IV. Reading Comprehension. (52 points) Text I Wedding ceremonies in the United States vary as much as the people do. But many weddings, no matter where or how they are performed, include certain traditional customs. For instance, the bride and bridegroom often exchange rings at the ceremony. The rings are usually worn on the fourth finger of the left hand, and are exchanged in the middle of the ceremony. Today, the rings show the couple’s love for one another. After the ceremony, the couple is often showered with handfuls of uncooked rice by friends and family. Rice, as we know, shows productivity and harvest. And then, there is often a party, where the food is so plentiful that it almost takes the attention away from the people. Soon the bride stands in the center of the room, often on a chair, and throws her flowers to the unmarried women at the party. Tradition says that whoever catches the flowers will be the next bride. Some women eagerly try to catch the flower; others shy away. And then it is time for the bride and the groom to set off the tradition of a honeymoon, a trip after wedding. The trip nowadays varies greatly by wealth, time and preference. Sometimes the couple will spend a single night at a nearby hotel; or they may spend two weeks at a faraway foreign city as well. 1. According to the passage, ___________.

A、American wedding ceremonies are somewhat traditional.

B、American wedding ceremonies provide a lot of flowers

C、American wedding ceremonies are preferable

D、American wedding ceremonies are simple

It all begins with engagement.Traditionally.a young man asks the father of his sweetheartfor permission to marry her.If the father agrees.the man later proposes to her.Often he tries to surprise her by“popping the question”in a romantic way.Sometimes the couple just decides together that the time is right to get married.The man usually gives his franc6e（未婚妻）a diamond ring as a symbol of their engagement.They may be engaged for weeks，months or even years.As the big day approaches，their friends will provide many useful gifts.Today many coupies also receive advice during engagement.This prepares them for the challenges of married life.

At last it is time for the weddin9.Although most.，weddings follow traditions，there’S still roomfor individualism（个人主义）.For example，the usual place for a wedding is a church.But somepeople get married outdoors in a scenic spot.A few even have the ceremony while sky-diving or tiding on horseback!The couple may invite hundreds of people or just a few close friends.They choose their own style. of colors，decorations and music during the ceremony.But some things rarely change.The bride usually wears a beautiful，long white wedding dress.She traditionally wears“something old，something new，something borrowed and something blue.’’The groom wears a formal suit.

As the ceremony begins，the groom and his attendants stands with the minister，facing the audience.Music signals the entrance of the bride’S attendants followed by the beautiful bride. Nervously，the young couple repeats their VOWS.Traditionally，they promise to love each other“for better，for worse，for richer，for poorer，in sickness and in health.”But sometimes the cou-ple composes their own VOWS.They give each other a gold ring to symbolize their marriage com-mitment.Finally the minister announces the big moment：“I now pronounce you man and wife.You may kiss your bride!”

At the wedding reception.the bride and groom greet their guests.Then they cut the wedding cake and feed each other a bite.Later the bride throws her bouquet of flowers（花束）to a group of single girls.Tradition says that the one who catches the flower will be the next to marry.After the reception，many couples take a honeymoon，a one-to-two-week vacation trip，to celebrate their new marriage.

The followings are wedding customs across the world. Early African American: Jumping the B

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.
