Every couDle who goes to the altar(圣坛)believes that they will make that trip onlyonce in their lives.They want the day to be perfect,and they are asking for much more than good weather.Thev want the most beautiful clothes,the freshest flowers.Moreover,her family who will foot the bill is not in any mood,to economize. A quick look at any bride magazine will reveal that plenty of attractive goods and services compete for a share of the wedding budget.Besides the obvious choices of rings,dresses,flowers,and photographs,there are the less apparent expenses:a lavish(奢侈的)cake,a rehearsal dinner,a reception,music fbr both the ceremony and the reception,tips,and even nadkins and matchbooks printed with the couple’s names and the wedding date. As the arrangements are generally complicated,there are plenty of services that can be hired to helD with the planning and execution of the every aspect of the wedding:planning the photographs,selecting the wedding rings,choosing the flowers,picking the honeymoon spot,and so on.One magazine lists over 350 such pamphlets published,of course,by businesses who have something to offer.Considering that weddings do more than l 2 billion dollars worth of business annually in the US alone,such activity isn’t surprising. What is surprising is that not one company dominates the industry.It seems that when people plan for a day as special to them as a weddin9,they resist standardization.They turn instead to the small local suppliers known to them or to their friends.Family members or friends often servee as Dhotographers,caterers and musicians.This.not only helps bring the wedding cost down,but makes it more personal. What about the couple that doesn’t want to take in this billion-dollar industry?They can go to eity hall and get married for less than the price of a hamburger.
What does the expression“this billion.dollar industry”refer to?
A.The budgets of weddings.
B.The business ofweddings.
C.The planning and execution of weddings
D.The high wedding expenses.

??Questions 1 to 5 arc based on the following passage:
Shopping for clothes is not the same experience for a man as it is for a woman. A man goes shopping because he needs something, his purpose is settled and decided in advance. He knows what he wants and his objective is to find it and buy it; the price is a secondary consideration.
All men simply walk into a shop and ask the assistant for what they went. If the shop has it in stock, the salesman promptly producesit, and the business of trying it on proceeds at once. All being we1l, the deal can beand of ten is completed in less than five minutes, with hardly any chat and to everyone&39;s satisfaction.
For a man, slight problems may begin when the shop does not have what he wants, or does not have exactly what he wants. In that case the salesman, as the name implies, tries to sell the customer something else. He offers the nearest he can to the article required. No good salesman bring sout such a substitute directly, he does so with skill: “I know this jacket is not the sty]e you want, Sir! but would you like to try it for size? It happens to be the color you mentioned.”
Few men have patience with this treatment, and the usual responseis:
“This is the right color and may be the right size, but I should be wasting my time and yours by trying it on.”
Now how does a woman go about buying clothes?In almost every respect she does so in the opposite way. Her shopping not often based on need. She has never fully made up her mind what she wants, and she is only “having a look round”. She is always open to persuasion; indeed she sets great store by what the saleswoman tells her. She will try on any number of things. Uppermost in her mind is the thought of finding something that everyone thinks suits her.
Contrary to a lot of jokes, most women have an excellent sense of value when they buy clothes. They are always on the look out for the unexpected bargain. Faced with a roomful of dresses, a woman may easily spend an hour going from one rail to another, to and fro, before selecting the dresses she wants to try on. It is a 1aborious(费时的) process, but apparently an enjoyable one.
Most dress shops provide chairs for the waiting husbands.
