A much-loved teacher has made her name in history. Glenda Akin from Westmoreland High School in Tennessee got a Guinness World Record for being the female teacher with the longest career at the same school — she worked there for an amazing 61 years and 43 days!

Now 84 years old, Akin spent more than 60 years at the school. She first worked as a teacher and later took on the role of the school librarian. Generations of students sat in her classroom, and many of them said her passion for teaching and steady care had a lasting influence on their lives. In an interview, Akin shared that she truly loved her job and never felt bored about getting up early to go to school every day.

For Akin, the school was more than just a workplace — it became her warm home. When her family members passed away, the school community stepped in to fill that empty space. In her own words, they “more or less became my family”. What’s even more touching is that she watched one of her students grow up, come back to teach at the same school, and even retire a full 10 years before she did.

1.1.What record did Akin get?

A Longest teaching career.

B Oldest school librarian.

C Most students taught.

D Earliest daily work.

解析：选A。A 细节理解题。答案直接出自文章第一段：“...got a Guinness World Record for being the female teacher with the longest career at the same school...” 明确说明她因“在同一所学校任教时间最长（的女性教师）”而获得纪录。A选项“Longest teaching career”（最长的教学生涯）与此完全一致。其他选项（最年长的图书管理员、教授最多学生、最早日常工作）在文中均未提及。故选A。

2.2. What job did Akin do later at school?

A A librarian.

B A teacher.

C A coach.

D A nurse.

解析：选A。A细节理解题。文章第二段明确指出：“She first worked as a teacher and later took on the role of the school librarian.”（她起初担任教师，后来承担了学校图书管理员的职责。）因此，她后来在学校担任的工作是“图书管理员”（A librarian）。其他选项在文中没有依据。故选A。

3.3. How did Akin feel about her job?

A She disliked it.

B She loved it.

C She feared it.

D She doubted it.

解析：选B。B细节理解题。文章第二段后半部分直接引用Akin的采访：“...she truly loved her job and never felt bored...”（她真心热爱自己的工作，从不觉得每天早起上学无聊。）因此，她对工作的感受是“热爱”（She loved it）。其他选项（不喜欢、害怕、怀疑）均与原文相反。故选B。

4.4. What did the school mean to Akin?

A A big park.

B A noisy place.

C A warm home.

D A boring place.

解析：选C。C推理判断题。文章第三段首句明确写道：“For Akin, the school was more than just a workplace — it became her warm home.” 直接说明学校对她而言是“一个温暖的家”。后文进一步用学校在她家人去世后给予支持的例子佐证了这一比喻。因此C选项“A warm home”是原文的直接同义表述。其他选项与原文描述不符。故选C。

5.5. What is the main idea of the passage?

A A school’s activity.

B A community’s celebration.

C A librarian’s daily work.

D A record-breaking teacher.

解析：选D。D主旨大意题。文章通篇围绕Glenda Akin老师因其长达61年多的职业生涯获得吉尼斯世界纪录这一核心事件展开，并详细描述了她的工作经历、对教育的热情以及学校对她的意义。A选项（学校的活动）、B选项（社区的庆祝）、C选项（图书管理员的日常工作）都只是文中提到的局部细节，并非全文核心。D选项“A record-breaking teacher”（一位破纪录的教师）准确概括了全文主题。故选D。
