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.

All photos are made with a camera. In many ways, a camera works like a human eye.Like the eye, it takes in rays of light reflected from an object. It then focuses the rays into {#blank#}1{#/blank#} image（影像）.Older cameras record the imagine on film.

  Newer digital cameras record the imagine on an electronic storage device（存储装置）such as a memory card. Once the image is permanent, it can {#blank#}2{#/blank#}(see) and enjoyed by many people.

  The photographic process for older cameras has five steps to it:Finding a subject;Focusing

{#blank#}3{#/blank#} the subject;Exposing the film;Developing the film,and making the print. Many professional photographers, people{#blank#}4{#/blank#}take pictures for a living, do all five steps {#blank#}5{#/blank#}(they). They use a room called a darkroom. It's “dark”so that light doesn't ruin in the negatives(底片）.

{#blank#}6{#/blank#}（part) of the world. We can see how people live today. We can also see how people lived in the mid-1800's, around the time when the camera {#blank#}7{#/blank#}(invent).
