1.Can you imagine your parents choosing your husband or wife for you?And can you imagine not setting eyes on him or her until your wedding day?This situation is common in India,the Middle East and many parts of Africa.(31)E We don't realize that people in other places often get married in very different ways-and with different motives (动机).(32)F A marriage provides a safe and stable home for the husband and wife.It also joins two families,which benefits the couple's parents and makes them happy.Marriage also brings children,making sure the couple is taken care of in old age.Because a marriage is important for the whole family,some cultures don't let young people choose whom to marry.
Just as there are many different reasons for marriage,there are also many different wedding rituals (仪式).(33)A In a typical Western wedding,the bride seeks good luck by wearing"something old","something new","something borrowed"and"something blue"."Something old"represents the past."Something new"represents success in the future."Something borrowed"reminds the bride she can get help from her friends and family.(34)D
