At present, in many American cities expecially, many teachers in the public schools say they are underpaid. They point to jobs such as secretary or truck driver, which often pay more to start than that of a teacher. In many other fields, such as law, medicine, computer science, a beginning worker may make more than a teacher who has taught for several years.
Teaching has never been a profession that attracted people interested in high salaries. It is by history a profession that has provided rewards in addition to money—the satisfaction of sharing knowledge, of influencing others, of guiding young people. But in the past several years, there are more difficulties in teaching, for many, than there are rewards.
Unruly students, especially in big cities, large classes and a lack of support from the public in terms of money and understanding have led many public school teachers to leave the profession.
As a result, many of the best students, who would have chosen teaching as their life career in the past, are going into other fields.
Another reason for this change in teacher candidates is the changing status of women in the United States. Until the late 1960s and 1970s, one of the most popular choices for women was teaching. But as other professions, such as law and medicine opened up to women, women stopped pouring into teacher training programs. Thus, a major pool of excellent candidates for the teaching profession dwindled.
Bit by bit government officials and others realized that the status of the teacher had suffered. They talked about change. But the change in a vast society like the United States is not easy. People’s attitudes have formed over many years, and sometimes change takes many years.
1.The underlined word “that” in Paragraph 1 refers to “_________”.
A.money B.job C.secretary D.truck driver
2.What is the present situation of the teaching?
A.Teachers work harder and get underpaid.
B.Teahcers have no opportunities to work in other fields.
C.Teaching can attract best students to work as a teacher.
D.Teaching can provide rewards as well as high salaries.
3.Many public school teachers turn to other professions because_________.
A.the government doesn’t finacially support them
B.they have to work longer hours than a lawyer
C.their students refuse to listen to them
D.they are not fairly treated
4.The author believes that change in teachers’ status in the United States_________.
A.is not great B.is impossible
C.influences people’s attitude D.needs time

I had a very special teacher many years ago whose husband died suddenly of a heart attack. About a week after his 36 , she shared her insights(頓悟) with the students. When the class was nearly over, she 37 and said, “I would like to 38 with all of you a thought that has 39 to do with class, but which I feel is very 40 .
“Each of us is put here on the 41 to learn, share, love and appreciate ourselves. None of us knows when this 42 will end. At any moment it can be 43 . Perhaps this is life’s way of telling us that we must make good 44 of every day.” Her eyes beginning to 45 ,she went on saying, “So I would like you all to 46 me. From now on, on your way home, find something 47 to notice. It doesn’t have to be something you see- it could be scent(香味) of fresh bread, or it could be the 48 of the wind slightly rustling(發(fā)出沙沙聲) the leaves.”
“Please look for these things, and 49 them. The little things we are put here on the earth to enjoy. They are 50 observing , for at any time they can all be taken away.”
The class was totally quiet. We all picked up our books and went out of the room 51 . That afternoon, on my way home I noticed 52 things than before. Every time I think of that teacher and remember what a(n) 53 she made on all of us, I try to 54 all of those things that sometimes we all ignore. For as we get older, it is not the things we did that we often regret, 55 the things we didn’t do.

My family and I lived across the street from Southway Park since I was four years old. Then just last year the city put a chain link fence around the park and started bulldozing (用推土機(jī)推平) the trees and grass to make way for a new apartment complex. When I saw the fence and bulldozers, I asked myself, “Why don't they just leave it alone?”
Looking back, I think what sentenced the park to oblivion (被遺忘) was the drought (旱災(zāi)) we had about four years ago. Up until then, Southway Park was a nice green park with plenty of trees and a public swimming pool. My friends and I rollerskated on the sidewalks, climbed the trees, and swam in the pool all the years I was growing up. The park was almost like my own yard. Then the summer I was fifteen the drought came and things changed.
There had been almost no rain at all that year. The city stopped watering the park grass. Within a few weeks I found myself living across the street from a huge brown desert. Leaves fell off the park trees, and pretty soon the trees started dying, too. Next, the park swimming pool was closed. The city cut down on the work force that kept the park, and pretty soon it just got too ugly and dirty to enjoy anymore.
As the drought lasted into the fall, the park got worse every month. The rubbish piled up or blew across the brown grass. Soon the only people in the park were beggars and other people down on their luck. People said drugs were being sold or traded there now. The park had gotten scary, and my mother told us kids not to go there anymore.
The drought finally ended and things seemed to get back to normal, that is, everything but the park. It had gotten into such bad shape that the city just let it stay that way. Then about six months ago I heard that the city was going to “redevelop” certain worn-out areas of the city. It turned out that the city had planned to get rid of the park, sell the land and let someone build rows of apartment buildings on it.
The chain-link fencing and the bulldozers did their work. Now we live across the street from six rows of apartment buildings. Each of them is three units high and stretches a block in each direction. The neighborhood has changed without the park. The streets I used to play in are jammed with cars now. Things will never be the same again. Sometimes I wonder, though, what changes another drought would make in the way things are today.
1. How did the writer feel when he saw the fence and bulldozers.'?
A.Scared. B. Confused. C. Upset. D. Curious.
2. Why was the writer told not to go to the park by his mother?
A.It was being rebuilt. B. It was dangerous.
C. It became crowded. D. It had turned into a desert.
3. According to the writer, what eventually brought about the disappearance of the park?
A. The drought. B. The crime.
C. The beggars and the rubbish. D. The decisions of the city.
4. The last sentence of the passage implies that if another drought came, .
A. the situation would be much worse
B. people would have to desert their homes
C. the city would be fully prepared in advance
D. the city would have to redevelop the neighborhood
