MOOCs, Massive (大规模的) Open Online (在线的) Courses, are open to anyone with the Internet and are totally free. They are changing the traditional education greatly.

When asked about his opinion of MOOCs, Garyary W. Matkin, head of Distance Learning at the University of California said, “MOOCs can offer you great experiences interested to learn more. I’m sure they have a bright future.” Keep in mind that your MOOC journey is for you and your learning.

Lectures on happiness are becoming increasingly popular in Harvard University. I went to one of them, which left a lasting impress on me. While we were listening with close attention, the speaker suddenly stopped and started a game, giving each person a balloon. Each one was asked to write their name on it using a pen. Then the 100 students from 25 schools were divided into two groups.
Now the two groups were in different rooms with their balloons flying in it. The first group of 50 students were asked to find the balloon with their name on it within 5 minutes. Everyone was hurriedly searching for their own name, pushing and running into each other, and there was lots of noise. At the end of 5 minutes, none of them could find their own balloon.
The second half, on the other hand, was asked to randomly(随机地) collect a balloon and give it to the person whose name was written on it. Within minutes everyone had their own balloon.
This is exactly happening in our lives. Everyone is hurriedly looking for happiness all around, not
knowing where it is. Our happiness lies in the happiness of other people. Give them their happiness, and you will get your own happiness. And this is the purpose of human life.
51. At the beginning of the game, each person was asked to_________.
A. A write their name on a balloon
B. visit Harvard University
C. fly their balloon with wishes
D. get int0 4 different groups
52. What happened to the first group?

C. Everyone found their friends.
D. Everyone helped one another.
53. How many students found their own balloons in the game?

C. 50.
D. 100.
54. According to the text, which of the following is TRUE?

B. Students in the game come from the same school.
C. Our happiness comes from the happiness of others.
D. Students learned nothing about happiness in the game.
55. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?

B. Having Lectures
C. Collecting Balloons
D. Playing Games

Most humans expect to receive fair treatment. A recent study shows that monkeys may feel the same way. This is the first time scientists have seen this kind of behavior in animals.
Scientists chose monkeys for the research because monkeys have close relationships with each other and they also have good teamwork.
Sarah Brosnan, the leader of the research, put female monkeys in pairs. The researchers trained the monkeys to exchange (交换) a small rock with them “That may sound simple, but not very many animals are willing to give things away.”says Brosnan. When a monkey exchanged a rock with the researcher within 60 seconds, she received a reward. Usually, the reward was a piece of cucumber (黄瓜).
The partner of each monkey who made an exchange also received a reward. Sometimes the partner got the same reward (a piece of cucumber), but other times the partner received a better reward (a grape). The researchers were surprised at how the monkey responded to the unfair treatment. When a monkey saw her partner get better treatment, she was unhappy. The monkeys did not want to continue the test or eat the cucumbers they received. Some monkeys even threw their food at the researchers.
Brosnan’s research suggests that monkeys do not like unfair treatment. However, as Brosnan explains, “We don’t know how monkeys learn to dislike being treated unfairly. But that opens up a whole new research field.” Scientists will continue their research.
56. A recent study shows that monkeys_________.
A. expect to receive fair treatment
B. behave differently from humans
C. have no teamwork in their life
D. have bad relationships with each other
57. The monkeys in the research were trained to _________.
A. ask their partners for help
B. give away food to the researchers
C. get a reward from their partners
D. exchange a rock with the researchers
58. How did the monkey feel when her partner received a better reward?
A. Happy.
B. Angry.
C. Anxious.
D. Calm.
59. What can we learn from the last paragraph?
A. Scientists will treat monkeys in an unfair way.
B. Scientists have understood monkeys’ behavior.
C. Scientists will do further research into monkeys.
D. Scientists have learned enough about monkeys.
60. The text is most probably _________.
A. a travel diary
B. a short novel
C. a book review
D. a science news report

During the week, students are asked to record how many minutes they walk. Parents are advised to leave their cars at home and take their children to school on foot. We can benefit a lot.

Maria was born in 1996 in Australia. She started singing in 2000 when she was four, and has entered more than 80 singing competitions. Many young children can’t sing well, but Maria can. She has a great gift for
singing. She loves singing and practices whenever possible.
On Little Big Star, a music TV show in Australia, Maria got third place. Shortly after that, her father posted videos of Maria online. The videos got millions of hits. Maria became really famous when she was on Star King, a very popular TV show in the UK in 2010. She had a natural ability to attract the crowd. They loved her and her singing.
“Maria’s success doesn’t happen by accident. Although she has a great gift, she works very hard to make her dream come true,” said her father.
So when you’re good at something, never give up - never stop trying. Follow your dreams.。
