They can even change your life. Especially if you say them at your own weddin
15、g. 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 many her. If the father agrees, the man late
16、r 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 fight to get married. The man usually gives his fiance a diamond ring as a symbol of their engagement. They may be engaged for weeks, months or e
17、ven 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.At last its time for the wedding. Although most weddings follow long-held traditi
18、ons, there s still room for American individualism. For example, the usual place for a wedding is in a church. But some people get married outdoors in a scenic spot. A few even have the ceremony while sky-diving or riding on horseback! The couple may invite hundreds of people or just a few close fri
19、ends. They choose their own style of colors, decorations and music during the ceremony. But some things rarely change. The bride usually wears a beautiful, long white wedding dress. She traditionally wears “something old, something new, something borrowed and something blue“. The groom wears a forma
20、l suit or tuxedo. Several close friends participate in the ceremony as attendants, including the best man and the maid of honor.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 bea
21、utiful 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
22、commitment. Finally the minister announces the big moment: “I now pronounce you man and wife. You may kiss your bride!“At the wedding reception, the bride and groom greet their guests. Then they cut the wedding cake and feed each other a bite. Guests mingle while enjoying cake, punch and other treat
23、s. Later the bride throws her bouquet of flowers to a group of single girls. Tradition says mat the one who catches the bouquet will be the next to many. During the reception, playful friends “decorate“ the couple s car with tissue paper, tin cans and a “Just Married“ sign. When the reception is ove
24、r, the newlyweds nm to their “decorated“ car and speed off. Many couples take a honeymoon, a one-to two-week vacation trip, to celebrate their new marriage.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
25、 its 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.（分数：4.00）(1).The word “business“ occurs twice in the first paragraph, what does the second “business“ mean?（分数：1.00）A.Trade.B.Affair.C.Duty.D.R

29、o promote women s participation in sports activities in the Olympic Games. Sport, whether competition sport or sport for all, has become a social force with a major impact on the structure of society and the condition of women. In all countries, the message and values communicated by sport, through
30、its regulatory bodies, math a substantial part of the population regardless of social class. Because of this, sport is a tremendous medium of communication and emancipation which has to a certain extent helped to build women s awareness and hence their role in society.And it is worth stressing that
31、by engaging in activities which are by definition dosed to them, women can overturn social preconceptions and reassert their identity. Engaging in sport enriches women in terms of communication, feelings and sociability. It is certainly true that this process is largely determined by the position of
32、 women within a given society, and that they are still under-represented in countries where cultural and religious traditions limit their advancement. However, we will see more and more women choosing to take up a sport, whether this means breaking with the norms of their society or staying within t
33、hem. Regardless of the path chosen, these women will become role models for many of their peers who see their actions as a contribution, however small, to their emancipation.The Olympic Movement is firmly convinced of the need to encourage sports practice among women, and is working to that end, at
34、the same time taking cultural specifics into account and accommodating them. Women must also play a greater part in decision making. It is our task to facilitate access for women to leadership positions within national and world sport, as it is through them that these ideas can be passed on to futur
35、e generations, since women are still the privileged interlocutors for education in the broadest sense of the term.Historically, and although the 1896 Olympic Games were not opened to women, they were already taking part in physical activities in the ancient times, and particularly in the competition
36、s of the Her Games, staged specifically for them. Historical documents also show that Roman women were engaged in horse-tiding and swimming. During the Middle Ages and the Renaissance, women put leisure activities aside, as did men. But the following centuries were marked by renewed interest, until
37、at the end of the nineteenth century women became more involved in sports activities by establishing their own clubs and taking up new sports. Women s first participation in the Olympic Games goes back to 1900 when they took part in the tennis and golf events and in an increasing number of other spo
38、rts in following years. We are pleased to see that Coubertin s reservations did not prevent women from participating nor did it stop them from organizing their own Women s Olympiad at Monaco in 1921 on the initiative A/ice Milliat, the great champion of women s rights in European sport.More generall
39、y since the 1970s, we have seen a rising awareness of the contribution of sport to well-being and in particular to that of women. Women s sports associations and clubs have made their appearance mostly in the developed countries but also in developing ones. Thanks to the efforts of women and their s
40、truggle for equality, women s competitive sport has gained full recognition.As a result, women today took part in the Games of the XXVI Olympiad in the United States of America, in 1996, with a program of 21 sports, and 108 events, including 11 mixed events, and will compete in six sports and 31 eve
41、nts, including 2 mixed events, in the XVIII Olympic Winter Games in Nagano, Japan, in 1998. It was also with the aim of promoting women s sport that the IOC decided tall sports seeking inclusion in the Olympic program must include women s events.（分数：5.00）(1).The International Olympic Committee defin

Raising his hand, he wiped the sweat from his forehead and heavily wrinkled face. He didnt use the traditional kerchief and headband as usual, though he could fee
47、l the sweat running down his temple and neck, and he gave no reply to the man seated behind the table who went on asking him, “Why did you go in opening all the doors of the wards looking for your wife? Why didnt you come directly to Enquires?“ The old man kept silent. Why, though, was the man seate

His eyes busy watching him, he said, “I came here the day before yesterday wanting the hospital and looking for the mother of my children.“The man seated behind the table muttered irritably, blaming himself for not having ever learned how to ask the right question, how to get a conversation going, and why it was that his question, full of explanations, and sometimes of annoyance, werent effective. He puffed at his cigarette as he enquired in exasperation, “What s your wife s name?“ Th
