But beneath his academic success , Perry faced a world of troubles , and while it took a while to get to know him , eventually his problems came pouring out .
The problems weren ' t what I ' d expected / though . Perry wasn ' t being abused by anyone , he didn ' t do drugs , vand his family wasn ' t always arguing . Rather , at first glance , his problems would seem more like typical adolescent complaints . And they were , in a way .
But it was only as I got to understand him that L realized that Perry ' s adolescent problems had grown to the point where they cast a large shadow over much of his day - to - day world . And he wasn ' t alone in that aspect .
One big problem was that while Perry was a strong achiever , he was not at all a happy one ." I hate waking up in the morning , because there ' s all this stuff I have to do ," he said ." I just keep making lists of things to do and checking them off each day so I can get into a good college ." Once he got started , Perry ' s discontent spilled out ." There ' s so much to do , and ' I have to ... It ' s just stupid !"
Perry was well loved by his parents . But in their efforts to nurture and support him , his parents increased his mental stress : Over time , they had taken on all his household chores , in order to leave hum more time for schoolwork and activities . Perry never really did anything for anyone except use up their time and money , and he knew it . And if he thought about backing off on his schoolwork ..., well , look how much his parents were pouring into making it go well . Trapped between anger and guilt , Perry had begun to . wither (消沉).

Carlos Slim’s proposal that we work a three - day week sounds crazy. But many ,in 1922, thought Henry Ford crazy when he announced that his staff would work a five - day week .
Our working week seems normal to us because it is what we all always do . He certainly could be for those he was most concerned about when he made his three - day - week statement at a business conference in Paraguay : the workers who are not ready to retire . As Mr . Slim said , it no longer makes sense for people to stop working in their fifties or sixties when they may still have up to a third of their lives ahead of them ." People are going to have to work for more years , until they are 70 or 75, and just work three days a week - perhaps 11 hours a day ." he said .
Keeping older employees at work makes sense for societies , especially those with a diminishing
number of young people who are expected to support long - living retirees .
He appeared to be suggesting that these short - week workers earn the same as they did full - time . That is what happens at Telmex , his Mexican fixed - line phone company , where those qualified for retirement can choose to work four - day weeks on full pay .
Older workers elsewhere might prefer shorter weeks on reduced pay - and eight or nine - hour days rather than 11. Their companies might value keeping their experience while saving money on their salaries . What about everyone else ? There are those who are unemployed , or in unstable jobs , who would be delighted to have three secure , well - paid days of work a week .
Shorter weeks don ' t work in every job , but they work in more jobs than most tradition - bound managers think . Agreeing to them requires two shifts in management thinking . The first is the realization that much of the time spent in offices is wasted anyway . Second , senior executives need ro understand that the best way to measure people is by the work they produce - not by how much time they spend at their desks .
People living longer , in better health , are changing working life too . Mr . Slim ' s idea is in tune
with the times .
28.According to paragraph 2. why did Mr . Slim think it unwise for people in their fifties or sixties to retire ?
A . Because they have longer life to live in their future .
B . Because they have children and old parents to support
C . Because they have much interest in their present work .
D . Because they have more experience than young workers .
29. What can we infer from the passage ?
A . The decision of working five days a week by Ford was considered normal in the past .
B.Old people continuing working can reduce young people ' s pressure to support their old
parents
C. Some companies don ' t want their old workers to go on working because they can save money .
D. Much time spent at work is wasted if managers don ' t agree to reduce old employees ' working
time .
30 . What does the underlined phrase " in tune with " mean in the last paragraph ?
A . Different from . B . Superior to .
C . Far from . D . Consistent with .
31. What is the best title for this passage ?
A . Retire Or Not , This Is A Question !
B . Shorter Weeks Is Welcome By All
C . Working Three Days A Week : A Great Idea
D . Carlos Slim - Crazy For More Resting Time
D
Housing ranks high among the numerous challenges that sfill need to be overcome before humans can colonize （征服） Mars . The brave pionecrs that make the six - month voyage to the Red Planet will need a place to live in as soon as they land . While the best solution would be to have the structures ready before they get there . it has so far been a challenge given that most construction robots have never made it out of the laboratory . Now , there may be a bit of hope thanks to Massachusetts Institute of Technology ' s newly revealed Digital Construction Platform ( DCP ).
The DCP comprises a double arm system that is fitted on a tracked vehicle . As the larger arm moves , the smaller . precision motor robotic arm builds the structure by shooting out the necessary construction material . ranging from insulation foam(绝缘泡沫) to concrete .The team of researchers led by Ph . D .. Steven Keating say that unlike other 3- D printers that are limited to building objects that fit within their overall enclosure , DCP ' s free moving systems can be used to construct structures of any size .
The team recently demonstrated the DCP ' s building skills on an empty field in Mountain View , CA . The robot began / by creating a mold with expanding foam that hardens when dry . It then · constructed the building , layer by layer , using sensors to raise itself higher as it progressed . The final product was a sturdy " home " that had 50- foot diameter walls and a 12- foot high roof with room for essentials like electricity wires and watér pipes to be inserted inside . Even more impressive ?- It took - a mere 14- hours - to -" print "!
The researchers ' next plan is to make the DCP smart enough to analyze the environment where the structure is going to be built and determine the material densities best suited for the area . However , that ' s not even the best part . Future DCP models are going to be > solar - powered , autonomous , and most importantly , capable of sourcing construction components from its surroundings . This means the robot can be sent to remote disaster - stricken areas , and perhaps oven to Mars ,t0 build shelters using whatever material is available .
32. What can . we . learn from the first paragraph ?
A . Colonizing Mars is a reality .
B . Housing on Mars is the only problem .
C . Finding a liveable place on Mars is a top priority .
D . Building structures on Mars is in the testing phases .
33.How does the DCP differ from other 3- D printers ?
A . It consumes less time .
B . It has two arms that can move .
C . It is more environmentally friendly ,
D . It can build more diverse structures .
33. What is the third paragraph mainly about ?
A . The successful case of the DCP .
B . The working principle of the DCP .
C . The instructions of using the DCP .
D . The limitation of the DCP ' s function .
34. What might be the biggest highlight of future DCP models ?
A . Being powered by solar .
B . Building shelters anywhere .
C . Collecting building materials on site .
D.Analyzing building material densities .

Luckily , I received a position as an after - school program tutor at a local middle school , with the added benefit of completing English education degree . I had the opportunity to go big ! The kids would need me -
a role model and a trustworthy friend , I believed .
But my first day was welcomed by the students ' indifference(冷漠) . The desks were messy and the whole room smelled of dirty gym socks . My excitement began to die down . I doubted whether the new job was a mistake . The playground activity was deafening while homework time was not much better .

backpack and grew mad as I tried to urge him to take the right attitude ."1 don ' t like you . homework and this after - school program ! All you guys do is yell at me . I ' m never coming back ." he walked out of the classroom . slamming the door .
Naturally . I was so frustrated （挫败的）. I wondered why I was here . Most kids disrespected me ! I paused to take a deep breath . Then suddenly I thought to myself ." You said you would never serve people again . but you don ' t understand what these kids really need ." At that moment . I remembered my middle - school life . I always had a poor attitude . never did my schoolwork . repeatedly got into fights . and disrespected my elders .
