Answer the questions (根据以下内容回答问题)

What’s the most enjoyable school activity among American students? The answer is the school dance. Most American high schools have two dances during the year, one in winter and the other in spring. The students like the school dance because it is a good chance for them to meet new friends and learn from each other. At the dance, most schools make some strict rules to help create a healthy and enjoyable evening for all students. Only the students under 21 years are allowed in most schools. Some schools will even give the students a safety check before they come into the dance area. Some schools ask their students to keep a standing position (姿势) when they are dancing. That means the students can’t lean. You’d better not break the rules and enjoy yourself at the dance.
