27、ponding space in your ANSWER BOOKLET. 40 If Japans economy has been pulled steadily out of the slough into which it had fallen for more than a decade, Japans corporate sector has been doing almost all the pulling. Ever since the recovery that began tentatively in 2003 started to look solid, economis

28、ts have predicted that households would soon take over the running, by starting to spend again after years of deflation and tightened belts. Yet every prediction of a consumption boom has proved premature, causing some to question the sustainability of the recovery as a whole. In February deflation,

29、 which last year had been declared vanquished, even made an unwelcome return. The corporate recovery, at least, has been remarkable. Companies have repaid huge amounts of debt incurred during the 1980s and 1990s. Demand for Japanese goods from overseas, notably China, gave the initial boost to compa

30、ny profits, which have grown for four consecutive years to record levels. Companies have ploughed back much of the cash they have earned into investment to replace neglected capital stock, from factory machines to computers to buildings. The latest quarterly Tankan survey of business prospects carri

31、ed out by the central bank, the Bank of Japan, suggests that the recovery in capital expenditure is now spreading from big manufacturing companies to smaller ones, and from manufacturing into services. But sooner or later Japanese companies will have finished most of their upgrading, and worries abo

32、ut the American economy are growing among Japanese exporters, led by carmakers. The government also wants to cut its huge fiscal deficits: wise, perhaps, but this will dampen overall demand. All reasons to hope households will spend more. The oddity is that they have not so far, at a time when compa

33、nies have been eager hirers: unemployment has fallen to just 4%. The scramble among companies for the new graduates who began work this month made a stark contrast with the fate of unemployed graduates a few years ago. But flat consumption is explained by stagnant wagesindeed, in January and Februar

34、y total cash wages per worker actually fell by 1.1% compared with a year earlier. Globalisation, combined with technological change, exerts downward pressure on wages. But other explanations are plausible. Jobs are shifting from manufacturing to lower-paid services. And younger workers, replacing a

35、huge cohort of baby-boomers due to retire over the next three or four years, cannot command the salaries of their well-paid, portlier elders. But wagesand hence consumptionmust now be likely to grow. A further fall in the unemployment rate would bring it closer to the point where wage pressures acce

36、lerate. Goldman Sachs, an investment bank, puts that critical point at unemployment of 2.5-3.5%, a range it expects to be reached towards the end of the year. Many newly hired workers were people who earlier this decade gave up hope of finding a job and who cannot afford to be too fussy now. But thi

37、s return of “discouraged“ workers may nearly have run its course. What is more, companies have since 2005 once again been hiring more permanent workers than those on part-time contracts. Permanent workers get paid more. For instance, they are eligible for annual bonuses, which typically account for

38、one-fifth of income. Bonuses are on the rise. Moreover, thanks to those baby-boomers, retirement payments by companies, including traditional lump sums to the newly retired, are set to jumpfrom around￥ 10 trillion ($84 billion) last year to￥ 13.5 trillion in the fiscal year that began this month. Go

39、ldman Sachs guesses that will boost consumption by 0.3 percentage points a year. Camera shops, sellers of weekend fishing-boats and even restaurants report brisk business. Baby-boomers want to enjoy their coming leisure. As for the return of deflation, there may be little cause for alarm. Prices fel

40、l in February by 0.1% compared with a year earlier, when measured by “core“ consumer prices that include energy but exclude fresh food. But the fall was chiefly thanks to a drop in the price of oil-related goods and mobile-phone costshardly unwelcome trends to consumers. Besides, the official inflat

41、ion measure is skewed downward by an unrepresentative calculation of housing costs. Elsewhere, price increases are spreading through service industries as demand slowly grows. Japans newly confident consumers may at last be about to make their presence felt. 41 Which of the following statements is t

42、rue according to the passage? （ A） There is no doubt that household consumption will take the place of private sector in pulling Japanese economy. （ B） It was private sector that pulled Japanese economy out of the slump. （ C） Experts claimed that these was serious deflation last year but has been te

43、rminated. （ D） There will not be serious economic setback this year thanks to household consumption and government buying. 42 Why are wages still low despite economic recovery? （ A） Globalisation and technological changes set Japanese economic recovery back severely. （ B） In the first two months thi

44、s year, total cash wages per worker actually fell by 1.1% compared with a year earlier. （ C） People are switching jobs too frequently. （ D） Younger people entering into new industries where they cant get good salaries. 43 What does “fussy“(Para. 5) mean? （ A） Worrying. （ B） Depressed. （ C） Confident

45、. （ D） Impressive. 44 Which of the following is NOT a reason why the author believes wages will rise? （ A） Unemployment rate is about to rebound. （ B） Retired workers will receive a higher pension, which is expected to pull up consumption. （ C） People are more likely to be hired permanently, which m

46、eans they will get more revenue. （ D） Inflation will continue, which means people will save more than invest. 45 What is implied, but not directly stated in the last sentence? （ A） Japans consumers will spend more and exert positive influence. （ B） A lot of factors exert influence on national consum

47、ptions and will lead to new economy boom. （ C） Japanese consumers used to hide themselves and be frugal. （ D） Japanese consumers will make a fortune in the coming decade. 45 Labour is often accused of rushing through ill-considered laws whenever its appearance of competence is cracking. The mental-h

48、ealth bill, which came back to the House of Commons from the Lords this week, hardly fits this pattern. Discussions about a new law began nine years ago, not long after Michael Stone, who suffered from a personality disorder, killed a mother and her daughter with a hammer while they were walking dow

49、n a lane in Kent. Since then the bill has been introduced, thrown out, brought back, re-worded and tinkered with. And yet it still sets the Mental Health Alliance, which represents 80 organisations that think the bill represents a sinister grab at civil liberties, against the government, which says that those who oppose it are guaranteeing a “right to suicide“ by allowing patients of precarious stability to go untreated. Two questions are at the root of the conflic
