Question

Hugging is very common in western     41     (country). It makes people feel warm and sweet. However a school in New Hampshire has recently banned its pupils     42     giving each other hugs in the classroom or on the playground. The headmaster Mrs. Lawlor says that the friendly greeting may be used to bully pupils at school.

When     43     (question) on the matter Mrs. Lawlor replied “This is something that     44     (sweep) the entire school in the last month or two. As you know most of our pupils are girls. It could not only be     45     (frighten) but intrusive(冒昧的).”

The school girls     46     (ask) not to say anything on the matter. We spoke to the former caretaker Mr. Peter File who said “I was fired by the school recently so I have no problem giving     47     interview on it. The young girls are lovely and I found it no problem at all seeing them hugging each other     48     (tight). In fact it brought a lump to my throat and a tear to my eye whenever I saw it happening on the playground. ”

We have been unable to confirm     49     Mr. File has been removed from the post of a caretaker. The school has refused to make any     50     (far) statement on this matter.
