Passage 1

Is teaching important? Well, of course it is．There was a time when the necessary knowledge could be taught to the young by family members．But as societies became more complex and division of labor more common, it was impossible for family members to teach the information and skills young people needed to become useful members of the society．As the need for specialists appeared, the job of teaching came into being in our country, and teaching as a job has been of increasing importance over the past one hundred years．Today, we have strict rules for teachers．We hope all children can go to school．Many things tell us that teaching is indeed an “important” job.

In recent years, there has been an increasing need for teachers to be “responsible”．This means that the public expects teachers to succeed in teaching important information to the young．Teachers’ salaries today, while not much, certainly are much higher than they were in the past．These increases have come about because people have realized that without enough salaries, people who have abilities will not become teachers．Today almost no one says that “anybody will do” for a teacher．The public expects “quality people” to teach the young, and progress is being made to give salaries that will make people who have abilities become teachers.

31．Before the job of teaching came into being _____．

    A．family members had been responsible for the education of the young

    B．specialists had been in charge of teaching young people

    C．young people had to be self-educated

    D．the society had played an important role in educating young people

32．The job of teaching came into being mainly because of ____.

    A．the development of the society

    B．the explosion of information

    C．the need for engineers

    D．the civilization of human beings

33．Teachers’ salaries are raised today in order to _____.

    A．show the importance of teaching as a job

    B．attract more qualified people to become teachers

    C．make teachers “responsible” in their teaching

    D．improve the quality of public teaching

34．“Anybody will do” for a teacher (in paragraph 2) means that______.

    A．almost all people want to become teachers

    B．a teacher is so highly respected that people all want to help him

    C．a teacher will do whatever he can for his students

    D．the job of teaching is so easy that everybody can do it

35．The main idea of the passage is that ______.

    A．greater progress has to be made in teaching

    B．enough salaries are necessary in making “quality people” become teachers

    C．it is important to be successful in teaching the young

D．teaching is a product of the society’s division of labor

Fred was in low spirits one day．He usually dealt with this state of mind by avoiding people until the mood passed．But on this day Fred had an important meeting with his boss, so he decided to put on a happy look．During the meeting Fred smiled, joked and played the part of a happy, good-natured person．To his surprise, he soon discovered he was no longer depressed.

Smile to cheer yourself up.

Relax to reduce anxiety or fear.
