"I do. " To Americans those two words carry great meaning. They can even change your life. Especially if you say them at your own wedding. Making wedding vows is like signing a contract. Now Americans don’t really think marriage is a business deal. But marriage is serious business.
It all begins with engagement. Traditionally, a young man asks the father of his sweetheart for 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 fiancee a diamond ring as a symbol of their engagement. They may be engaged for weeks, months or even years. As the big day approaches, bridal showers and bachelor’s parties provide many useful gifts. Today many couples also receive counseling during engagement. This prepares them for the challenges of married life.
As the ceremony begins ,the groom and his attendants stand 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 couple has composed their own vows. They give each other a gold ring to symbolize their marriage commitment. Finally the minister announces the big moment: "I now pronounce you man and wife. You may kiss your bride !"
Almost every culture has rituals to signal a change in one’s life. Marriage is one of the most basic life changes for people of all cultures. So it’s no surprise to find many traditions about getting married...even in America. Yet each couple follows the traditions in a way that is uniquely their own.
What can you infer from the passage?
选项
A、Marriage is the most effective way to ensure long time happiness.
B、America is a country with comparatively less rituals and traditions.
C、Single girls like to attend wedding ceremony, each wish herself the next to marry.
D、Counseling before a marriage prepares the young couple for a new life.
答案
D
解析
该题要求对全文的准确理解。A “结婚是保证长期幸福的最有效的途径”在文中并没有提到。B “在美国,关于结婚的礼节和传统比较少”与最后一段中的“So it’s no surprise to find many traditions about getting married...even in America.”不符。“单身的女孩都愿意参加婚礼,并希望自己成为下一个新娘”也没有在文中提到。只有D “婚前咨询服务帮助年轻夫妇迎接新的生活”与文中“Today many couple also receive counseling during engagement.This prepares them for the challenges of married life.(当今,许多夫妇在婚约期间也接受咨询服务,这有助于他们为迎接婚姻生活作好准备)”一致,所以是正确选项。
