Read the following passage carefully:

Marie Curie was my hero
You may not have heard of Dr Karimat El- Sayed, but in 2003 she won an award as one of the best women scientists in the world. At the time, she was a science professor at Ain Shams University in Cairo and won the award for her work on the structure of metal.

Dr El-Sayed is special in the world of science because she was the first Egyptian woman to receive one of these awards. As an enthusiastic scientist, she has spent much of her career encouraging other women to become scientists. She said in an interview that despite being a grandmother, she was still working because she loved it.

As a girl at secondary school, Dr El-Sayed heard about the discoveries of the energetic French woman scientist, Marie Curie, and decided that she wanted to be a scientist herself. El-Sayed worked very hard at school and was good at Science and Maths. However, it was not common for women to go to university at this time, so it took her a long time to get her family to agree to the idea.

In her early twenties, after graduating, El-Sayed travelled to Britain to continue her studies. There, she was inspired by one of her teachers who was also a scientist. Later, El-Sayed married a man who was also a research scientist.

Now, as well as her other work, Dr El-Sayed travels round Egypt meeting groups of girls and encouraging them to think seriously about careers in science.

Read the following passage carefully:

Distance learning
When people cannot leave their jobs or families to study at a university, they may choose to continue their studies through long distance learning. This means that they can study online and at home using books, CDs and DVDs that are sent by a university. There are also teachers that can be contacted for advice by phone or by e-mail. Some courses include summer schools and study days, usually at weekends, when students can travel to a study centre near to where they live. Students are tested on work they do during the course and they also have to take formal exams.

The British Open University, better known as the OU, was the first university to provide degrees through distance learning. The first students started their courses in 1971, and since then it has had more than three million students. It is now Britain's largest university with nearly 200,000 students. First degree courses, like BA or BSc courses, are open to everyone. For this reason, the OU attracts many mature students who did not have the chance to go to university when they were younger. It is also possible to study for a higher degree, like an MSc. A small number of OU students are under 20 years old, but most are between the ages of 25 and 44. The oldest graduate was a man of 94.

As well as providing courses for British students, OU courses are available to students in other parts of the world. About 25,000 students live outside Britain. Most students are in full-time work and many have their courses paid for by their employers. Many companies are happy to pay for such courses because they know they will have better employees as a result.
