17、member the last time he had tenderly stroked my cheek, tousled my hair or used a term of endearment when calling my name. His diabetes had given him a short temper and he screamed a lot. I was envious when I saw other fathers plant gentle kisses on their daughters foreheads or impulsively give them
18、a big bear hug. I knew that he loved me and that his love was deep. He just didnt know how to express it.It was hard to say “I love you to someone who didnt say it back. After so many disappointing times when I would flinch from his sharp rebuff I began to withdraw my own warm displays of affection.
19、 I stopped reaching out or hugging or kissing him. At first this act of self-restraint was conscious. Later it would become automatic, and finally it was ingrained. The love between us ran strong but silent.One rare evening out, when my mother had successfully coaxed my usually asocial father to joi
20、n us for a night in the town, we were sitting in an elegant restaurant that boasted a small but lively band. When it struck up a familiar waltz tune, I glanced at my father. He suddenly appeared small and shrunken to me not powerful and intimidating as I had always perceived him.All the old hurts we
21、lled up inside but I decided to dare one last time.“Dad, You know Ive never ever danced with you. Even when I was a little girl, I begged you, but you never wanted to! How about right now? “ I waited for the usual brusque reply that would once again slice my heart into ribbons. But instead he consid
22、ered me thoughtfully and then a surprising twinkle appeared in his eye.“ I have been remiss in my duties as a father then.“ he uncharacteristically joked. “Lets hit the floor and Ill show you just what kind of moves an old geezer like me still can make!“My father took me in his arms. Since earliest
23、childhood I hadnt been enfolded in his embrace. I felt overcome by emotion.As we danced, I looked up at my father intently but he avoided my gaze. His eyes swept the dance floor, the other diners and the members of the band. His scrutiny took in everyone and everything but me. I felt that he must al
24、ready be regretting his decision to join me for a dance; he seemed uncomfortable being physically close to me.“Dad,“ I finally whispered tears in my eyes. “Why is it so hard for you to look at me?“ At last his eyes dropped to my face and he studied me intently. “Because I love you so much“, he whisp
25、ered back. “Because I love you. “ I was struck dumb by his response. It wasnt what I had anticipated. But it was of course exactly what I needed to hear. His own eyes were misty and he was blinking.I had always known that he loved me, I just hadnt understood that his vast emotion had frightened him
26、and made him mute. His taciturn manner hid the deep emotions flowing inside. “I love you too, Dad“ I whispered back softly. He stumbled over the next few words“ I . Im sorry that Im not demonstrative.“ Then he said “Ive realized that I dont show what I feel. My parents never hugged or kissed me and
27、I guess I learned how not to from them. Its. its, hard for me. Im probably too old to change my ways now but just know how much I love you.“ “Okay“ I smiled.When the dance ended, I brought Dad back to Mom waiting at the table and excused myself to the ladies room. I was gone just a few minutes but d
28、uring my absence everything changed.There were screams and shouts and scrapings of chairs as I made my way back across the room. I wondered what the commotion was all about. As I approached the table I saw it was all about Dad. He was slumped in his chair ashen gray. A doctor in the restaurant rushe
29、d over to handle the emergency and an ambulance was called but it was really all too late. He was gone. Instantly they said.What had suddenly made me after so many years of steeling myself against his constant rejection ask him to dance? What had made him accept? Where had those impulses come from?
30、And why now?In the restaurant that night all I saw was his slumped body and ashen face surrounded by solemn diners and grim faced paramedics. But its a totally different scene that I remember now. I remember our waltz on the dance floor and his sudden urgent confession to me. I remember him saying “
31、I love you“ and my saying it back.And as I remember this scene somehow incongruously the words of an old Donna Summer song tap out a refrain in my mind: Last dance, last chancefor loveIt was indeed the first, last and only dance that I ever had with my father. What a blessing that we had the chance

36、ustomer for Japans car makers. Hes a young (34) , successful executive at an internet-services company in Tokyo and has plenty of disposable income. He used to own Toyotas Hilux Surf, a sport utility vehicle. But now he uses mostly subways and trains. “Its not inconvenient at all,“ he says. Besides,
37、 “having a car is so 20th century. “ Suda reflects a worrisome trend in Japan; the automobile is losing its emotional appeal, particularly among the young, who prefer to spend their money on the latest electronic gadgets. While minicars and luxury foreign brands are still popular, everything in betw
38、een is slipping. Last year sales fell 6.7 percent7.6 percent if you dont count the minicar market. There have been larger one-year drops in other nations: sales in Germany fell 9 percent in 2007 thanks to a tax hike. But analysts say Japan is unique in that sales have been eroding steadily over time
39、. Since 1990, yearly new-car sales have fallen from 7.8 million to 5.4 million units in 2007. Alarmed by this state of decay, the Japan Automobile Manufacturers Association launched a comprehensive study of the market in 2006. It found a widening wealth gap, demographic changesfewer households with
40、children, a growing urban populationand general lack of interest in cars led Japanese to hold their vehieles longer, replace their cars with smaller ones or give up car ownership altogether. “Japans automobile society stands at a crossroads,“ says Ryuichi Kitamura, a transport expert and professor a
41、t Kyoto University. He says he does not expect the trend to be reversed, as studies show that the younger Japanese consumers are, the less interested they are in having a car. JAMA predicts a further sales decline of 1.2 percent in 2008. Some analysts believe that if the trend continues for much lon
42、ger, further consolidation in the automotive sector (already under competitive pressure) is likely. Japanese demographics have something to do with the problem. The countrys urban population has grown by nearly 20 percent since 1990, and most city dwellers use mass transit (the countrys system is on
43、e of the best developed in the world) on a daily basis, making it less essential to own a car. Experts say Europe, where the car market is also quite mature, may“ be in for a similar shift. But in Japan, the “demotorization“process, or kuruma banare, is also driven by cost factors. Owning and drivin
44、g a car can cost up to $500 per month in Japan, including parking fees, car insurance, toll roads and various taxes. Taxes on a $17, 000 ear in Japan are 4.1 times higher than in the United States, 1.7 times higher than in Germany and 1.25 times higher than in the U. K. , according to JAMA. “Automob
45、iles used to represent a symbol of our status, a Western, modern lifestyle that we aspired for,“ says Kitamura. For todays young people, he argues, “such thinking is completely gone. “ Cars are increasingly just a mobile utility; the real consumer time and effort goes into picking the coolest mobile
46、 phones and personal computers, not the hippest hatchback. The rental-car industry has grown by more than 30 percent in the past eight years, as urbanites book weekend wheels over the Internet. Meanwhile, government surveys show that spending on cars per household per year fell by 14 percent, to $60
47、0, between 2000 and 2005, while spending on Net and mobile-phone subscriptions rose by 39 percent, to $1,500, during the same period. For Japanese car companies, the implications are enormous. “Japan is the worlds second largest market, with a 17 to 18 percent share of our global sales. Its importan
48、t,“ says Takao Katagiri, corporate vice president at Nissan Motor Co. The domestic market is where Japanese carmakers develop technology and build their know-how, and if it falters, it could gut an industry that employs 7.8 percent of the Japanese work force. While surging exports, particularly to emerging markets, have more than offset the decline in domestic sales so far, companies are looking for ways to turn the tide. Nissan, for example, is trying to appeal to the digital
