　　I got into the teaching profession purely by choice. I was then in 9th grade when my mathematics teacher asked me to take on a class for a few students to whom the subject seemed difficult. And believe me, I enjoyed the entire teaching process. I never knew teaching would be so interesting. I loved my freshmen and was delighted to teach my so-called students who came up with lots of good questions.
　　After my post-graduation, I worked as a software developer with a public sector(部门) in Bangalore for a few years. But I realized that no job could provide me with the satisfaction that I experienced while teaching and training. I always wanted to connect with a wider group of people. In fact, I felt it was a timely realization for me to choose the teaching profession. I applied to a few colleges, and finally I was chosen as a lecturer, and I had to lecture graduate and post-graduate students in a college.
　　On the first day, I was nervous thinking that I had to teach the senior classes. But now I can say that giving lectures was one of the best experiences of my life. I was a Computer Science and Information Technology lecturer, but I tried to help my students with subjects that were not within my domain(范围). It was a new feeling to me every morning before I went to the classes. I used to feel energized and excited thinking that the class would be lit up with bright faces to greet me, “Good morning, Madam.”
　　To me each day was a new beginning, with new feelings, new experiences and new questions. I loved to explore their young minds and read their inquisitive (询问的) faces when a particular topic seemed hard. It was extremely challenging to motivate them to participate, think critically, question and also respect others’points of view. Though few things never seemed easy, it was extremely exciting to make them believe that they really can. That is the reason I love to teach.

　　C. New feelings, experiences and questions made her feel each day new.
　　D. She was unwilling to solve her students' questions out of her domain.
　　7. What would be the best title for this text?

　　More Americans expect to work past their 65th birthdays and never retire, says a recent study.
　　The Associated Press with the NORC Center for Public Affairs Research surveyed 1,075 people, who were aged 50 and older. One-fourth of them said they never plan to retire. Among low-income earners in that age group this is even more true than for high-income earners.
　　In America, the age of 65 is the traditional age to retire. Sixty percent of people aged 50 to 64 said they expect to work past their 65th birthday. More than half of those who are already older than 65 said they plan to keep working, too. They say they are working an average of 31 hours per week.
　　Those 50 years of age or older said finances (财务) are the most important factor in the decision on when to retire. A majority of older workers —especially those who are 65 and older —plan to change their employers, or move into an entirely new profession, as they head into the later years.
　　One-third of people earning less than $50,000 a year said they will keep working. About 20 percent of those who earn more than $100,000 said they will never retire.
　　As baby boomers —people born between 1946 and 1964 —reach age 65, the United States’general population will have more older people than ever before. The number of Americans 65 and older jumped 21 percent —or to 35.5 million —between 2002 and 2012. That number is expected to reach 92 million by 2060.
