The followings are wedding customs across the world.
Early African American: Jumping the Broom
In the times of slavery in this country, African American couples were not allowed to formally marry and bye together. To make a public declaration of their love and commitment, a man and woman jumped over a broom into matrimony, to the beat of drams. The broom has long held significant meaning for the various Africans, symbolizing, the start of home-making for the newlywed couple. In Southern Africa, the day after the wedding ,the bride assisted the other women in the family in sweeping the courtyard, indicating her dutiful willingness to help her in-laws with housework till the newlyweds could move to their new home. Some African-American couples today are choosing to include this symbolic rite in their wedding ceremony.
Belgium: The bride may still embroider her name on her handkerchief, carry it on the wedding day, then frame. it and keep it until the next family bride marries.
Bermuda: Islanders top their tiered wedding cakes with a tiny sapling. The newlyweds plant the tree at their home, where they can watch it grow, as their marriage grows.
Bohemia(波斯米亚) :The groom gives the bride a rosary, a prayer book, a girdle with three keys to guard her virtue), a fur cap, and a silver wedding ring. The bride gives the groom a shirt sewn with gold thread blended with colored silks and a wedding ring. Before the ceremony, the groomsman wraps the groom in the bride's cloak to keep evil spirits from creeping in and dividing their two hearts.
Caribbean: A rich black cake baked with dried fruits and rum is especially popular on the islands of Barbados, Grenada and St. Lucia. The recipe, handed down from mother to daughter, is embellished by each. It is considered a"pound" cake—with the recipe calling for a pound each of flour, dark brown sugar, butter, glace cherries, raisins, prunes, currants, plus a dozen eggs and flavorings. The dried fruits are soaked in rum and kept in a crock anywhere from two weeks to six months.
Croatia(克罗地亚):Married female relatives remove the bride's veil and replace it with a kerchief and apron, symbols of her new married status. She is then serenaded by all the married women. Following the wedding ceremony, those assembled walk three times around the well symbolizing the Holy Trinity, and throw apples into it symbolizing fertility.
The Czech Republic: Friends would sneak into the bride's yard to plant a tree, then decorate it with ribbons and painted eggshells. Legend said she would live as long as the tree. Brides in the countryside carry on the very old custom of wearing a wreath of rosemary, which symbolizes remembrance. The wreath is woven for each bride on her wedding eve by her friends as a wish for wisdom, love, and loyalty.
Egypt: Families, rather than grooms, propose to the bride. In Egypt, many marriages are arranged. The zaffa, or wedding march, is a musical procession of drums, bagpipes, horns, belly dancers, and men carrying flaming swords; it announces that the marriage is about-to begin.
England :Traditionally, the village bride and her wedding party always walk together to the church. Leading the procession: a small girl strewing blossoms along the road, so the bride's path through life will always be happy and laden with flowers.
Why are some African-American couples today still choosing jumping the broom as part of their wedding ceremony？
A．The broom has long held significant meaning only for African Americans.
B．Jumping the broom has significant meaning for them, also symbolizing the start of home-making for the newlywed couple.
C．African American couples were not allowed to formally marry and live together.
D．In Africa, the day after the wedding, the bride assisted the other women in the family in sweeping the courtyard.

The Business of Wedding
Every couple who goes to the altar (圣坛) believes that they will make that trip only once in their lives, They want the day to be perfect, and they are asking for much more than good weather．They want the most beautiful clothes, the freshest flowers．Moreover, the family who will foot the bill is not in any mood to economize.
A quick look at any bride magazine will reveal that plenty of attractive goods and services compete for a share of the wedding budget．Besides the obvious choices of rings, dresses, flowers, and photographs, there are the less apparent expenses: a lavish cake, a rehearsal dinner, a reception, music for both the Ceremony and the reception, tips, and even napkins and matchbooks (书夹式火柴纸板) printed with the couple's names and the wedding date.
As the arrangements are generally complicated, there are plenty of services that can be hired to help with the planning and execution of the every aspect of the wedding: planning the photographs, selecting the wedding rings, choosing the flowers, picking the honeymoon spot, and so on．One magazine lists over 350 such pamphlets published of course by businesses who have something to offer．Considering that weddings do more than 12 billion dollars worth of business annually in the US alone, such activity isn't surprising．
What is surprising is that no one company dominates the industry．It seems that when people plan for a day as special to them as a wedding, they resist standardization．They turn instead to the small local suppliers known to them or to their friends．Family members or friends often serve as photographers, caterers (酒席承办人) and musicians．This not only helps bring the wedding cost down, but makes it more personal．
What about the couple that doesn' t want to take part in this billion-dollar industry？They can go to the City Hall and get married for less than the price of a hamburger.
第 36 题 What does the expression "this billion-dollar industry" refer to？

In Britain arrangements for inviting and entertaining guests at a wedding are usually the
responsibility of the bride’s family. In most cases it is mainly friends and relations of both families who are invited, but when the bride’s father is businessman of some kind, the wedding reception may provide a useful occasion for establishing social connections with clients or customers and other people whose good will may be of advantage to him. It is, however, the bride’s mother who had the job of sending out the formal printed invitation cards.

In the case of a church wedding, the vicar of each parish in which the ceremony bride and bridegroom live is normally informed about a month in advance of the ceremony so that an announcement of the coming wedding can be made in church on each of three Sundays before it takes place. Anyone who may know of an existing marriage of either partner is ordered to give information about it, though this means of avoiding bigamy must have been more effective in the days when people moved about the world less than they do today. Often up to a hundred or more people attend the religious service and the bride usually wears the traditional long white dress and veil, while her bride - maids, who are often children, wear long dress in attractive colors. This may also happen in the case of a civil wedding in a register office but is probably less usual.
The reception which follows may be held in a restaurant, a local hall or, when there are few guests, in the bride's own home. Refreshments are provided, a special iced wedding - cake is cut (usually to the accompaniment of speeches) and distributed to the guests, toasts are drunk and dancing may follow. At some point in the celebrations, the bride goes off the change into everyday clothes and then leaves the party with her husband to go on their honeymoon, the journey they will make together, often in romantic surroundings abroad.
According to the passage some guests may be invited because _________.
A．they are likely to be annoyed if they are not
B．they may give valuable presents
C．their presence could provide future benefits
D．they may help with the expenses of the wedding
