READING READING READING
The Amish, a religious group in the United States, have wedding traditions that are different from
the ones of other North Americans. When an Amish man asks a woman to marry him he does not give
her a diamond ring. Instead, he may offer her a clock or a set of china dishes. After she accepts his offer,
the bride begins to sew her own wedding dress. It is usually blue or purple, rather than white, and is
always plain. The bride will not use this dress only once, but for the rest of her life as her Sunday church
outfit.
All couples get married in late fall, after the harvest and before the severe winter weather has
arrived. The wedding is announced in church just a few days before the actual ceremony, and all
members of the congregation are invited to the home of the bride’s parents for the festivities. A typical
wedding day begins very early. By 8:30 a.m. the daily farm chores have already been done and the guests
have arrived for the three-hour long ceremony. The rest of the afternoon and evening is spent eating,
visiting, and playing games. The next day the bride and groom have to get up early to clean the house. It
is not until spring that they move to a house of their own.
151. Where does the wedding ceremony take place?

a. bride’s parents’ house
b. church
c. groom’s parents’ house
d. bride and groom’s new home
152. When are the wedding guests notified about the upcoming event?
a. in the spring
b. before the harvest
c. the Sunday preceding the ceremony
d. when the bride accepts
153. Where does the couple live until spring?

a. the church
b. a temporary house of their own
c. the groom’s parents’ house
d. the bride’s parents’ house
154. What time of year does the wedding ceremony take place?
a. spring
b. summer
c. fall
d. winter
155. What might the Amish groom give the bride as a proposal gift?

Oregon Caves National Park
Come to Oregon Caves National Park, located in the
Kalamath Mountains of southwest Oregon! We have
warm, sunny summers with cool night temperatures.
This makes it ideal for picnicking and exciting outdoor
activities. The Park includes a pine forest with many
hiking trails which are used in the winter by cross-
country skiers. The Big Tree Trail takes you deep into
the woods on an overnight back-country hike. The
Nature Trail is a ¾ mile loop that provides beautiful
vistas near the cliff area.
The most popular attraction of the monument is found
underground, in marble caverns which stretch for three
miles. These were created thousands of years ago.
The caverns have one of the largest collections of Special Needs
