Maggiano is an award-winning teacher in the Social Studies Department at West Springfield High School in Virginia．He has taught in public and private schools for 25 years．In a piece on his blog called “The Classroom Post,” he calls for more males to enter the profession(职业).

Men Teach, a non-profit organization that encourages men to enter teaching, reports that in 2008, 18.8% of all elementary and middle school teachers were men．At the high school level during the same year, men comprised（构成） 44% of the work force.

Why are there so few men in teaching? Men Teach says low pay and lack of prestige（声望）, as well as a perception in our culture that teaching is for women．As a result, there is no organized effort across the country to attract men into the teaching profession.

A study in 2008 by the National Education Association showed that the number of male teachers hit a record 40-year low．Males comprised 24.5 percent of public schoolteachers．States with high percentages: Kansas (33.6 percent), Oregon (31.6 percent), Alaska (30.9 percent) and Indiana (30.5percent).States with the lowest percentage : Arkansas (16.2 percent), Virginia (17.4 percent), Mississippi (17.5 percent), Louisiana (18 percent), South Carolina (18.5 percent) and Georgia (19.7 percent)．

There is no definitive(确定) research that male students--or female students, for that matter-- learn better from a particular sex.

But as Maggiano put it, “Kids today, both boys and girls, must have the same opportunity to learn from outstanding, devoted men that I did．However, I have heard little discussion about this problem coming from our national leaders．

What worries Maggiano is that_______．      

       A．nobody will take his place when he retires

       B．male teachers are not so excellent

       C．men are not interested in teaching

       D．there is not enough teachers in the schools

According to the text , we can infer that______．    

       A．the number of male teachers hit a record 40-year low in 2008

       B．it is not certain that students will learn better from male teachers

       C．male teachers get a higher pay

       D．organized efforts have been made to call on men into the teaching profession

In which state are male teachers most badly needed?

       A．Alaska          B．Virginia        C．Georgia         D．Arkansas

What does the last paragraph suggest?

       A．The government doesn’t pay much attention to the shortage．of male teachers in the school.

       B．Students find it easy to learn from male teachers.

       C．I’m glad to hear the discussion about the shortage of male teachers in the school.

       D．The shortage of male teachers in the school has no effect on students．
