Lifetime Employment in Japanese Companies
In most large Japanese companies,there is a policy of lifetime employment.What this means is that when people leave school or university to join an enterprise,they can expect to remain with that organization until they retire.In effect,the employee gets job security for life,and can only be fired for serious mistakes in work.Even in times of business recession,he or she is free from the fear of being laid off.
One result of this practice is that the Japanese worker identifies closely with his company and feels strong loyalty to it.By working hard for the company,he believes he is safeguarding his own future.It is not surprising that devotion to one's company is considered a great virtue in Japan.A man is often prepared to put his firm's interests before those of his immediate family.
The job security guaranteed by this system influences the way employees approach their work.They tend to think in terms of what they can achieve throughout their career.This is because they are not judged on how they are performing during a short period of time.They can afford to take a longer perspective than their western counterparts.
This marriage between the employee and the company-the consequence of lifetime employment-may explain why Japanese workers seem positively to love the products their company is producing and why they are willing to stay on after work,for little overtime pay,to participate in earnest discussions about the quality control of their products.

参考解析
解析：由第一段第三句“In effect , the employee gets job security for life , and can only be fired forserious mistakes in work.”可知，员工如果在工作中犯严重错误，就会被辞退，可见日本的终身雇佣制并非意味着员工可以在工作中犯严重错误。
根据第二段第四句可知，日本员工时刻准备着把公司的利益放在他的直系亲属的利益的前面。由此可知，日本员工把公司利益看得比家庭利益重要。
根据第二段第二句“By working hard for the company , he believes he is safeguarding hisown future.”可知，日本员工通过努力工作来保证他自己能够有个好未来。
根据第三段第一、四句可知，终身雇佣制会影响员工的职业选择，与西方国家的员工相比，他们在选择职业方面的目光更长远。
根据第四段可知，终身雇佣制使日本员工与公司关系亲密，这也使他们比较喜爱自己公司的产品。
本篇文章只在第四段提到了日本公司的产品，指出日本员工比较喜爱他们公司的产品，并在结尾处讲到，尽管加班费不多，日本员工也常常加班讨论产品质量的控制，可没有提到他们的产品是否物美价廉。
本篇文章主要介绍了日本的终身雇佣制以及终身雇佣制对员工的影响，而非对终身雇佣制的评价。

The opportunity to study abroad should be something that sounds very exciting. For most students, going abroad is a life-changing experience. There are benefits for the host country as well. Not only do foreign students spend money on tuition, housing, food and clothing, but they also often take home positive impressions of their stay and the people they met.But Japan, which hosts over 100,000 foreign students a year, is having trouble making the most of its foreign students. “I’ve been here for three years,” says a 26-year-old Chinese student in Osaka. “I don’t have any Japanese friends, I’ve never been invited to a Japanese home, and I’ve never felt very welcome here.”That’s hardly the kind of impression that the Japanese government wants foreign students taking home to their families and classmates, but it seems to be a widespread sentiment(情感). One newspaper complained that, “If foreign students tell everyone how they hate this country when they go home, we should ask for what purpose we are hosting them to begin with.”Many of the students arrive with hopes to learn Japanese and stay on for a few years working for a Japanese company. However, that doesn’t always work out. Many foreign students graduate from a Japanese university only to discover that “Japanese companies don’t hire foreigners because they think they cannot trust non-Japanese people,” says one job-seeker from the Philippines.This is a problem for universities. With the Japanese birth rate one of the lowest in the world, Japanese schools are turning to foreign students to fill their classrooms.The government has actively tried to increase the number of foreign students, up from fewer than 10,000 only 20 years ago. But, as one student in Tokyo says, “Japan’s policy is one of persuading people to come and then dissuading them from staying.”1). According to the author, studying abroad ________.A. does good to most foreign students and the host countryB. ensures a chance to get promotedC. has a great effect on most foreign studentsD. both A and C2). How is life in Japan in the eyes of most foreign students?A. Helpful and meaningful.B. Busy yet attractive.C. Boring and disappointing.D. Tiring yet rewarding.3). The word “dissuading” in the last paragraph probably means ________ .A. discouragingB. encouragingC. advisingD. informing4). Which of the following is NOT true?A. Japan is one of the countries with the lowest birth rate worldwide.B. The present situation in Japan lies in the slow action by the government.C. It is almost impossible for foreign graduates to work in Japanese companies.D. learning Japanese and having work experience are the hopes of many arrivals.5). A suitable title for this passage might be ________.A. Poor Reception in JapanB. Japanese Foreign PoliciesC. Japanese Shifting PopulationD. Successful Careers in Japan

第二篇Sino-Japan Animosity（敌意）LessensChinese and Japanese people view each other slightly more positively than last year,according to a survey released on Wednesday at a press conference in Beijing.The survey is jointly sponsored by China Daily and Genron NPO（非营利性的组织）,a Japanese think tank similar to the American Council on Foreign Relations.It also found an overwhelming agreement in both countries that Sino-Japanese relations were important.The survey is a part of the Beijing-Tokyo Forum,an annual gathering of senior government officials and representatives from Chinese and Japanese NGOs（非政府组织）designed to improve communication and understanding between the Iwo countries.Conducted every year for five years now,the survey focused on two different groups of people:ordinary citizens,and intellectuals.In China,the intellectual group was comprised mainly of university students from well-known schools like Peking University.In Japan,the intellectual group was mainly made up of previous members of Genron NPO.Among ordinary Chinese polled,35.7 percent said they have"very good"or"relatively good" impressions of Japan,a 5.5-percentage-point increase compared with last year. 45.2 percent of Chinese students had a positive impression of Japan,two percentage points more than last year. Only 26.6 percent of Japanese have a positive impression of China,however.Still,an overwhelming majority of the respondents from each country said Sino-Japanese relations were "important"and wanted their leaders to deepen talks and cooperation with each other.But 51.9 percent of ordinary people and 42.4 percent of students in China said they saw no change in relations between the two countries over the last year. In Japan,64.8 percent of those ordinary people and 53.4 percent of intellectuals surveyed shared the view that there was no improvement in bilateral ties thisyear.Historical issues and territorial disputes remain two major obstacles to improving bilateral relations,the survey found.What concerns the Chinese most are historical issues:visits by Japanese officials to YasukuniShrine（靖国神社）,and the Nanjing Massacre（大屠杀）.Perceptions on economic and trade relations have improved,though.About 47 percent of ordinary Japanese said China had been"helpful"this year in fighting the global economic crisis,compared with just 30 percent last year. The percent of Japanese intellectuals who said Chinese economic growth was good for Japan increased from 65.8 percent to 81.4 percent this year.Cooperation in East Asia issues,trade and investment,energy,the environment and climate change top the list of common concerns that people in China and Japan want their leaders to talk about in bilateral meetings,the survey found.Civil exchanges were regarded by most people from both countries as an important way to improve relations.90. 7 percent of the students and 85.7 percent of the ordinary people in China and 95.8% of intellectuals and 74.8% of the ordinary people in Japan viewed civil exchanges as"important"or"relatively important".Chinese and Japanese both learn about each other's country mostly through television news and newspapers,the survey found.Which of the following statements about the survey is true?A:The survey was conducted on Wednesday at a press conference in Beijing.B:The survey is jointly sponsored by China Daily,Genron NPO and the American Council on Foreign Relations.C:The survey found that people in both China and Japan generally agree that the relationship between the two countries is important.D:The survey mainly focused on two different groups of people:ordinary citizens,and the university students.

Questions 16 to 20 are based on the following passage.
In a time of low academic achievement by children in the United States, many Americans are turning to Japan, a country of high academic achievement and economic success, for possible answers. However, the answers provided by Japanese preschools are not the ones Americans expected to find. In most Japanese preschools, surprisingly little emphasis is put on academic instruction. In one investigation, 300 Japanese and 210 American preschool teachers, child development specialists, and parents were asked about various aspects of early childhood education. Only 2 percent of the Japanese respondents (答问卷者) listed “to give children a good start academically” as one of their top three reasons for a society to have preschools. In contrast, over half the American respondents chose this as one of their top three choices. To prepare children for successful careers in first grade and beyond, Japanese schools do not teach reading, writing, and mathematics, but rather skills such as persistence, concentration, and the ability to function as a member of a group. The vast majority of young Japanese children are taught to read at home by their parents.
In the recent comparison of Japanese and American preschool education, 91 percent of Japanese respondents chose providing children with a group experience as one of their top three reasons for a society to have preschools. Sixty-two percent of the more individually oriented (强调个性发展的) Americans listed group experience as one of their top three choices. An emphasis on the importance of the group seen in Japanese early childhood education continues into elementary school education.
Like in America, there is diversity in Japanese early childhood education. Some Japanese kindergartens have specific aims, such as early musical training or potential development.

Questions 16 to 20 are based on the following passage.
In a time of low academic achievement by children in the United States, many Americans are turning to Japan, a country of high academic achievement and economic success, for possible answers. However, the answers provided by Japanese preschools are not the ones Americans expected to find. In most Japanese preschools, surprisingly little emphasis is put on academic instruction. In one investigation, 300 Japanese and 210 American preschool teachers, child development specialists, and parents were asked about various aspects of early childhood education. Only 2 percent of the Japanese respondents (答问卷者) listed “to give children a good start academically” as one of their top three reasons for a society to have preschools. In contrast, over half the American respondents chose this as one of their top three choices. To prepare children for successful careers in first grade and beyond, Japanese schools do not teach reading, writing, and mathematics, but rather skills such as persistence, concentration, and the ability to function as a member of a group. The vast majority of young Japanese children are taught to read at home by their parents.
In the recent comparison of Japanese and American preschool education, 91 percent of Japanese respondents chose providing children with a group experience as one of their top three reasons for a society to have preschools. Sixty-two percent of the more individually oriented (强调个性发展的) Americans listed group experience as one of their top three choices. An emphasis on the importance of the group seen in Japanese early childhood education continues into elementary school education.
Like in America, there is diversity in Japanese early childhood education. Some Japanese kindergartens have specific aims, such as early musical training or potential development. In large cities, some kindergartens are attached to universities that have elementary and secondary schools. Some Japanese parents believe that if their young children attend a university-based program, it will increase the children’s chances of eventually being admitted to top-rated schools and universities. Several more progressive programs have introduced free play as a way out for the heavy intellectualizing in some Japanese kindergartens.
Why do some Japanese parents send their children to university-based kindergartens?（）A、They can do better in their future studies.B、They can accumulate more group experience there.C、They can be individually oriented when they grow up.D、They can have better chances of getting a first-rate education

问答题Practice 1 Twenty years ago, Motorola looked upon the Japanese with something close to fear. The Chicago company’s television-manufacturing division had been large and profitable in the 1960s. By the early 1970s, however, high costs and a rising tide of inexpensive Japanese TVs were taking a heavy toll. “The Japanese were very aggressive”, recalls Motorola spokesman Mario Salvadori. “They wanted to get market share.” With cutthroat pricing, they did—eventually running nearly every U.S. electronic company out of the TV business. Motorola sold its Quasar TV unit to a Japanese company in 1974. But while other U.S. companies were floored for foreign competition, Motorola refocused its energies, It turned to wireless communications—an industry it had pioneered (with mobile radios and walkie-talkie) in the 1920s. It was a prescient move.
