Weddings in the United States vary as much as the people do. There are church weddings with a great deal of fanfare(儀式上的短曲); there are weddings on mountain tops with guests barefooted; there have been weddings on the ocean floor with oxygen tanks for the guests.

It is traditional to use the words “to have and to hold from this day forward, for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish, till death do us part.” Following the vows, the couple exchange rings. Wearing the wedding rings on the fourth finger of the left hand is an old custom.

After the ceremony, there is often a party, called a “reception” which gives the wedding guests an opportunity to congratulate the new couple.

Paparazzi, (狗仔隊)or “paps”, are photographers who take pictures of famous people when they are not at the center of public attention. Paps are different from professional photographers or journalists because they never take ordinary photos.

The goal for paparazzi is to get pictures that no one else will get and then sell the pictures to the buyer who offers the most money — normainly a small newspaper, magazine or website.

There is no law against paparazzi taking pictures in public places. However, there are laws that protect certain individuals. For example, child protection laws stop improper pictures of anyone under 16 from being published.

There is also no law that stops paparazzi from following celebrities（名人） and taking their pictures either. However, if paps are secretly following them and taking pictures of their faces, they could get into trouble.

Most paparazzi hang out on streets and hot spots for celebrities, waiting for the opportunity to take a picture of a star. Many stay on the streets until the early hours of the morning when celebrities are leaving nightclubs and looking a little worse for wear. However, some have other ways to make sure they get pictures. Many paps are in contact with “informers” who know the locations of celebrities at any given time. They then pass the information on to paparazzi. An informer could be anyone — from a restaurant waiter to a salesman.

Most of the time, paparazzi get a bad reputation for following celebrities. But sometimes stars or their managers will contact paps themselves and tell them exactly where and when they will go. What a love-hate relationship between paparazzi and celebrities!

1.Which of the following things paparazzi might do would be against the law?

A. Taking pictures of famous people in public places.

B. Getting unsuitable pictures of a 10-year-old actress published.

C. Following a famous woman singer secretly and taking her pictures.

D. Hanging out at the places where celebrities often appear.

2. In order to earn big money a pap has to ________.

A. make friends with famous people

B. sell the pictures to a big newspaper

C. get the only first-hand pictures

D. know the locations of celebrities

3.The fifth paragraph mainly tells us ________.

A. how much paparazzi pay for the pictures

B. how dangerous paparazzi’s job is

C. how paparazzi contact informers .

D. how paparazzi get the pictures

4. What can we infer from the passage?

A. Paparazzi always take pictures when famous people are tired.

B. Stars hate paparazzi and don’t want to be followed.

C. Informers might get paparazzi into trouble.

D.Paparazzi and famous people rely on each other sometimes.

5.The underlined phrase "hang out" probably means _______.

A. check out

B. keep away
