問題詳情:
In May, high school seniors all around the U.S. scramble (爭搶) to get ready for prom. Prom, short for promenade, is a formal dance held by a high school before graduation. It’s an important aspect of American school culture because it’s the last high-school dance seniors will ever attend.
Prom involves countless traditions. First a guy must ask a girl to go to prom with him. Most guys choose to do special prom invitations in hopes of winning the girl’s heart with their creativity. Then they will rent a suit or tuxedo, and the girl will shop for an impressive dress. On the day of prom, girls will often get their hair, nails and makeup done professionally. That night couples will take pictures, and then they will often take a limousine (加長型禮車) to dinner and to the dance. Several reports state that parents can spend up to $2,000 to give their kids the perfect prom experience.
The history of prom can date back to the last half of the 1800s. At that time, American universities and colleges organized dances each year for their graduating students. The purpose was not only to entertain the students but also to prepare them for the wider world by teaching them proper manners for men and women.
Later, high schools took over the prom tradition. In the 1950s, high schools began moving the dance from their gyms to beautiful hotels or country clubs to make the event even more special. Perhaps the most amazing prom took place in 1975, when Susan Ford, the daughter of the country’s president, received permission to hold her high school’s prom at the White House. So far, no other prom has managed to top that.
28. What do guys try to do with their invitations?
A. To be conventional. B. To be demanding.
C. To be adequate. D. To be imaginative.
29. According to the passage, the participants in prom mainly pay attention to their ________.
A. appearances B. possessions C. transportation D. photographs
30. What were people supposed to learn from prom at one time?
A. What fashionable clothes to wear. B. How to behave around others.
C. How to earn a great degree. D. How to hold a special event.
31. What can be a suitable title for the passage?
A. Prom’s Unusual Atmosphere B. Prom’s Present and Future
C. Prom’s Educational Benefits D. Prom’s Customs and Roots
