Teaching Is "One of the Least Popular Jobs in the UK"
(1) The UK government has just published a report on the future of secondary-school teaching (pupils aged 11-16), and the conclusion of the report is that many secondary schools now face great difficulties in finding people who want to be teachers, Since the 1980s, the number of graduates who say they would "seriously consider" teaching as a career has fallen sharply,from 64% in 1982 to just 17% today. The report suggests that urgent action needs to be taken in order to encourage more intelligent young graduates into teaching.<br>
(2) The main drawback of secondary teaching according to the report, is the low salary. Earnings in teaching are much lower than in many other jobs, and this means that fewer and fewer young people decide to be teachers. Joanne Manners,24, is a good example: "I graduated in maths last year, and I was thinking of doing a teacher-training course to become a maths teacher -- but when I looked into the details, it became clear that teaching isn&39;t very lucrative(赚钱的) job these days. I saw I could earn twice as much if I worked in marketing or advertising, and so I decided not to become a teacher."<br>
(3) It&39;s not just about the money, however. The survey concluded that another reason why people don&39;t want to be teachers is that some teenagers behave very badly in school. A lot of schools have problems with discipline, and it seems clear that children do not have the same respect for teachers as in the past. Here&39;s the view of Dave Hallam, an account from London, "I think parents are to blame. They should have stricter rules with their children at home and also teach their children to have more respect for teachers,"<br>
(4)"I love teaching; it&39;s my passion. I&39;ve been a secondary-school teacher of Spanish for ten years now, and although it&39;s a very demanding job, it&39;s very satisfying. When I see my students passing their Spanish exams, or singing along to Spanish pop songs, it makes me feel so proud," says Brian Jones, who works in a secondary school in London. So what does he think the government should reduce the burden of work on teachers, "I find that I always have too much work to do."<br>
(5) The report is clear that the problem of teacher shortage is a very serious one. It says that the government should raise teachers&39; pay significantly, to catch up with workers in other professions. It also suggests that the government could launch a nationwide publicity campaign, with some advertisements on TV and in the newspapers, to show the positive sides of teaching to young people. Another solution could be set a maximum number hours per week that teachers can work, in order to reduce stress on teachers. "Hopefully," the report concludes, "these solutions can improve the poor image of secondary teaching, and increase the number of young people who want to become teachers in the future."

College Night Owls Have Lower Grades
College students who are morning people tend to get better grades than those who are night owls (晚睡的人) , according to University of North Texas researchers.<br>
They had 824 undergraduate (大学本科生的) students complete a health survey that included questions about sleep habits and daytime functioning, and found that students who are morning people had higher grade point averages (GPAs) than those who are night people.<br>
"The finding that college students who are evening types have lower GPAs is a very important finding, sure to make its way into undergraduate psychology texts in the near future, along with the research showing that memory is improved by sleep," study co-author Daniel J. Taylor said in a prepared statement.<br>
"Further, these results suggest that it might be possible to improve academic performance by using chronotherapy (时间疗法) to help students retrain their biological clock to become more moming types," Taylor said.<br>
The research was expected to be presented Monday at SLEEP, the annual meeting of the Associated Professional Sleep Societies, in Baltimore.<br>
In other findings expected to be heard at the meeting, University of Colorado researchers found a significant association between insomnia (失眠) and a decline in college students&39; academic performance.<br>
The study included 64 psychology, nursing and medical students, average age 27.4 years, who were divided into two groups--low GPAs and high GPAs.<br>
Among those with low GPAs,69.7 percent had trouble falling asleep,53.1 percent experienced leg kicks or twitches (痉挛) at night,65.6 percent reported waking at night and having trouble falling back to sleep, and 72.7 percent had difficulty concentrating during the day.<br>
"In college students, the complaint of difficulty concentrating during the day continues to have a considerable impact on their ability to succeed in the classroom," study author Dr. James F. Pagel said in a prepared statement. "This study showed that disordered sleep has significant harmful effects on a student&39;s academic performance, including GPAs.
In the first study, students who stay up late ___________. 查看材料
A.had lower GPAs
B.had higher GPAs
C.performed equally well in their studies
D.had little difficulty concentrating during the day

initially offered at $ 9, but don't want to end up paying more than 【S5】______
$ 20 for the stock, you can place a limit order to buy the stock at
any price up to $ 20. By entering with a limit order rather than a 【S6】______
market order, you will not be caught in buying the stock at $ 90 【S7】______
and then for suffering immediate losses as the stock drops later in 【S8】______
the day or the weeks ahead.
Remember so that your limit order may never be executed because 【S9】______
that the market price may quickly surpass your limit before your 【S10】______
order which can be filled. But by using a limit order you also protect 【S11】______
yourself from buying the stock at too high a price. 【S12】______
【S1】______
