Young Koreans are beginning to do it alone when it comes to finding a partner, though
matchmaking
is still the most common way for boys to meet girls.
Professional matchmakers can make thousands of American dollars by introducing suitable marriage partners to each other, but partners also play a role in the process during which young Koreans meet.
In Confucius Korea, when marriage is regarded as more of a business contract than a sacred thing, the scene of the first meeting is repeated hundreds of times a day in coffee shops in the main hotels around Seoul.
The business of continuing the family lineage (血统) and keeping the bloodlines pure is often too important to be left to romance and chance encounters.
Often, the girl will work out a system of secret signals with her mother, from which her parents ca. . tell if she is interested.
For example, if the girl orders a coffee it might mean that she wants her parents to leave her alone with the boy, while a milk shows that she wants them to stay.
Sometimes the matchmaking is not always so formal, with the introduction being made by friends.
But whether through friends or families, there is hardly a Korean man or woman in the country who has not gone through this process—sometimes six or seven times.
The word "matchmaking" in this passage means______.
选项
A、a very formal ritual(仪式)attended by boys and girls
B、introducing boys and girls to know each other for the purpose of marriage
C、producing matches to make a fire or light a cigarette
D、arranging games between men and women
答案
B
解析
根据文章第二段可知matchmaker(媒人)赚钱的方式是“为别人介绍合适的结婚伴侣”,故matchmaking意思为“做媒”。
