Experts say the United States will need more than two million new teachers in the next ten years. So schools will have to do more to get people to become teachers.
The government last counted teachers in 2000. It found that 84% were whites, compared to 61% of students. African Americans were about 17% of the children in public schools. This was true of less than 8% of the teachers. And Spaniards (西班牙人)made up about 16% of the students but less than 6% of new teachers.
There have been some changes in these numbers. In all, 16% of teachers are minorities (少数民族人).But this is true of 21% of new teachers.
Many people, however, say they do not enter teaching because it gets less respect than other professions (职业) . Only about 10% of teachers in the lower grades are male, compared to nearly 50% in the upper grades. Also, demand for minority college graduates means these job seekers can often get other work that pays more.

Valentine’s Day is named for Saint Valentine, a Christian churchman who reportedly helped young lovers. Valentine was killed for his Christian beliefs on February 14 more than 1,700 years ago , but the day that has his name is even earlier than that.
More than 2,000 years ago, the ancient Romans celebrated a holiday for lovers. As part of the celebration, girls wrote their names on pieces of paper and put them in a large container. Boys reached into the container and pulled one out. The girl whose name was written on the paper became his lover or sweet heart for a year.
Lovers still put their names on pieces of paper and they send each other Valentine’s Day cards that tell their love. Sometimes they also send gifts, like flowers or chocolate candy. Americans usually send these gifts and cards through the mail system. But some used another way to send this message. They have it printed in a newspaper. The cost is usually a few dollars. Some of the messages are simple and short, “ Jane, I love you very much.” Others say more . This one for example, “ Dan , Roses are red , Violets (紫罗兰) are blue. I hope you love me as much as I love you forever. Mary.”
Most of the newspapers that print such messages are local , but USA Today is sold throughout the United States and 90 other countries as well .This means someone can send a valentine message to a lover in a far-away city or town almost anywhere in the world . These messages cost 80 dollars and more. An employee of USA Today says readers can have a small heart or rose printed along with their messages this year. Will this kind of Valentine’s Day message reach the one you love ? Well, just make sure he or she reads the newspaper .
1. When was the day named after Valentine?
A. More than 1,700 years ago before Valentine’s. B. More than 2,000 years ago.
C. On February 24 . D. It is not mentioned in the passage.
2.Which is not true about the Roman holiday ?
A. Girls put into a large container pieces of paper with their own names on them.
B. Boys and girls became sweet hearts by chance.
C. Girls and boys were not lovers for a year. D. It was celebrated as a holiday for lovers.
3.What is the cost of printing a message to show one’s love ?
A. A few dollars. B. A few dollars in a local newspaper and 80 dollars in USA Today.
C. 80 dollars, and more . D. Very expensive.
4. What can be inferred from the passage ?
A. The ancient Rome girls were more open and easy-going than boys.
B. Valentine was killed for helping lovers.
C. Readers of USA Today can send roses to their lovers along with the printed messages.
D. Valentine was honored by people for his firm Christian belief and warm heart.

Halloween (October 31) is a holiday widely celebrated with different names in many countries. Although it originated as a religious holiday, it has lost its religious connections in the United Stated. It is now celebrated largely as a children's day, and many American children look forward to it for days and weeks beforehand.
The orange pumpkin is harvested at this time of year and is hollowed out, a funny face cut into it, and a candle placed inside as a decoration in the window. City folks, nowadays sometimes use paper pumpkins for decorations.
Some years ago, the holiday was celebrated by dressing up in strange and frightening costumes and playing tricks on one's neighbours and friends, such as ringing doorbells, throwing bits of corn on the window panes, and in other ways making minor disturbances.
More recently, children come to the door to have friends and neighbors admire their costumes and guess who they are behind the false faces and receive treats of candy, fruit or cookies. They say, “Trick or Treat", meaning, “I will play a trick on you if you will not give me a treat." This practice has even more recently developed into a significant international activity. Instead of or along with candy, the children collect money for UNICEF (United Nations International Children's Emergency Fund). This special collection of money by children for needy children throughout the world is known as “UNICEF Trick of Treat". Begun only recently, it results in several million dollars each year contributed to UNICEF. The collection box is orange, reminiscent of the pumpkin.

Valentine cards did not become popular until the 1750s. The first Valentine cards were made by hand. People wrote their own words on the cards. These words were usually kind or funny.

When the last snow melts and every thing becomes green again, you probably feel very happy. You know that summer is coming , and you will be able to be outdoors in the sun. People all over the world for thousands of years have felt the same way; they have celebrated the coming of spring and the rebirth of nature. While customs differ from one place to another, many use eggs as a sign of new life.
To Christians, springtime is Easter time. Easter is a religious holiday celebrating the rebirth of Christ. Many Easter customs have to do with eggs: decorating them, hiding them , and eating them. Some of the most beautiful Easter eggs are Ukranian. These are decorated with small, detailed designs that are amazing to examine. In the United States, children paint Easter eggs and play “hunt the egg”.
For Jews, springtime is Passover time. Passover is a celebration of the Jews’ escape from slavery to freedom. Since freedom after slavery is like a new life, Passover is also a celebration of new beginnings . People eat eggs during special holiday meals because for them eggs stand for freedom, new beginnings, and new life.
Many old European customs, emphasize eggs as a symbol of rebirth and love. In Hungary, a boy earns a colored egg if he can splash (溅湿) a girl with perfumed (芳香) water. In parts of Germany , girls go into the woods in the springtime and bring back a tree decorated with green, red , and white ribbons. As they carry the colorful tree home, they sing
“Spring comes to visit us,
With eggs that are red,
With yellow pancakes
We are carrying
Summer
Into the village.”
In Northern England, rolling colored eggs down slopes on Easter Monday is popular, while rolling eggs across the White House Lawn has become a tradition in the United States. In ancient times Egyptians and Persians celebrated their spring festivals by coloring and eating eggs. They thought the world was actually created in the spring. Some of them thought that at first the world itself was one huge egg!

Thanksgiving Day is a special holiday in the United States and Canada. Families and friends gather to eat and give thanks for their blessings. Thanksgiving Day is really a harvest festival. 1 . But one of the first thanksgivings in America had nothing to do with a good harvest. On December 4 , 1619, the pilgrims from England landed near what is now Charles City, Virginia 2 . The first New England Thanksgiving did celebrate a rich harvest. The Pilgrims landed at what is now Plymouth, Massachusetts, in 1620. 3 . Many of the Pilgrims died . But the next year, they had a good harvest. So Governor Bradford declared a three-day feast. 4 .
In time , other colonies (殖民地) began to celebrate a day of thanksgiving. But it took years before there was a national Thanksgiving Day. During the Civil War, Sarah Joseph Hale persuaded Abraham Lincoln to do something about it.
5 . Today, Americans celebrate this happy harvest festival on the fourth Thursday in November. Canadians celebrate Thanksgiving Day in much the same way as their American neighbors. But the Canadian Thanksgiving Day falls on the second Monday in October.
