consists of two married adults, usually a man and a woman (almost always from different lineages and not 
related by blood) along with their offspring, usually living in a private and separate dwelling. This type of 
unit, more specifically known as a (4)_________ family, is believed to be the oldest of the various types of 
families in existence. Sometimes the family includes not only the parents and their unmarried children

dependents (5)_________; such an arrangement is called an extended family.

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. 
There's no place in the world quite as famous for its culture as the island kingdom of Great Britain. 
With over two thousand years of culture from which to draw, the nation and its people celebrate weddings 
with a uniquely elegant sense of poise and class. 
A bride's wedding day is often touted as "the happiest day of her life", but in all honesty it's often a 
very stressful experience as there are lots of conventions surrounding the whole thing and you can get 
caught up in family rows, and trying to please everyone. Still it's a good test of a couple's courage. 
When the guests arrive for a wedding the ushers' duty is to hand out the correct books, flowers and 
the order of service, they also ensure the guests are seated in the correct places. Traditionally, the side on 
which people sit depends on whether they are friends or family of the bride or of the groom. The front rows 
are generally reserved for close family or friends, with the very first seats reserved for the bridal party. 
However, in many ceremonies the bridal party will remain standing at the altar during the ceremony along 
with the bride and groom. 
During the ceremony the bride and groom make their marriage vows. Marriage vows are promises a 
couple makes to each other during a wedding ceremony. In Western culture, these promises have 
traditionally included the notions of affection, faithfulness, unconditionality, and permanence. 
Most wedding vows are taken from traditional religious ceremonies, but nowadays in the UK many 
couples choose touching love poems or lyrics from a love song revised as wedding vows and some couples 
even choose to write their own vows, rather than relying on standard ones spoken by the celebrant. 
After the vows have been spoken the couple exchange rings. The wedding ring is placed on the 
third finger of the left hand, also called the "ring" finger. The wedding ring is usually a plain gold ring. 
After the wedding ceremony, the bride, groom, officiant, and two witnesses generally go off to a side room 
to sign the wedding register. Without this the marriage is not legal and a wedding certificate cannot be 
issued. 
Question 36: What does the passage mainly discuss? 
 A. The bride’s and groom’s vows in Great Britain. 
 B. Traditional wedding ceremony in the United Kingdom. 
 C. Some types of wedding ceremonies in the United Kingdom.

Question 37: According paragraph 2, the couple can get stressed on their wedding day___________.

 B. due to traditional customs during and after the wedding ceromony. 
 C. because the newly-wedded couple have to take a test of courage. 
 D. since the surroundings discourage the couple. 
Question 38: The word “they” in paragraph 3 refers to___________. 
 A. ushers B. guests C. books D. married couples 
Question 39: The word “vows” in paragraph 4 is closest in meaning to___________. 
 A. promises B. agreements C. compromises D. arguments 
Question 40: In a British traditional wedding, the places where the guests sit___________. 
 A. are conditional on their relationship to the couple 
 B. are seated by the couple 
 C. depend on whether their friends or family are standing 
 D. at the altar during the ceremony along with the bride and groom. 
Question 41: According the passage, nowadays what can be replaced traditional wedding vows EXCEPT? 
 A. touching love poems B. love song lyrics 
C. the couple’s own wows D. the celebrant’s wows 
Question 42: The wedding certificate will be issued___________.

 B. as soon as the couple legalize their wedding register.
