Reading Comprehension
1. Blind date, a comeback in modern Chinese life. In ancient China most of people got married with the help of a matchmaker and the arrangements of their parents. The man's side, led by the matchmaker, would visit the girl's family to confirm each other's stance. The step is called blind date. Nowadays, there are millions of single people in big cities like Shanghai and Beijing, so the traditional practice of blind date has made a comeback in modern Chinese life. A price list for Chinese blind dates that has been widely circulated on the net has triggered heated discussion with users dubbing the list a "chain of scorn in marriage". The list is a common guideline for parents who go to "blind date parks" in Beijing looking for matches for their single children. The parks display profiles about single men and women detailing their household registration, income, property, education and other hard constraints. A ranking system has evolved to divide singles as top, high class, standard, low, simple and no consideration. To be grouped in the top echelon, a man should be worth at least 5.6 million yuan, have a Beijing registered residence, own a house in Beijing’s key regions, own a good car and earn more than 50,000 yuan a month, have a master's or doctorate, or have studied abroad.
