Ban the Band(乐队)?

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    36   ,instead of the usual school uniform.

Most of us think the dance is great   37  —even the teachers enjoy being there.  38  ,two weeks ago someone said that there would be no    39    band this year—only CDs.

“I don’t    40    it!”Amy cried out during the lunch break.

“Someone said the school couldn’t    41    a band,and they think it’s too noisy anyway,”added Daniel.

“Well,I don’t think it’s    42    enough without a band!”declared Angela,“and I’m going to see what can be done.”

Angela was as good as her    43   .In the afternoon she went to see the school headmaster who agreed to give the   44   some more thought.And he suggested that one   45   for having a band was to increase the price of each ticket from $5 to $10.Angela had to   46    out whether the students would like to do that.

“I need all of you to help me,”she  47  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   48    about the band and the extra cost.”

   49    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    50    there was for the band and everyone agreed to pay the extra $5.

“I’m surprised,”smiled Mr. Berry,when we gave him the    51   .“I really thought that only a few people     52    their band and that the cost would be too high.OK,Angela,your next    53    is to find a good band and line them up for the dance.”

Angela was all smiles and    54    the news to Amy and Daniel.“You’re    55   ,”smiled Daniel to Angela as he thought how close they came to having a less than perfect dance.
