Read “African Animals” and answer questions 1 to 6.

African Animals

　　The waterbuck is a type of antelope. All male waterbucks have horns, which may be big or small, straight or curved. Waterbucks use their horns when fighting and defending themselves.

　　Zebras have sturdy bodies and long, straight legs that are good for running. Zebras help one another to look and listen for danger. If one zebra sees a lion, it makes a loud noise to warn the others. A zebra can run faster than a lion unless it is caught by surprise. No two zebra have exactly the same stripes.

　　Cheetahs can run as fast as seventy-five miles an hour. Strong claws on the cheetah's feet help it to grip the ground when it is running fast. Powerful back legs help it spring forward.

　　A meerkat is a type of mongoose, and it makes its home in an underground burrow. When a group of meerkats goes out hunting for food, one of them acts as a sentry and looks out for larger predators that might be hunting them. If it spots danger, it calls out a warning, and all the meerkats race back to the burrow.

Weddings are quite different——from nation to nation, from area to area, and from the past to the present. However, all people consider weddings to be important and happy events.

People in the Western world go to church for their weddings, while some tribes（部落） in Africa hold their weddings in the open around a campfire, with much dancing.

In China, weddings are different from those abroad. People in the countryside used to carry the bride in a sedan chair from her parents’ house to her new home. Now sedan chairs are seldom seen. Instead, the bridegroom may take the bride to their own new house by bicycle or by tractor（拖拉機(jī)）. In the city the bride usually prefers a car, brightly decorated(裝飾) with flowers and a Chinese character(漢字) meaning double happiness. However, a wedding dinner is necessary in both the countryside and the city. Relatives(親戚) and friends who are invited to the dinner usually drink to the happiness of the bride and bridegroom.

1.What do people all over the world think of weddings?

A. interesting and easy                     B. important and fun

C. happy and important                  D. interesting and happy

A. a bride      B. a bridegroom         C. a sedan chair        D. a church

3.Where can the wedding be held in the open air in the world after you read the passage?

A. In China         B. In Western countries    

C. In the countryside   D. In Africa

A. 2            B. 3                C. 4                D. 5

A. Introduce the Western weddings.
