Although it was not in the latest style, it was my ticket to the adult world. I spent that summer and autumn riding happily. My sister Liz, a prisoner(囚犯，俘虏) of her five-speed bicycle, never had a chance to keep up. Just before the Christmas deadline to pay my dad back, we were hit with several snowstorms. This allowed me to shovel enough driveways (车道) to pay off my debt. I was now officially a bike owner; it was a feeling unlike any other. On that Christmas morning, my dad gave me a used portable (便携式的) record player. I was excited. However, my joy was short-lived after my dad called my sister to the kitchen. “We have one more gift for you. ” he said as he opened the door that led to the garage. There, on the steps, stood a new ten-speed bicycle. “Its not fair,” I plained. “I worked so hard for my bike. and its not even new. Then Liz gets a new bike. She didnt have to do anything for it. ” My dad smiled. “She didnt have to do anything for it because its not really for her,” he said. What did that mean? I didnt want her bike. By spring Liz and I were riding all over town together now that she could keep up. As we grew, Liz and I became true friends.

Four seconds later, the earthquake hit.“In a split second, I considered whether to run for the door or hide under my desk，” says Kristensen, 48. “The door was closed, and I thought that maybe it was too far and I would be caught under falling debris（杂物）, so I hid under the table.” A bookshelf topped onto his desk, protecting him from being crushed by rubble and trapping him in a tiny pocket. “I was confined as if in a small coffin，” he says. It was so dark, and it didnt matter if his eyes were open or closed. He used the light from his mobile phone to see around him. He found, among other items, a jar of instant coffee. “I had no food or water, only the coffee to suck on if I needed it.”At about 6：30 am. on January 17, an oil leak silenced the buildings generators, and Kristensen was able to hear muffled voices above where he was buried. “I thought, I was too tired to bang and shout. But then I realized, I had to take every chance. This could be one.” So he called out. Six hours later, Kristensen saw his rescuers faces. “It was so amazing. I felt I had received a second birthday，” he recalls. Dehydration（脱水） and pains but with only a bruise and a scratch, Kristensen took three days to recover. The UN lost more than 90 people in Haiti.

These courses are online, free of charge, and open to anyone in the world who has a laptop and an Internet connection. Moreover, they are mainly offered by elite universities like Standford, Berkeley, Harvard and Columbia.The courses, like normal college courses, are sequenced(按顺序排好)by difficulty, enabling students to progress from beginners to the advanced. The courses cover not only a broad range of technical subjects such as math and puter science, but also courses in the social sciences and the humanities (人文学科).Though MOOCs are not offered for credit and degree, many students enroll in the courses for real skills or knowledge which they can put to some practical use. Some students even form online study groups, or in-person groups with students who live nearby.The format seems superior to the traditional school class. The average quality of the lecturer is much higher, because students do not have to stick with a mediocre(平庸的) lecturer.Besides, students can scroll back or forwardin short, they can go at their own learning speed, which they cannot do in a live lecture. And, of great importance, they do not have to travel anywhere to attend an online lecture. One can obtain a first-class American college education wherever he or she lives and however little money he or she has.There is a problem of asking questions of the lecturer in a class of ten thousand students, but some MOOCs have solved it by allowing students to post questions online for a vote, and only the most popular questions are put to the lecturer.In a knowledge era, lifelong learning is not confined to a traditional classroom. Of course, students enrolling in MOOCs cannot be pared with those who are in traditional universities, but we need to rethink what a “students” is.Students in MOOCs are very clever, have work experience, and in many cases, have already developed a set of core petences. Moreover, they also offer unique international perspectives that would be the envy of any school classroom.61. Which of the following statements is NOT true about MOOCs?A. The word “MOOCs” is an acronym for “Massive open online campuses.”B. Anyone who has a puter and an Internet connection can take MOOCs.C. MOOCs are usually offered by first-class universities in the world.D. MOOCs may be a breakthrough in the development of education.62. Students enroll in MOOCs mainly for _.A. creditsB. degreesC. skillsD. study groups63. MOOCs seem to have an advantage over traditional school classes because_.the average quality of the lecturer is higherstudents can travel to many places whe
