　　In Mr．Allen's high school class, all the students have to get married．However, the wedding ceremonies (仪式) are not real ones but imitations (模拟)．These ceremonies sometimes become so noisy that the loud laughter 　1　 out the voice of the minister．　2　 the two students getting married often begin to laugh quietly．

　　The teacher, Mr．Allen, believes that marriage is a difficult and 　3　 business．He wants young people to understand that there must be many 　4　 after marriage．He believes that the 　5　 for these psychological and financial adjustments (心理上和经济上的调整) should be understood before people 　6　．

　　Mr．Allen doesn't only 　7　 his students to major problems faced 　8　 marriage such as illness or unemployment．He also lets them know the　9　 problems they will face every day．He wants young people to know about all the difficulties and troubles that can throw marriage to the 　10　 point．He even familiarizes his students with the problems of divorce (离婚) and the 　11　 that divorced men must pay child 　12　 money for their children and sometimes pay monthly money to their 　13　 ．

　　It has been nervous for some of the students to 　14　 the problems that a married couple often faces．　15　 they took the course, they had not felt much 　16　 about the problems of marriage．　17　 , both students and parents feel that Mr．Allen's course is 　18　 and have supported the 　19　 publicly．Their statements and letters supporting the class have made the school more firmly believe that it's necessary to 　20　 the course again．

ONCE again, I was in new school.  36 was a girl in my class named Paris. That’s where the similarities  37  . I was tall and she was small. I was one of the   38  in the class while she was the youngest. I was awkward and shy. She wasn’t. I couldn’t stand her, considering her my  39  .

  40  she wanted to be friends.

       One day, she invited me   41   and I said yes I was too shocked to say no．42  no one had invited me over to play before．But this girl, who wore the   43   fashions, wanted to see me．She lived on the fourth floor in a two-room place with her mother, her stepfather, her two brothers and her sister- When we got to the room she shared with her sister, she took out a big case of Barbies which was my next   44 ．I would have thought she'd outgrown them．I had   45   played with them．But we sat on the floor of a walk-in cupboard laughing as we   46  crazy stories about the Barbies．That's when we found out that we both wanted to be   47  when we were older．We both had wild   48  ．

       We had a great day that afternoon．Our jaws （下巴） 49  from smiling so much．She showed me her   50  , which had mostly come from a designer clothing store （时装设计店） down the block．The woman who owned it used her as a   51  sometimes for her newspaper ads and gave her clothes in exchange．

       Paris had the whole   52   charmed．The bookstore owners lent her fashion magazines, the 53__ gave her free passes and the pizza place let her have free pieces．Soon I was   54  in her magic world．We slept over at each other's houses, spent every free moment together．My dark hair grew out and I learned to love being tall．

       Paris, my first real friend since childhood, helped me get through the   55   teenage years and taught me an amazing and very surprising thing about making friends: your "worst enemy" can turn out to be your best friend．
