Passage 3
Questions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage:
Birth, marriage and death:these are the greatest events in human life. Many things, good and bad, can happen to us in our lives. (79)Yet there are three days which are usually marked by
some kind of special ceremony: the day we are born; the day we get married and the day we die.

The young couple:go through a special wedding ceremony and receive presents to help them set up their home. (80)Death is a time of sorrow and i,s marked by a special ceremony and mourning. The dates of all three events are usually remembered.
