Each year, millions of them visit the pier. They enjoys its theatres, restaurants, arcades, 66 shops, giant Ferris wheel, gardens, and old-fashioned lemonade and ice cream stands. Many people attending dinners and conventions in the grand 67 ballroom at the end of the pier. Tour boats also line the pier to take people for short trips on Lake Michigan. Not that long ago, however, they was as deserted as a ghost town 68in the Old West. There were no shops, no music, and no lights. Only a few fishermen spent there days angling along the pier’s concrete banks. 69 The piers’s buildings themselves were mostly abandoned, including its 70former grand ballroom. The ballroom had once been one of the nicest, fanciest dance halls in Chicago. During World War II, the ballroom is shut 71down. The U.S. Navy used it as a school to train airplane mechanics. After thewar, the University of Illinois at Chicago used the ballroom as a gymnasium. When the school moved to it’s new campus a few miles away, the heat was 72turned off in the buildings on Navy Pier. Chicago’s brutal whether began to 73eat away at the ballroom’s beauty. The copper ceiling started to leak, and pieces of the roof began falling in. Before long weeds were growing between 74the cracks of the beautiful old dance floor. Security guards made matters worse; they used the walls for target practice! One hot August night, a lone security guard set out on a routine walk to the far end of the pier. After relaxing for a few minutes, the guard began his 75long walk back to the security office at the front of the pier. By that time, it was after two o’clock in the morning. The guard decides 76to walk through the buildings. He checked to make sure that everything waslocked and secure. When he entered the old ballroom, its eyes took a few 77seconds to adjust to the darkness. He walked across the old wooden dance floor. Suddenly, he felt someone coming up from behind, although he hadn’theard a sound. Terrified, he reached for it and whirled around. No one was 78there. No sooner had the guard turned around than a freezing cold chill passedthrough his body! As strange as it seemed the guard, was sure that a man, or 79rather the ghost of a man, had passed right through him. As scared as he’d been, the guard told no one what he’d felt inside the old dance hall. A year later, the guard returned to the ballroom with a friend. This 80friend had psychic abilities. She could sense things that other people couldn’t.The guard thought that his friend might be able to communicate with the spirit he have felt on that hot August night. 81 Sure enough the psychic sensed a ghostly presence right away! She felt 82that the spirit of a man who had often gone dancing with his wife haunted theballroom. The man was waiting for his wife to die so that she could be with him. Then, she could dance together in the ballroom forever! 83 Today, no one knew whether or not Navy Pier’s ballroom is still haunted. 84These days, it’s as beautiful as ever and often full of life. It’s to noisy and too 85crowded for people to notice any ghosts’ that might still be hanging around. 8666. A. NO CHANGE B. Them enjoys C. They enjoy D. We enjoy67. A.
