Weddings are generally considered personal events, but some couples in India are more than happy to have strangers all over the world attend1(they) traditional weddings, for a fee.

2(pay) hundreds of dollars to attend the wedding of two strangers in a3(total) foreign country may seem strange to some people, but according to a company specializing in wedding tourism, it is “the4(culture) immersion ( )” for tourists to experience many elements of Indian culture. Clients get to put on traditional Indian clothing, taste local food, take part in beautiful wedding customs, which will usually create5 unique atmosphere for the clients. As for the couples getting married, they get to share the happiest day of their lives not just with family and friends,6 with the world.

Tourists 7 (interest) in attending a traditional Indian wedding through JMW have to pay a fee of $150 for the one-day attendance, or $250 for two days, 8 covers the entrance to the wedding plus food and drinks, as well as a person to welcome them and explain all the traditional customs.

So far, feedback from both tourists and Indian couples9 (appear) to be very positive. “The10 (contribute) I made was the best and easiest way to thank the couple for their hospitality and this extraordinary experience,” one Hungarian tourist said. Couples, on the other hand, are excited to know people from other countries.

【题目】 They are probably the longest-standing and biggest rivals (对手) in international sport— Chinese badminton player Lin Dan, with his deadly smashes (扣球) and drop shots, and his Malaysian rival Lee Chong Wei, who is known for his spirit and determination.

Over the years, the two have competed with each other many times, and both have experienced victory and defeat. But Lin beat Lee the first two times they faced each other in the Olympic Games—in Beijing in 2008 and then in London in 2012.

And that was inadmissible for Lee. In fact, according to BadmintonBlaze.com, Lee once said that if he had the choice between winning an Olympic gold and beating Lin, he would absolutely choose victory over his old rival.

And he eventually did, at the 2016 Rio Games. When he beat Lin that day, Lee dropped to the floor, covered his face with his hands and looked around the stadium like a gold-medal moment although Lee eventually lost out in the final to another Chinese player, Chen Long.

All the years of trying to outdo each other have not only driven Lin and Lee to surpass (超越) themselves as players, but also developed a special friendship between the two.

They care for and encourage each other. They invited each other to their own weddings. And right before this year’s Malaysia Open, Lee, who wasn’t able to compete there on account of his nose cancer, wrote on social networking site Facebook, “My friend Lin Dan, you have my best wishes for this Malaysian Open. If I were to hope for a non-Malaysian to win the men’s singles title, I hope that it’s you my friend, my greatest rival.”

Lin and Lee are now pushing 36 and 37 respectively—ages by which most athletes would have retired—but they are planning to compete at the 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games, in the hope that they can play each other once again.

It’s as Badminton Association of Malaysia vice president David Wee once said of the two, “they bring out the best in each other”.

1Which phrase can best describe their relationship?

A.Familiar strangers.B.Friends and enemies.

C.Colleagues and rivals.D.Teammates and competitors.

2What does the underlined word “inadmissible” in Paragraph 3 mean?

A.Unacceptable.B.Inescapable.

C.Unexpected.D.Impossible.

3What did Lee’s reaction at the 2016 Rio Games indicate?

A.He mistakenly believed he had won the gold medal.

B.He was confident to defeat Lin Dan next time.

C.He didn’t care about the Olympic gold medals.

D.He took his victory over Lin most seriously.

4What can we learn from the passage?

A.Lin ranks second to Lee in the world badminton.

B.Lin is sure to compete against Lee at the 2020 Olympics.

C.Lee has no intention to quit playing badminton in spite of his nose cancer.

D.Lee wished Lin to win the men’s singles title in this year’s Malaysia Open.
