Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage: Is teaching important9. Well, of course it is.There was a time when the necessary knowledge could be taught to the young by family members.

Today, we have strict rules for teachers.We hope all 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 ". This means that the public expects teachers to succeed in teaching important information to the young.Teachers' salaries today, while not much, certainly are much higher than they were in past years. These increases have come about because people have realized that without enough salaries, people who have abilities will not beco~ne teachers.Today almost no one says that "anybody will do" for a teacher.The public expects "quality people" to teach the young, and progress is being made to give salaries that will make people who have abilities become teachers. 21.Before the job of teaching came into being ( ).

The biggest " dream factories" are in Hollywood, the capital of the film industry. Each year,Hollywood studios make hundreds of movies that are shown all over the world.

But there are many interesting stories about the first time a man or a woman started a fire.One story from Australia tells about a man very, very long time ago.He went up to the sun by a rope(绳子) and brought fire down.
