In setting out its plans for a five­term year, Nottingham City Council (委员会)is seeking to reduce the summer holiday down lo four and a half weeks, with a more balanced five terms of roughly eight weeks, each followed by a two­week break. We believe this will give real “down time” for school staff and pupils alike but will be short enough not to cause a real break in learning.

　　We acknowledge that this change may be difficult for some school staff, particularly whose own children are educated in other authorities. However, this must be weighed against the benefits for city children for whom we all have the greatest duty of care.

　　文章大意：本文是一篇调查报告。文章讲述了是否应该缩短学生暑假的问题。

　　29．The passage is probably written by ________.

　　A．an experienced teacher

　　B．a city council member

　　C．an inspired student

　　D．a working parent

　　答案：B　考查推理判断。根据文章倒数第二段中的In setting out its plans for a five­term year, Nottingham City Council(委员会)is seeking to reduce the summer holiday down to four and a half weeks, with a more balanced five terms of roughly eight weeks, each followed by a two­week break.可知，关于放假的问题是Nottingham City Council探讨的事情，所以这篇文章应该是一名委员会成员写的。故选B。
