[对应学生用书第1页] The word “prom” was first used in the 1890s, referring to formal dances in which the guests of a party would display their fashions and dancing skills during the evening's grand march.In the United States, parents and educators have come to regard the prom as an important lesson in social skills.Therefore, proms have been held every year in high schools for students to learn proper social behavior. The first high school proms were held in the 1920s in America．By the 1930s, proms were common across the country.For many older Americans, the prom was a modest, home­grown affair in the school gymnasium.Prom­goers were well dressed but not fancily dressed up for the occasion: boys wore jackets and ties and girls wore their Sunday dresses.Couples danced to music provided by a local amateur band or a record player.After the 1960s, and especially since the 1980s, the high school prom in many areas has become a serious exercise in excessive consumption, with boys renting expensive tuxedos(晚礼服)and girls wearing designer gowns(女式礼服).Stretch limousines(超长豪华轿车)were hired to drive the prom­goers to expensive restaurants or discos for an all­night celebration. Whether simple or lavish, proms have always been more or less frightening events for adolescents who worry about self­image and fitting in with their peers.Prom night can be a terrible experience for socially awkward teens or for those who do not date with others.Since the 1990s, alternative proms have been organized in some areas to meet the needs of particular students.For example, proms organized by and for homeless youth were reported．There were also “couple­free” proms to which all students are welcome. 1．affair n.　　　　　 公共事务；事件；关系 2．gymnasium n. 健身房；体育馆 3．amateur adj. 业余的；业余爱好的 n. 业余爱好者 4．excessive adj. 过度的 5．lavish adj. 浪费的 6．awkward adj. 令人尴尬的；难对付的 7．alternative adj. 可供替代的；非传统的 n. 可供选择的事物 1．What did students usually wear at the high school proms in the 1920s and 1930s? _______________________________________________________________ Boys wore jackets and ties and girls wore their Sunday dresses. 2．For what kind of students are the high school proms frightening events or terrible experiences? ___________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ For students who worry about self­image and fitting in with their peers, socially awkward teens or those who do not date with others. $$
