Passage I
Many people thought babies were not able to learn things until they were five or six months old. But doctors now say babies can do that on their first day of life. A baby will smile if his or her mother does something the baby likes. A baby learns to get the best care by smiling to please her mother or other care givers. This is when babies learn to connect and “talk” with other people.
Babies really talk with caregivers by learning some language skills in the first three years when the place is rich with sounds and sights. Scientists say children should hear the speech and language of other people again and again. The first signs of communication happen during the first few days of life, when a baby learns that crying will bring food and attention.
Research shows that most children recognize the general sounds of their native language by six months of age. By that time, a baby usually begins to make sounds. By the end of their first year, most children are able to say a few simple words, although they may not understand the meaning of the words. By 18 months of age, most children are able to make simple sentences. By ages three, four and five, the number of words a child can understand quickly increases. It is at these ages that children begin to understand the rules of language.
21. When do babies begin to learn according to doctors?
A. Right after they are born.
B. Not until they are five months old.
C. When they are six months old.
22. Babies will simile when.
A. they are wet or hungry
B. they want to get the best care
C. they want to talk to others
23. What do most children begin to do from age three or older?
A. Make sounds.
B. Make simple sentences.
C. Understand language rules.
24. If children cannot hear the speech and language of other people again and again in the first three years, ________________.
A. they will miss the right time for language learning
B. they can still learn languages as the others
C. it will not cause any effect on them
25. What would be the best title for the passage?
A. The Language of Babies.
B. When Do Babies Learn to Talk.
C. The Roles of Cry and Smile.

Passage 2
Free Massive Online Open Courses (MOOCs)
A class with hundreds or even thousands of students might sound like a teacher’s worst nightmare. But a big idea in higher education these days is Massive Open Online Courses, or MOOCs.
Some universities offer free, non-credit MOOCs available to anyone in the world. Others charge for courses and provide credits. The idea is still developing. The Massachusetts Institute of Technology started its first MOOC in 2012. The school plans to offer many free, non-credit courses through a project called MITx. Many Chinese universities are beginning to offer free MOOCs now too.
Nowadays, MOOCs almost cover every topic, like computer science, technology,
mechanics, engineering, languages, etc.
Generally speaking, there are no formal education requirements for these free online courses. Students watch short videos. Then, they take informal, ungraded quizzes after the videos each week for certain weeks. Quizzes are part of the lecture program to keep students engaged and keep them thinking, for students to be able to check that they understood what was covered. They can repeatedly watch the videos and take the quizzes whenever they want. Students receive homework. They can join online groups to exchange questions and answers about the courses. The teachers hold virtual office hours to answer questions that the students have posted. They also present their own questions and observations.
Some supporters claimed that there are things that we can do better in the online format. We can certainly deliver high-quality education to many students at much lower cost.
26. Some universities offer free, non-credit MOOCs only available to the people in the U. S
27. Quizzes are part of the lecture program to check how many credits students may get.
28. Students may have homework.
29. The MOOCs are of both high quality and low cost.
30. It is probable that some Chinese are taking MOOCs.
