MOOCs, short for “massive open online courses,” mark an important, possibly revolutionary, development in education. These courses are on line, free of charge, and open to anyone in the world who has a laptop and an Internet connection. Moreover, they are mainly offered by great universities like Stanford, Berkeley, Harvard and Columbia.

The courses are arranged according to how difficult they are, enabling students to progress from beginners to the advanced. The courses cover not only a broad range of science subjects such as math and computer science, but also courses in social sciences and humanities. Though MOOCs are not offered for credit and degree, many students enroll(加入) in the courses for real skills or knowledge which they can put to some practical use.

The format(形式) seems better than the traditional school class. The average quality of the lecturers is much higher. Besides, students can learn back and forward－that is, they can go at their own learning speed, which they can’t do in a live lecture. And, more importantly, they don’t have to travel anywhere to attend an online lecture. There is a problem of asking questions of the lecturer in a class of ten thousand students, but some MOOCs have solved it by allowing students to post questions on line for a vote, and only the most popular questions are put to the lecturer.

In a knowledge age, lifelong learning is not confined to a traditional classroom. Students taking MOOCS are usually very clever, have work experience, and in many cases, have already developed a set of practical skills. Moreover, they also offer unique international perspectives(遠(yuǎn)景) that would be the envy of any school classroom.

1.Which of the following statements is NOT true about MOOCs?

A. The word “MOOCs” is short for “ massive open online campuses”.

B. Anyone who has a computer and an Internet connection can take MOOCs.

C. MOOCs are usually offered by first-class universities in the world.

D. MOOCs may be a breakthrough in the development of education.

2.MOOCs seem to have an advantage over traditional school classes in that ________.

A. there is a problem of asking questions in traditional classes

B. students enrolling in MOOCs can get credit and degree easily

C. students can learn at their own study pace

D. students can travel to many places when taking MOOCs

3.The meaning of the underlined word “confined” means ________.

A. extended B. developed

C. limited D. advanced

Café en Seine

The wildly luxury (奢華) new art style of this huge bar has been a huge hit since it first opened in 1995, and while it may not be the “in” place it once was, it is still very popular with the after-work crowd and out-of-towners. Maybe it’s the glass frames, or the real 12m-high trees; but most likely it’s the beautiful people supporting the wood-and-marble bar.

Good for: decoration, cocktails, amazing food and service

Address: 40 Dawson St

Transport: all city centre

Phone: 01 677 4369

Gravediggers (aka Kavanagh’s)

The gravediggers from the neighboring Glasnevin Cemetery had a secret serving hatch (艙口) so that they could drink on the job – therefore the pub’s nickname. Founded in 1833 by one John Kavanagh and still in the family, this pub is one of the best in Ireland, almost unchanged in 150 years. In summer time the green of the square is full of drinkers bathing in the sun, while inside the hardened locals ensure that never a hint of sunshine disturbs some of the best Guinness in town. An absolute classic.

Good for: Guinness, traditional pub, pub food

Address: 1 Prospect Sq Glasnevin

Transport: 13 from city centre

Phone: 830 7978

Davy Byrne’s

James Joyce, an Irish author and a poet (1882-1941), would hardly recognize the bar that Leopold Bloom rushed into for a gorgonzola sandwich and a glass of wine in Ulysses. It doesn’t stop Davy Byrne’s from making the most of its Joyce’s connections, even though today's version is strictly for out-of-towners and the rugby crowd.

Good for: socializing with the locals, tasty Irish food, watching TV

Address: 21 Duke St

Transport: all city centre

Website: www.davybyrnes.com

Phone: 01 677 5217

Technology and the present generation of kids go hand in hand. Taking advantage of this factor, Lim Hojoon, the designer from South Korea, has come up with an educational gadget (小裝置) especially for children.

Kidget, as the name suggests, is a combination of two words – kid and gadget. This kid-friendly gadget has various uses. When your child is in a mood to read, it takes the form of a storybook. When the mood is to draw and color, this wonder gadget turns into a perfect canvas (畫布). Your child can freely give color to all his/her imaginations. Should he or she wish to have some fun, see this device change into a musical instrument. You too would enjoy doing activities with your loved one using this gadget. This touch screen device will definitely prove to be an ideal friend.

As many parents agree, in this age of technological advancements it is much easier to introduce children to new gadgets than adults. While many adults refrain (克制) from trying out something new, kids are more than prepared to take the leap. Keeping this fact in mind, Kidget is the perfect gift for the child of the 21st century. You will be surprised to see how fast your little one gets acquainted with the device. You might even find yourself lagging (落后) behind at times.

Kidget has another hidden advantage. It helps take the load off young shoulders. With three things rolled into one, a child has much fewer books, stationary items and related goods to carry. It comes with a promise to make life simpler for kids. Not only is it simple to use but also easy to carry along. The stylish protective case comes with a belt attached to it. Children up to 14 years of age, the targeted audience, enjoy the freedom that comes with it.

A. storybook B. perfect canvas

C. musical instrument D. television
