Can you imagine your parents choosing your husband or wife for you? And can you imagine not setting eyes on him or her until your wedding day? This situation is common in India, the Middle East and many parts of Africa.   36   We don't realize that people in other places often get married in very different ways ---and with different motives（动机）．

37   A marriage provides a safe and stable home for the husband and wife．It also joins children, making sure the couple will be taken care of in old age．Because a marriage is important for the whole family, some cultures don't let young people choose whom to marry．

Just as there are many different reasons for marriage, there are also many different wedding rituals（仪式）,  38  In a typical Western wedding, the bride（新娘） seeks good luck by wearing "something old, something new, something borrowed and something blue." Something old represents the past．Something new represents success in the future．Something borrowed reminds the bride she can get help from her friends and family.  39   

In Poland, one wedding tradition is not only lucky, but also very practical．The wedding guests pin money to the bride's dress while she is dancing．The money is meant to bring luck and to help the young couple build their new life．In Bermuda, the young couple plants a tree in the yard of their new home．Once they move in, they take good care of the tree , making it grow and blossom（开花）．The planting of the tree is a good metaphor（隐喻） for marriage. 40   

A．Every culture has its own ways of bringing good luck to the happy couple．

 B．A truly good marriage is something that grows with care．

 C．In the United States, parents do not arrange marriages for their children．

 D．And something blue reminds her to be true to her husband．

 E．Marriage customs around the world often differ from our own．

 F．In many countries, marriage is a practical matter．

 G．Different countries have different cultures．
