that Section B

Directions: Read the following two passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or furnished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A,B,C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.

(A)

Winter is a great time to experiment with new sports. The key is to find one that matches your interests and natural abilities. If you like to walk, keep walking-on snowshoes. If you want to try an endurance sport, go for cross-country skiing. Besides, snowboarding is just great fun.

Not satisfied with these? Try downhill skiing, then. Downhill skiing is not as hard as it used to be ― shorter, lightweight, curved skis make any beginner feel like an Olympic winner. These newer skis ― along with another type of equipment called skiboards, which are even shorter than skis ― help you control your speed and body movements.

Consider testing the latest high-tech skis or snowboards？Check with your local sports shops or the rental places at the ski mountains about

sample programs.

You could also try sledding. Use a wood-framed sled with steel runners or a plastic sled to head down a snowy hill. If you prefer ice to snow, think hockey or figure skating.

Runners can also train during the winter in spite of wet or slippery roads. One of the easiest sports around, snowshoeing can be excellent cold-weather cross-training for runners and cyclists ― or anyone wanting to take a wintry walk in the woods. Snowshoes are smaller, lighter, and better than ever. If you want to try them out, you may be able to rent a pair for a day at many of the larger outdoor or sporting goods stores.

Whatever sport you choose, don’t rely on a friend for instruction. You wouldn’t let an inexperienced doctor perform a brain operation on you, but why let one teach you to ski or skate? That’s what instructors are for ― to help newers start out right. Instructors can give you advice about equipment, techniques, safety, and dealing with injuries if they do happen to you.

Above all, if you want to progress, invest your time in learning the basic skills thoroughly. Everything else you do as a skier, boarder, or

Will young people in the future get the same kind of higher education as they do today?

Perhaps no Bill Gates, for one, thinks the idea of a college education is on the way out.

“Five years from now on the Web of free you’ll be able to find the best lectures in the world, said the 55-year-old Microsoft chairman at the Techonomy conference in california. US, last month. “It will be better than any single university.” he continued. Gates points out the high expense of cllege tuition fees and argues that textbooks are of lower quality than resources available online.

Online technology is the only way to reform education and to expand it, Gates claims although he certainly has an interest in its increased use.

such as these are altering the way people share information.

“suddenly, it is possible to imagine a new model of education using online resources to serve more students, more cheaply than ever before.” Anya Kamentetz wrote, in an article for the magazine Fast pany. The author thinks that traditional universities will find themselves on the wrong side of history, along with print newspapers and record stores. A Professor of Brigham Young University in US, agrees.” if universities can’t find the will to innovate and adapt to changes in the world around them, universities will be irrelevant by xx.

The Massachusetts Institute of Technology put coursework online for free in xx. Today, there are a great many educational websites, offering video and audio lectures by the best professors in their fields for free. With more university course materials available on the Web, education is changing fast. “The old model of education is no longer sustainable(可持续的). The university of the future can’t be far away,” Kamenetz concluded.

But there are worries.

MOOCs (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 don't have to finish the courses, pass assessments or do assignments, but, if they do, they get a certification of participation.

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 xx, Edinburgh University became the first non-US institution to join Coursera's partnership, prising 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 petition 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 (专门技能) 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

not only was I capable of exchanging books with others, but I also obtained a golden opportunity to appreciate the lecture on effective reading addressed by a famous professor, which genuinely impressed me a great deal.

From my perspective, the Reading Festival is an excellent way to stimulate students to read, for some students can not always spare time to read. In addition, we are able to make friends with those sharing the same interests through such a occasion. Of course, the most important is it’s a meaning activity, where not only can we relax ourselves through reading, but we also benefit a lot

There is no denying that Reading Festival is a golden chance for us to read. As is often said, books are to us students what water is to fish, and I hold a firm belief that only when we read more books are we likely to discover the fun of reading.
