landing a large airliner, a320 etc

Hi All


I have been having lessons in a c152 over the last year or so, recently got to the landing stage.


My question is, are the same techniques used in large airliners such as an a320 etc, when I see these large aircraft land, the nose generally seems nose high on approach, whereas in a light aircraft the nose seems low then raise at the end.
What height is the flare normally for these?
when descending from say 30000ft, do they normally put the throttles to idle to descend?
sorry if they seem basic questions
cheers
