For the rest of March, a disease will sweep across the US. It will keep kids home from school. 26. _________
Employees will suddenly lose their ability to concentrate. The disease, known as "March Madness"? refers to

bosses.

one of the final four teams. 29. ______ College basketball players are not paid, so the game is more about making a name for their university and themselves. 30. ________ About $ 4 billion will be spent gambling (赌)on the event.
