The World Declaration on Education for All (1990)(《全民教育世界宣言》) was mainly about how necessary it is to provide education for all children, youth and adults. It meets their needs and useful skills to their lives. They believe that good quality education, provided by trained teachers, is the right of all children, youth and adults. The basic skills, knowledge, values and attitudes should be included. What's more, creative thinking, problem solving and lifelong learning abilities are also important.

Teachers are important for improving learning. People all know this. They have a powerful influence on the quality of student learning. However, many countries, especially the developing countries, are short of qualified(合格的) teachers—in 1/3 of countries with data, less than 3/4 of teachers are trained to national standards. By 2030, 28 countries will not have enough primary school teachers and over 3.4 million new primary teachers will be needed. Also, teachers are paid poorly. Teacher payment is below US$10 per day in 8 countries.

According to a research, 38% of children are not learning the basics in reading and math. And over one-half of them have spent 4 years in school.

There are only three important days in everyone’s life and two of them are the ones that you don't need to worry about. Serigne Fallou Mbacke, a man of God, who lived in Senegal (West Africa) between 1888 and 1968, used to say, “The day is today, it is the only day, the past is gone and will never come back and the future belongs to God.”

Harriet Beecher Stowe, 1811—1896, author of Uncle Tom’s Cabin, once said almost the same thing, “The past, the present, and the future are really one: they are today.”

We all know that many people spend one half of their days regretting for the past, and the other half worrying about the future, leaving no time to enjoy the present when everything happens. How can such people get ahead in life? People all over the world have made countless discussions on the subject but it does not seem to make a difference. Most of us are still everywhere but in the present.

As the saying goes, if you do what everybody does, you will get what everybody gets! Make a difference, and live in the present. It will help you achieve more, become a better person and live a happier life, a life without worries.

Today is all you have. There is no guarantee ( 保證 )that you will live to see tomorrow and there is not a thing you can change about the past. Dennis Waitley who is a speaker and author puts it so beautifully in one of his books: The past is a cancelled check, the future is a promissory note ( 期 票 ), but the present, the present is liquid cash.

Always remember that today is a gift and that is the reason why it is called the present.

1.Which of the following statements is NOT true?

A.The future belongs to God. B.No one can change the past.

C.Living in today will help you achieve more. D.We are sure that we will live to see tomorrow.

2.Who described the three important days as "check, note and cash"?

A.The writer. B.Serigne Fallou Mbacke.

C.Harriet Beecher Stowe. D.Dennis Waitley.

3.Why is today called the present according to the passage?

A.Because today is a gift.

B.Because people are always worrying about today.

C.Because people are always' worrying about the future.

D.Because people have made countless discussions on the subject.

4.Which of the following words can best describe the author's attitude towards "today"?

A.Unconcerned. B.Negative. C.Favorable. D.Doubtful.
