A. The Red Scare

Communists were associated with the color red because of the red flag of the Soviet Union -- thus the "Red Scare." One manifestation of the Red Scare was how people's privacy was invaded. Accusations about communists and communist sympathizers were aimed at all sorts of people.  Many people in the Hollywood film industry were targeted during that time, for instance.  But defenders of freedom (including film and television people) fought back against that.  Those who aimed to protect the rights and liberties of each individual saw the Red Scare tactics as "witch hunts," where we suspect our neighbors of evil for no good reason.

Speaking of "witch hunts," the playwright Arthur Miller wrote a really powerful play in 1953, during the Cold War, which focused on the Salem witch trials. He was making the point that what was happening in the Red Scare (hunting for communists) was another manifestation of the witch-burning craze that had happened at a previous time in history.

More than half of the UK’s Physical Education teachers feel they need both further training and better facilities to teach athletics effectively, a new study has revealed.

The study will raise major concerns with the London 2012 Games just over two years away, with a grassroots legacy having been a foundation stone for the Games bid.

The findings have led to the launch on Friday of the Elevating Athletics Fund by Aviva, which pledges to provide practical training and support to every sports teacher in the UK. Hundreds of thousands of children are set to benefit from better athletics tuition in schools.

The move will be spearheaded by Jessica Ennis, the world champion heptathlete, Ed Warner, chairman of UK Athletics, and Olympic gold medallists Darren Campbell and Sally Gunnell.

Campbell said he was not surprised by the results of the survey. “It has been a gripe of mine for a long time that we don’t look on athletics as the basis for almost all sports.

“Learning to run, jump and throw at a young age really is ‘physical education’, and this move is so important because it could be a foundation stone for children.”

The initiative is a direct response to a study conducted by ICM Research for Aviva, over March and April this year, which revealed that 52 per cent of teachers believe they need further training to teach athletics effectively, with 63 per cent of teachers seeing the need for better facilities.

Elsewhere in the research, two thirds of teachers admitted that, in the build-up to London 2012, there would be more emphasis on athletics in their schools. Nine out of 10 teachers intend to use London 2012 to inspire children to participate in sport, and an overwhelming majority of teachers (93 per cent) see elite sports people playing an important role in inspiring children to get involved in sport

The Elevating Athletics Fund will provide support on three levels, with free places on athletics teaching courses for 30,000 schools in the UK, a detailed curriculum resource pack for all teachers, and the chance for schools to win a £10,000 sports grant for facility upgrades.

Aviva will also arrange a series of elite athlete visits to schools, to help inspire students, with a commitment to giving every child in the UK the opportunity to get involved in athletics by 2012. In other findings, the study highlighted that 58 per cent of all parents would like their child to be taught athletics over all other sports, including football, while 63 per cent of parents believe that PE classes should be treated as seriously as other academic subjects.

Ennis, the world heptathlon champion, insists that her pathway to success began with two PE stalwarts. “We must recognise the important role that PE teachers play in getting children involved, and continuing their interest, in sport. I’m proud to be working with this, which will give teachers the tools they need to teach the basics of athletics in schools and hope that this will help inspire the next generation to develop a passion for athletics.”

Warner, chairman of UKA, partnered with Aviva for more than a decade, said: “With the launch of the Elevating Athletics Fund we hope to reach out to every single PE teacher in the UK to raise standards of teaching athletics in schools. The Government’s commitment to getting two million more people into sport or physical activity by 2012 must begin in schools.”

By 1840, how much cotton did the United States produce per year because of changes in technology? about 3,000 bales about 300,00
Oksanka [162]

As a result of technological advancements, the United States was producing around 300,000 bales of cotton per year by 1840.

<h3>Production of cotton:</h3>

Cotton production is a significant economic factor in the United States, as the country exports the most cotton in the world. After China and India, the United States is ranked third in terms of production.

Cotton fibre is grown and produced almost entirely in the southern and western states, with Texas, California, Arizona, Mississippi, Arkansas, and Louisiana dominating.

Upland cotton accounts for more than 99 percent of cotton grown in the United States, with American Pima accounting for the remainder.

<h3>Maximum production of cotton:</h3>

Cotton production in the United States is a $25 billion-per-year industry that employs over 200,000 people, compared to a growth of forty billion pounds per year from 77 million acres of land spread across more than eighty countries.

Therefore, the correct option is the second one.
