Students are wasting their time on insignificant assignments rather than effectively using that time to achieve other accomplishments. According to , many parents are concerned that homework is being assigned rather than being used to integrate what teachers are covering in the classroom. In their eyes, if less homework is assigned, students would have much less stress and could focus more on their passions and hobbies.Homework gets in the way of participating in community service events as well as opportunities for getting a job or being a part of an extra-curricular activity. These responsibilities are important for teenagers to take on because they prepare the teenagers for the real world. Without the proper exposure to work that is not school related, students will find themselves lost after they graduate. If homework were no longer given, students would have a lot more time to mature in other fields rather than being educated only on academics.In spite of the fact that teachers want students to do better on tests and absorb the material that they are teaching, homework is not accomplishing its purpose. Because school is becoming increasingly more competitive and challenging, homework is becoming a setback rather than extra practice. Its removal would benefit the well being of teenagers as well as encourage them to get out in the real world and discover themselves instead of staring at a pile of assignments.56. Students are wasting their time on insignificant homework because_.A. they are working on it carelessly and hurriedlyB. they attempt to get only part of the information memorizedC. they spend too much time doing it without understandingD. they fail to take in the information after finishing it57. From the third paragraph, we can infer that homework might _.A. guarantee students more job opportunitiesB. make students lose the sense of responsibilitiesC. weaken students social adaptation abilityD. cause students to feel lost after graduation58. The author insists that homework should be _.A. made simpler and easierB. got rid of C. connected with social activitiesD. switched over to subject competitionsBOne day, Soapy Smith and I visited a shelter for badly-treated women located in a deserted section of the city. No one smiled a greeting, and they appeared uninterested in Soapy. One little girl in particular moved like a wisp (纤弱的小东西) in the background. The staff informed me that she had been there for over a month and had not spoken the entire time. Her mother said she had talked at one time but not in recent memory. I didnt want to imagine what could have happened to rob this little girl of the natural curiosity and enthusiasm so natural to childhood.Spreading a blanket on the floor, I sat down and put Soapy on the blanket. As the silent child circled past me, I told the group that Soapy would come to talk to them if they sat on his blanket. Several children did this, including the silent girl. She sat rigidly at the edge of the blanket, legs held stiffly out straight in front of her. She was staring hard at Soapy. It appeared that he kept making eye contact with her. She didnt reach out to him or encourage him in any way. Rather she sat tensely, just staring.Finally Soapy came to a stop about two inches from her. He quietly reached out and laid his chin on her knee. I was astonished. While a common behavior for dogs, this is not a behavior exhibited by rabbits, especially not by this rabbit. The child did not reach out to touch Soapy. Instead, she slowly leaned toward him. When her face was within inches of his, she carefully reached out and circled him with her arms. So softly that no one in the room could hear, she began to talk. Folded around the rabbit, she pillowed her head on his back and whispered to him. Soapy remained motionless.I looked up and noticed that the shelter workers had stopped talking. Every adult in the room froze in place. Time seemed to have stopped. The little girl reappeared when I was preparing to leave. She reached her hands out and looked me directly in the eye. I held Soapy out to her. She wrapped him in a big hug and pressed her face against him. Suspended (悬挂) from my hands as he was, I was concerned that he would begin to struggle. Instead he reached out his head again and laid it on the childs shoulder. His breathing slowed and he closed his eyes. As quickly as it happened, the little girl released her hug and stepped back. As she turned away, I thought I saw the beginnings of a faint smile.The rabbit in his cloud of soft, warm fur had touched something deep in the child something that had died from too much hard experience. Soapys innocence and trust appeared to arouse those very same qualities in the little girl. It seems the language of the heart is simple after all. 59. The little girl didnt speak any word because _. A. she liked staying silent and still B. she had no friends to talk with C. she had too much hard experience D. the people in the shelter all kept silent 60. What is the correct order of the following events? a. The little girl gave a faint smile. b. Soapy reached out and laid his chin on her knee.c. The little girl carefully reached out and circled him with her arms. d. Soapys breathing slowed and he closed his eyes. e. The little girl began to whisper to Soapy. A. c; b; e; d; a B. b; c; d; e; a C. b; c; e; d; a D. c; b; d; e; a 61. The authors purpose of writing the passage is to tell us _. A. a moving story about a lonely girl who hasnt talked for years B. to pay more attention to those children who have been deserted by their parents C. a lot of kind people around us are offering help to those in need D. the heart-to-heart communication between animal and human is powerful62. The best title for this passage may be _. A. Soapy Smith and A Little Girl B. A Great Surprise C. The Language of The Heart D. Human Beings and Animals CMOOCs (Massive Open Online Courses) are free, but without tutoring, and are open to anyone, anywhere inthe world. The courses are flexible normally three to five hours of study a week 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 dont 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 UKs 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 Courseras partnership, comprising 13 universities. “We already run 50 online masters degrees, so this was a logical expansion,” says Professor Jeff Haywood, Edinburghs vice-principal. “Its an investment in teaching methods research. How am I going to teach introductory philosophy to 100,000 people? Thats what I call educational R&D.” He adds “If you look ahead 10 years, youd expect all students graduating to have taken some online courses, so youve got to research that. Our MOOCs are no more in competition with our degrees than a lifelong learning course because they dont carry credits.”Cooperation is key, Haywood stresses. It is far better to offer 20-30 courses in your own areas of expertise (专门技能) and let other institutions do likewise. Professor Mike Sharples, FutureLearns academic lead, goes further: “Weve 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 wont just receive an exam, but be able to discuss and mark each others 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.
