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.

The beginning of a new year finds many people making New Year's resolutions. Though they are easy to make, few people stay true to them. {#blank#}1{#/blank#} , it's a new year and many want to turn over a {#blank#}2{#/blank#} leaf.
If you're one of {#blank#}3{#/blank#} , you'll be more successful if you make SMART goals! Each goal should be:
Specific. Don't say you want to lose some {#blank#}4{#/blank#} , read more or exercise. Decide how much weight to lose, how many books to read, or how many times a {#blank#}5{#/blank#} to exercise.
Measurable(可衡量的). Weigh yourself daily, count the number of books you read {#blank#}6{#/blank#} , and make notes of how many times you exercise each week.
Attainable(可达成的). Don't set impossible goals. For example, don't make promise to lose 10 kilograms in a week. Or if you have just {#blank#}7{#/blank#} running, realize you won't be running a long-distance race in a month.
Relevant(相关的). If you love history, you probably {#blank#}8{#/blank#} read eight books a month about science. You won't stick with it if the subject isn't {#blank#}9{#/blank#} .
Timely. Set deadlines. How long will you {#blank#}10{#/blank#} to read a book?A new year is about starting over— so start now!

    More recently, most Americans remember what they were doing when the World Trade Center in New York was taken down by terrorists. It is one of the {#blank#}1{#/blank#} events in American history. Even the date—September 11, 2001—has {#blank#}2{#/blank#} to most Americans.

    This was a day Peter Hunt will never forget. In May 2001, he {#blank#}3{#/blank#} a job in the World Trade Center. On September 11, 2001, he arrived at his building at around 8:30 a.m. He was about to go up when he decided to get a coffee first. He went to his favorite coffee place even though it was two {#blank#}4{#/blank#} east from his office. As he was waiting in line with other office {#blank#}5{#/blank#}, he heard a loud sound. Before he could join the other people outside to see what was going on, the first plane had already hit his office building. They stared in {#blank#}6{#/blank#} at the black smoke rising above the burning building. He felt lucky to be alive.

    Kate Smith will never forget the date, too. Now she still {#blank#}7{#/blank#} working in her office near the two towers. "My friend Mike shouted {#blank#}8{#/blank#} that a plane just hit the World Trade Center! I didn't believe {#blank#}9{#/blank#} at first. But then I looked out of the window and realized that it was {#blank#}10{#/blank#}. I was scared and I could hardly think clearly after that."

    September 11, 2001—the date alone means something to most people in the US.
