12、thing borrowed from a friend that is happily married ”可知，C 项错在“any friend” ； D 项与文中的“Somethingnewis usually the easiest kind to fill”不符，故排除。3B 考查推理判断。通读全文可推测出，这几样新婚佩戴的物件都会给新婚夫妇带来好处。根据最后一段中的“Since most brides probably dont even know what a sixpence is”可知，现在大部分新娘都不知道六便士硬币是什么，故 A 选项“现在，新娘都熟悉六便士硬币”错误；C
