One night, a young school teacher had a dream．In his dream, an angel appeared and said to him, "You will be given a child who will grow up to become a world  26 ．How will you prepare him so that he will realize his 27 , grow in confidence, be open-minded, and strong in character? In short, what kind of 28  will you provide so that he can become one of the truly  29 leaders?"

The young teacher 30  in a cold sweat．It had never 31  to him before --- any one of his present or future students could be the person  32  in his dream．Was he preparing them to  33  to any position which they want? He thought, "How might my  34 change if I knew that one of my students was this person?" He 35 began to develop a plan in his mind．

His teaching 36．Every young person who walked through his 37 became, for him, a future world leader．He saw each one, not as they were, but as they could be．He 38 the best from his students, yet tempered （使缓和） it with compassion （同情）．He taught each one 39 the future of the world depended on his instruction．

After many years, a man he taught rose to a 40 of world prominence （著名）．Of all the various teachers in his life, he was the 41 ．

Children are  42  messages we send to a time and place we will never see．Believe that one child's  43  may depend upon influence only you can provide, and something remarkable will 44 ．For no young person will ever be 45 to you again．And you will never be the same．

       At present, in many American cities especially, 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.

The underlined word “that” in Paragraph 1 refers to “      ”.

What is the present situation of the teaching?

       A．Teachers work harder and get underpaid.

Many public school teachers turn to other professions because        .

       A．the government doesn’t financially support them

       B．they have to work longer hours than a lawyer

       C．their students refuse to listen to them

The author believes that change in teachers’ status in the United States       .
