16、 Over 10,000 athletes from 207 countries marched across Rio de Janeiros Maracana stadium, proud to represent their respective nations at the worlds most famous sporting event. The road to the Olympics, however, is not easy for any athlete. It has been particularly hard for Yusra Mardini, who is a me
17、mber of the worlds first “Olympic Refugee (难民)Team.” The 19-year-old always dreamed of swimming for Syria at the Olympic Games. However, in August 2015, after losing her home in the conflict that has involved Syria since 2011, she and her sister decided to flee the country. The sisters along with a
18、few other Syrian nationals made their way to Turkey via Lebanon. They then set sail on a small boat to their final destination Greece.Unluckily, thirty minutes after leaving Turkey, the motor on the ship which was meant to hold six passengers but was instead carrying twenty, failed. Yusra, her siste
19、r Sarah, and the only two other strong swimmers aboard the boat had no choice but to dive into the ocean and use their superior swimming skills to push the boat and its passengers all the way to Lesbos, Greece A journey that took three hours.While her dream of representing her country was ruined, Yu
20、sra did not give up her desire to compete in the Olympics. In March 2016, she was one of ten athletes selected and funded by the Olympic Committee to form the first-ever “Refugee Team.” International Olympic Committee president Thomas Bach believes that Yusra and her teammates, who have also had to
21、flee their countries, “Will show the world that despite the unimaginable tragedies they have faced, anyone can compete, anyone can contribute to society through their talent, skill, and strength of the human spirit.”24.What is the right order of the events related to Yusra?a.She became a member of t

24、t 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 onl
25、ine forums(论坛), discussion boards and peer review. Students dont have to finish the courses, pass assessments or do assignments, but, if they do, they get a certificate of participation.The Open University launched FutureLearn, the UKs answer to US platforms such as Coursera, EdX and Udacity, which
26、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, including 13 universities
27、. “We already run 50 online masters degrees, so this was a logical expansion,” says Professor Jeff Haywood, Edinburghs vice-president. “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 y
28、ou 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
29、to offer 20-30 courses in your own areas of expertise (专门技能) and let other institutions do - 6 -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
30、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
31、January, and regards MOOCs as a way of breaking down age barriers. “Theres 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.27.

36、w study by the British government has discovered the mental well-being of the countrys teenage girls has worsened.The survey, which included 30,000 14-year-old students in 2005 and 2014, showed 37 percent of girls with psychological stress, up from 34 percent in 2005. British boys stress level was a
37、ctually seen to fall over the same time period, from 17 percent to 15 percent. The reports authors pointed out the “advent of the social media age” could be a major contributing factor for increasing stress among teenage British girls.“The adolescent years are a time of rapid physical, cognitive and
38、 emotional development,” Pam Ramsden, a lecturer in psychology at the University of Bradford in the United Kingdom, wrote in a recent blog post. “Teenagers interact with people in order to learn how to become competent adults. In the past, they would engage with parents, teachers and other adults in
39、 their community as well as extended family members and friends. Now we can also add social media to that list of social and emotional development.”Throughout adolescence, girls and boys develop characteristics like confidence and self-control. Since teenage brains have not completely developed, tee
40、ns dont have the cognitive awareness and impulse control to keep from posting inappropriate content. Furthermore, this content can easily be circulated far and wide with disastrous implications.Social media can also feed into girls insecurities about their appearance, Ramsden said. These sites are o
41、ften filled with images of people with body type unattainable to the normal person. However, these images and the messages tied to them creep into social standards.“Social media allows girls to make comparisons among friends as well as celebrities and then provides them with solutions such as extrem
42、e dieting tips and workouts to reach their goals,” Ramsden said. “Concerns about body image can negatively impact their quality of life preventing them from having healthy relationships and taking up time that could be better spent developing other aspects of their personalities.”31.
