Much to the excitement of fans, South Korean boy band Dong Bang Shin Ki released their new album Mirotic on September, 2008.
The title of the leading song Mirotic comes from the Korean word “miro” which means “maze”（迷宫） and the English suffix “tic”．“It is meant to describe the kind of feeling one has when he falls in love with someone at first sight,” said member U-Know．“It’s like being trapped in a maze.”
It is reported that the album has sold 90,000 copies two days after its release．It has risen to No．1 on the weekly chart in South Korea.
While you enjoy the catchy song, don’t miss the band’s trademark dancing moves．This time Dong Bang Shin Ki worked with famous dance choreographer （舞蹈编排）Kenny Wormald, who once cooperated with American pop stars including Justin Timberlake and Christina Aguilera.
The band began working on the new record in early 2007 and didn’t finish until June this year．“We have devoted ourselves to the producing work．We see the album as an opportunity to show our fans that we have made progress on a daily basis,” said member Xiah．“We won’t let them down.”
It is this determined attitude that keeps the band going in the highly competitive entertainment world．The band never sets limits to their music styles．Since their first appearance on the stage in 2003, they have tried pop, R&B and ballads （民歌）．After winning the hearts of thousands of teenagers across Asia, they haven’t slowed down．This year, Dong Bang Shin Ki has starred in two TV dramas Dating on Earth and Heaven’s Postal Delivery Man．The boys are sure to ride the wave of South Korean pop culture.

It is not often realized that women held a high place in southern European societies in the 10 th and 11 th centuries. As wife, the woman was protected by the setting up of a dowry (嫁妆) or decimum. Admittedly, the purpose of this was to protect her against the risk of desertion (遗弃)，but in reality its function in the social and family life of the time was much more important. The decimum was the wife’s right to receive a tenth of all her husband’s property. The wife had the right to withhold consent, in all transactions the husband would make, And more than just a right: the documents showed that she enjoyed a real power of decision, equal to that of her husband. In no case did the documents indicate any degree of difference in the legal status of husband and wife.
The wife shared in the management of her husband’s personal property, but the opposite was not always true. Women seemed perfectly prepared to defend their own inheritance(遗产，继承物)against husbands who tried to exceed their rights, and on occasion they showed a fine fighting spirit. A case in point is that of Maria, Vivas, a Catalan woman of Barcelona. Having agreed with her husband Miro to sell a field she had inherited, for the needs of the household, she insisted on compensation. None being offered, she succeeded in dragging her husband to the scribe to have a contract duly drawn up assigning her a piece of land from Miro’s personal inheritance. The unfortunate husband was obliged to agree, as the contract says, “for the sake of peace.” Either through the dowry or through being hot-tempered, the Catalan wife knew how to win herself, within the context of the family, a powerful economic position.
A decimum was .
A. the wife’s inheritance from her father
B. a gift of money to the new husband
C. a written contract
D. the wife’s right to receive one-tenth of her husband’s property
In the society described in the passage, the legal standing of the wife in marriage was .
A. higher than that of her husband B. lower than that of her husband
C. the same as that of her husband D. higher than that of a single woman
What compensation did Maria Vivas get for the field?
A. Some of the land Miro had inherited. B. A tenth of Miro’s land.
C. Money for household expenses. D. Money from Miro’s inheritance.
Which of the following is Not mentioned as an effect of the dowry system?
A. The husband had to share the power of decision in marriage.
B. The wife was protested from desertion.
C. The wife gained a powerful economic position.
D. The husband was given control over his wife’s property.
