     As women in the rich Asian country have become better educated, with five times as many now
getting advanced degrees as in 1995, they have also become choosier and are less likely to settle for
the role of gentle wife traditionally expected of Korean women.
     "I heard if you are a female with master's degree, it is much harder to arrange a meeting than if you
have a bachelor's degree because of an unfavorable concept 'too smart women' here," said King, a
college senior in Seoul.
     The age at which Korean women are getting hitched has risen by an average 4. 1 years over the
past 20 years to 28. 9 years, according to Statistics Korea, and that has created worried mothers
getting things rolling for their daughters.
     "My daughter is in her early 30's, an age considered late for marriage here", said a woman who
took her daughter to a match-making agency in Seoul.
     "If she does not find her match this year, it will be much more difficult to marry in the coming years.
So I went to the firm with her and made her join. "
     At DUO, a matchmaking firm, its 26, 000 members can choose between five different membership
programs with fees from 1. 08 million won( 韓元)($971) to 8. 8 million won.
     To attract more customers, the site displays the average annual income of its male and female
customers, as well as their professional standing.
     "In a privately set-up blind date, you cannot be entirely sure of how much of personal information
given to you is accurate," said DUO spokesman Yon Jun.
     Critics say the industry focuses more on income and status. Some of them have coined the phrase
"employage" to sum up employment and marriage.
     "If your father works in the financial industry or is a high-ranking administrator, maybe you will find
your match with similar backgrounds through a matchmaking firm, starting a perfect marriage on the
back of parental support," said comedian Quan.
1. The underlined word "hitched" in Paragraph 3 probably means ______.

C. educated      
D. worried
2. What leads to the embarrassing state for Korean women in matchmaking is that           .

     As a young boy, I lived in a poor suburban neighborhood. I often wandered around the
neighborhood alone, and offered to help mow a lawn or wash some walls in exchange for
some pocket money just to buy something I needed, such as some school clothes or candy.
     One day, I knocked at an old woman's door and asked if she needed her walls washed.
She asked why I wasn't in school and I showed her my pants and shoes, which were torn
and no longer keeping my feet warm. She allowed me to work in the yard for pretty much
that entire day. When I was finished, I knocked on her door and she looked at me. "I
suppose you want to be paid now," she said.
     "Yes, ma'am, I do."
     She asked what my fee was. I hadn't thought about this and made no answer. She said,
"Well, come inside," and then she came in and pulled out a big jar which was filled with
dollar bills. She said, "Though you've done a fine job today, that isn't something you should
be doing again. I want you to buy some pants and new shoes and get back in school. I
also want you to come back and visit me with your report card and I'll reward you when
I see your good marks. Now reach in with your hands and take out as much as possible."
     I reached in and grabbed lots of money, which was enough for me to buy those I
needed. I returned several times to see the woman and yes, she did just as she promised.
She looked at my report card and gave me a handful of dollars and a sandwich every time
I showed her I had an "A" or "B"．
     I'll never forget the huge difference this wonderful stranger made over my life with her
generosity and kindness; this is something I hope to do myself in my life.
