Its said that each day there are about 1 million people living on the streets in the US. It is a serious problem which should be dealt with effectively.There are two main reasons for people leaving their homes: poverty and less affordable houses due to bad economic conditions. Other reasons include: domestic violence, divorce, and mental illness. Living without a home makes people main targets of violence activities and besides, these homeless people have to face the following difficulties on a daily basis.They have to move about, carrying their belongings, which makes it difficult for the charity and the government to help them. They have limited access to bathrooms and restrooms and are forced to live in dirty conditions, making them easy to be attacked by diseases. They have limited access to health-care facilities in case of emergency, and almost no access to education as they have no money. They are often ill-treated by society, which makes them unfriendly, often ending up being involved in activities connected with crime like selling drugs or guns.Homelessness is not something that happened overnight - it has been in the country for decades. The society usually believes those living on the street to be mentally unstable. This belief is partially true. Most of them are normal people just like you and me.The federal government is doing all it can to help but it is not enough, so the ordinary citizens have to stand up and try to help whenever its possible. There are various organizations, such as charity organizations that are working constantly to make sure that homeless people find a shelter to live in. the united efforts have helped millions of people return to their normal lifestyle.

But a big idea in higher education these days is the massive open online course, or MOOC.Some universities offer free, non-credit（无学分的）MOOCs available to anyone in the world. Others charge for courses and provide credits. The idea is still developing.So far, most massive open online courses are in computer science, technology, mechanics and engineering. For example, students around the world are taking a free course called Building a Computer Search Engine. Two computer scientists, Sebastian Thrun and David Evans, are offering this course through .There are no education requirements for the course. The students watch short videos.Then, says Mr. Evans, they take informal quizzes（测试）after the videos each week for six weeks.DAVID EVANS: Quizzes are part of the lecture to keep students engaged and keep them thinking, for students to be able to check that they understood what we covered. Those are not graded and students try those as often as they wish. They can repeatedly watch the videos and take the quizzes whenever they want.”Students receive homework. They join online groups to exchange questions and answers about the course. The teachers hold office hours to answer questions that the students have voted to send them. They also present their own questions and observations to the students in order to help them make a deeper impression of the course.The students take a final examination to show where they rate in the class Everyone who finishes the course receives a grade and proof of completion. Top students get letters documenting their work.Mr. Thrun started Udacity, which supports free MOOCs. Udacity hopes to make a profit in the future by connecting possible employers with interested students. On his Stanford homepage he says he wants to democratize education. “Education”, he says, should be free, accessible for all, anywhere and any time66. What can we know about MOOCs from the passage?A.
