I used to feel sleepy in class and I couldn¡¯t focus to my lessons. As a result, not only did I do badly in our studies, but also my health went from bad to worse, for that I was often scolded by my parents. I decide to change my situation. Half a year ago, followed my teacher¡¯s advice, I began to join some sports activities. I now play the basketball for 45 minutes every day. My health has improved, but at the same time, I¡¯ve made lots of progresses in my studies. Physical exercise has changed me into an entire new person.

MOOCs (Massive Open Online Courses) are free, but without tutoring, and are open to anyone, anywhere in the world. The courses are flexible ¡ª normally three to five hours of study a week ¡ª done at any time, short (5 to 10 weeks) and video-rich. They are also heavily dependent on crowd sourcing: you can discuss a course with fellow students through online forums, discussion boards and peer review. Students don¡¯t have to finish the courses, pass assessments or do assignments, but, if they do, they get a certification of participation.

The Open University launched FutureLearn, the UK¡¯s answer to US platforms such as Coursera, EdX and Udacity, which have been offering MOOCs from top US universities for the past two years. The response has been incredible, with more than three million people registering worldwide. Meanwhile, in 2012, Edinburgh University became the first non-US institution to join Coursera¡¯s partnership, comprising 13 universities. ¡°We already run 50 online master¡¯s degrees, so this was a logical expansion,¡± says Professor Jeff Haywood, Edinburgh¡¯s vice-principal. ¡°It¡¯s an investment in teaching methods research. How am I going to teach introductory philosophy to 100,000 people? That¡¯s what I call educational R&D.¡± He adds ¡°If you look ahead 10 years, you¡¯d expect all students graduating to have taken some online courses, so you¡¯ve got to research that. Our MOOCs are no more in competition with our degrees than a lifelong learning course because they don¡¯t carry credits.¡±

Cooperation is key, Haywood stresses. It is far better to offer 20-30 courses in your own areas of expertise (רÃż¼ÄÜ) and let other institutions do likewise. Professor Mike Sharples, FutureLearn¡¯s academic lead, goes further: ¡°We¡¯ve tied the elements available before into a package of courses offered by leading universities worldwide on a new software platform, with a new way of promoting it and also a new social-learning teaching method. You won¡¯t just receive an exam, but be able to discuss and mark each other¡¯s assignments.¡±

Bath University, one of more than 20 universities working with FutureLearn, launches its first course, Inside Cancer, next January, and regards MOOCs as a way of breaking down age barriers. ¡°There¡¯s no reason why someone doing GCSEs should not look at our MOOCs and get quite a way through them, or someone at PhD level and beyond,¡± says Professor Bernie Morley, expert for learning and teaching.

A. MOOCs have a platform for learners to share their learning experience

B. MOOCs provide teachers¡¯ instructions if you have some difficulty

C. MOOCs can be adjusted according to people¡¯s learning pace

I am always nervous when I get an email from my parents with "FYI(For Your Information)". My parents are in their late 70s, and while they are quite healthy for their ages, I worry about what messages they are going to give me.

I got such an email in September from my father. He sent an email from my cousin who told that her father, my uncle Reese, had passed away. The news made my mind go blank though I have met him less than a dozen times in my life, because Reese was the first of my parent¡¯s siblings(ÐֵܽãÃÃ) to die, and I was simply not ready for that.

The memorial service was set in Florida, and I quickly decided I needed to go. I needed to be there for my father, and I needed to go for myself. Reese is about nine years older than my father, and I started to do the math in my head. I know that doesn¡¯t make sense, but I will do anything to reason that I still have a lot of time before I am in my cousin¡¯s shoes.

Reese¡¯s memorial service was small with only family and perhaps a dozen of his friends. The funeral was attended by an even smaller number, and then, the family gathered at a nearby bar to look at old photographs found among Reese¡¯ possessions.

As we drove back to the Orlando International Airport, I thought about how I am not sure what my parents want, not only in their memorial services, but also how they want to be remembered and where they want to be laid to rest. These are going to be difficult conversations, but I know I need to have them. Maybe not right now, but we do need to open the discussion at some point. It may feel too early, but I trust my parents will know that when adult children raise these questions, we do it out of love to honor their lives and their wishes.

1. Why do emails with ¡°FYI¡± make the author uneasy?

A. She¡¯s too busy to read those emails.

B. She dislikes her parents¡¯ nonstop talking.

C. They often bring unpleasant news.

D. She¡¯s afraid to get bad news about her parents.

2.How did the author feel about the email from her cousin?

A. Disappointed. B. Shocked

C. Confused. D. Annoyed.

3.What do we know from the third and fourth paragraphs?

A. A get-together was held at home.

B. Reese¡¯s friends didn¡¯t appear.

C. Not many people attended the funeral.

D. The author hesitated to go to Florida.

4.What does the author decide to do after the funeral?

On a Friday night in May 2015, Oliver and Lone Kleven heard angry shouts coming from their front lawn. Lone, 68, stepped onto the porch and saw two men in dark clothes struggling with something on the ground¡ªright where she and her grandson had planted a flower bed the weekend before.

¡°Go fight somewhere else!¡± she shouted, worried her plants would get damaged. At the sound of her voice, the face of a boy appeared from beneath the two men. He looked 13 or 14 or so. ¡°They¡¯re trying to kill me!¡± the boy screamed. Lone ran toward them and, without hesitation, caught the boy¡¯s arm, pulling him out.

¡°Leave him alone!¡± she shouted. When the men stood up, Lone saw what looked like a sharp object in one man¡¯s hand. When she turned back toward the boy, he was moaning in pain and holding his stomach. The attackers began to move in on the boy again when Lone¡¯s husband shouted: ¡°Get lost!¡± The two men walked quickly and quietly across the street and drove off in a dark car.

¡°I have to get to the hospital!¡± the boy cried. He lifted his shirt, and Lone could see a bloody wound on his stomach. Oliver hugged the trembling boy while Lone caught her cell phone and car keys inside the house. She handed the phone to Oliver. ¡°Call 911,¡± she told him. ¡°I¡¯m going after them.¡± Lone took off but was unable to find the car.

The Klevens then learned what had happened. Earlier that night, as the boy waited for his parents to pick him up from the high school across the street from the Klevens¡¯ house, two men approached and demanded his wallet. When he refused, one of the men hit him in the face. The boy ran across the street. The men caught up with him, and one hurt him in the back and stomach with a sharp knife. That¡¯s when Lone stepped in.

The boy¡¯s wounds required operations, but he has fully recovered.

Many people now have problems with sleep. Drinking milk is helpful. A warm drink of milk before bed has long been the best choice for those wanting a good night¡¯s sleep. But now a study has found it really does help people nod off¡ªif it is milked from a cow at night.

Researchers have discovered that ¡°night milk¡± contains more melatonin(Íʺڼ¤ËØ), which has been proven to help people feel sleepy and reduce anxiety.

The study, by researchers from Seoul, South Korea, involved mice being fed with dried milk powder made from cows milked both during the day and at night.

Those given night milk, which contained 10 times the amount of melatonin, were less active and less anxious than those fed with the milk collected during daytime, according to the study published in The Journal of Medicinal Food.

Night milk quickened the start of sleep and caused the mice to sleep longer.

While the effect of cows milk harvested at different time has not been tested on humans up to now, taking melatonin drugs has been suggested to those who are struggling to fall asleep at night.

Previous studies have also indicated that milk can be excellent for helping sleep because of the calcium content, which helps people to relax.

Milk is also sugar-free and additive-free with nutritionists recommending skimmed milk as the best choice before bed as it is the least fattening. The more fat you take in before bedtime, the greater burden you will put on your body at night.

1.According to the text, the mice fed with daytime milk ________.

A. started sleep more easily

B. were more anxious

C. were less active

D. woke up later

2.Which of the following is true of melatonin according to the text?

A. It¡¯s been tested on mice for ten times.

B. It can make people more energetic.

C. It exists in milk in great amount.

D. It¡¯s used in sleeping drugs.

3.What can be a suitable title for the next?

A. Night Milk and Sleep

B. Fat, Sugar and Health

C. An Experiment on Mice

D. Milk Drinking and Health

4.How does the author support the theme of the text?

A. By giving examples.

B. By stating arguments.

C. By explaining statistical data.

D. By providing research results.

Thomas Edison was one of ten said to be the greatest genius£¨Ìì²Å£© of his age. There are only a few men in all of the history, who have changed the lives of other men as much as the inventor of the first useful electric light. But Edison could never be happy only because someone said he was a genius. ¡°There is no such thing as genius,¡± Edison said. He said that what people called genius was mostly hard work.

But Edison was a dreamer as well as a worker. From his earliest days as a child he wondered about the secrets of nature. Nature, he often said, is full of secrets. He tried to understand them; then, he tried to learn what could usefully be done with them.

Edison enjoyed thinking. He knew that most people will do almost anything instead of the difficult work of thinking, especially if they do not think very often. But he knew, too, that thinking can give men enjoyment and pleasure.

Edison could not understand how anyone could be uninterested in life. As he loved to think, he also loved to work. On the day he became 75 years old, someone asked him what ideas he had about life. ¡°Work,¡± he answered. ¡°Discovering the secrets of nature and using them to make men happier.¡± He said he had enough inventions in his mind to give him another 100 years of work.

1.Edison thought ________.

A. he could be happy if he was a genius

B. genius plays the most important part in one¡¯s success

C. hard work could do better than genius

D. genius could do better than hard work

2.In Edison¡¯s opinion, ________.

A. thinking can supply people with enjoyment and pleasure as well as help

B. people¡¯s success lies mostly in genius

C. hard work is the second important thing in making people successful

D. there are few secrets for him to discover later

3.The last sentence in the passage most probably implies(°µÊ¾£© ________.

A. life is too short for Edison to invent more for human beings

B. Edison made 100 inventions in his life

C. Edison was able to live and work for 100 years

Third-Culture Kids

Did you grow up in one culture, your parents came from another, and you are now living in a totally different country? If so, then you are a third-culture kid!

The term ¡°third-culture kid¡± (or TCK) was first used in the 1960s by Dr. Ruth. She first came across this phenomenon when she researched North American children living in India. Caught between two cultures, they form their very own. 1. About 90 percent of them have a university degree, while 40 percent pursue a postgraduate or doctor degree. They usually benefit from their intercultural experience, which helps them to grow into successful academics and professionals.

2. In fact many hardships may arise from this phenomenon. A third-culture kid may not be able to adapt themselves completely to their new surroundings as expected. Instead, they may always remain an outsider in different host cultures. Max, for example, experienced this feeling of strangeness throughout his life as a third-culture kid. 3. While this can be a way to create a network of friends all around the world, it can be difficult for a third-culture kid like Max to maintain close friendships and relationships.

For a third-culture kid, it is often easier to move to a new foreign country than to return to their ¡°home¡± country. After living in Australia and South Korea for many years, Louis finally returned to Turkey as a teenager. But she felt out of place when she returned to the country where she was born. 4. She did not share the same values as her friends¡¯ even years after going back home.

While a third-culture kid must let go of his/her identity as a foreigner when he/she returns, the home country can prove to be more foreign than anything he/she came across before. The peer group they face does not match the idealized(ÀíÏ뻯µÄ) image children have of ¡°home¡±. 5.

As a part of the growing ¡°culture¡±, TCKs may find it a great challenge for them to feel at home in many places.

A. This often makes it hard for them to form their own identity.

B. Yet being a third-culture kid is not always easy.

C. In general, they often reach excellent academic results.

D. However, their parents can help them see the opportunities of a mobile lifestyle.

E. Their experience abroad helps them to understand cultural differences better.

F. Additionally, making new friends and saying goodbye to old ones will at some point become routine for a third-culture kid.

G. Unlike other teens of her age, she didn¡¯t know anything about current TV shows or fashion trends.

The stories we share with one another are important. They show wisdom and provide inspiration. They are important to our development. But sometimes people choose not to tell.

Consider the negative effects of not sharing a story in the news: People are wondering if public health officials are holding back too much information about the recent outbreak of Ebola.

There is a danger in holding back stories that ought to be told. Bobette Buster said it like this, ¡°The fact is, history has shown us that stories not told can become like a dangerous genie (Ñý¹Ö) left in a bottle. When they are finally uncorked, their power to destroy is set free.¡±

There are a number of reasons why we hide parts of our story: they often show our weaknesses or expose our disadvantages; they require courage and strength to share; and of course, there are some stories that should be kept secret¡ªespecially those that embarrass someone else.

Most of us have two selves: the one we display on the outside and the one we actually are on the inside. And the better we get at hiding the stories that show our true selves, the more damage we may be causing to ourselves and to others.

Honesty and openness is important: It proves we are trustworthy. It displays we are human. We are not perfect or better. It highlights the importance of hard work and personal development. Hard work may not allow us to overcome our disadvantages completely. But with hard work, we do not have to be restricted to our mistakes.

Does this mean we admit every weakness, every disadvantage, and every secret regret to everybody we meet? No, of course not. There is a time and a place and a certain level of relationship necessary for some stories to be told in an appropriate manner.

1.What¡¯s the function of the example in Paragraph 2?

A. It reflects that people are concerning about the spread of Ebola.

B. It shows the bad effect caused by sharing a story.

C. It proves not sharing a story can cause trouble.

D. It concludes that one should share a story at a proper time.

2.One of the reasons why people are unwilling to share experiences is that _______.

A. story-sharing highlights the importance of hard work

B. people are used to exposing their weaknesses

C. people sometimes have no courage to share their stories

D. some stories make themselves feel uneasy

3.Which is close in meaning to the underlined word ¡°uncorked¡± in Paragraph 3?

A. freed B. broken C. unfolded D. untouched

4.The writer aims to convince us to _______.

A. be open to people close to you by sharing some secrets

B. share stories appropriately for the good of others and ourselves

C. remove the dangers that can be caused by untold stories

D. realize the importance of being honest when making friends
