Black History Month was first started by a famous African-American historian Dr．Carter G．Woodson in the year 1926．February was chosen as the month to celebrate the African-American history because it was the birth month of two of the most highly valued people among African-Americans．These were President Abraham Lincoln，who freed the slaves，and Frederick Douglass，who was also the first vice presidential nominee （被任命者） among African-Americans．Initially，Black History Month was known as the"Negro History Week"．This was Dr．Woodson's attempt to encourage awareness among citizens about the contribution of African-Americans towards the building of the nation．It was only in the early 1970's that the name"Negro History Week"changed to"Black History Month"．And later，in the year 1976，the entire month of February was declared to be the National African-American History M onth，or the Black History Month．
Every year，National African-American History Month is celebrated by many activities with various ideas and themes for the younger generation．In 2013，Black History Month celebrates the 50^th anniversary of the March on Washington at which Martin Luther King，Jr．gave his famous speech"I have a dream"．It also marks the 150^th anniversary of the Emancipation Proclamation （解放黑奴宣言）．The theme for Black History Month in 2014 is"Civil Rights in America"remembering the important milestones by African-Americans and others in the battle for civil rights and equal treatment under the law．

12．Do you want to be pretty？You are the only one who can decide you're truly pretty．To achieve this，first of all，you should be pretty on the inside．In other words，you have to understand that your beauty comes from yourself，not from any outside source．To practice feeling this way，you can write a list of all the good things about yourself．This includes things like helping someone carrying something or listening to a friend．You also can write a list of things that you think are beautiful about yourself．Maybe you have big brown eyes，a cute nose or a great laugh．What's more，every morning，when you wake up，go to the bathroom mirror，smile at yourself and say aloud，"I am happy．"The more you say it，the more you'll convince your brain that it's true．
To be pretty on the inside，at the same time，don't forget to be attractive by being kind and respectful．So listen to people when they talk，and they'll notice you've taken an interest in their words．Help others out when they are in need，and also don't judge other people．
On the other hand，you also should be pretty on the outside．For this，you can do something to change your appearance．For example，change your hairstyle．Wear clothes in which you feel comfortable．Also you can give your skin some extra special care to make it look better．
In fact，the key to being pretty on the outside is working to be healthy．If you're in poor health，you can't look pretty on the outside．So，to keep healthy，have enough sleep every day and work out in a regular way．

11．Many people think dreams are full of messages that may not be clear to us common people．But if we think about what is going on in our lives，we can usually come up with an answer．Let's look at some of the most common dreams．What do these dreams mean？
Falling
You're falling，falling，falling…and then you wake up．This dream is said to mean you are afraid of something or worried about something．There may be something in your life that is out of control and there is nothing you can do to stop it．Another explanation is that you may experience failure in something．Maybe you're not doing well in school or work．
Taking an exam（or forgetting that you have one）
You suddenly realize you have to take an exam at that very moment．You might be running here and there to find your classroom．Experts say this dream may mean you're being tested about something or maybe you are facing a challenge．
Flying
Dreaming that you are flying means you are on top of things．You are in control of the things that matter to you．It may also mean you have confidence in yourself and think no one and nothing can beat you．
Trying to run，but going nowhere
You're trying to run，but either of your legs won't move or you simply aren't going anywhere．Some experts think this dream means you're trying to do too many things at once and can't catch up or move forward．
In fact，unlike these dreams，there are also many strange dreams that experts may not be able to explain．
（76）Topic/Title：What do dreams mean？

Descriptions of dreams	Answers to dreams
Falling	You have something to fear or （77）worry about． You （78）fail in something like schooling or work．
Taking an exam （or forgetting that you have one）	You're being tested about something or facing something （79）challenging/difficult/hard．
Flying	You're able to control what （80）matters to you． You believe in yourself and think you can （81）beat/defeat anyone and anything．
Trying to run，but going （82）nowhere	You're trying to do too many things at the same （83）time，which prevents you from （84）moving forward．
Conclusion：We can come up with （85）explanations about some dreams，but not all the dreams．

10．The silent young woman in bed number six is called Jasmine．So am I，but names are only superficial（表面的） things，floats on the surface of the water，and we share deeper connections than that．That is why I spend my off-duty time sitting beside her．
Today is difficult．The ward （病房） is full of patients and I am kept busy emptying bed-pans，filling out forms，changing dressings．Finally，late in the afternoon，I get a few moments to make coffee，to take it over to the orange plastic chair beside her bed．I am thankful to be off my feet，glad to be in her company once again．
"Hello，Jasmine，"I say，as if greeting myself．
She does not reply．Jasmine never replies．She is down too deep．
She has been sea-damaged．I too am the daughter of a fisherman，so I choose my words like fish-hooks（魚鉤），cast them into her ears，imagine them sinking down through cold，dark water down to wherever she may be．
"I have little time today，"I tell her，touching her hair．
With Jasmine，it is always difficult not to touch．She is that rare thing，a truly beautiful woman．Because of this，people invent reasons to walk by．I catch them looking，drinking her in，feeding on her．They are barracuda （梭魚），all of them．
Great beauty is something Jasmine and I do not share．I am glad of it．
"Your father may be here soon，"I say．"Last week he said he would come．"
Jasmine says nothing．Her left eyelid flickers（顫動(dòng)），perhaps．
It is two months since the incident on her father's fishing boat，since she fell overboard，sank，became entangled in the nets．It was some time before anyone noticed，then there was panic．Her father hauled her back on board and sailed for home．When he finally arrived，he carried ashore what he thought was his daughter's body．
"Jasmine，"I whisper．I want her to take our baited （用作誘醒的） name．I want her to swallow it．
Fortunately，there was a doctor in the village that morning，a young man visiting relatives．It was he who brought this drowned woman back from the brink，he who told me her story．She opened her eyes，he said，looked up at her father and spoke a single word-then sank again，this time into coma（昏迷）．
Barracuda．That is what Jasmine said．
When her father visits，he touches her hair，kisses her cheek，sits in the orange plastic chair at the side of her bed and holds her hand．Like my own father，he has the big，brown，life-roughened hands of a fisherman．He too smells of the sea，and pretends he is a good，simple man．
Jasmine．We share so much，we are almost one．
I remember early mornings，my hair touched to wake me，my father lifting me half-asleep from my bed，carrying me，dropping me into his boat．His voice rough in my ear，his hands rough on my skin．I never wanted to go，but I was just a child．He did as he wished．
I remember salt water，hot sun，my mother shrinking on the shore．I remember the rocking of the boat，the screams of the seagulls．
"Jasmine，you have a life inside you．Can't you hear it calling？"
Nothing．
The ward door bangs，and I see Jasmine's father walking towards us，carrying flowers．He smiles at me．Even in death，my own child had my father's smile，and Jasmine's will have this man's．I know it．
He stops by her bed and touches her hair．Something stirs deep inside me．I watch Jasmine's eyelids，waiting for her to bite．
