far too many.this is life，all right, but we do treat it like a rehearsal (排演) and，unhappily, we do miss so many of its best moments.we take jobs to stay alive and provide homes for our families，always making ourselves believe that this style of life is only a temporary (暂时的) state of affairs along the road to what we really want to do. then，at 60 or 65，we are suddenly given a clock and several grandchildren and we look back and realize that all those years waiting for real life to come along were in fact real life.in america they have a saying much laughed at by the english：“have a nice day.”they speak slowly and seriously in their shops，hotels and sandwich bars.i think it is a wonderful phrase，making us remember, in effect，to enjoy the moment：to value this very day.how often do we say to ourselves，“ill take up horseriding(or golf, or sailing)as soon as i get a greater job，”only to do none of those things when we do get the higher position (职位)when i first became a reporter i knew a man who gave up a very wellpaid respectable job at daily telegraph to go and work for a small weekly newspaper.at the time i was surprised by his decision：why was he in this completely abnormal (反常的) mental (精神) state? how could anyone turn_his_back on fleet street in central london for a small area in the countryside? i wanted to know.now when i am a little older and possibly wiser, i see the sense in it. in fleet street the man was under continual pressure.he lived in all unattractive london suburb (郊区) and he spent much of his life sitting on southern region trains to and back from his work.29the first paragraph of the passage tells us that _.a. we always try to find some time to write a bookb. we always make plans but seldom complete themc. we always enjoy many of lifes best momentsd. we always do what we really want to do30the underlined phrase“turn his back”(paragraph 6)most probably means _.a. leave forb. return to c. give upd. rely on31the man left his first job because he was _.a. in an abnormal mental stateb. under too much pressurec. not wellpaidd. not respected32what is probably the best title for the passage?a. provide homes for our familyb. take up horseridingc. value this very day d. stay alivedrecently, weve been talking about how we need better teachers. theres no doubt that a great teacher can help in a students achievement but heres what some new studies are also showing: we need better parents. every three years, the organization called o.e.c.d. organizes exams as part of the program for international student assessment (评估), or pisa, which tests 15-year-olds on their abilities to solve real problems. americas 15-year-olds have not done as well as students in singapore, finland and shanghai in the pisa exams. to better understand the reasons, the pisa team, starting with four countries in 2006, and then adding 14 more in 2009, went to the parents of 5,000 students. they interviewed them about how they raised their kids and then compared it with the test results for each of those years. two weeks ago, the pisa team published the main findings of its study: fifteen-year-olds whose parents often read books with them during their first year of primary school get much higher scores in pisa 2009 than students whose parents dont often read with them or not at all. parents concern for their children is strongly connected with better results in pisa. according to schleicher, the leader of the team, just asking your children how their school day was and showing great interest in their learning can help a lot. it is something every parent can do, no matter what their education level. the study found that getting parents concerned about their childrens learning at home is more powerful than parents attending parent-teacher meetings, volunteering in classrooms, taking part in money-raising, and showing up at back-to-school nights. to be sure, nothing can replace a good teacher. but lets stop putting the whole responsibility on teachers. we also need better parents. better parents can make teaching more effective (有效的). 33. the study was done in _ countries in total in 2009. a. 4 b. 14 c. 18 d. 4034. it is suggested in the study that parents should _. a. try to search for better teachers b. put the whole duty on teachers c. care about their childrens school life d. ask their children to read more books35. whats the best title for the passage?
