Weddings are important in every country, and there are different wedding customs in different countries. In western countries the bride's (新娘的) dress—her wedding dress—is very important. Some brides wear a new dress. Some brides wear the dress their mothers or even their grandmothers wore at their weddings.
Some people believe the bride should wear something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue. She may wear an old ring and will usually have new shoes. She may borrow something to wear from a friend, and the ring on her finger may have a blue jewel in it or some of her clothes may be blue.
Many married people in western countries wear a ring to show that they are married. They wear the ring on the fourth finger of their left hands.
At the wedding, as soon as the man and the woman are married, their friends often throw rice or very small pieces of paper over the couple. They believe this will bring them good luck and that they will have many children. The bride often carries flowers, and after the wedding she throws them up in the air. People believe that the woman who catches the flowers is lucky enough. The bride and the groom (新郎), their friends and family then have a party. After that the bride and the groom go on holiday together. This holiday is called "the honeymoon".

根据短文内容回答下列问题
The Moments (朋友圈)section of WeChat has become
a popular part of the social networking platform(平台).
We can share everything about your life on it with your friends.Some students had a discussion on whether to allow our parents to see our moments.
Yes | No |
Stella, 16: I think it's meaningful to let parents see our Moments.Some say that without parents' involvement(参与),they feel free when sharing things online.However,as teenagers,sometimes we do need our parent's guidance,especially in terms of social experiences.What's more,shutting them off my make the generation gap (代沟)bigger and bigger,while inviting them in can help us to communicate and feel closer to each other. Denny,16: Most of my friends keep your parents out of their Moments.They argue that if their parents get involved,they will feel upset.However I feel happy when my parents comment (评论)on my posts in my Moments.It shows their love and care for me.It also makes them happy and stops them from worrying about me.We'll leave them when we grow up.Why not cherish(珍惜) every opportunity to interact(互动) with them? | Robin,16: I don't allow my parents to see my Moments.Everyone needs some privacy and we all have our own secrets and lifestyles.If my parents could see my posts there,they may push me around with your ideas,nagging(唠叨) at me to do as they wished,which would be unacceptable to me even though it would show their love and care. After all, appropriate distance unites the family better. Laura,16: I believe blocking (屏蔽)our parents in Moments is not a bad idea,as the generation gap can be a great problem.Online social media(媒体) is mainly a way of communicating with friends of our own age.We can have more freedom to develop our thoughts and interests. Besides, we don't have to worry about our parents' presence.To enable them to read our daily posts would create a lot of misunderstandings. |

The population of Earth is still going up. There will be less and less good land for growing crops in the future. People worry that there will not be enough food for everyone in the middle of this century.
Recently scientists have discovered one strange plant named fedtschenkoi(玉吊钟)may help. It can absorb(吸收)carbon dioxide(CO₂) at night. It only needs 10 times less water than food plants like beans. This means it can grow in the desert(沙漠).
In which ways could this plant help us?
Since deserts are increasing in size because of the changes in Earth's climate, growing plants there will be more and more important. Although it is dangerous to eat this plant, scientists can still study something about it: how it absorbs CO₂ at night while many other plants only do this during the day, and why it is suited to the desert.
There is another direction to take the research in. Producing a desert plant to eat will be difficult, but there is still possibility to use the genes(基因)from this plant and put them into food plants.
The other way is to grow this type of plant for fuel(燃料). At the moment we grow plants for fuel in good land. If we do it in deserts instead, more good land can be used to grow plants for food.
Desert plants have special qualities, which could be an answer to our future food or energy needs. Scientists are working hard on it.
