Every year, almost 2 million Americans are injured while they're 1 work. Every day, 240 are killed on the job. The 2 job is cutting down trees. Being a policeman is safer than many jobs, including driving a truck, collecting garbage and 3 airplanes. One of the safest jobs is being a librarian.

The government inspects(检查) most factories and offices. 4 have to 5 fines if their factories or offices are unsafe. In California, employers often go to prison if one of their workers is 6 because a factory didn't 7 safety measures. But President Bush cut down the number of government inspectors 8 15 percent. Many people say working is less safe 9 .

For women workers, the greatest danger so far is murder. Forty--two percent of all 10 who die at work were killed. Many of them work 11 clerks in stores 12 they are by themselves at night. Experts say they can protect themselves by putting the cash desk in full 13 of the street.

The numbers of deaths and accidents at work don't take into 14 people who become sick from 15 that they are exposed to at work. Doctors don't know 16 some chemicals cause illness.

There are no government rules for many new chemicals.

Inspectors say employers 17 their backs on safety problems because they don't want to pay the bill for fixing them. They also say some workers don't want to complain about dangers because they may 18 their jobs.

The job of raising children is a tough one. Children don’t come with an instruction manual(说明书). And each child is 1 . So parents sometimes pull their hair out in frustration(挫折),not 2 what to do. But in raising children—as in all of life—what we do is 3 by our culture. Naturally then, American parents teach their children basic American 4 .

The relationship between parents and children in America is very informal. American parents try to 15 their children as individuals—not as extensions of themselves. They allow them to achieve their own 16 . Americans praise and encourage their children to give them the 17 to succeed. When children become adults, their relationship with their parents becomes more like a(an) 18 among equals.

Specialists say that it is not easy to 1 life in a new culture. "Culture shock” is 2 these specialists use when talking about 3 that people have in a 4 environment. There are three stages of culture shock, say the specialists. In the first stage, the newcomers like their new environment.

In the last stage, the newcomers begin to 7 to their surroundings and, as a result, enjoy their life more.

There are some obvious factors in culture shock. The weather may be unpleasant. The customs may be different.

The public service systems -- -- the telephone, post office, or transportation may be difficult to work out . The most simple things 8 be big problems. The language may be 9 .

Who feels culture shock? Everyone does in this way or that. 10 culture shock surprises most people. V ery often the people having the worst culture shock are 11 never had any difficulties in their home countries and were

12 in their community. Coming to a 13 , these people find they do not have the same established positions.

They find 14 without a role , almost without an identity. They have to 15 a new self-image.

To be a good teacher, you need some of the gifts of a good actor; you must be able to hold the attention and interest of your students, you must be 1—speaking, with a good, strong,2 voice which is fully under your control; and you must be able to 3 what you are teaching, in order to make its meaning clear.

5 the whole time he is teaching; he walks about, using his 6,hands and fingers to help him in his explanations, and his face to express his 7.Listen to him, and you will 8 the loudness, the quality and the musical note of his voice always

9 according to what he is talking about. The fact that a good teacher has some of the gifts of a good actor doesn't

10that he will indeed be able to act well on the stage, for there are very important 11 between the teacher's work and the actor's. The 12 has to speak words which he has learnt by heart; he has to repeat exactly the 13

words each time he plays a certain part, even his movements and the ways in which he uses his voice are usually 14 beforehand. What he has to do is to make all these carefully learnt words and actions seem 15 on the stage.

A good teacher 16 in quite a different way. His students take an active part in his 17:they ask and answer questions, they obey orders, and if they don't 18 something, they will say no. The teacher therefore has to suit his act to the needs of his students, which is in his clas s. He cannot learn his part by heart, but must 19 it as he goes along.
