　　The history of slavery is a very sad story. Beginning in 1619, the first slaves came to America from Africa. In the South, there were big tobacco and cotton plantation (種植園). The plantation owners bought slaves like animals to work for them. Slaves picked cotton in the fields. They worked in the houses. They could not leave the plantations. They did not get paid for their work. Some slave owners were very cruel.

　　There were laws against slavery in the North. Many slaves ran away to the North. From 1861 to 1865 there was a Civil War between the North and the South. After the Civil War, all slaves became free. After the war there were still many problems for African-American people. They had no education. They could not vote. They earned very little money.

　　At the age of 6 he was paralyzed from the neck down in an accident．He was told he would never walk, never play football and never feed himself．He proved the doctors wrong! He can do all these things and much more．His determination continues to thrive．

　　Greg Perry graduated from Ohio State University with a joint degree in marketing and education．To him, the education degree was just a bulwark against the recession, so there are probably few peiole as surprised as Perry that before the age of 40, he would have drawn national attention for his teaching, orchestrated the building of a model classroom and inspired his students to launch the largest green business expo ever staged in Ohio．

　　Perry teaches an innovative high school marketing class in Beachwood, Ohio, a city of about 12,000 in the Cleveland suburbs．Students from several area schools commute to Beachwood High School for a class unlike any other．He has led the class of 18 to create the “ULTIMATE GREEN CLASSROOM”．Under his direction the largest Eco–Friendly Showcase in Ohio was held and approximately $ 150,000 was raised in Green goods and services to build the unbelievable classroom．Elected executive officers help Perry run the class, and for much of the year, the focus is on lining of exhibitors for The Green Dream, the green business expo that is expected to draw more than 6,000 people this Spring．

　　“Sales people are making phone calls to line up exhibitors in the expo．Finance is handling the contracts and payments．Marketing and Communications and Publications and Websites are trying to promote the message．” Perry said．“it’s more like a day at work than a day at the classroom．By doing these large projects, they learn about branding, advertising, management styles and marketing techniques without every picking up the textbooks．”

　　All young people dream of travelling the world．They are restless and very eager to see new sights．However, they have little idea how they would really do it if given the chance．Because their knowledge of geography is quite limited, they seldom know much about the places they wish to visit or how they would get there．

　　Critical thinking skills required include planning for a trip and solving problems after the trip has begun．The focus is on how to read an atlas(地圖集)to make travel plans and how to find ways of travelling．An atlas offers a wealth of information about geography and is one way to increase students' awareness of their global environment．Use of an atlas especially addresses the needs of students with different visual and spatial(空間的)learning styles．

閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的A、B、C、D四個選項中，選出最佳選項。

　　Becoming a teacher is one of the best ways to make a difference in the life of a child and even older students．Here are some great scholarships and grant opportunities to get the ball rolling on your dreams of becoming a teacher．

　　Straightforward Teacher Program

　　This is one of the most popular and unique scholarships available for students working towards becoming teachers．The foundation offers their scholarships every three months as opposed to each year．During each payment, four students receive a ＄500 scholarship．

　　Prezell Robinson Scholarship Program

　　While this scholarship is available only to students in the state of North Carolina, it is so incredibly helpful that many students choose to study in the state for the only purpose of receiving it．It is offered to college students who come from low-income high schools or families that are interested in pursuing a long term career in education at any level．

　　New York State Scholarship Program

　　Officials in the state of New York founded this program to award students who want to give back to their community through their ability to teach．The catch for this scholarship is that the students must be pursuing a teaching career in mathematics or science at the secondary level．

　　Also, because the program was designed to improve the education system in New York, the candidates must sign a service contract agreeing to work full time within the state for at least five years after graduation．

　　Coca-Cola Scholarships

　　You may have many opportunities for grants and scholarships through The Coca Cola Foundation．There is the Coca Cola Teaching Foundation that will provide free money for students pursuing an education in the teaching field．This is the most obvious for teachers, but do not be afraid to check out their other offers．

　　Funds For Teachers

　　Not all scholarships or grants are for students entering or already in college．The Funds for Teachers scholarships are for graduates who are already working in the field, but want to improve their possibilities, skills and education in an effort to increase their ability to teach the students that cross their path more effectively．Teachers in PreK through 12 th grade are applicable no matter where they teach or what subject they specialize in．
