I had mved t Israel frm my native India the year befre, excited t experience a new culture and study fr a Ph. D. At first things went well in my new lab. Then, 3 mnths befre I was fired, I ran int sme prblems. I made a few mistakes in the lab that slwed my research, but I wasn’t aware that my adviser nticed them, and he never spke t me abut any cncerns. I’m still nt sure why he fired me, but I guess it was because f thse mistakes. He wasn’t cnfident that I culd cmplete my research in time as we’d planned.
The first few days after I was fired were especially difficult. I spent hurs staring at my cmputer screen, unable t get anything dne. One day all I culd d was sit n a beach, crying. I tried t change his mind with prmising results, but he wuldn’t change his decisin. I culd nt tell the news t my family in India, as the fear f disappinting them verwhelmed（压垮）me. I sn gt int a state f sadness and anxiety. Meanwhile, the date fr me t leave the cuntry was drawing near, as my visa required me t be registered（注册）as a student. I was lnely and withut hpe.
Arund that time, I watched Dasvidaniya, a Bllywd mvie that’s abut a man wh has 3 mnths t live. One line frm the mvie impressed me: “When life gives yu lemns, make lemnade（柠檬水）”.What kind f lemnade culd I make ut f my present situatin? My wish t cmplete a Ph. D. was never in dubt. Finally, I tld myself that ne failure was nt the end f the wrld, and that I needed t give it anther try. With renewed cnfidence, I applied fr ther prgrams. Within 2 mnths, I landed an ffer frm a Ph.D. prgram in Italy. I gladly accepted it, happy that my gal f cmpleting a Ph. D. was alive nce again.
I’m thankful that I didn’t give up n my dream and that I fund anther prfessr willing t take me n.

Fr many years the schl system in Finland has been very successful. In the PISA survey, which cmpares reading, math and science knwledge f 15-year-lds arund the wrld, Finland is nt nly the tp Eurpean cuntry but als cmpetes with Asian giants like Shanghai, Singapre and Suth Krea. But what makes the educatinal system in this small cuntry s different frm thers in the western wrld?
Until the 1960s Finland’s schl system had been influenced largely by its neighbr, the Sviet Unin. Mst students left schl after six years; sme went n t private schls. Only the wealthy nes gt a better educatin. In the middle f the 1960s the Finnish gvernment saw the need t change and mdernize（使现代化）their educatin system if they wanted t be internatinally cmpetitive. Lawmakers made a simple decisin: a basic schl fr all the 7- t 16-year-lds. Cmpulsry educatin（义务教育）begins at 7. The gvernment makes it pssible fr all children t attend preschl（幼儿园）as well.
Mst f Finland’s schls get their mney frm the gvernment. The peple wh are in charge f the educatin system, frm teachers t fficials are trained teachers, nt pliticians like in ther cuntries.
Teachers wrk with their pupils in schl as much as pssible. When teachers are nt with the pupils, they spend a lt f time in schls wrking n the curriculum（课程）and new prjects. Schls in Finland are small, at least fr internatinal standards. S teachers knw every pupil in their schl and try everything t succeed with their pupils. That is why drput rates are lw cmpared t ther cuntries. In cntrast t ther natins, teachers in Finland are highly respected. Finland selects its teachers very carefully: nly talented students g n t a university and receive a master’s degree in educatin. Finland nly takes the best t educate its yuth.
All Finnish children, whether they cme frm the city r the cuntry, whether frm a rich r pr family, have the same chances in educatin. There are nt s many differences between the wealthy and pr, as in America r ther western Eurpean cuntries. Educatin experts say that there is very little difference between very gd and the wrst students. Tw thirds f Finnish pupils mve n t higher educatin, the highest rate in the Eurpean Unin.
28. The authr mentins Shanghai, Singapre and Suth Krea t shw______.
A. Asian cuntries are successful in schl educatin
B. the schl system in Finland has been very successful
C. students in these places are better than thse in Eurpean cuntries
D. the educatinal system in Asia is different frm that in the western wrld
29. What did the Finland gvernment d in the middle f the 1960s?
A. They changed the schl system.
B. They lengthened（延长）preschl educatin.
C. They encuraged students t g t private schl.
D. They learned mdern educatin frm neighbring cuntries.
30. We can learn frm the text that ______.
A. the children in Finland are educated equally
B. the children in Finland attend preschl at the age f six
C. the schl system in Finland is better than that in Singapre
D. the schl equipment in Finland desn’t meet internatinal standards
31. What can be the best title fr the text?

Clintn, a prfessr at Ohi State University. “Fr fruits and vegetables, smetimes a little bit f cking can be helpful.”
A number f factrs decide hw the vegetables d gd t peple’s health befre they reach the table, including where and hw they were grwn and stred befre being bught. N single cking way is best. Sme nutrients are easily lst in cking if they are cked in different ways.
Vitamins C and B are ften lst. In January, anther reprt said that biling was better fr carrts than frying r serving them raw. Frying was the wrst way t ck.
What cked with the vegetables can als be imprtant? When the vegetables were cked with fat, the diners can get mre nutrients. Fat can als make the taste f vegetables better, meaning that peple will eat mre f them. Putting n sme ther things that make it taste better—a little salt—can make the fd taste better.
