Ban the Band(樂隊(duì))？
Every year,our school has a dance for all the students.It’s a little funny seeing friends in clean shoes and trousers or colorful 1,instead of the usual school uniform.
Most of us think the dance is great 2—even the teachers enjoy being there.3,two weeks ago someone said that there would be no 4 band this year—only CDs.
“I don’t 5 it!”Amy cried out during the lunch break.
“Someone said the school couldn’t 6
“Well,I don’t think it’s 7 enough without a band!”declared Angela,“and I’m going to see what can be done.”
Angela was as good as her 8.In the afternoon she went to see the school headmaster who agreed to give the 9 some more thought.And he suggested that one 10 for having a band was to increase the price of each ticket from 10.Angela had to 11 out whether the students would like to do that.
“I need all of you to help me,”she 12 to our group before school the next day.“Mr.Berry gave me a list of all the names,and suggested we ask each one their 13 about the band and the extra cost.”
14 the day we asked around as Angela suggested,and wrote down people’s feelings about the band and the cost.We were amazed how much 15 there was for the band and everyone agreed to pay the extra $5.
“I’m surprised,”smiled Mr. Berry,when we gave him the 16.“I really thought that only a few people 17 their band and that the cost would be too high.OK,Angela,your next 18 is to find a good band and line them up for the dance.”
Angela was all smiles and 19 the news to Amy and Daniel.“You’re 20,”smiled Daniel to Angela as he thought how close they came to having a less than perfect dance.
