After she graduated from high school, Mrs. Cox went on to college. Four years later, she received her bachelor's degree (B. A. ) in English and her teaching certificate. Then she was qualified to teach in the secondary schools of her state. In the summers, Mrs. Cox takes more classes. Someday she hopes to get a master's degree (M. A. ). With an M. A. , she will receive a higher salary.
The school day at Mrs. Cox's high school, like that in many high schools in the United States, is divided into six periods of one hour each. Mrs. Cox must teach five of these six periods. During her free period, which for her is from 2 to 3 p.m. , Mrs. Cox must meet with parents, order supplies, make out examinations, check assignments, and take care of many other things. In short, her free period isn't really free at all. Mrs. Cox works steadily from the time she arrives at school in the morning until the time she leaves for home late in the afternoon.
Mrs. Cox wants to be a teacher because______.
A.she likes teaching
B.she is a young girl
C.she has many problems to deal with
D.she doesn't mind what she is doing
A friend of mine had this problem and handled it in the most tactful (得体的) way I've ever seen. Instead of telling her admirer directly, she devoted herself to introducing him to every girl she knew. Whenever she had a date with him, she arranged to drop in at the home of one of her girl friends. At last he clicked (一见如故) with one of these girls, and then everyone was happy. My friend was rid of a problem and she still had the young man as a friend, which was just what she wanted him to be.
Of course this solution may not work for you. You may have your own way of dealing with the problem. But whatever you decide to do, keep one thing in mind—the boy in question has feelings every bit as sensitive as your own. So try to find a way of discouraging him without hurting him.
The best title for this passage would be______.
A.How to Make a Friend
B.Problems of Dating
C.Good Advice for Girls
D.How to Free Yourself from an Admirer
