Passage Six
Weddings ceremonies in the United States vary as much as the people do. But many weddings, no matter where or how they are performed, include certain traditional
customs. For instance, the bride and groom often exchange rings at the ceremony. The rings are usually worn on the fourth finger of the left hand, and are exchanged in the middle of the ceremony. Today, the ring shows the couple's love for one another. 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. 26. According to the passage， .

Passage A
I remember being vaguely annoyed when the gunman pulled me from the car by the hair. I remember the walk to the house----Jeremy, me, the two men with two guns. I
remember the fear and anger in the gunmen's voices because Jeremy was being slow, and I remember wondering why he was being slow. I did not realize that Jeremy had thrown the keys into the shrubbery. But I remember the sound of the gun hitting Jeremy's head and the feeling that he released me.
我记得当那个拿着枪的人抓住我的头发，把我从车里拖出来的时候，我隐约觉得有点恼火。我还记得杰瑞米，我，以及两个持枪的男人走向房子的情景。我记得只因为杰瑞米动作慢了点，那两个持枪人的声音就流露出了恐惧和愤怒。而且我还记得自己纳闷他为什么那么慢。我没有意识到杰瑞米已经把钥匙扔进了灌木丛。但是我记得枪敲杰瑞米头部的声音，以及抓住我头发的那个家伙松开我时的感觉。
Passage B

Passage C
The narrow, sunless hall smelled unpleasantly of stale cabbage; the walls were dirty with ink marks; it was all silent. His study, judging by the crumbs on the carpet, was also his dining-room. “You'd better sit down,” he said, and proceeded to ask me a number of questions: what subjects I had taken in my General School Certificate; how old I was; what games I played; then fixing me suddenly with his bloodshot eyes, he asked me whether I thought games were a vital part of a boy's education. I mumbled something about not attaching too much importance to them. He grunted. I had said the wrong thing. The headmaster and I obviously had very little in common.
狭窄的，不见阳光的走廊里散发出发霉的卷心菜味，让人觉得很不舒服，墙上墨迹斑斑，周围一片静寂。从地毯上的面包屑来看，他的书房也是他的餐室。“你最好坐下”，他说道，接着问了我许多问题：为了得到普通学校证书我学过哪些课程，多大年纪了；玩些什么游戏；这时他突然用那双满是血丝的眼睛盯着我，问我是否认为游戏在儿童教育中起着很大的作用。我含含糊糊地说了些别把游戏看得太重要的话。他咕哝了几句。我说错了话。我和校长显然没有什么共同语言。
