What's the most popular school activity among American students? The{#blank#}1{#/blank#} is the school dance. Most American high schools have at least two dances {#blank#}2{#/blank#} the year, one in winter and the other in spring. Students attend these events {#blank#}3{#/blank#} it's a great opportunity for them to meet {#blank#}4{#/blank#} friends.
At the dance, there will be snacks and photo booths (机器拍照亭), as well as strict（严格的） rules to {#blank#}5{#/blank#} create a healthy and enjoyable evening for all students. And all the dancers will be given a security check（安检）before they come into the dance {#blank#}6{#/blank#} . This is acceptable. But some rules may be a little bit over the top（过分). For example, a school once asked {#blank#}7{#/blank#} students to keep a standing position while they were dancing. That {#blank#}8{#/blank#} the students couldn't do anything freely. You'd {#blank#}9{#/blank#} not break the rules because you'll be asked to leave there, or even worse, be placed on a do not invite list.

    A couple decided to go on a holiday. The wife was on {#blank#}1{#/blank#} business trip so the husband went to the destination (目的地) {#blank#}2{#/blank#} and his wife would meet him the next day.

    When he reached his hotel, he decided to send his wife a {#blank#}3{#/blank#} email. But when he typed

{#blank#}4{#/blank#} address, he typed a wrong letter and his note was {#blank#}5{#/blank#} to an elderly woman. Her husband had died only the day {#blank#}6{#/blank#} and she had just come back from the funeral (葬礼).

    When the sad woman checked her {#blank#}7{#/blank#}, she let out a shout, and {#blank#}8{#/blank#} to the floor in a dead faint (昏厥). At the sound, her family rushed {#blank#}9{#/blank#} the room and saw this note on the screen:
