Oversize cupids in pink, furry outfits hand out heart-shaped balloons with "I Do" written on them(in English)at a wedding-themed trade fair in Beijing. Vendors offer romantic photo-shoots of couples under water, personalised wedding cigarettes, and biscuits with names. An emphasis on love is a new addition to Chinese weddings—and shines a pink-filtered spotlight on social change.
For centuries, marriage in China was about ensuring heirs for the groom’ s family. Both the groom’ s and the bride’ s family exchanged money or goods. The more money changed hands, the more
opulent
the wedding.
In 1949, frugality was imposed. Dowries consisted of necessities like bed linen or a bicycle. But since the 1980s the extravagance of weddings has matched the country’s rise. Celebrations moved out of homes into hotels. Brides swapped traditional red dresses for white ones.
A large industry has emerged to serve the 13 million couples who marry each year. Wedding planners are increasingly common, particularly in cities. A decade ago Cosmo Bride, an American-owned lifestyle magazine, launched a Chinese-language edition in China. An average wedding cost $12,000 in 2011—the equivalent of more than two years’ income for the average urban household. An increase in the average marriage age by 2.5 years since 1990 has given parents(who still usually pay for weddings, despite the earning power of their children)more time to save up.
The change in wedding also reflects a fundamental shift in society. For the first time in the history of Chinese family life, the child—rather than ancestors or parents—is regarded as the centre of the family, says Yan Yunxiang of the University of California, Los Angeles. Most newly-weds now are single children, bora since the one-child policy was introduced more than 30 years ago. Parents have more to spend if they only have to afford one wedding.
William Jankowiak of the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, who has documented relationships in China for 30 years, says love plays a larger part in young people’s lives—both in choice of partner and in their relationships with parents. The result is evident in weddings, which now focus on the couple. Both sets of parents are represented, but their position is peripheral. Weddings often feature a day of wedding photos, shot before the event, with the couple in a range of outfits against romantic backgrounds, but with no family members.
The last sentence "Weddings often ... no family members" implies that couples______.
选项
A、are the focus of the wedding
B、don’ t welcome family members’ arrival
C、seldom express their love to parents
D、aren’ t accompanied by family members when taking wedding photos
答案
A
解析
根据题干关键词定位到文章末句。该句句意为“婚礼现场当天通常饰以此前拍摄的婚纱照。在浪漫的背景下,夫妻穿上一系列服装拍摄婚纱照,但没有家庭成员参与其中”,它是对前面内容的具体说明,前面两句表明“……现在的婚礼专注于夫妻二人,双方父母都出席,但他们只是陪衬”,所以新婚夫妇是婚礼的中心,A项为正确答案。B项“(夫妻)不欢迎家庭成员到场”,C项“(夫妻)很少向双方父母表达他们的爱”,D项“(夫妻)在拍婚纱照的时候没有家庭成员的陪伴”都属于过度推断。
