Reading comprehension
1.________
The basis for the outstanding theory as to why rice and other grains, such as wheat, have played an important role in marriage ceremonies for centuries, is that they are filled with symbolism of fertility(多產(chǎn))and of prosperity.By throwing rice and at the bride and groom at a wedding, guests symbolically wish them a lifetime full of these blessings.
2.________
Historically, in certain primitive tribal cultures, the act of having rice together bound a couple, as eating this local food together implied their living together.In other cultures, the symbolic of eating rice together preceded a shower of rice over the married couple.
3.________
Perhaps the most curious use of rice in the wedding ceremony was its use in some cultures not to unite the happy couple, but to feed the uninvited evil spirits who always attended the ceremony.The theory behind this practice was to keep evil away, as well–fed evil spirits would bring no harm to the couple.
4.________
In early Roman times, wheat was the grain of choice for the wedding ceremony, as wheat, not rice, symbolized fertility.The bride carried a bunch of wheat in her hand throughout the ceremony, or wore a garland(花環(huán))of wheat in her hair.Instead of the bride throwing a bunch of flowers, as is traditionally done today, wedding guests threw grains of wheat at her, and young single girls stepped over the grains that bounced off the young bride believing that these grains could ensure them a trip down the wedding path soon thereafter.
5.________
The wheat throwing custom fell by the wayside under the reign of Queen Elizabeth I of England when the once airborne wheat instead was baked into small cakes, which the guests then crumbled and threw over the bride’s head.Even this tradition gave way to another, in which large cake was baked then eaten, not thrown.Wedding guests, literally left empty–handed, had no choice but to find a suitable substitute for the costly wheat cakes.They needed something to throw at the bride to show that they themselves are active participants again in the ceremony.The natural choice was none other than cheap, clean, white rice, and the tradition then born has stuck to this day.

Most people know that a wedding ring is symbolic of the bond of love and commitment between two people. But not everyone knows about the history behind this small yet powerful symbol. The history of the wedding ring goes back not just hundreds but thousands of years. No other currently practiced wedding tradition has been around as long.
The Egyptians were the first recorded civilization to use the wedding ring. In Egyptian hieroglyphics(象形文字)a circle represented eternity. Once a woman accepted the ring she became the “property” of the person who gave it to her and she was in a sense “his”. The first wedding ring could have been made of braided grass or hay (which would have been changed often), ivory, bone, or leather. Finally, metal was used, but the first wedding bands were crude(未加工的)and rough. However, the sentiment remained the same-eternal commitment and love.
The Egyptians wore the wedding ring on the left hand because it was believed that a vein in the left hand went straight to the heart. This tradition is still commonly practiced today in most parts of the world largely for practical purposes(most people are right handed). It is worn on the fourth finger of the left hand. But there are some countries and groups which do not follow this tradition. In the Jewish faith, the wedding ring is put on the index finger. Roman Catholics traditionally wore their wedding band on the right hand, and in many countries and regions in Europe some people still follow this tradition.
It is interesting to note that in the long history of the wedding ring that it is only in the last century that men have begun to wear them.However, now both men and women show their love and commitment by exchanging rings on their wedding day.
Once you begin shopping for rings you may be amazed by the choices. There are several different types of metals: traditional gold, white gold, platinum, and titanium. You can have an inscription put on the inside of the band if you like. Some people are even choosing a tattoo band. The styles vary from a simple, yet elegant band to an elaborate ring covered with jewels. If you do not buy the wedding and engagement rings as a set, you will want to be sure the styles ar
e compatible(配套). Choose carefully because this choice will need to stand the test of eternity.
