　　(2016·河南六校第一次联考)It is safe to say that George Bernard Shaw (1856－1950), the Irish­born writer, is more famous for being George Bernard Shaw than he is for his writings today.Few of Shaw’s more than 60 plays, novels and essays are performed or read anymore.And yet Shaw genuinely helped make our modern world.Although you’d be lucky to get a chance to see one of his dramas today, in his time he turned the theater into a vehicle for the discussion of social issues, not only in Britain but on the stage of the world.In a way Shaw was someone who created the modern culture of Britain.

　　Where the theater had been dominated by entertainment, Shaw used it to teach people the importance of paying attention to the issues of their day.The plight (苦难) of the poor and the working class, the situation of women and the institutions of society, such as the education system－Shaw was among the most well­known figures making these topics central to public debate.His first play，Widowers’ Houses(1892)，deals with the question of slum (贫民窟) housing.His Mrs Warren’s Profession(1893)brought a controversial topic to the stage.

　　Shaw was an important mover and shaker in new political movements too.He was an early member of the Fabian Society, which argued for the socialist cause in the UK.Shaw was also the founder (in 1895) of one of the now most famous colleges in the world, the London School of Economics.

　　If few of his works have really stood the test of time, many of his quotations have become part of the furniture of the English language.“Youth is wasted on the young，”he wrote.He also knew how to sum up a political philosophy (哲学) in a few memorable words.For instance：“A government that robs Peter to pay Paul can always depend on the support of Paul.”

　　(2016·密码原创)Teachers increasingly face mental health problems because of pressures in their working life，a survey suggests.More than a third of school and college staff reported a rise in mental health issues among their colleagues over the past two years.More than half said that their job had had a negative effect on their own mental health.

　　The Association of Teachers and Lecturers (ATL)，which conducted the survey，is to debate the topic at its conference in Manchester this week.A resolution (决议) has been put forward calling on the union to set up a working group to investigate the issue and specifically to look at the impact of performance­management systems on those with mental health problems or hidden disabilities.

　　The survey，which questioned over 900 school and college staff，found that of the 55 per cent who believed

　　their job had a negative impact on their mental health,80 per cent said they were stressed,70 per cent said they were left feeling exhausted by their work and two thirds said it disturbed their sleep.

　　The union warned that a bad name attached to mental health issues meant that many people were afraid to

　　tell their employers if they were suffering.The poll found that 68 per cent of those with a mental health problem chose to keep it a secret from bosses.Only 38 per cent kept a physical health issue to themselves.Dr Mary Bousted，the general secretary of ATL，said she was shocked at the rise in mental health problems.

　　She said：“Teachers , lecturers , support staff and heads are now so overworked that it comes as no surprise

　　that so many suffer from stress, depression and other mental­health issues.”

　　Dr Bousted added：“They need to be supported better, with schools and colleges making adjustments to jobs and working conditions where necessary.”The survey questioned 925 education staff working in state and private schools and

　　colleges in England，Wales and Northern Ireland last month.
