12．While there is no widely accepted definition of MOOCs，their key features are open access：they are currently free to participants，no entry qualifications are required，they support an unlimited number of participants and as yet，very few include any form of accreditation （认证）．
Currently offered by some famous universities，MOOCs are attractive to people who do not have the financial resources to meet the growing costs of university education，or who do not have formal qualifications．They also allow participants to study at their own pace．
The potential for MOOCs to deliver education is obviously vast-they could be considered as a huge step forwards in widening participation．They also have the potential to provide a unique window on universities that offer popular and valuable courses，they may attract some participants to register for formal fee-paying programmes at the same or other universities and are likely to promote new ways of on-line education．
However，it is still very early days for MOOCs．The quality of the education provision is highly variable，with many courses offering only recordings of lectures，and delivery is particularly difficult in some special fields that require practical classes，research projects or extensive library access．Besides，wider engagement with participants requires very considerable resource．Even limited feedback or examination becomes a major task if there are several thousand students in the class．
Considering the challenges，some people argue MOOCs will soon evaporate （蒸发）．But they certainly provide good opportunity for widening higher education，are a means of raising awareness of universities to audiences of tens or hundreds of thousands，and are well worthy of serious consideration．

7．Daniel Anderson，a famous psychologist，believes it's important to distinguish television's influences on children from those of the family．We tend to blame TV，he says，for problems it doesn't really cause，overlooking our own roles in shaping children's minds．
One traditional belief about television is that it reduces a child's ability to think and to understand the world．While watching TV，children do not merely absorb words and images （影像）．Instead，they learn both explicit and hidden meanings from what they see．Actually，children learn early the psychology of characters in TV shows．Furthermore，as many teachers agree，children understand far more when parents watch TV with them，explaining new words and ideas．Yet，most parents use an educational program as a chance to park their kids in front of the set and do something in another room．
Another argument against television is that it replaces reading as a form of entertainment．But according to Anderson，the amount of time spent watching television is not related to reading ability．TV doesn't take the place of reading for most children； it takes the place of similar sorts of recreation，such as listening to the radio and playing sports．Things like parents'educational background have a stronger influence on a child's reading．"A child's reading ability is best predicted by how much a parent reads．"Anderson says．
Traditional wisdom also has it that heavy television-watching lowers IQ （智商） scores and affects school performance．But here，too，Anderson notes that no studies have proved it．In fact，research suggests that it's the other way around．"If you're smart young，you'll watch less TV when you're older，"Anderson says．Yet，people of lower IQ tend to be lifelong television viewers．
For years researchers have attempted to show that television is dangerous to children．However，by showing that television promotes none of the dangerous effects as conventionally believed，Anderson suggests that television cannot be condemned without considering other influences．

17．There were smiling children all the way．Clearly they knew at what time the train passed their homes and they made it their business to stand along the railway，were to complete strangers and cheer them up as they rushed towards Penage．Often whole families stood outside their homes and waved and smiled as if those on the trains were their favorite relatives．This is the simple village people of Malaysia．I was moved．
   I had always traveled to Malaysia by plane or car，so this was the first time I was on a train．I did not particularlf relish the long train joumey and had brought along a dozen magazines to read and reread．I looked about the train．There was not one familiar I sighed and sat down to read my Economics
     It was not long before the train was across the Causeway and in Malaysia．Johore Baru was just another city like Singapore，so I was tired of looking at the crowds of people as they hurried past．As we went beyond the city，I watched the straight rows of rubber trees and miles and miles of green．Then the first village came into sight．Immediately I came alive，I decided to wave back．
   From then on my joumey became imeresting．I threw my magazine into the waste basket and decided to join in Malaysian life．Then everything came alive．The mountains seemed to speak to me．Even the trees were smiling．I stared t everything as if I was looking at it for the first time．
  The day passed fast and I even forgot to have my lunch until I felt hungry．I looked at my watch and was surprised that it was 3：00 pm．Soon the train pulled up at Butterworth I looked at the people all around me．They all looked beautiful．When my uncle arrive with，I threw my around him to give him a warm hug．I had never done this before．He seemed surprised and then his weather-beaten face warmed up with a huge smile．We walked arm in arm to his car．
   I looked forward to the return journey．

E．You blow off your chances for help．
F．You are probably overestimating （高估） the pain．

Never Put off Tomorrow What You Can Do Today
Want to put off studying for the physics test？Or writing that thirty-five-page research paper on future uses of biotechnology？Sure you do？And who wouldn't？But it's still a silly idea to put off doing something until a future time．Here is why…
61．B The task will be still the same．It won't be any more fun and you still won't want to do it．As the deadline gets closer and closer，the task seems to become larger and larger if you haven't started the work．And the stress increases．Now not only do you have to write that paper，you have to do it under great pressure．
62．F Before you start，it seems that the task is unlikely to be accomplished．But you know what？You're probably miscalculating．Get started-maybe on a small piece-and you will discover that you have more resources and know more about the subject than you thought．Result？You won't experience nearly as much suffering as you expected to．Things are guaranteed-100percent-to get better．
63．E If you leave your work before the night before it's due，you give up the possibility of getting input from your professor．Professors regularly give advice-or at least a few useful tips-during office hours．Unfortunately，though，they don't usually hold office hours at midnight，so you will be out of luck when you discover the night before the midterm that you have no idea how to do the questions that will count for two-thirds of your grade．
64．C Ever wonder why the professor assigns the papers two weeks before it's due？It's because he or she expects you to be thinking about the issue，or doing the research，for two weeks．No，not every waking moment，but at least some of the time．After all，the professor could just as easily have given the assignment one week before it was due if he or she expected less thinking．When you throw together a paper or a report at the last minute，your ideas are half-baked．And your professor will know it．
65．A If you put things off at the last minute，you might find that you haven't budgeted enough minutes to finish the necessary tasks．It's the easiest thing in the world to miscalculate how long it'll take to do all the work especially when new issues arise-like illness，family problems，computer breakdowns，trouble at work，and all the other things-as you're thinking through your paper argument or preparing yourself for the coming test．If you keep delaying，you don't allow yourself time for those various life events that have an adverse （不利的） effect on your ability to complete your assignment．
1．The first time I saw him，what impressed me most were his waistline _____ nearly 3Chinese chi and his obesity ______ 210jin．（　　）
A．measured； weighedB．measuring； weighing
C．measured； weighingD．measuring； weighed
6．Youth sport has the potential to accomplish three important objectives in children's development．First，sport programs can provide youth with opportunities to be physically active，which can lead to improved physical health．Second，youth sport programs have long been considered important to youth's psychosocial development，providing opportunities to learn important life skills such as cooperation，discipline，leadership，and self-control．Third，youth sport programs are critical for the learning of motor skills； these motor skills serve as a foundation for future national sport stars and recreational adult sport participants．When coachers develop activities for youth practices and when sport organizations design youth-sport programs，they must consider the implication of deliberate play and deliberate practice．
Research from Telama （2006）states that regular participation in deliberate play or deliberate practice activities during childhood and youth （ages nine to eighteen） increases the likelihood of participation in sports during adulthood by six times for both males and females．C?té （2002）defines deliberate play activities in sport as those designed to maximize enjoyment．These activities are regulated by flexible rules adapted from standardized sport rules and are set up by the children or by an involved adult．Children typically change rules to find a point where their game is similar to the actual sport but still allows for play at their level．For example，children may change soccer and basketball rules to suit their needs and environment （e．g．in the street．on a playing field or in someone's backyard）．When involved in deliberate play activities，children are less concerned with the outcome of their outcome of their behavior．（whether they win or lose） than with the behavior．（having fun）．
On the other hand，Ericsson （1993）suggests that the most effective learning occurs through involvement in highly structured activities defined as deliberate practice．Deliberate practice activities require effort，produce no immediate rewards，and are motivated by the goal of improving performance rather than the goal of enjoyment．When individuals are involved in deliberate play，they experiment with different combinations of behaviors，but not necessarily in the most effective way to improve performance．In contrast，when individuals are involved in deliberate practice，they exhibit behavior．focused on improving performance by the most effective means available．For example，the backhand skills in tennis could be learned and improved over time by playing matches or by creating fun practice situations．However，players could more effectively improve their backhand performance by practicing drills that might be considered less enjoyable．Although drills are used in most effective means available practice might not be the most enjoyable，they might be the most relevant to improving performance．

78．Besides the learning of motor skills，what are the other two important objectives of youth sport？Improved physical health and psychosocial development．
79．If children participate in deliberate play or deliberate practice activities，they are more likely toparticipate in sports during adulthood．．
80．In deliberate play activities，what do children do to maximize enjoyment？They change rules to suit their needs and their environment．．
81．In contrast to deliberate play，deliberate practice is aimed atimproving performance．．
