she

It’s
May
18th,the
most
popular
day
to
get
married in room is
filled with brides preparing for their special
day.
“Everyone
feels very emotional at this are a lot of rituals

（

）
a
t
weddings,”says
Maxine
Rowe,an
anthropologist.
Karen
’s
aunt
and
sisters
help
her
check
off
the
things
she
needs
accordi
ng
to old customs. They read the traditional poem,
“Something old,
something
new,
something
borrowed,
and
something
blue.”
Female
friends
and
relatives gather around
and
contribute
grandmother
’
s
locket
（纪念品）
, a
cousin
’
s wedding veil ,or a
blue garter to prepare for the
ceremony.
Many
wedding
traditions
in
western
cultures
were
designed
to
protect the couple from bad luck. “The
wedding veil is a Greek custom,to
hide
the
bride
from
evil
spirits,”says
Maxine.
“The
Romans
developed
the custom of bridesmaids(i.e. women
dressed like the bride) to confuse
the
,some wedding flowers have a strong smell to scare
away
the evil spirits.”
In China, thousands of couples choose
May 18 for their wedding day.
“
In
the past,
people consulted
an
almanac
（历书）
to
find
lucky
days,
”
explains Maxine.
“
But in modern times a new
tradition is being formed.
”
May 18 sounds very close in Chinese to
“
wo yao
fa,
”
or
“
I will get
rich.
”
It is
considered a good omen to get married on this day.
Some people don
’
t
think it is a good idea for everyone to get
married
on the same day.
“
It
’
s
silly and superstitious,
”
a
newspaper reporter wrote.
But
hairdressers,and owners of flower
stores,restaurants and car services
say
it
’
s the best day of the
year. They can raise their prices for this one
day and their services will still be
fully booked.
Maybe they are the ones
who should be saying,
“
I will get
rich.
”

A
good deal of fascinating research has been done
about the reading
patterns of young
people, and it is surprising to discover at what
an early
age children start expressing
preferences for particular kind of books. A
recent report, which
1
in
detail the reading habits of primary-school
children, showed that even seven-year-
old boys and girls have 2
views
about what they want
to read. Girls, in general, read more, and
3
more
girls than boys
preferred reading stories. Boys were showing a
4
for
the
more
instant
appeal
of
picture
stories,
or
else
books
about
their
hobbies
．
These
tastes
continue
5
until
the
children
are
teenagers.
Apparently girls
read more in general, but more fiction in
particular. You
could say that there
are more
6
for girls to
read fiction: magazines
7
the fiction
habit in girls in their early teens, and by their
late
teens
they
have
probably
moved
on
to
the
adult
women’
s
magazines.
Teenage boys

to buy magazines about
their hobbies
：
motorcycles,
heavy transport and to
on
．
Adult
reading
tastes
are
also
the

of
research
．
Again
the
number
of
women
who
read
for
pleasure
is
10
higher
than
the
number
of
men.
It
seems
that
the
majority
of
women
still
want
love
stories.
There
has
also
been
some
analysis
of
what
men
actually
read
Apparently only 38
percent of men read
anything
，
but 50 percent of
what
they read is fiction in the form
of action-
packed(

of space or gunmen.
A)
