20．One of the requirements of every graduation ceremony speaker is that they offer some advice．Well，get ready，here it comes．
Soon you will be leaving the company of those who think they have all the answers-your professors，instructors and counselors-and going out into what we like to call the real world．In time you will meet up with other people who think they have all the answers．These people are called bosses．My advice is：humor them．
A little later you'll meet additional people who think they have all the answers．
These are called spouses （配偶）．My advice is：humor them，too．
And of all goes well，in a few years you will meet still another group of people who think they have all the answers．These are called children．Humor them．
Life will go on，your children will grow up，go to school and someday they could be taking part in a graduation ceremony just like this one．And who knows，the speakers responsible for handing out good advice might be you．Halfway through your speech，the graduate sitting next to your daughter will lean over and ask，"Who is that woman up there who thinks she has all the answers？"
Well，thanks to the reasonable advice you are hearing today and that I hope you will all pass on，she will be able to say，"That is my mother．Humor her．"

27．答案是C．细节理解题，根据文章第二段可以看出公司员工和老板都认为你拥有了答案，根据句子"These are called spouses （配偶）"，"another group of people who think they have all the answers．These are called children．"由此可见选项中的A、B、D都提到了，没有提到的是选项C，休闲和体育人员，所以答案选C．
28．答案是A．推理判断题，根据文中写到会有不同的人你的老板，公司的员工，你的配偶还有孩子都会认为"you have all the answers"，可见这不是在学校的时候，或者是在课本上更不会是毕业之前，所以B、C、D选项的时间都是不对的，那么A选项through man's life是符合have all the answers的时间要求的，故答案选A．
