一、Jason 写邮件告诉 Claire 法国的婚礼习俗。请阅读下面邮件，用括号中所给单词的适当形式填空。
Dear Claire，
At a French wedding ceremony(婚礼仪式)，the bride(新娘) and the groom(新郎) exchange rings. In France，wedding rings are usually worn on the 1.(four) finger of the left hand，which is known as the ring finger. That is a 2.(culture) difference. French people believe this finger is directly 3.(connect) to the heart. Flowers play an important role in 4.(more) weddings. It's 5.(common) to decorate the wedding hall with flowers. The mothers of the bride and groom lay flowers on the shoulders of the couple. They do this to bring the couple 6.(happy) and good luck. After the wedding ceremony，the bride throws a bunch(束) of flowers to the single guests. It is said that the person who 7.(catch) the flowers will be the next one to get 8.(marry).
How 9.(amaze) it is! I'm looking forward to 10.(hear) from you soon!
Yours，
Jason

二、汉字蕴含着丰富的历史与文化。请阅读下面短文，根据短文内容从每小题所给的 A、B、C、D 四个选项中选出最佳选项。
The elements of directions are often built into many Chinese characters(汉字) with history and culture hidden behind.
In the Tang Dynasty，there were two popular markets in Chang'an，the national capital at that time. One was called the East Market，and the other was called the West Market. Back then，people would go to the East Market first and then the West Market to do some shopping. As time went by，the Chinese phrase “maidongxi”(买东西) became the common way to say “go shopping” in daily life.
Most people are right - handed. So in ancient China，the character zuo(左，meaning “left”) was related to being different or unusual，such as in the Chinese idiom(成语) yijianxiangzuo(意见相左)，which means to have totally different opinions. If people do something in a wrong and unusual way，we may say they are using ▲.
The concepts(概念) of left and right are also related to people's social position. In ancient China，“right” stood for a higher position than “left” for a long time. For example，the character you(佑)，developed from you(右，meaning “right”)，means a person in a higher position would protect someone in a lower position.
