If we believe that clothing has to do with covering the body, and costume with the choice of a particular form of garment for a particular use, then we can say that clothing depend primarily on such physical conditions as climate, health, and textile manufacture, whereas costume reflect social factors such as religious beliefs, aesthetics, personal status, and the wish to be distinguished from or to emulate our fellows.
The ancient Greeks and the Chinese believed that we first covered our bodies for some physical reason such as protecting ourselves from the weather elements. Ethnologists and psychologists have invoked psychological reasons: modesty in the case of ancients, and taboo, magical influence and the desire to please for the moderns.
In early history, costume must have fulfilled a function beyond that of simple utility, perhaps through some magical significance, investing primitive man with the attributes of other creatures. Ornaments identified the wearer with animals, gods, heroes or other men. This identification remains symbolic in more sophisticated societies. We should bear in mind that the theater has its distant origins in sacred performances, and in all period children at play have worn disguises, so as to adapt gradually to adult life.
Costume helped inspire fear or impose authority. For a chieftain, costume embodied attributes expressing his power, while a warrior’s costume enhanced his physical superiority and suggested he was superhuman. In more recent times, professional or administrative costume has been devised to distinguish the wearer and express personal or delegated authority; this purpose is seen clearly in the judge’s robes and the police officer’s uniform. Costume denotes power, and since power is usually equated with wealth, costume came to be an expression of social caste and material prosperity. Military uniform denotes rank and is intended to intimidate, to protect the body and to express membership in a group. At the bottom of the scale, there are such compulsory costumes as the convict’s uniform. Finally, costume can possess a religious significance that combines various elements: an actual or symbolic identification with a god, the desire to express this in earthly life, and the desire to enhance the wearer’s position of respect.
Question: Why does the author mention the police officer’s uniform?
A. To illustrate the aesthetic function of costume
B. To identify the wearer with a hero
C. To suggest that police are superhuman
D. To show how costume signifies authority

A South Korean TV drama series are among the most popular in the world. They come in a variety of
formats, including period pieces, crime shows, and romance. Millions of people in the East Asian region
watch them – online, on pirate DVDs, and on TV channels in their own countries. Outside Korea, the
countries with the biggest numbers of consumers of K-drama, as these TV shows are called, are China,
Taiwan, Indonesia, and Japan.
B One of the most popular of these series is Misaeng, which means Incomplete Life. The 20-episode
series has recently been climbing the ratings. It started at 1.6 percent and has risen to 5.15 percent. Every
Friday night, instead of going out with friends to celebrate the weekend, millions of office workers rush
home to watch Misaeng. People talk about K-dramas at work and on social media. If you haven’t been
watching, it’s easy to feel left out!
C The story of Misaeng is about Jang Geu-rae, an office worker in a large company. Jang used to be a
professional baduk player (baduk is a board game, a bit like chess, or Japanese Go), but he doesn’t have a
college degree, or impressive work experience, and cannot speak any foreign languages. But he works hard
and never gives up, and has been lucky to get a job in a company on a two-year contract.
D Misaeng is not the first K-drama to focus on office life, but it has become the most popular. It reflects
the reality of office life for many South Koreans, who struggle with short term contracts. These kind of office
workers are the main audience for Misaeng. They never know if they will be in the same company next year,
or even if they will have a job next year. They see themselves and their lives in the on-screen life of Jang
and his co-workers.
E Another very popular show, but very different, is the period piece Dae Jang Geum. This show is set
in the Joseon Dynasty (1392 to 1897) and it tells the story of a kitchen hand who becomes the first woman
doctor to the king in Korean history. The show gives accurate details of Korean cooking, traditional
medicine, costume, and other aspects of Korean history. The show has become the highest rated K-drama of
all time and is also hugely popular outside Korea. After the series, the number of Japanese and Taiwanese
