A: In 2014, the National Football League's Dallas Cowboys cheerleaders earned $150 for each home game. The 36-to-39 member squad works under a yearlong contract and, in the past, the members weren't paid for attending rehearsals; now, the Dallas Cowboys organization pays the cheerleaders for practice, but does not state how much.
The definition of yearn is: to want something badly. The definition of refuse is: unwilling to accept something. The definition of dread is: to fear greatly; to feel extreme reluctance to meet or face - usually with fear. So, that really doesn't make sense at all.
The word year is also used for periods loosely associated with, but not identical to, the calendar or astronomical year, such as the seasonal year, the fiscal year, the academic year, etc. Similarly, year can mean the orbital period of any planet: for example, a Martian year or a Venusian year are examples of the time a planet takes to transit one complete orbit.
