In China, children like to make promises by hooking pinkies with each other. They say, “A pinkie promise must be16 for 100 years.” Then

they may press their thumbs together to complete the promise. Sometimes,

17 will hook pinkies and promise to be together forever.

There are many theories(推测) on the origin of the pinkie promise. Some say it comes from a nursery rhyme. 18 say it was introduced from the West – born out of a love story where a man and a woman hooked fingers.

One theory is that it may have 19 to do with the role of fingers in Chinese culture. The Chinese character for “finger” also means “aim(旨)” (referring to people’s thoughts). So hooking fingers can be seen as the exchanging of 20 .

Therefore, the fingers play a(n) 21 role in making an oath(盟约): They can not only be used to complete a promise, but also be cut for making a blood oath. When someone swears to heaven, he uses his 22 to point to the sky.

23 , hooking fingers means making a serious promise. In some movies, a person who breaks a promise may have his little finger cut 24 ! Of course, this kind of thing is not very likely to happen in real life. But we can still see 25 important “pinkie promises” can be. So next time, when you hook pinkies with someone, you’d better be careful with your promise!

16. A. recorded B. kept C. remained D. noticed

17. A. enemies B. cousins C. strangers D. couples

18. A. The other B. Another C. Others D. Other

19. A. something B. anything C. nothing D. everything

20. A. promises B. gifts C. roles D. thoughts

21. A. ancient B. important C. pleasant D. modern

22. A. head B. hand C. shoulder D. finger

23. A. Generally B. Suddenly C. Simply D. Luckily

24. A. over B. into C. off D. in

25. A. what B. how C. when D. whether
