25、 order to leave more jobs for men, the idea has been rejected by both women and men in public opinion polls. Lately some union officials have suggested that too many women are employed in type of work more suitable for men and that woman should step aside to make way for unemployed young men. They a

26、rgue that women especially women in their childbearing years actually delay economic development and result in lower productivity, poor quality and inefficiency. To solve the problem, they have suggested that the working women stay at home while their husbands or brothers were given double wages. Th

27、ey argue that under these circumstances, families would retain their same level of income, and women could run the house and raise children much better. The suggestion has been rejected by 9 out of 10 people polled. A hundred persons in a big city were questioned last summer. Out of 50 women, 46 sai

28、d they were unwilling to leave their jobs, no matter what the situation was. The other 4 said they would like to return home if their jobs could be taken by their sons or daughters. Of 50 men polled, only 6 said they would like to see their wives give up their jobs, if it meant higher wages for them

29、selves. Some other people have suggested another way called “ phased employment theory“. The theory suggests that a woman worker take leave from her job when she is seven months pregnant and stay off the job until her baby reaches the age of 3. It suggests that women on leave receive 75 percent of t

30、heir normal salary and be allowed to return to work after the 3-year period. This will benefit children, women, their families and the society. Some of those polled, both women and men, felt the idea is a good one. It definitely seems to be more acceptable than the suggestion that women return to ho

31、me forever. 31 Some union officials have suggested that women should return home because_. （ A） all of them are employed in unsuitable types of work （ B） most skilled male workers are now unemployed （ C） their participation in work has a had influence on the economic development （ D） nowadays no one

33、ceive double wages （ D） their children should also leave their kindergartens 33 According to the passage, the suggestion that women should return to housework was_. （ A） opposed by most men and women （ B） welcomed by men only （ C） welcomed by women only （ D） welcomed by men and women 34 From the pas

34、sage we can see “phased employment“ means_. （ A） two or more women share the same job （ B） women stay at home on weekdays and go to work on weekends or holidays （ C） a woman should resign her job forever if she has a child （ D） women are allowed to take leave from their jobs during their childbearin

35、g years 35 According to the “phased employment“ theory, during a womans leave from her job_. （ A） her work should be done by her husband or brothers （ B） either her husband or her brothers will be given double wages （ C） her family can still keep the same level of income （ D） her familys income leve

36、l will be a little lower than it normally is 35 In the past, young people in Japan were expected to take on responsibilities to support their parents and grandparents. Now they expect to be supported well into young adulthood. The “new breed“ , born since the 1960s, have never known anything but ric

37、hness. Youth are seen as resistant to entering society as mature adults to becoming social citizens. Once the great objective of reconstruction after the Second World War was accomplished, a new generation lost the motivating power that had united the nation together. Japans birth rate has been fall

38、ing rapidly, partly because of the recession, and the job and financial insecurity that it has caused. In 1999, the figure was 1.38 children per woman, the lowest ever recorded. At the same time, youth crime, although still especially low by western standards, rose to its highest level since record-

39、keeping began 32 years ago. Likewise, the proportion of students dropping out before graduating, at 2.5% also very low by western standards, has nevertheless been rising. Entrepreneurial (企业家的 ) role models are few and far between. Bill Gates is often mentioned, but a foreign model can only have so

40、much influence. The problem is that Japanese culture discourages people from revealing details of personal life, including such ordeal (考验 ) as starting a company. In the past, successful companies such as Honda or Hitachi provided role models of a sort. But today they have been faded by the downtur

41、n, and few others have risen to take their place. By the same reason, young people often feel isolated from their fathers who worked too hard at their jobs to establish much of a relationship with their children. “The one thing theyre sure of is that they dont want to be like their fathers. And the

42、girls dont want to be with boys who are like their fathers, so the boys are sure not to be,“ says Professor Morishima. 36 According to the passage, former young people were expected to_. （ A） enter the society before adulthood （ B） hold together （ C） work hard and support their family （ D） study har

43、d and find a good job 37 The word “it“ (Line 2, Para. 2) most probably refers to_. （ A） economic depression （ B） job insecurity （ C） birth rate （ D） financial unsafety 38 The author takes the two examples of the youth crime and students dropping-out before graduating to show_. （ A） the youth are ove

44、rburdened （ B） the educational system in Japan is not satisfying （ C） public security and order in Japan is bad （ D） the ethnical level of youth in Japan is descending 39 Today, entrepreneurial models are rarely found in Japan because_. （ A） the discouragement of Japanese culture （ B） the worshippin

45、g of western models （ C） the lack of experience of starting a company （ D） the “new breed“ dont want to work hard 40 The passage mainly discuss_. （ A） the decline of the Japanese economy （ B） the great change of the ethnical and value concept of youth in Japan （ C） the existence of generation gap be

46、tween youth and their parents （ D） the increase of birth rate 40 A rapid means of long-distance transportation became a necessity for the United States as settlement (新拓居地 ) spread ever farther westward. The early trains were impractical curiosities, and for a long time the railroad companies met wi

47、th troublesome mechanical problems. The most serious ones were the construction of rails able to bear the load, and the development of a safe, effective stopping system. Once these were solved, the railroad was established as the best means of land transportation. By 1860 there were thousands of mil

48、es of railroads crossing the eastern mountain ranges and reaching westward to the Mississippi. There were also regional southern and western lines. The high point in railroad building came with the construction of the first transcontinental system. In 1862 Congress authorized two western railroad co

49、mpanies to build lines from Nebraska westward and from California eastward to a meeting point, so as to complete a transcontinental crossing linking the Atlantic seaboard with the Pacific. The Government helped the railroads generously with money and land. Actual work on this project began four years later. The Central Pacific Company, starting from California, used Chinese labor,
