Teenagers across the world eagerly await the day they become legal adults, to be free from the dependence
of their parents and to practice the full rights of their citizenship. The situation is no different in South Korea. Here,
the legal age of adulthood is 19. Ten years ago, the legal age was 20, but this was lowered by a year in 2013 based
on recognition of the early maturity of modern teenagers. Now, from their 19th birthday onwards, South Korean
teenagers can vote, get married and work full-time.
Unlike most other countries, the South Korean government celebrates this transformation into adulthoodwith an official “Coming-of-Age Day”, which falls on every third Monday of May. Its first written record of
celebrating adulthood dates back to the Goryeo Dynasty, where King Gwangjong gifted Prince Wang Juan outfit
(服装) reserved for male adults in 965.
By the late Joseon Dynasty, the ceremony marking adulthood developed into a full-grown event for the
middle and upper classes, celebrated by their 15-year-olds. In this period, one of the most symbolic changes that
adults-to-be went through was that boys would tie their long flowing (飘逸的) hair into a topknot (结) and cover it
with at all black hat made of horsehair; likewise, girls put their hair, which they let fall as single braids (辫子) in
youth, up into a knot and set it with a long hairpin (发簪).
Today, the traditional coming-of-age ceremonies still live on, supported largely by government and public
interests. But a set of very different customs has also been added. Unless they apply to participate in publicly-held
ceremonies or attend schools that provide these series, 19-year-olds celebrate the third Monday of May the modern
way, by having a nice meal with family or drinking with their friends.
51．What led to the legal age of adulthood being lowered by a year in South Korea?
A．The realization of youth’s earlier maturity.
B．The plan to reduce economic pressure on families.
C．The determination to satisfy teenagers’ expectations.
D．The requirement for youth’s earlier practice of voting rights.
52．Who received South Korea’s first recorded coming-of-age celebration according to the text?
A．Prince Wang Juan in the Goryeo Dynasty.
B．King Gwangjong in the Goryeo Dynasty.
C．An upper-class 15-year-old in the Joseon Dynasty.
D．A middle-class 15-year-old in the Joseon Dynasty.
53．What marked the important change in celebrating adulthood during the Joseon Dynasty?
A．A new type of hairstyle. B．A specific birthday outfit.
C．Making one’s own hat with horsehair. D．Replacing short hairpins with long ones.
54．What does the last paragraph suggest?
A．Publicly-held ceremonies require group application.
B．Traditional ceremonies should be more widely practiced.
C．Teenagers nowadays prefer to celebrate adulthood at home.
D．Society has seen a wider range of adulthood celebrations.
