As the need for specialists appeared, the job of teaching came into being in our society, and teaching as a job has been of increasing importance over the past hundred years. Today, we have strict rules for teachers. We hope a

38、ll children can attend schools. Many things tell us that teaching is indeed an “important“ job. In recent years, there has been an increasing need for teachers to be “responsible“.

45、题数：1，分数：10.00)Though some people have suggested that women should return to housework in order to leave more jobs for men, the idea has been rejected by both women and men in public opinion polls (民意测验).
