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______.
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
A.The Korean War.
B.The Word War Ⅱ.
C.The Vietnam War.
D.The Gulf War.

That kind of questioning grew more insistent on January 20, when police found the body of a 30-year-old Korean woman, Kang Un-gyong, in the apartment she shared with her American boyfriend. An autopsy showed Kang, who had bruises over most of her face and chest, died after being hit on the back of her head with a blunt object. Her boyfriend, Henry Kevin McKinley, 36, an electrician at the United States military base in Seoul, admitted beating her. McKinley said he pushed Kang, who then struck her head on a radiator, but denied that he tried to murder her.
On January 21 McKinley was arrested on charges similar to involuntary manslaughter under Korean law. As a civilian employee of the U. S. military in Korea, he comes under the purview of the Status-of-Forces Agreement between Washington and Seoul. This grants the South Korean government criminal jurisdiction—but not pre-trial custody—over members of American forces in Korea. Because of the gravity of the charges against McKinley, however, the Americans waived their rights to keep him in their custody before trial.
The Kang case was only the latest in a series of crimes involving members of U. S. forces and Koreans. Just a few days earlier, a U. S. army sergeant was sentenced to six months in jail for assaulting a local in a subway brawl last May—even though some reports said it was a Korean who instigated the fray. The murder also followed two separate incidents in which American soldiers were indicted on charges of attempted rape.
With the spotlight already on the behaviour of American servicemen abroad because of the rape of a 12-year-old girl in Okinawa, allegedly by a group of U. S. soldiers, the Kang murder burst the lid on many Koreans' resentment of the presence of 37,000 American troops in their midst. Official relations between Seoul and Washington remain on an even keel, and most Koreans don't blame the entire U. S. military for the crimes of individual servicemen. But the incidents have played into the hands of those who are questioning the very basis of the American presence in South Korea.
Some observers believe the seeds of Koreans' estrangement from the U. S. military were first sown in 1980, when troops under the control of former President Chun Doo Hwan massacred some 200 pro-democracy protesters in the southern city of Kwangju. Many left-wing students—usually at the forefront of anti-government protests—still insist that the U. S. military command acquiesced in the crackdown.
But public alienation against U. S. troops really took off after the brutal 1992 murder of a Korean prostitute by an American soldier. Pictures taken at the time—not released publicly but seen by the REVIEW—showed the dead woman's mouth stuffed with matches and a bottle stuck in her vagina. The man convicted of the murder, Pvt. Kenneth Markle of the U. S. army's 2nd Division, received a life sentence, later reduced to 15 years.
Cultural misunderstandings haven't helped matters any. Many Koreans believe all GIs are racist young men with little education from rural areas of the U.S. "I've been hit and called names by Koreans, but I didn't respond," says a soldier at Camp Hmnphreys in Pyongtaek. He says the U. S. forces' command "drills it into your head every day: don't fight with a Korean. You can't win. "
Other factors are also at play, not least the swelling self-confidence of the younger generation of South Koreans, bolstered by their
A.the massacre of 200 pro-democracy protesters
B.many tragic outcomes of U. S. Korean cross-country marriage
C.sexual assaults on Korean prostitutes
D.American servicemen's behaviour in South Korea
A.foreign bond
B.global bond
C.eurobond
D.空
In 2009 some 43% of Japan's population watched TV on mobile phones. It is the only country apart from South Korea where the platform. has become commonplace. But mobile television in Japan is not all that mobile.When broadcasts began in 2005, people were expected to use their toys to while away long commute by train or to kill time while waiting for the bus. ① Instead they mostly choose to play with them at home.
Imagine a teenage girl who wants to watch an episode of her favourite soap opera. The living-room television is being monopolised by her father, who is watching sport. Her brother is using the computer. What does she do? If she is an American, living in a reasonably affluent household, she simply switches on another television.There is probably one in her bedroom. If she is South Korean or Japanese, on the other hand, she is more likely to live in a high-rise fiat with only one set. She settles down in her tiny bedroom, pulls a mobile phone out of her pocket and turns it on. The screen is small but adequate.
When asked why people watch mobile television in their homes, Japanese and South Korean media executives tend to make the same gesture. They clutch their mobile phone to their chests, signifying “mine”.The appeal of mobile television is not so much that it is portable but that it is personal.When it proves impossible to reach agreement with other television-watchers in a household, mobile TV is a reasonable fall-backo ption.② It is also a dismal business.
In both Japan and South Korea practically everybody gets their mobile television free. The service was supposed to be supported by advertising, but the prop is weak. Although many Japanese and South Koreans watch television on their phones, they tend to do so briefly and erratically, so programmes often attract small audiences. ③ If mobile TV is not used enough to make money from advertising, it is also not essential enough to persuade lots of people to pay.
Even before it catches on elsewhere, mobile television is failing in the two countries where it seemed most likely to succeed. The experience of Japan and South Korea suggests that people will watch TV on tiny screens if they have to. But those countries also provide a reminder that popularity does not always translate into business success. Old-fashioned TV wins again.
