The Wife-carrying World Championship has been celebrated in a small town in central Finland since
1992. In 1992, the people of the town decided to restart some long-forgotten traditions. 1 He was said
to only accept men as members of his gang who proved their worth in challenges. At that time, it was also a common practice to steal women from neighboring villages.
2 A large number of competitors, people, and journalists from Finland to Canada attend the
Wife-carrying World Championship every year.
3 The Wife-carrying World Championship is held on a 253.5 meters long official track. The track
has two dry obstacles and a water obstacle, about a meter deep. The wife to be carried may be your
own, or your neighbor's. The minimum weight of the wife to be carded is 49 kg. If she is less than 49 kg,
the wife will be given a heavy bag to carry. Each time a competitor drops his wife, that couple will be
fined 15 seconds. 4
Alongside with the Wife-carrying World Championship, there is also a team competition. The distance
is the same but three men in the team carry the wife in turns. At the exchange point the carrier has to drink official "wife-carrying drink". Then he may continue the race. 5
While the Wife-carrying World Championship is being held, there are bands playing music, a
wife-carrying dance and other forms of entertainment.

| Gift Giving 1.______ There are many occasions (场合) for giving gifts in modern industrialized societies: birthdays, naming ceremonies, weddings, anniversaries, New Year. It is common to give gifts on many of these celebrations in western cultures. In addition, special events, such as one's first day of school or graduation from university, often require gift giving. 2.______ What is happening when we give gifts? Most important, we are exchanging gifts. If someone gives me a gift for my birthday, I know that I am usually expected to give one on his or her next birthday. A gift builds up or confirms a social obligation (义务). 3.______ Gifts tighten personal relationships and provide a means of communication between loved ones. People say that a gift lets the recipient (接受者) know we are thinking of them, and that we want to make the person "feel special." We want people to feel wanted, to feel part of our social or family group. We give presents to say "I'm sorry." Sometimes it is difficult for us to find a present that someone will like. Sometimes we give things that we like or would feel comfortable with. In all these cases, the gifts are sending out messages-often very expressive ones. 4.______ People tend to talk about presents in a fairly loving way. A woman whose mother had died years ago described the many gifts around her house. These were gifts that her mother had given her over the years:"I appreciate these, and they mean something to me," the woman said, "because I remember the occasions they were given on, and that they were from my mother, and the relationship we've had." The gifts remain and keep the relationship alive in mind. This woman felt the same way about the gifts she gave to others. She hoped that the recipients would look at her gifts in years to come and remember her. 5.______ Emotions (情感) like these suggest that a positive spirit still lies behind gift giving. They prove that the anthropologist Claude Levi-Strauss was wrong to say that modern western gift giving is highly wasteful. Studies in Canada and elsewhere have also shown that this is not the case. Each gift is unique even if so many are given. The emotional benefit for those who exchange gifts is the very reason for the tradition to continue. |
