Grandma Moses is among the most famous twentieth-century painters of the United States，yet she did not start painting until she was in her late seventies．As she once said to herself：" I would never sit back in a rocking chair，waiting for someone to help me．" No one could have had a more productive old age．
She was born Anna Mary Robertson on a farm in New York State，one of five boys and five girls．At twelve she left home and was in domestic service until，at twenty-seven，she married Thomas Moses，the hired hand of one of her employers．They farmed most of their lives，first in Virginia and then in New York State，at Eagle Bridge．She had ten children，of whom five survived；her husband died in 1927．
Grandma Moses painted a little as a child and made embroidery pictures as a hobby，but only changed to oils in old age because her hands had become too stiff to sew and she wanted to keep busy and pass the time．Her pictures were first sold at the local drugstore and at a market and were soon noticed by a businessman who bought everything she painted．Three of the pictures exhibited in the Museum of Modern Art，and in 1940 she had her first exhibition in New York．Between the 1930's and her death，she produced some 2，000 pictures：detailed and lively portrayals of the country life she had known for so long，with a wonderful sense of color and form．"I think really hard till I think of something really pretty，and then I paint it" she said．

In spite of so many years of education behind us, can we confidently say we understand what it feels like to be a teacher?
The biggest misunderstanding about teaching jobs is that anyone can be a teacher. In fact, the truth is far from it. 1. They also know the teaching theory well. They should know how things should be taught and how one can be inspired to learn. Also, they need to have an idea about classroom management and students’ psychology（心理学）.
Now it can be really annoying for a teacher if someone says teaching is one of the easiest jobs around, because everyone just needs to be taught for a few hours a day. 2. However, teachers work longer to come up with ways to make the knowledge appear more interesting to students and help them learn better.
3. And this is a big reason why more people decide to choose teaching as a career. However, good teachers choose to make good use of the break, by enrolling(注册) themselves for workshops on teaching, classroom management, and related things.
All teachers are not the same, as against what is widely believed. 4. Every teacher is different and has a different approach（方法） to teaching.
5. A teacher has meetings to attend, and is responsible for(对……负责) organizing school events. An important duty of a teacher is to prepare the progress report of each student and discuss it with his or her parents.
In a word, teachers ought to be respected for what they do, and we should never forget their great contribution（贡献） to our success in life.
A. A teacher has many things to do rather than just teach.
B. It is true that teachers get a lot more holidays than others.
C. A good teacher is one who motivates students to overcome challenges.
D. To begin with, teachers are people who perform well in their fields of study.
E. A statement that is true for one teacher is not necessarily true for the others.
F. And common people even believe teachers are probably overpaid when their days end at 3 pm.
G. These teachers give all they can to create an ideal learning environment for their students.

It is known to us, a growing outbreak of H1N1 flu has been sparked in many countries. An increasing number of cases are reported every day.
It’s thought that H1N1 flu spread in the same way that regular seasonal influenza viruses do, that is, spreading from person-to-person, mainly through the coughs and sneezes of people who are sick with virus.
Faced with this severe disease, here are some everyday measure we should take to stay healthy. First, cover your nose and mouth by a tissue when you cough or sneeze. Wash your hands often with soap and water, especial after you cough or sneeze. Avoid touch your eyes, nose or mouth. Germs spread that way. If you get sick, stay home from work and school and limit contact with others to keep from infecting them.
Finally, H1N1 flu is not a terribly deadly disease, which is curable. So, don’t be nervous and just keep calm as usually.
