As the MOOC craze continues to explode, anyone interested in taking an online course faces a tricky question: Which course to take? Here are five aspects that you should consider before you start.
(1)What is your learning style?
Many MOOCs are video-based. Other courses use presentation formats. Some also require participation in group work. If you want to stay motivated during your course, think about how you enjoy learning.
Are you a visual learner, preferring to use images to understand a topic? If so, a video-based course will work well for you. If you are a verbal learner who gains new information by speaking and writing, try a text-based course with lots of note-taking. Social learners, meanwhile, will thrive in forum discussions and project-based assessment.
(2)Are you ready to become a full-time student?
Be realistic about the time that you can commit to your online studies. Participating in an online course can take as much time and commitment as a class-based program. Check the course requirements and make a plan around your current schedule.
(3) Does the course really meet your needs?
Whether you are interested in a professional qualification or want to take a personal development course like yoga, there is a MOOC for you. It's easy to get caught up in the excitement of taking lots of free courses in everything that you ever wanted to learn. Before you start a course, think about the end goal. Is the course aimed at beginners or advanced learners? Why do you need this qualification?
(4) Do you need a support group?
Some people learn best from seeing how others approach the problem. If you are such as learner, you will need to supplement your online lessons with an in-person support group.
(5) What kind of certification will you get?
Take time to find out what kind of certification is available upon completion of the course, and how you can prove your learning to others - for example, certificates, transcripts or digital badges.
1. What kind of MOOC's does the author recommend to verbal learners?
A. A video-based course.

A. Learners who prefer individual work.
B. Learners who are in great need of a certificate.
C. Learners who are too busy to become a full-time student.
D. Learners who learn best from observing how others address the problem.

Once small farmers in Masii, a remote village in Kenya, have picked their crops, all they can do is wait until a buyer trucks through. The system works fairly well for beans and corn, but mangoes-the area’s other main crop-spoil (腐烂) more quickly. If the trader is late, they rot.
However, a simple coating could change that. A company, SmartTech, has created a product that doubles the shelf life of fresh produce, enabling farmers to access far-off, larger markets. More time forfresh produce on grocers’ shelves also means less food waste-a $2.6 trillion problem, according to the United Nations’ Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO).
James Rogers, CEO of SmartTech, wanted to solve the problem for food much in the same way that oxide barriers preventing rust (锈) have achieved for steel. Fortunately, researchers have found when plants made the jump from water to land, they developed cutin(蜡质), a barrier which is made of fatty acids that link together to form a seal around the plant, helping keep water in.
The cutin was such a grand strategy that today you’ll still find it across the plant kingdom. SmartTech discovered through researches that an orange can last longer than a strawberry not so much because of the thickness of its skin, but because of the difference in the arrangement of those cutin molecules (分子)on the surface. After extensive trials, Rogers and his team developed a natural and tasteless protective coating from plant material-stems, leaves and skins. The product extends the sweet spot between ripening and rot. And best of all, the treated produce doesn’t require refrigeration.
“SmartTech has huge potential to turn poor farmers in Africa into commercial farmers,” says Rogers. “That means more money in pockets, and more food in stomachs.” But whether the company can cost-effectively reach
small farmers in far-off areas still remains a challenge.
4. The author mentions the small farmers in Kenya to ________.
A. stress their need for preserving produce
B. show their challenge in harvesting crops
C. express their wish to reach larger markets
D. evaluate their loss caused by slow transport
5. What can we learn about SmartTech’s product?
A. It is financially supported by FAO.
B. It is intended to replace refrigeration.
C. It is designed to thicken produce’s skin.
D. It is based on plants’own defence system.
6. What will James Rogers probably focus on next?
A. How to expand farms.
B. How to earn more money.
C. How to produce more tasty food.
D. How to profit farmers in remote area.
7. The main purpose of the passage is to ________.
A. promote a product
B. present a technology
C. advertise SmartTech
D. introduce James Rogers
C
As artificial intelligence(AI) systems become more advanced, we can expect them to be used more often in the world of human medicine and healthcare. AI is designed to imitate(模仿）the human brain in decision making and learning, so with the computing power to learn tasks in days or even hours, it is possible to create medical AIs that rapidly outperform doctors in certain tasks.
Data plays a hugely important role in helping AI systems learn about human medicine. AI systems are trained on large data sets gathered from real-life cases. Providing detailed patient information in quantities is a crucial factor for their success.
One of the most important areas for influencing global health is in the field of epidemiology(流行病学）。

Predicting disease outbreaks can save millions of lives by having resources ready should the worst happen. Startup AIME has successfully combined public health data with machine learning and AI to create a prediction engine
capable of anticipating epidemics months in advance with great accuracy.
Another field where medical AIs are making rapid advances is in diagnostics(诊断学）Doctors base a lot of decisions on information from X-ray, CT and MRI images. Speeding up. diagnoses from patient scans can rapidly improve patient care and outcomes. Computer vision AIs use pattern recognition to work through these images with incredible speed and accuracy. They have been able to outperform junior doctors and even senior specialists in some tests.
Cardiologist(心脏科医生）Rima Arnaout developed an AI that beat human experts at correctly interpreting echocardiograms(超声心动图）by 92 percent to 79 percent. She said that despite the result there is no prospect of AI replacing human doctors any time soon. “As cardiologists, weread the images and then go to see the patient,” she said. “So we're both reading images and practicing medicine. I don't think that the second piece will be taken over so quickly. ”
The acceptance of AI in medicine will continue to gather pace in the future as it becomes more widespread.
8. What played a big role in helping AI systems know of human medicine?
A. Certain tasks.
B. Large data.
C. The skill to imitate.
D. The increasing demand.
9. Why is Startup AIME mentioned in paragraph 3?
A. To illustrate predicting disease is possible.
B. To call on doctors to focus on public health data.
C. To prove it's a successful company in global health.
D. To let readers realize the importance of early success.
10. What do we know about computer vision AIs?
A. They do better than doctors in some tests.
B. They speed up diagnoses from patient scans.
C. They can rapidly improve patients' conditions.
D. They analyze information from X-ray, CT and MRI images.
11. What do Rima Arnaout's words in paragraph 5 imply?
A. AIs are not so smart as human doctors.
B It's not easy for AIs to take the place of human doctors.
C. A cooperation between AIs and human doctors is a must.
D. Human doctors are playing a big role in practicing medicine.
D
Please take a few seconds and think of your personal biggest goal. Imagine telling someone you meet today what you’re going to do. Imagine their congratulations and their high image of you. Doesn’t it feel good to say it out loud? Don’t you feel one step closer already? Well, bad news: you should have kept your mouth shut, because that good feeling will make you less likely to do it.
Any time you have a goal, there is some work that needs to be done to achieve it. Ideally, you would not be satisfied until you’d actually done the work. But when you tell someone your goal and he acknowledges(认可) it, psychologists have found it’s called a “social reality”. The mind is kind of tricked into feeling that it’s already done. And then, because you’ve felt that satisfaction, you’re less motivated to do the actual hard work necessary. This goes againstthe traditional wisdom that we should tell our friends our goals, right?
In 1982, Peter Gollwitzer, a Professor of Psychology, wrote a whole book about this. And in 2009, he did some new tests that were published. It goes like this: 163 people across four separate tests—everyone wrote down their personal goal. Then half of them announced their commitment(许诺) to this goal to the room, and half didn’t. Then everyone was given 45 minutes of work that would directly lead them towards their goal, but they were told that they could stop at any time. Now those who kept their mouths shut worked the entire 45 minutes on average, and when asked afterwards, said they felt they had a long way to go to achieve their goal. But those who had announced it quit after only 33 minutes on average, and when asked afterwards, said that they felt much closer to achieving their goal.
12. What do the words “social reality” in Paragraph 2 mean?
A. Completion of the goal.
B. Necessary hard work.
C. People's acknowledgement.
D. A sense of satisfaction.
13. What does Peter Gollwitzer try to tell us?
A. Writing down the goal is very helpful.
B. Achieving personal goal needs more time.
C. Keeping the goal secret makes people work harder.
D. Making the goal public makes people less satisfied.
14. How did Peter Gollwitzer prove his idea about people’s goal?
A. By giving figures.
B. By giving examples.
C. By making a survey.
D. By making comparison tests.
15. What will probably happen if you tell your friends your goal?
A. You will be more confident.
B. You will not gain satisfaction.
C. You are less likely to realize it.
D. You’ll be much moremotivated.
