It is Mother¡¯s Day today. Mom has a full-time job, so she has to do most of the houseworks. She is a great mother. Both Dad or I planned to do something on Mother¡¯s Day. We get up early in the morning. Dad cleaned the house, and then went on shopping. While he came back, I found a bunch of flowers in her hand. I asked Mom to stay in the sitting room and I cooked dishes in kitchen. The dishes I cooked was Mom¡¯s favorite. At dinner, we said to her, ¡°Happy Mother¡¯s Day!¡± Mom was grateful and moving to tears.

When milk arrived on the doorstep

When I was a boy growing up in New Jersey in the 1960s, we had a milkman delivering milk to our doorstep. His name was Mr.Basille. He wore a white cap and drove a white truck. As a 5-year-old boy, I couldn¡¯t take my eyes off the coin changer fixed to his belt. He noticed this one day during a delivery and gave me a quarter out of his coin changer.

Of course, he delivered more than milk. There was cheese, eggs and so on. If we needed to change our order, my mother would pen a note-¡°Please add a bottle of buttermilk next delivery¡±¡ªand place it in the box along with the empty bottles. And then, the buttermilk would magically appear.

All of this was about more than convenience. There existed a close relationship between families and their milkmen. Mr. Basille even had a key to our house, for those times when it was so cold outside that we put the box indoors, so that the milk wouldn¡¯t freeze. And I remember Mr. Basille from time to time taking a break at our kitchen table, having a cup of tea and telling stories about his delivery.

There is sadly no home milk delivery today. Big companies allowed the production of cheaper milk thus making it difficult for milkmen to compete. Besides, milk is for sale everywhere, and it may just not have been practiced to have a delivery service.

Recently, an old milk box in the countryside I saw brought back my childhood memories. I took it home and planted it on the back porch. Every so often my son¡¯s friends will ask what it is. So I start telling stories of my boyhood, and of the milkman who brought us friendship along with his milk.

MOOCs (Massive Open Online Courses) are free, but without tutoring, and are open to anyone, anywhere in the world. The courses are flexible ¡ª normally three to five hours of study a week ¡ª done at any time, short (5 to 10 weeks) and video-rich. They are also heavily dependent on crowd sourcing: you can discuss a course with fellow students through online forums, discussion boards and peer review. Students don¡¯t have to finish the courses, pass assessments or do assignments, but, if they do, they get a certification of participation.

The Open University launched FutureLearn, the UK¡¯s answer to US platforms such as Coursera, EdX and Udacity, which have been offering MOOCs from top US universities for the past two years. The response has been incredible, with more than three million people registering worldwide. Meanwhile, in 2012, Edinburgh University became the first non-US institution to join Coursera¡¯s partnership, comprising 13 universities. ¡°We already run 50 online master¡¯s degrees, so this was a logical expansion,¡± says Professor Jeff Haywood, Edinburgh¡¯s vice-principal. ¡°It¡¯s an investment in teaching methods research. How am I going to teach introductory philosophy to 100,000 people? That¡¯s what I call educational R&D.¡± He adds ¡°If you look ahead 10 years, you¡¯d expect all students graduating to have taken some online courses, so you¡¯ve got to research that. Our MOOCs are no more in competition with our degrees than a lifelong learning course because they don¡¯t carry credits.¡±

Cooperation is key, Haywood stresses. It is far better to offer 20-30 courses in your own areas of expertise (רÃż¼ÄÜ) and let other institutions do likewise. Professor Mike Sharples, FutureLearn¡¯s academic lead, goes further: ¡°We¡¯ve tied the elements available before into a package of courses offered by leading universities worldwide on a new software platform, with a new way of promoting it and also a new social-learning teaching method. You won¡¯t just receive an exam, but be able to discuss and mark each other¡¯s assignments.¡±

Bath University, one of more than 20 universities working with FutureLearn, launches its first course, Inside Cancer, next January, and regards MOOCs as a way of breaking down age barriers. ¡°There¡¯s no reason why someone doing GCSEs should not look at our MOOCs and get quite a way through them, or someone at PhD level and beyond,¡± says Professor Bernie Morley, expert for learning and teaching.

We all have ideas about what kinds of foods are good or bad to eat. As a result, people from one culture often think the foods that people from another culture eat are unacceptable. Many people would find it terrible to eat rats, but there are forty-two different cultures whose people regard rats as proper food.

Food likes and dislikes do not always seem related to nutrition. For example, broccoli (»¨Ò¬²Ë) is first on a list of the most nutritious common vegetables, but it is twenty-first on a list of vegetables that Americans like most to eat. Tomatoes are sixteenth on the list of most nutritious vegetables, but they are first on the list of vegetables that Americans like most to eat.

But dislikes is not the only reason why some cultures will not eat a certain food. In some cultures, certain foods are taboo. Taboo is a word from the language of the Fiji Islands that is used to describe something that is forbidden. We do not usually think about why certain things are taboo in our culture.

One example is that Americans do not eat dogs, although people from some other cultures regard them as good food. In the United States, dogs are very important to people as pets. They are usually regarded as part of the family, almost like a child in some cases. In addition, dogs have value as protection against criminals (×ï·¸). Actually, the dog¡¯s place in society as a companion makes the dog taboo as food.

Scientists believe that most food likes and dislikes are a result of the ways of life of different people. People will not eat pets such as dogs. Americans eat a lot of beef because there is plenty of land for raising cattle and their meat can be shipped cheaply for long distances by railroads.

1.The writer uses the example of rat as food to show that ________.

A. some cultures may seem rather strange

B. understanding between different cultures is easy

C. people may eat very different things

D. eating properly is very difficult

2.What is the second paragraph mainly about?

A. People don¡¯t often consider nutrition as important.

B. Some vegetables are more nutritious than others.

C. Broccoli and tomatoes are common vegetables.

D. Americans like broccoli better than tomatoes.

3.Why is eating dogs a taboo in America?

A. It is a taboo from the Fiji Islands.

B. It is against American laws.

C. Dogs are needed by the police.

D. Dogs are close to human life.

4.What can be a suitable title for the passage?

A. Nutritions and Beliefs.

B. Food and Culture.

C. Taboo about Food.

D. Science in Eating.

A student's life is never easy. 1.________ A lot of preparations are needed so you can be sure to go back home with a diploma and a bright future waiting for you. The following are some basic things you need to do before even seizing that passport and boarding on the plane.

Knowing the country.

You shouldn't bother researching the country's hottest tourist spots or historical places. You won't go there as a tourist, but as a student. It'll be helpful to read the most important points in their history and to read up on their culture. 2.________ You surely don't want to face legal problems, especially if you're away from home.

Studying their language.

Don't expect that you can graduate abroad without knowing even the basics of the language. Before leaving your home country, take online lessons to at least master some of their words and sentences. 3.________ Doing this will also prepare you in communicating with those who can't speak English.

4.________

Check the conversion£¨¶Ò»»£© of your money to their local currency, set up your bank account so you can use it there, get an insurance, and find an apartment. The Internet or your intended school will be very helpful in finding an apartment and helping you understand local currency.

Remember, you're not only carrying your own reputation but your country's reputation as well. If you act foolishly, people there might think that all of your country men are foolish as well. 5.________

A. Packing your clothes.

B. Preparing for other needs.

C. Most importantly, read about their laws.

D. This will be useful in living and studying there.

E. That would surely be a very bad start for your study abroad program.

F. Going with their trends will keep it from being too obvious that you're a foreigner.

G. And it is even more difficult if you will have to complete your study in a foreign land.

Thomas Edison was one of ten said to be the greatest genius£¨Ìì²Å£© of his age. There are only a few men in all of the history, who have changed the lives of other men as much as the inventor of the first useful electric light. But Edison could never be happy only because someone said he was a genius. ¡°There is no such thing as genius,¡± Edison said. He said that what people called genius was mostly hard work.

But Edison was a dreamer as well as a worker. From his earliest days as a child he wondered about the secrets of nature. Nature, he often said, is full of secrets. He tried to understand them; then, he tried to learn what could usefully be done with them.

Edison enjoyed thinking. He knew that most people will do almost anything instead of the difficult work of thinking, especially if they do not think very often. But he knew, too, that thinking can give men enjoyment and pleasure.

Edison could not understand how anyone could be uninterested in life. As he loved to think, he also loved to work. On the day he became 75 years old, someone asked him what ideas he had about life. ¡°Work,¡± he answered. ¡°Discovering the secrets of nature and using them to make men happier.¡± He said he had enough inventions in his mind to give him another 100 years of work.

1.Edison thought ________.

A. he could be happy if he was a genius

B. genius plays the most important part in one¡¯s success

C. hard work could do better than genius

D. genius could do better than hard work

2.In Edison¡¯s opinion, ________.

A. thinking can supply people with enjoyment and pleasure as well as help

B. people¡¯s success lies mostly in genius

C. hard work is the second important thing in making people successful

D. there are few secrets for him to discover later

3.The last sentence in the passage most probably implies(°µÊ¾£© ________.

A. life is too short for Edison to invent more for human beings

B. Edison made 100 inventions in his life

C. Edison was able to live and work for 100 years

D. people of his time were ready to give Edison another 100 years¡¯ work
