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 brides 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.

101. Where does the wedding ceremony take place? a. brides parents house b. church c. grooms parents house d. bride and grooms new home

102. When 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

103. Where does the couple live until spring? a. the church b. a temporary house of their own c. the grooms parents house d. the brides parents house

104. What time of year does the wedding ceremony take place? a. spring b. summer c. fall d. winter

105. What might the Amish groom give the bride as a proposal gift? a. Sunday church outfit b. dishes c. ring d. house

106. What do most North American men give as an engagement gift? a. clock b. dishes c. ring d. clothing

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 mile loop that provides beautiful vistas near the cliff area. The most popular attraction of the monument is found underground, in marble caverns which starch for three miles. These were created thousands of years ago. The caverns have one of the largest collections cave-dwelling insects in United States. Recently, jaguar and grizzly bear fossils were found in some of the deeper chambers. Scratch marks made by bears on a dried mud wall in one of the caves are thought to date to the last Ice Age between 40,000 and 10,000 years ago.

Preparing for the Tour The cave temperature remains constant at 41o F (5o C), so warm clothing is recommended. You should also wear good walking shoes, because the trail surface is uneven and slippery. You can bring a camera, but tripods are not allowed. Flashlights are permitted, but are not really necessary. To go on cave tours, young children must be at least 42 inches (106 cm) tall. Children may not be carried through the cave. Childcare services are not available.

Food, Lodging and Camping Facilities The Chateau, a 22-room hotel (closed December February) provides lodging facilities in the Park. The hotel includes a coffee shop and dining room. A rustic campground with 30 tent sites is located within a short distance. The campground has no running water or electricity.

Special Needs The cave tour is quite strenuous, and is not recommended for people with heart, breathing or walking difficulties. Because the elevation of the cave is about 4,000 feet, high carbon dioxide levels can make breathing difficult. The tour route rises 200 feet (60m) through the caves, and there are over 500 stairs to climb. Only the first cave room of the caverns is wheelchair accessible.

Times of Tours During the summer, most visitors arrive at the caves around 11:00 am, causing cave tours to fill up quickly. I f you arrive at around 11:00 am, expect crowded conditions, few parking spaces, and long waits for tours. You should allow three hours for a cave visit during peak season, one hour for the tour and up to two hours waiting time. Groups of 10 or more must register at least 2 weeks in advance.

Fees Adults $ 8.00

Children $5.00 (under 12 years) Seniors $ 7.00 (With Golden Age Passport)
