完形填空   In Mr. Allen's high school class, all the students have to 'get married'. However, the wedding ceremonies are not real ones but     51    . These mock ceremonies sometimes become so     52    that the loud laughter drowns out the voice of the 'minister'. Even the two students getting married often begin to giggle.
    The teacher, Mr. Allen, believes that marriage is a difficult and serious business. He wants young people to understand that there are many changes that     53    take place after marriage. He believes that the need for these psychological and financial     54    should be understood before people marry.
    Mr. Allen doesn't only introduce his students to major problems     55    in marriage such as illness or unemployment. He also exposes them to nitty-gritty problems they will face every day. He wants to introduce young people to all the trials and     56    that can strain a marriage to the breaking points. He even     57    his students with the problems of divorce and the fact that divorced men must pay child support money for their children and sometimes pay monthly alimony to their wives.
    It has been upsetting for some of the students to see the problems that a married couple often faces.     58    they took the course, they had not worried much about the problems of marriage. However, both students and parents feel that Mr. Allen's course is valuable and have     59    the course publicly. Their statements and letters supporting the class have     60    the school to offer the course again.
