问题     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.  
Why does the matchmaking still exist in Korea?
选项 A、Because most people want to keep the bloodlines pure and chance encounters romantic.
B、Because most people try to avoid romance and keep the bloodlines pure.
C、Because most people regard marriage as continuing family lineage and romance.
D、Because most people try to break family lineage and bloodlines.
答案B
解析 文章第四段说“传宗接代、维系家族血统纯正往往极为重要，不能由浪漫和偶遇支配”，由媒人介绍的相亲可以避免浪漫，而维系家族血统，正是这一原因导致这一古老方式能在韩国继续存在。
