A report from the United Nations (UN) says the world needs another 69 million teachers by the year 2030. The UN agency LJNESCO made a promise in 2015 that every child in the world is to receive primary and secondary education within the next 14 years. Now there are 263 million who do not go to school. Around 25 million of these might never get an education The agency says a lot of work needs to be done to find enough teachers for schools. The most teachers are needed in sub-Saharan__撒哈拉沙漠以南的) Africa and Southern Asia.

The UN report warns that there are not enough teachers in countries with rising populations. This makes it harder to find enough teachers. It says,"Without quick and continuing action, the situation will become worse in the face of rising need for education." UNESCO is also worried about the quality (質(zhì)量) of teachers in some countries. In countries like Ghana, Liberia and Sierra Leone, fewer than 60 percent of teachers in primary schools have been trained. There are also worries about class sizes.

Many of us feel uneasy when someone stands too close to us, talks to us too loudly or makes eye contact with us for too long. But have you ever wondered why those things make you uncomfortable?

It's all about personal space, which means not only the imaginary space around the body, but also the space around all the senses. People feel that their space is being violated(侵犯)when they meet with an unwelcome sound, smell or look. This is probably why a man on a crowded bus shouting into his mobile phone or a woman next to you putting on strong perfume(香水)makes you feel angry.

Whether people have had a stronger desire(渴望)to protect their personal space in recent times is hard to say. Yet studies of airlines show that people have a strong desire to have space to themselves. In a survey by Trip Advisor, a travel website, people said that if they had to pay more for some extra service, they would rather have larger seats than extra food.

Although people may need their personal space, some hardly realize it. For example, people on a bus who hold newspapers in front of their faces to read in fact keep a distance from strangers.

Go and watch a library table. You will notice that one of the corner seats will usually be taken first .because they are the farthest way. What if someone sits opposite to you? Maybe you will pile up books as if to make a wall.

Preference(偏好)for personal space are different from culture to culture. Scientists have found that Americans generally prefer more personal space than people from other cultures. In Latin(拉丁人的)cultures, however, people are more comfortable standing close to each other.

1.Who might feel his personal space is safe according to the passage?

A. A person who has to sit next to a lady putting on strong perfume.

B. A person who has been watched by a stranger for a long time.

C. A person who hears strange noises when reading at home.

D. A Latin boy who is chatting with a friend sitting close to him.

2.What can we know from the survey by Trip Advisor?

A. People need smaller personal .pace in recent times than before.

B. People have a wrong desire for personal space in recent times.

C. There are not enough seats on the plane to meet people's needs.

D. Food service is better provided than seats on the plane.

3.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

A. The space around the body is more needed than that around all the senses.

B. If you hold newspapers on the bus, your personal space won't be violated.

C. People usually choose the corner seats first in a library for personal space.

D. Different cultures share the same preferences for personal space.
