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 groom to set off the tradition of a honeymoon, a trip after the 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.

It was unfortunate that,after so trouble-free an arrival,he should stumble(磕绊)in the dark as he was rising and severely twist his ankle on a piece of rock.After the first shock the pain became bearable,and he gathered up his parachute(降落伞)before limping into the trees to hide it as best as he could.The hard ground and the deep darkness made it almost impossible to do this efficiently.The pine needles lay several inches deep,so he simply piled them on top of the parachute,cutting the short twigs that he could feel around his legs,and spreading them on top of the needles.He was not sure if it would stay buried,but he could do nothing else about it.
After limping for some distance from his parachute he began to make his way downhill through the trees.He had to find out where he was,and then decide what to do next.But walking downhill on a rapidly swelling ankle soon proved to be almost beyond his power.He dragged his legs with increasing difficulty,walking in long side-way movements across the slope,which meant taking more steps but less painful ones.By the time he cleared the trees and reached the valley,day was breaking.Mist hung in soft sheets across the fields.Small cottages and farm houses grouped around a village church,the spire(尖顶)on its top pointing high into the cold winter air to greet the morning.
“I can’t go much further,”John Harding thought.“Someone is bound to find me.What can I do?I must get a rest before I go on.They’ll look for me high up there in the mountains where the plane crashed.I bet they’re out looking for it already.They’re sure to find the chute in the end.So they’ll know I wasn’t killed and must be somewhere.They’ll think I’m hiding up there in the trees and rocks and look for me there.I’ll go down to the village.If I’m lucky my foot will be good enough by the evening and I can manage to get to the border.”
He could hear the faint echoes of voices far above him on the mountainside,startling him after great silence.Looking up,he saw lights like pinpoints moving across the face of the mountain in the gray light.The road was deserted,and he struggled along,still almost invisible in the first light,easing his aching foot wherever he could,avoiding stones and rough places,and limping quietly and painfully towards the village.He reached the church at last.A great need for peace almost drew him inside,but he knew that would not do.Instead,he limped along its walls towards a very old building a short distance from the church.It seemed to have stood there forever,as if it had grown out of the hillside.It had the same air of timelessness as the church.John Harding pushed open the heavy wooden door and slipped inside.
1.In spite of his bad ankle Harding was able to ().
A.walk in a direction that was less steep

A.He was surprised to notice some torches moving around.
B.He was astonished to hear some voices far away.
C.He could see the searchers’ faces in spite of the poor light.
D.He could feel a shower of small rocks falling from above.
3.Which of the following do you think John Harding was?()
A.An escaped prisoner trying to hide away.
B.A criminal on the run from the police.
C.An airman landing in an enemy country area.
D.A spy in search of an important person.

A.to cross the border as soon as possible

根据以下内容回答题:
No one knows for sure why birds migrate.One theory of migration says that ancient birds of the northern part of the earth were forced southward during the Ice Age,when ice covered large parts of Europe,Asia and North America.As the ice melted,the birds came back to their homelands,spent the summer,and then went south again in winter.Gradually,these comings and goings became habits,and birds now migrate though much of the ice has gone. Another theory proposes that the ancient home of all modern birds was the tropic areas.There lived so well that the region became overcrowded.Many species had to move northward.During the summer,these birds found plenty of room and food.In winter,however,food be-came scarce and they had to return to the south. A newer theory is that increasing daylight stimulates certain glands(腺)in the bird’s body and prepares it for migration.One scientist is able to make birds migrate in midwinter by expo-sing them for two months to artificial daylight.Recoveries of marked birds indicate that they fly north as soon as they are set free.The conclusion is that the urge to migrate is determined by changes in the bird’s body which take place under seasonal changes in the length of daylight. This theory would account for the fact that not all birds migrate at the same time.Each sDecies seems to have its own schedule.The theory would also account for the regular time and rou‘tes of migration.Birds arrive at a given place year after year.Unfavorable weather delays them only a few days.Total hours of daylight,rather than weather,start them on the way. How birds find their way to the same place year after year and why they follow their own Darticular route are still mysteries.They evidently do not follow known landmarks,for many young birds migrate alone without the help of experienced adults.
We can conclude from the first paragraph that__________ .
A.during the Ice Age,the whole Europe was covered with ice
B.the south used to be the homelands of all birds
C.scientists can confidently explain why birds migrate now
D.migration of birds can be explained by the change of ice on earth
In American schools there is something called Homecoming Day. Many high schools and colleges with a football team have a homecoming game. This can be the most important event of the year except graduation day. Students plan Homecoming Day for many weeks in advance.
Several days before Homecoming Day,students start to decorate the school. There are signs to wish luck to the team,and many other signs to welcome all the graduates. Many people still come to Homecoming Day twenty or thirty years after their graduation.
The members of school clubs build booths and sell lemonade,apples and sandwiches. Some clubs help to welcome visitors.
During the day people like to look for teachers that they remember from long ago. Often they see old friends and they talk together about those happy years in school.
Everyone soon comes to watch the football game. When the game is half over,the band comes onto the field and plays school songs. Another important moment is when the Homecoming Queen or King appears. All the students vote a most popular student Homecoming Queen or King. It is great honor to be chosen.
