Marriage is an ancient religious and legal practice celebrated around the world. However, wedding customs vary from country to country. The Wedding Dress: In many countries, it is customary for the bride to wear a white dress as a symbol of purity. The tradition of wearing a special white dress only for the wedding ceremony started around 150 years ago. Before that, most women could not afford to buy a dress that they would only wear once. Now, bridal dresses can be bought in a variety of styles. In some Asian countries and in the Middle East, colors of joy and happiness like red or orange other than white are worn by the bride or used as part of the wedding ceremony, The Wedding Rings: In many cultures, couples exchange rings, usually made of golf or silver and worn on the third finger of the left or right hand, during the marriage ceremony. The circular shape of the ring is symbolic of the couple's eternal union. In Brazil, it is traditional to have the rings engraved with the bride's name on the groom’s ring, an vice versa. Flowers: Flowers play an important role in most weddings. Roses are said to be the flowers of love, and because they usually bloom in June, this has become the most popular month for weddings in many countries. After the wedding ceremony, in many countries the bride throws her bouquet into a crowd of well-wishers – usually her single female friends. The person who catches this bouquet will be the next one to marry. Gifts: In Chinese cultures, wedding guests give gifts of money to the newly-weds in small red envelopes. Money is also an appropriate gift at Korean and Japanese wedding. In many Western countries, for example in the U.K, wedding guests give the bride and groom household items that they may need for their new home. In Russia, rather than receiving gifts, the bride and groom provide gifts to their guests instead. With the continued internationalization of the modern world, wedding customs that originated in one part of the world are crossing national boundaries and have been incorporated into marriage ceremonies in other countries.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 34 to 40. Narwhals, a species of whales, has an unusual and mysterious long tusk, once harvested and sold as a unicorn horn for ten times its weight in gold! You don’t have to search far and wide to find narwhals these days. The so-called "unicorns of the sea" are plastered on everything from kids’ pajamas and lunchboxes to plush toys and LEGO sets. But seeing the animals in the wild is something else entirely. As a true Arctic whale, narwhals can mostly be found in the frigid waters of Canada and Greenland. And while the males sport spiraled, eight-foot-long tusks that push their total body length towards the size of a school bus, these conspicuous-looking creatures aren’t fond of the limelight. "They're really an elusive whale," says Kristin Laidre, an Arctic ecologist at the University of Washington who’s studied narwhals for about 20 years. "They’re very skittish and I guess I’d say sneaky. They startle easily, so they’re not a whale that's going to aggregate around your boat or anything like that for whale watching.” This makes seeing a narwhal in its natural habitat difficult, but not impossible - providing you know where to look. As mammals, narwhals must periodically return to the water’s surface to breathe. And while they can swim far beneath the ice floes in search of Greenland halibut, cod, shrimp, and squid, their distances are limited by how many openings there are in the ice. That edge, where ice meets water, makes for the ideal narwhal sighting spot, says David Briggs, an expedition leader for Arctic Kingdom, a travel company specializing in Arctic safaris, private polar expeditions, and logistics. "They’re on a migratory path, and that path is interrupted by this ice,” says Briggs, who has worked in the region for a decade. "And so while they’re at that edge, they continue to feed and wait for the ice to break up further so they can get down the inlets to where they calve.” Of course, those who make the trek and have the patience can be rewarded with a life-changing narwhal experience. According to Briggs, there’s just nothing like hearing the pshhhh of a narwhal blowing for the first time. The sound indicates that the animal has just exhaled after a deep dive underwater. As with other whales, sometimes you can spot flecks of water and mist in the air as the narwhals surface. And on a really good day, you might even spot a pod of 50 to 100 narwhals surfacing together, he says.
