問題詳情:
Everybody loves a good wedding and I’m no exception. I’ve been to a load of them in my native Britain and I must say that I usually have a great time. Most recently I went to one in the mountains of Sardinia and I really enjoyed this one for the differences from those in the UK.
First, the two families spent three weeks before the big day preparing all the food, from wonderful home-made delicacies to simple traditional breads and pastas. In my experience, in the UK that hardest task is left to the caterers (承辦酒席的人)!
This particular ceremony was in a beautiful country church and afterwards the couple was driven to the reception in a wonderfully decorated classic Fiat 500, which was really similar to what happens in the UK. However, the wedding with around 500 guests is much larger.
The wine flowed, as did the chatter. There were the five or six courses of wonderful food, screaming kids running wild, the ceremonial cutting of the cake by the bride and groom, but no speeches! Not one. In the UK it’s traditional for the father of the bride to propose (提議) a toast, followed by the groom and finishing up with that of the best man (伴郎). His speech generally has a good laugh at the groom’s expense, but here the groom was spared that particular discomfort.
Instead there was a delightful custom which I’d never seen before, in which six or seven of the male guests pass round the hall banging trays, drums, pots, pans that make noise, selling pieces of the groom’s tie which has been cut into tiny bits. The money raised was then given to the happy couple to help them set up their new life together. Finally the evening saw a lot of traditional dancing, a little disco dancing and some karaoke. Pretty much the part I like best.

30. What can we infer about the best man’s speech at a traditional British wedding?
A. It is the best one of all the wedding speeches.
B. It is usually very traditional and sounds too flat.
C. It is funny but often makes the groom uncomfortable.
D. It is more delightful than the Sardinian ceremonial speech.
31. Why was the groom’s tie cut into small pieces?
A. To entertain the male guests as a wedding game.
