In China, teachers are highly respected and honored. As providers of knowledge, they are seen as playing an important1in the development of society（社会）. In the US, teachers are supposedly just as respected. However, I believe salaries for most teachers are far too low.

In the US, most teachers can expect to2less than $40, 000 (272, 400 yuan) a year when they enter the field（领域）, according to Business Insider. This might3all right, but in some parts of the US, it's not enough to get by（勉强过活）.

In addition, teachers spend an average of（平均）$500 out­ of­ pocket to buy classroom supplies（日常用品）every semester（学期）. Some teachers even have to take on a4job at night to make a living. Teaching is a(n)5job. It's about much more than simply passing on knowledge. Teachers have to be caregivers, therapists（治疗师）, nurses. In fact, nearly any6that a child might face might end up being solved by his or her teacher.

Teachers spend years ­and lots of money­ earning an7of their own that will prepare them to become educators themselves.

It's not8to raise their salaries, either. Countries like Switzerland, South Korea, and Ireland pay their teachers more than the US does. The US is the richest country in the world9money can't buy knowledge. If salaries stay low, fewer people will want to go into teaching ­and society will suffer（遭受损失）10it .

My name is Jacqueline and I went abroad for the first time when I was 18. I travelled to the UK to study English, but I didn't learn to speak well. The main reason was that I made friends with other French people, so I spent too much time speaking French. It's important to make English friends and to spend a lot of time with your English host family. If they have young children, it's even better. The children in my host family were great teachers.

Another reason was that I was worried about making mistakes when I spoke, so I didn't say much. But you shouldn't worry. English people are usually polite and helpful. You can't learn to speak English if you don't talk. You should leave your dictionary at home and say what you can.

To help your listening, try to understand the conversations of English people in shops and on buses. I heard some very interesting things! Listening isn't very easy at the beginning but don't give up!

Read the newspaper and watch the news on TV every day. All the students in my class did this, and it helped a lot. Of course, the cinema is a fun way to practice your English. And listening to songs is helpful, too—there are lots of good English bands(乐队).

Finally, don't study too hard. Give yourself lots of time for fun, but try to have fun in the English way.

Dear Miss Yu,

I'm Linda. I'm writing this letter because I want to tell you that the school year I spent with you was special to me.

I used to be very shy and quiet. You never said much to me. But you did something that made a big difference to my life.

In the past, I hated English. I didn't think it was interesting. And my English was very poor. In Grade 9, you became my English teacher. You always made your classes lively arid interesting. I found it easy to remember what you taught us. Once I was asked to introduce myself in English. Because of my poor English, you didn't say anything bad but told me if I worked hard on my pronunciation, I would do better. Your encouragement changed me a lot. From then on, I began to study English very hard.

Now, I enjoy studying English. My dream is to become an English teacher. I want to help students study English like you.

Yours,

Linda

阅读下面的短文，根据要求完成文后各小题。

Sun Ruifeng, a mother in Beijing, changed some of her plans for her 8-year-old son's summer vacation. She looked for an English training course, but in the end, she changed it to a swimming training class.

"Due to the stricter regulations (on subject-training classes, many parents like me choose sports or other projects for developing interests instead, " Sun said.

Sun's choice is part of the result of the government's growing efforts to lighten the academic pressure on young students.

On July 24, Chinese government introduced a guideline(意见) to ease the burden(负担) of excessive homework and off-campus training for primary and junior high school students. It lists requirements in areas such as reducing the amount and the difficulty of homework and improving the quality of education and after-class services provided by schools.

For example homework for children below the third grade is not allowed while homework for junior high school students should take no longer than 90 minutes to finish.

According to the guideline, training institutions(机构) cannot teach students content that is too advanced for the school curriculum. No training courses can be taught on weekends, national holidays or during winter and summer vacations.

According to Global Times, more than 75 percent of Chinese urban children, from Grade 1 to Grade 12, are enrolled in training programs. However, some training institutions take part in anxiety marketing, selling unnecessary programs that increase the burden on students.

Many parents showed their support for the new moves. "Subject learning is enough at school and we hope to improve the children's overall quality of life during holidays, " a parent surnamed(姓) Zhou in Guangzhou told Xinhua.

However, there are also some concerns. A parent surnamed Chen in Shanxi said that although she agreed on new moves, she worried about what her son would do after school if both parents have no time to be with him.

At present, nine cities, including Beijing, Shanghai, Shenyang and Guangzhou, have been selected to carry out the guideline. It will later be rolled out nationwide.

I'm Sally, an exchange student from the UK. I (be) in China for eight months. Every time I want to lie on the grass, "keep off the grass" signs make me nervous.

In the UK, it's in fields of wild grass or in well-kept national parks, people make good use of the green grass. If it's a (sun) day, people will sit on a bed of grass and relax in the sun.

根据下面短文内容，在短文的空格中填上一个恰当的词，使短文完整，通顺。

Have you noticed that the phrase "You're welcome" has largely been taken place by two new words — "No problem."?

Here is an example:

Shop assistant, "Here's your change, Madam." Me, "Thank you." Shop assistant, "No problem."

But to me, "No problem" is a . I want to be thanked for going to a shop. I don't want this automatic (机械的) reply. "You are welcome" means "You are welcome to shop here; thanks for us to help you." When I hear "no problem", what I think is: "You're not helping me. I'll go somewhere else next time."

There are some annoying phrases, of course. But this one especially seems to just push people to one side. It seems to say, "I've taken care of you, so now leave me alone." It seems that the shop assistant wants to say is that you are actually not "welcome".

It's part of a whole, lazy culture. People don't notice each other. People can't be bothered (打搅). People sit in cafes, but they don't talk. They just look at their mobile phones. If you ask one of these people to move their chair a little you can sit down, they reply, "No problem." I don't feel that means "You're welcome to the table." I feel it means "No problem that you only bothered me a bit."

Lots of people think this phrase is mainly used by younger people, just another word "whatever". But actually, "no problem" crosses generations (一代人). It's taken hold in a way that fits no single group of people. There is "no problem" wherever you go. Next time you're about to say those two words, stop for a minute. Make eye contact, and say with a smile: "You're welcome."

Be a bit more polite? No problem.
