19．Schools are finding many ways to deal with teacher shortages as the school year is coming．But what really needs to be done to fix this annual problem，says The New York Times'Frank Bruni，is to give the teaching profession a reboot．Teaching has become one of the least popular profes-sions．When the economy improves，people turn their attention elsewhere，to professions that promise more money，more independence，or more respect．
With starting salaries for teachers hardly reaching¥30，000per year，any student graduation from college with student debts is going to turn to professions that can promise more money．The av-erage teacher is struggling to provide for families and keep up with financial plans．
As for independence，the political battles over education，along with the lasting discussion on what's the best education，have left many teachers feeling like punching bags（攻击目标）．Policy-makers don't know what's actually occurring inside the classroom，and make legislation（法规）without considering teachers'opinions．Also，licensing requirement differences across states make it difficult for teachers to find jobs in other states．
Bruni says the first step in fixing the mess has to start with adding the respect that hard-work-ing educators need and deserve．"To do this is to make becoming a teacher more attractive．"Bruni said，and mentioned Finland，where teachers are highly respected because entering the profession needs strict training．
The development and prosperity（繁荣）of our nation depend on teaching no less than on Wall Street's plans or Silicon Valley's innovations（革新）．So let's make the classroom．destination as exciting and meaningful as any other．
28．According to the text，why do graduates not want to be teachersD
A．They think the job is tiring．
B．They have to support their families．
C．It is hard for them to get a teaching license．

29．The underlined words"a reboot"in Paragraph 1can best be replaced by"B"．
A．a reasonable explanation
B．active encouragement
C．a new meaning
D．a fair judgment
30．Teachers lack independence because-D

Dear Sir to Madam,

I am glad to have read your advertisement.___________________________________________________________

____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Yours truly,

Li Hua

I’m part of the Roots & Shoots program founded by Dr. Jane Goodall. The program is intended to make and promote positive changes in the world. As Dr. Goodall says, “What you do makes a difference, and you have to decide what kind of difference you want to make.”

In Bulgaria, where I live, homeless dogs are everywhere. Many people here turn a blind eye to them. But I cannot ignore the life of a street dog whenever I see one wandering in the street, looking for something to eat. That’s why I’m no longer a food waster. When I see wasted food, I always think of a hungry dog climbing to garbage bins, searching for food that people have thrown there. When eating in a restaurant, I’m not afraid to take leftover food to feed stray cats or dogs.

A week ago, I saw a homeless dog around the garbage bins. Immediately I knelt down, spoke to her softly and ran my hands over her. I could see that she had had puppies. I couldn’t imagine how she could have been able to care for them. Hours earlier, I’d bagged up a plate of leftover fish. As I unwrapped it, she wagged her tail and sniffed at it. She ate all the fish in no time.

It’s sad, isn’t it? I can’t understand why many of us waste so much and think little of it. These homeless animals have taught me that food is precious. Even when I don’t have leftovers with me, I’ll take the time to get something from the grocery store to feed them.

I know my power is small, so I hope that next time you see wasted food, do turn it into worthy food. You have the power to save a life!

Dictionaries are not closed books. There is still plenty of room for more words in these great vocabulary authorities.

Dictionaries are not closed books. There is still plenty of room for more words in these great vocabulary authorities. New words are continually being created and added to our language. And many of today's word experts can credit a famous mathematician with the creation of the method by which they develop many new words. The mathematician was an Englishman named Charles L. Dodgson. In addition to working with figures, Dodgson wrote books. His imaginative stories and poems have made Dodgson beloved to generations of readers. We know him, however, not by the name of Dodgson but by his pen name, Lewis Carroll.

Lewis Carroll has delighted countless readers, young and old, with Alice in Wonderland, Through the Looking Glass, and numerous poems. In these works, Carroll developed dozens of nonsensical words such as "chortle" and "galumph". Many of these words are combined naturally with more common words in the English language. Carroll referred to his made-up words as "portmanteau" words, named after a kind of leather suitcase that opens into two compartments. The name was well suited, because most of Carroll's words had two compartments. Rather than being entirely fabricated（虚构）, they were usually made from the combined parts of two different words. A "snark", for example, clearly came from a snake and a shark.

Although Carroll died long ago, his technique continues to be used today. We clearly see his influence in such words as smog, brunch, and guesstimate.

Lisa, a middle-aged woman, went to prepare lunch, leaving her 3-year-old son, Barney, playing by himself in the backyard.

All of a sudden, a sharp cry of Barney came into the mother's ears, and Lisa rushed into the backyard and found a big snake entwining（纠缠） the little child with its body and trying to swallow the boy. Lisa was terrified and quite angry. She made up her mind to save her son from the snake's mouth.

It was a fearless mother's love that made Lisa forget what she faced. She took up an old hatchet （斧头）from the ground and struck the snake with all her strength.

One...two... With the hatchet, Lisa hit the snake again and again, but she felt as if she were striking a mass of solid(坚固的) rubber. The little boy's voice and breath were getting weaker and weaker. Lisa's heart was broken and she nearly went mad.

Suddenly Lisa put aside the hatchet and threw herself on to the snake, opened her mouth and bit into its back, as if tearing a tough steak（牛排）. Lisa was really mad.

A small piece of flesh was bitten off. Lisa picked up the hatchet again and hit at the wound in the snake's back madly and savagely.

Stinking blood was spraying out of the snake's body. The snake was so badly wounded that it let go of Barney and moved back into the forest. It had never imagined that human beings had such terrible, sharp teeth. Halfway home, the snake died.

1.Why did Lisa fail in killing the snake at first?

A. Because she was afraid that what she did would hurt her son.

B. Because the hatchet was not sharp enough and the snake's skin was too hard.

C. Because the snake was even stronger than Lisa.

D. Because she was too astonished to do anything.

2.________, so she bit the snake.
