Wedding is one of the most universal traditions in the world. But it’s celebrated differently by people around the world. Now let’s know something about these traditions.
In Jamaica，weddings are a community affair，with the whole village often coming together to help plan the big day. People in the village gather in the street to see the bride and if she isn’t in perfect shape, she will be publicly criticized. And while women wear the typical white wedding dress，men wear a bush jacket for the event. Several cakes are baked for the ceremony and on the wedding day married women wearing white dresses carry the confections (甜点)to the wedding. The reception is often held at the groom’s house, in a booth specially built for the event. The wedding celebration also includes a lot of dancing.
In Welsh wedding tradition, a man carves a spoon out of wood and gives it to the woman he loves. H she wears it, they are engaged (订婚）• Brides are often hidden by their families just before their wedding day. The groom and his family follow and whoever finds her will be the next to get married.
In her bouquet, a Welsh bride carries a small tree with shiny green leaves and white flowers that smell nice as a symbol of love，and gives a cutting of the plant to her bridesmaids as well. If the bridesmaid plants the cutting in her yard and it blooms, she will soon marry,
according to Welsh tradition.
In Czechoslovak, before the wedding, the bride’s friends traditionally plant a tree in her yard and decorate it with colored ribbons and eggshells, because, according to the legend, the bride will live as long as the tree. Before the marriage vows, a baby is placed in the couple*8 bed to bless their fertility. During the wading ceremony, Czech women surround the bride*, dancing and singing. They then remove her veil (面纱）and make her put on a handrnade babushka ( a woman’s head scarf).
25.Who are invited to attend one’s wedding celebration in Jamaica?
A. Only family members.
B. Only Family members and friends.
C. All the people in and around the village.
D. All the people in the community.
26.What will happen to the bride before the wedding day in Welsh wedding tradition?
A. She’ll plant a tree. B. Shell get a spoon.
C. She’ll be hidden. D. She’ll be followed.
27.Whatfs both mentioned in introducing the wedding tradition in Wales and Czechoslovak?
A plant. B. An eggshell. C. A spoon. D. A ribbon.
28.What’s the best title for the passage?
A. Traditions in three countries.
B. Different wedding custom forms around the world.
C. The most universal wedding traditions in the world.
D. Something about three traditions.
C
I went to a nearby car factory today with my uncle, who works there. One thing I noticed was that most of the work was done by robots（机器人）. Welding (焊接), painting, testing and many other jobs are performed by robots. The whole dashboard (仪表板) is put into a car by a robot. It would have taken two men to do so in the past, and it would have hurt their backs quite a bit.
It got me thinking: Is it a good thing that robots are replacing factory workers? On the one hand, robots generally do a more accurate job than people. They are not likely to make many mistakes. If something goes wrong with one car, an alarm goes off. They do exactly the same thing every time, but a human worker is unable to do so. On the other hand, robots reduce
costs for companies. Companies don’t have to pay robots wages or injury compensation (补偿) if they’re broken. If something in a robot does go wrong, it won’t have to take time off work for a year, or even forever, as could happen to a real person if he breaks his back or burns himself while welding.
The obvious downside is that robots increase unemployment rate, which in turn increases taxes. We don’t want to pay for those who are out of work just because a company has replaced them with robots.
29. We can learn from the first paragraph that _______.
A. all the workers have been replaced by robots
B. robots do most of the work in the car factory
C. there are no workers with back strain now
D. the author’s uncle designs robots in the factory
30. The second paragraph is mainly about ________.
A. the author’s experience in a car factory
B. the advantages of robots over human workers
C. the advantages of human workers over robots
D. the management of factory workers
31. The underlined word “downside” in the last paragraph means _______.
A. Advantage B. favor C. assistance D. weakness.
D
Everyone needs friends. We all like to feel close to someone. It is nice to have a friend to talk, laugh and do things with. Surely, there are times when we need to be alone. We don't always want people around. But we would feel lonely if we never had a friend.
No two people are the same. Sometimes friends don't get along well, which doesn't mean that they no longer like each other. Most of the time they will go on being friends. Sometimes friends move away, then we feel very sad. We miss them much, but we can call them and write to them. Maybe we would never see them again, and we can make new friends. It is surprising to find out how much we like new people when we get to know them. Families sometimes name (以...命名）their children after a close friend. Many places are named after men and women, if they are friendly to people in a town. Some libraries are named this way. So are some schools. We
think of these people when we go to these places.
There's more good news for people, if they have friends. These people live longer than those people if those don't have friends. Why? It could be that they are happier. Being happy helps you stay well. Or it could be just knowing that someone cares, if someone cares about you, you take better care of yourself.
32. The first paragraph tells us ________.
A. none needs friends B. we always need friends around us
C. making friends is the need in people's life D. we need to be alone
33. Which of the following is the most probable place people name after friendly people?
A. A house. B. A room. C. A library. D. A village.
34. If people have friends, they would live longer, because ________.
A. they feel happier and healthier B. they get a lot of help from their friends
C. they take better care of themselves D. both A and C
35. This passage tells us ________.
A. that people are all friends B. that people need friends
C. how to get to know friends D. how to name a place.

By sitting at home you can now buy anything from knives to cars. The worry you may have about traveling and parking can be avoided while you shop online. 36 Online shops have no holidays, closing times or any other problems. You can shop 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and 365 days a year. 37 So you can easily find out what other customers think about the product before buying it. When you go for real-world shopping，you can actually touch and feel it. 38 Also if you are shopping online, you have to be careful with your credit cards.
39 Once you find the required product, put it in a “shopping cart” and continue shopping. After you have got enough in your “shopping cart”，check out the product. You can add or take out the products in your shopping cart. The next step is to login (登录）using a username and a password. Enter the address where you want the product to be sent. Some sites even ask for your email, phone numbers, etc. Then wait for the confirmation(
确认)of your order. 40 Online shopping is a different experience and you can make shopping online easy when you get used to it.
A.You can also cancel the order if needed.
B.Online shopping started not so long ago.
