Scott Anderson teaches philosophy at the University of British Columbia in Canada.He sees both good and bad sides to MOOCs.Scott Anderson says,"There are pails that will be tine,insofar as mostly when students listen to a lecture.there is no special reason why they need to be physically present to hear and get it."Mr.Anderson says increased numbers of students in MOOCs can mean less communication between them and teachers.He says two ways to deal with this are.by adding more teachers and setting up online discussion groups.
Lisa Jadwin teaches English and American literature and writing at St.John Fisher College in New York.She says online education has some weaknesses for her subjects.
She says,"What's lost in online education is face-to-face interaction.And that old-fashioned approuch is not going to be replaced very quickly by computer-aided instrnction."Professor Jadwin says some students could learn very well from talks and reading assignments,blogs and discussion groups.But she believes that hybrid courses work best.She describes hybrids as mixing face-to-face course elements with computer-aided teaching and writing proiects.
Bill Pogue teaches communications at the University of Houston-Downtown.He sees good value in online education.He noted a strong sense of communitv in an online ciyrse he once took.He said the students worked together on a project while living on four continents.

19."When I grow up,I want to be…"
Almost all of us have thought about,or been asked to think about,our future careers.Our answers may differ greatly.Even now your aspirations(志向,抱負)may have changed from when you were in primary school.
However,it seems that career choices aren't only based on personal taste.In a survey carried out by Teens,doctors,lawyers,and bankers were some of most popular careers that people said they hoped to follow.This is similar to a survey carried out in the UK in May 2016by job website-Co.uk,in which medicine was the top choice among UK teenagers aged between 13and 17.
Medicine and law are two of the oldest and best known professions.Their prestige (威望) may come from the fact that doctors and lawyers are muchrespected members of society,and they make good money.What's more,these professions are often seen as a sign of upward social class.
It is equally unsurprising that banking is now one of the most common career choices.Youngsters worldwide think of banking and see the money rolling in.Wealth is increasingly becoming one of the most important indicators(標志) of a successful career.
However,not every child has the makings of doctor,lawyer,or banker.They are those who see achievement and happiness in other areas.As the Teens'survey discovered,a variety of unconventional(非傳統(tǒng)的) jobs-coffee shop owner,waiter at a fast food restaurant-are among teenagers'career choices.They can be equally interesting and rewarding jobs.
With every choice comes responsibility and challenge,and all career paths require specific education and training,you have to learn to balance optimism(樂觀主義)and confidence with being realistic about your particular talents and skills.
32.What is the passage mainly about?A
A.Careers in teenagers'mind.
B.Choosing a good job is very important.
C.Teenagers in the UK like doctors.
D.The choice of career needs challenge.
33.What is the top career choice among UK teenagers aged between 13and 17according to the article?A
A.Medicine.
B.Law.
C.Bank.
D.Education.
34.All of the following are the benefits of being a doctor or a lawyer exceptB.
A.respect from others  
B.the oldest profession
C.high pay  
D.upward social class
35.What can be learned from the last two paragraphs?B
A.Careers such as waiters are not as rewarding as doctors and lawyers.
B.Specific education and training can help get a good job.
C.Responsibility is the most important when you choose a good job.
D.Optimism and confidence is more important than being realistic when choosing careers.

The idea came from the bridegroom's father,Ted,who volunteers for a Turkish relief organization.For the past few years,the organization has distributed daily meals to thousands of people who've suffered from natural disasters.He approached a representative of the organization and suggested that the family cover part of the costs of feeding them for the day.
Then he told his son,who was surprised by the suggestion,but soon won over.When he told that to the bride,she was really shocked but finally accepted because in southeastern Turkey there is a real culture of sharing with people in need.They love to share their food,their table and everything they have.And afterwards she was quite amazed about it.So,they arrived at the distribution center on Thursday to spend the day serving food and taking photographs with their grateful recipients(接受者).
On Tuesday evening,the newly married couple were still pleased with their decision to quit a personal celebration for one with a greater good."It's like sharing a dinner with your friends and family who have this kind of thing on a daily basis or sharing something with people who don't even have the most basic things,"Michael said."Hopefully,this will also give the start for other wedding dinners to be held here with our brothers and sisters in need."
21.Why did so many people crowd in Kilis?B
A.To attend Michael and Linda's wedding.
 B.To escape the damaging earthquake.
C.To support the organization.
D.To help distribute free daily meals.
22.How did the couple celebrate their wedding?C
A.They treated their friends and relatives to a big dinner.
B.They afforded the entire cost of the day for feeding victims.
C.They shared their happiness with the homeless in Kilis.
D.They took photos with the grateful victims.
23.What does the underlined word"approached"in Paragraph 2mean?A
A.consulted with     
B.moved towards       
C.came across        
D.took in
24.We can know from the text thatD.
A.Michael doubted if more new couples would follow him
B.Ted was a representative of the organization
C.Linda adopted the suggestion immediately she heard it
D.Kilis is a place which lies in southeastern Turkey.

14.TAIBEI-Increasing numbers of Taiwanese students are joining the island's"China rush",seeking education on the Chinese mainland.
According to official Chinese figures,the number of Taiwanese students admitted into college and postgraduate(研究生)programs on the mainland totaled 1461 in 2006,1928 in 2007 and 1839 in 2008.Although no latest official numbers were available,Netbig.Com said this number had risen between 30 to 50 percent annually in the past two years with over 2000 entering mainland campuses last year.
The Internet site,based in the Chinese city of Shenzhen,provides education service and information on Chinese mainland college and universities."Many Taiwanese believe a Chinese education giving more knowledge about the people and culture in the mainland will increase their chances in the Chinese job market",Nethig.Com vice-president Ingrid Huang said."I believe it will give me hands-on experience in the business field on the Chinese mainland and a better understanding of the Chinese mainland people,"said Lydia Chang,a 19-year-old student majoring in journalism at Shih Shin University.Chang plans to go on to get a master's degree in business administration in Shanghai,which she says offers the best environment for such studies.
A journalism graduate student,surnamed Lin,at the National Taiwan University said he would like to study law on the Chinese mainland since"there will be better career prospects now that more Taiwanese companies are going there"."They hope the children could build up connections which could later become useful in their business operations,"said Yang Ching-yao,professor of the Chinese mainland studies.A Netbig.Com survey showed the campuses favored by Taiwan students included Beijing,Qinghua and Renmin universities in Beijing,and Jinan and Zhongshan universities in Guangzhou.The most popular studies were law,business and Chinese medicine.
At present,Chinese Taibei doesn't recognize diplomas earned on the Chinese mainland nor help with any inquiries about studying there.But recognizing the trend,education authorities are giving a final form to a policy accepting certificates from selected universities.
63.Why do more Taiwanese students study on the Chinese mainland?D
A.Because the fees asked for are lower than those of Taiwan.
    B.Because Taiwan will reunite with the mainland sooner or later.
    C.Because there are many famous universities for them to choose.
    D.Because what they have learned on the mainland will bring them a bright future.
64.The underlined word"it"in the third paragraph meansD.
    A.Netbig.Com                         B.the university
    C.the Chinese job market              D.a Chinese education on the mainland
65.The purpose of the article is to tell usA.
    A.more Taiwanese students are going to universities on the mainland
    B.Taiwan and the mainland should cooperate with each other in every field
    C.education on the mainland is more attractive compared with that of Taiwan
D.the number of Taiwanese students studying on the mainland has been decreasing
66.Which of the following is true according to the passage?C
    A.Education of Taiwan is far behind the mainland.
    B.Chinese Taibei recognizes diplomas earned on the Chinese mainland.
    C.Chinese Taibei doesn't help with any inquiries about Taiwanese studying on the mainland.
    D.The number of Taiwanese students who go to study on the mainland will certainly be increasing in the near future.

1.I am a good mother to three children.I have tried never to let my profession stand in the way of being a good parent.
I no longer consider myself the center of the universe.I show up.I listen.I try to laugh.I am a good friend to my husband.I have tried to make marriage vows mean what they say.I am a good friend to my friends,and they to me.Without them,there would be nothing to say to you today.
So here's what I want to tell you today:Get a life.A real life,not a desire of the next promotion,the bigger paycheck,the larger house.
Get a life in which you are not alone.Find people you love,and who love you.And remember that love is not leisure (休閑),it is work.Pick up the phone.Send an email.Write a letter.And realize that life is the best thing and that you have no business taking it for granted.
It is so easy to waste our lives,our days,our hours,and our minutes.It is so easy to exist instead of to lie.I learnt to live many years ago.Something really,really bad happened to me,something that changed my life in ways that,if I had my choice,it would never have been changed at all.And what I learned from it is what,today,seems to be the hardest lesson of all.
I learned to love the journey,not the destination.I learned to look at all the good in the world and try to give some of it back because I believed in it,completely and totally.And I tried to do that,in part,by telling others what I had learned.
By telling them this:Read in the backyard with the sun on your face.Learn to be happy.And think of life as a deadly illness,because if you do,you will live it with joy and passion (激情) as it ought to be lived.

18.Traditional fairytales are being abandoned by parents because they are too scary for their young children,a study found.
    Research revealed one in five parents has ditched old classics such as Snow White and the Seven Dwarves and Rapunzel in favour of more modern books.One third of parents said their children have been left in tears after hearing the horrible details of Little Red Riding Hood.And nearly half of mothers and fathers refuse to read Rumplestiltskin to their kids as the themes of the story are kidnapping and execution.Similarly,Goldilocks and the Three Bears was also a tale likely to be left on the book shelf as parents felt it forgives stealing.
    The survey of 2,000 adults was conducted to mark the launch of the hit US drama GRIMM,which starts tonight at 9pm on Watch,and sees six episodes based on traditional fairytales.The poll found a quarter of parents polled wouldn't consider reading a fairytale to their child until they had reached the age of five,as they prompt too many awkward questions from their offspring.
Steve Hornsey,General Manager of Watch,said:"Bedtime stories are supposed to soothe children and send them off to sleep soundly.But as we see in GRIMM,fairytales can be dark and dramatic tales so it's understandable that parents worry about reading them to young children."
"As adults we can see the innocence in fairytales,but a five year old with an over active imagination could take things too seriously.Despite the dark nature of classic fairytales,as we see in GRIMM,good will triumph over evil and there is always a moral to the story."
   The study also found two thirds of mums and dads try to avoid stories which might give their children nightmares.
   However,half of parents said traditional tales are more likely to have a strong moral message than a lot of modern kids'books,such as The Gruffalo,The Hungary Caterpillar and the Mr.Men books.
36.Why some parents don't want to read Rumplestiltskin to their kids?D
A.Rumplestiltskin is too long
B.Rumplestiltskin is too difficult
C.Rumplestiltskin forgives stealing
D.Rumplestiltskin may have bad influence on Children
37.We can learn from paragraph 3 that Grimm isD
A.a fairytales book          
B.a movie for children
C.a play loved by children    
D.a drama based on traditional fairytales
38.The underlined word"soothe"in paragraph4 can be replaced byB
A.put down   B.calm down  C.take down  D.come down
39.Which of the following may Steve Hornsey agree to?A
A.There is a moral to a classic fairytale
B.Fairytales are dark
C.Adults take fairytales too seriously
D.Fairytales are not good for children's sleep
40.What's the author's attitude towards traditional fairytales?B
