic scene opens Wright’s book and he returns to it at the end too. Back then, people did not have much faith in physicians and many did not believe that medicine would be able to help or cure them, if they could afford to go to them in the first place. As a result, Harvey had a tough time convincing people of his theories.

    Wright says how we view doctors and their methods has changed greatly since then and that could explain the popularity of medical dramas."Now we look to doctors and scientists for answers—we hope that they can overcome illness and death. We put them on a pedestal. Just the act of going to a doctor makes me feel better, but that builds expectations and pressure too."Wright hopes his book will appeal to the same audience who watch the blood-stained medical dramas on TV.

    63. People like to watch and read medical drama because________.

    A. they want to form of medical-based drama

    B. they want to read a rich source of stories.

    C. they want to deal with pain and discomfort

    D. they might face the similar situation in their life

    64. According to prof Ikkos, which statement is right?

    A. We can cure ourselves from dramas.

    B. Pro Ikkos will improve medical drama show.

    C. Different people can learn from the medical dramas.

    D. There is no specific research to confirm medical matters.

    65. Harvey’s experiment of cutting the aorta tells us_________.

    A. the heart was the principal organ of the body

    B. the heart in the animal can press the blood dash

    C. in the 17th century, medical knowledge was convinced

    D. in the 17th century, animal was used in medical operation

    66. Which of the following shows the structure of the passage?

    A.       B.

    C.           D.

    CP: central Point     P: Point      SP: Sun-point (次要点)     C: Conslusion
