I had come to 36 a checking account. The only officer on 37 was a fortyish black man, standing 38 a small counter from a young white boy who was wearing a V-necked sweater. I think I was especially 39 of the boy because he looked more like a kid from a prep school than a 40 in a West Side bank. The boy continued to 41 my attention because of what happened next. He was holding an open savings-account book and 42 an expression of disappointment. “But I don’t understand. I opened the account myself, so why can’t I 43 any money?” the boy said, his voice breaking. “I know it is, but those are the rules. I’ve already explained to you that a fourteen-year-old is not 44 to withdraw money without a letter from his parents,” the officer explained patiently. Suddenly I noticed the account had a series of small deposits and withdraws. Then I questioned the officer, “How do you 45 that? Why did you let him withdraw money before, but not now?” He looked 46 . “Because the tellers were not aware of his age before and now they are. It’s really very 47 .” I turned to the boy with a shrug. “You’re really getting 48 ,” I said. “You ought to get your parents to come in here and 49 .” The boy looked destroyed. 50 , he put his savings book in a rear-pocket and walked out of the bank. The officer turned to me. “You know,” he said, “you really shouldn’t have got 51 .” I couldn’t believe what this idiot was saying. “We were 52 this morning that some neighborhood bully has been shaking down (敲诈) this boy for more than a month. The other guy was 53 him to take money out every week and hand it over. The poor kid was 54 too scared to tell anyone. Anyway, the police are on the case and they’ll probably make a(n) 55 today." “You mean there is no rule about being too young to withdraw money from a savings account?” “Not that I ever heard of. Now, sir, what can we do for you?” 36. A. make B. open C. buy D. choose 37. A. duty B. board C. display D. show 38. A. on B. after C. over D. across 39. A. sure B. proud C. aware D. afraid 40.

Marriage by capture, also called bride kidnapping (绑架), has been practiced throughout history and around the world and goes back to primitive culture when tribal groups were hostile (敌视的) to each other. While trying to conquer a hostile tribe, the groom kidnapped the woman he wished to marry. The groom usually brought along a fellow-warrior as his “best man” to help kidnap the bride-to-be. The bridesmaid, or the maid of honor, and the honeymoon are also relics (遗产) of bride kidnapping. In the old days, the bridesmaids were the women who helped the bride to get captured by the groom she wanted. Today a bridesmaid is one of the women who attend to the bride at a wedding and is usually a sister or close friend of the bride. The practice of having a honeymoon goes back to the time when the groom had to go into hiding with his kidnapped bride to avoid being discovered by her relatives. Today many newlyweds still keep their honeymoon plans a secret from their relatives. The custom of marriage by capture may have gradually led to marriage by purchase. In order to avoid tribal warfare, the groom offered to pay a bride price to the bride’s parents as compensation for their loss. The bride price is not the same as the dowry, which is the property a bride brings to her husband upon the marriage to help establish the new household. Giving a bride price is still practiced in many Asian countries. The practice of “giving the bride away” in the modern wedding ceremony originated from the time when the bride’s parents arranged her marriage and gave or sold her to the groom. Today at some wedding ceremonies, the minister may ask, “Who gives this woman to this man in marriage?” To show his approval, the father will reply, “I do” and then give his daughter away to the groom by putting her hand into the groom’s hand. In the modern world, marriage by capture is widely considered a sex crime, though it is still practiced in some cultures, and marriage by purchase has almost died away. The modern version of marriage is marriage by mutual love. In most countries today, marriage is governed by civil law. Although most couples celebrate their wedding in the presence of a priest, rabbi, or minister, depending on their religious beliefs, they must have the official marriage license to make their marriage valid. The modern marriage makes good use of many old traditions a
