阅读理解Education as a career or a job

Do you want to become a teacher？ If you do, then you should recognise that in England, the US and other Western countries, the term •teacher' covers a wide range of jobs which can be seen as forming an occupational hierarchy ranging from high status, high income careers to lower paid positions.

At all levels of education, university, school and kindergarten, there are a mixture of well paid, secure careers with prornotional prospects and casual jobs with no prospects. In education, if a job is a secure one, it is called tenured. If it is casual work, it is called non-tenured. Non-tenured jobs in education are paid well whilst the person is working; but out of the semester, i. e. for twelve or fourteen weeks of the year, the worker gets no employment. The tenured teacher or lecturer gets paid for every week of the year, even over the long school or university holidays. They also get extra payments that the non-tenured people do not receive. For example, they receive contributions from their employer that go towards their superannuation fund. They also get paid if they become ill or need maternity leave. When the teacher or lecturer is tenured, she or he is regarded as having a career, but the non-tenured worker is often regarded as just having a job.

The level of academic qualification and the extent of teaching experience will largely determine where a person is placed in the teaching hierarchy. However, in England now the government is asking universities to be more market-oriented and to plan research pmjects and create courses that will sell on the open market. Now that universities in England are o moving toward a more market oriented status, they are trying to find ways to save money and there is great pressure to employ more lecturers on a casual not a tenured basis.

Why do people want to become lecrurers or teachers？ There is a lot of in the study of occupational choice. Many occupations have been studied to determine why people chose a particular occupation. In education, two general findings emerged: some people feel that they have a mission to teach and want to be a successful teacher, whereas others have a purely instrumental approach. An instrumental approach means that teacbing is chosen not to fulfill a lifetime ambition but just as way of earning a living. This instrumental approach is likely to develop with the casuälisation of education.

听力原文： What do we mean by a satisfactory standard of living？ Obviously, it must include the basic necessities of life such as food, clothing and shelter.

To obtain these necessities on a regular basis, a person must have a reliable income. But we have other needs which we would probably also describe as basic, for example, health and education facilities and security.

All of these we may define as our needs. But most of us would be far from satisfied if we had nothing more than these provided for us. We all enjoy having extra income to spend on things such as books, sports, or hobbies. Sometimes we save some of this extra income to provide for future expenditure of this type on holidays, for example. So in addition to our basic needs, we must add our wants. Our standard of living is the degree to which these needs and wants are satisfied.

Why are we far from satisfied with our basic needs？

A．Because we should save extra money for future expenditure.

B．Because we have other wants in addition to our basic needs.

C．Because we all enjoy reading books.

D．Because man is never satisfied even if he has everything he wants.

M: Yes, it must be three or four years. I haven't visited you since I called about my will. You helped me with that, you remember？

W: Yes, I remember. Do you want to make any changes in your will？

M: I don't think that will be necessary, but you'll tell me if it is. I left everything, you remember, to my wife, and after her death, to my son Jerry. I've about $15,000 in shares of industrial companies. These bring in, after paying tax, about ＄1,125 a year. Well, I'm earning a good salary now, and I shall get a good pension from my employers, so my wife and I can live fairly comfortably with this extra income, I want to buy some land and build a house for my son; he will need a house when he gets married. I'm thinking of building one and giving it to him.

W: Your son's lucky. So you want my help buying the land and building the house.

M: Yes, that's right. As soon as you've done what's necessary for buying the land, Jerry and I will see an architect.

W: Have you found a plot yet？

M: Jerry was in Edinburgh last Saturday and saw a plot he likes. My wife and I went there two days ago, and we liked it, too. I'd like you to make the necessary inquiries for me.

W: I'd be pleased to do that. I shall have to write to the Local Authority and inquire whether it is allowed to build a house on your piece of land. You've not allowed to build a house without permission from the Planning Authority. And sometimes the Authority decides that a house must be built of stone, and not of brick, so that it doesn't spoil the surrounding village.

B．Two years.

C．Three or four years.
