Japanese students work very hard but many are very unhappy. They feel great pressure from their parents to do well in school and in college. Most students are always being told by their parents to study harder so that they can have successful future. Although this may be good advice for those who are very bright, it can have very bad results for many students who are not quick enough at learning.
Unfortunately, a number of students actually kill themselves. Others are after comfort in using drugs. Some students, however, do bad things with groups of bad people and turn to crime. Many of them have tried very hard at school but, in spite of all their tries, have failed in certain examinations and have disappointed their parents. Such students feel that they are less important than everyone else they meet and leave school before they finish their study.
It is surprising that although most Japanese parents are anxious for their children to do well at school, they do not help them in any way. Many parents feel that they are unable to help their children with their lessons and that it is the teachers’ job to help their children.
To make matter worse, a lot of parents send their children to special schools called juku-cram schools. These schools are open during the evenings and on weekends, and their only purpose is to prepare students to pass exams; they do not try to educate students in any real sense of the world. Thus comes a shock to realize that almost three quarters of the junior high school students attend these cram schools.
Ordinary Japanese schools usually have rules about everything from the length of students’ hair to their clothes and things in their school bags. Child psychologists now think that such strict rules often lead to a feeling of being unsafe and being unable to fit into society. They believe that no sense of moral(道德) values is developed and that students are given neither guidance nor training in becoming good citizens.

  Look out for the “Made in the USA” label (标签) on some best-selling music from Japan’s top pop artists. Japan’s chart-topping (流行榜) musicians, looking to make music with some of the top talent in the United State, or just looking for a bit of anonymity (匿名) overseas away from the press pack at home, are heading to studios in places like New York and Los Angeles to record music.

  Among the top 20 album (一套唱片) in Japan in May, 14 were made by Japanese artists and six of those were partially or completely recorded in the United States. The other six slots (位置) in the top 20 chart were filled by overseas artists. Japanese artists started coming in force to the United States to make music during the heady (轻率的) days of the late 1980s when the yen (日元) was strong and the novelty (新颖) factor was high. Yet despite the fact that the novelty factor has worn off and the economy has taken a nosedive, top artists are still heading stateside[在(向、来自)美国本土].

  Japan is the world’s second-biggest music market after the United States with yearly sales of around US $ 5 billion. Top Japanese artists have earning power near that of their counter parts in the United States and Europe. “What brings Japanese artists to New York a lot of times is the cachet (威望) of recording in America, and the energy you get when you come to New York to record,” said Steve Rosenthal, the owner of the Magic Shop recording studio. “The city where you make a record has a lot to do with what the record eventually sounds like and feels like, and there is a certain energy you get when you make a record in New York.” The first Japanese artists started coming around 10 years ago and now make up about 15 percent of the studio’s clientele (客户). Japanese artist Bonnie Pink recently cut an album at the studio and rockers (摇滚歌手), Super Car also paid a visit hoping to catch the vibe (氛围) that helped propel (推进) the Ramones to stardom (明星身份,明星界).

1.From the passage we learn that ________.

[  ]

A.most of the top album in Japan in May were recorded in the United States

B.the label “made in the USA” can be found on most of the top artists’ album

C.the United States is the biggest music market in the world

D.Japan is the biggest music market

2.What brings Japanese artists to the United States is ________.

[  ]

A.the more powerful American musicians

B.the better economic circumstances on the United States

C.the better reward

D.the energy one can get in the United States

3.The word “nosedive” (para. 2) most probably means ________.

[  ]

A.sensitivity
B.a disgusting quality
C.sudden rising
D.sharp descent

4.Which of the following statements is true?

[  ]

A.The Japanese musicians began to come to the United States around a decade ago.

B.Japanese musicians have become the main clients of the American studios.

C.Japanese musicians came to the United States with the economic support from the home.

D.On the top chart, there is no foreign album.

5.We can infer from the sentence “what bring Japanese artists to New York… is the cachet of recording in America” ( Para. 3 ) that ________.

[  ]

A.Japanese musicians come to New York just to get a label of “made in the USA”

B.a label of “made in the USA” means that the music is the best

C.in Japanese’s mind, the foreign music is better than the domestic

D.the American music is the best in the world

  A new enemy is threatening Japanese traditions: As part of its attempt to increase imports, the government is trying to get people to work less and spend more. The workers are disgusted.

  The figures support the western prejudice that the Japanese are all work and no play. Trying to force workers away from their desks and machines, the government said last April that the country should cut down from its 2,100 hours average work year to 1,899 hours and a five-day week by 1992. Beginning in February, banks and stock markets will be closed on Saturdays, staff or civil service will be forced out of their offices two Saturdays a month. The government hopes that others will follow that practice.

  But some persuasion will be needed. Small companies are very angry about it and they fear competitors may not cut hours. The unions are on happier; they have even advertised in newspapers are on happier; they have even advertised in newspapers arguing their case against the foreign pressure that is forcing leisure upon them. They say that shorter hours are a disguised(伪装的)pay cut. The industrialists, who have no objection to the government's plans, admit that shorter hours will help them cut costs. Younger Japanese who are supposed to be acting against their hardworking parents, show no sign of wanting time off, either. But unlike older workers, they do spend money in their spare time. Not content with watching television, they dance, dress up, sit in cafes, go to pop concerts and generally drive the leisure-industry boom. Now that they know how to consume. Maybe the West can teach them to relax and enjoy themselves, too.

(1)The purpose of getting the Japanese to have more spare time is that ________.

[  ]

A. the government wants to show more concern for the health of the people

B. the government needs to get more goods from abroad

C. the Japanese have been working too hard

D. the Japanese hope to change the western prejudice

(2)The group of people who welcome the shorter-hour system in Japan is ________.

[  ]

A. the small companies

B. the industrialists

C. the unions

D. the younger generation

(3)The unions think that ________.

[  ]

A. the shorter hours they work, the higher pay they can get

B. the more they work, the less leisure they can enjoy

C. the shorter hour they work, the less pay they can have

D. the greater pressure the government is forcing on them, the less happy they can be

(4)What is the result of younger Japanese's relation to the leisure industry?

[  ]

A. It costs more money than they can offer.

B. It is more and more unbearable to older workers.

C. The younger generation become more and more in favour of it.

“Long time no see” is a very interesting sentence. When I first read this sentence from an American friend’s email, I laughed. I thought it was a perfect example of Chinglish.

Obviously, it is a word-by-word literal translation of the Chinese greetings with a ruled English grammar and structure! Later on, my friend told me that it is a standard American greeting. I was too thrilled to believe her. Her words could not convince me at all. So I did a research on google.com. To my surprise, there are over 60 thousand web pages containing “Long time no see.” This sentence has been widely used in emails, letters, newspapers, movies, books, or any other possible places. Though it is sort of informal, it is part of the language that Americans use daily. Ironically, if you type this phrase in Microsoft Word, the software will tell you that the grammar needs to be corrected.

Nobody knows the origin of this Chinglish sentence. Some people believe that it came from Charlie Chan’s movies. In the 1930s, Hollywood moviemakers successfully created a world wide famous Chinese detective named “Charlie Chan” on wide screens. Detective Chan likes to teach Americans some Chinese wisdom by quoting Confucius. “Long time no see” was his trademark. Soon after Charlie Chan, “Long time no see” became a popular phrase in the real world with thanks to the popularity of these movies.

Some scholars refer to America as a huge pot of stew. All kinds of culture are mixed in the stew together, and they change the color and taste of each other. American Chinese, though a minority ethnic(少数民族的成员) group in the United States, is also contributing some changes to the stew! Language is usually the first thing to be influenced in the mixed stew.

You can have some other examples than adoptions from Chinese, such as pizza from Italian, susi from Japanese, and déjà vu from French etc. There is a long list! Americans do not just simply borrow something from others. They will modify it and make it their own, so you would not be surprised to find a tofu and peanut butter hamburger in a restaurant, or to buy a bottle of iced Chinese green tea with honey in a grocery store. Since Americans appreciate Chinese culture more and more nowadays, I believe more Chinese words will become American English in the future. In this way the American stew keeps adding richness and flavor.

1.The writer himself felt surprised at ______. 

A.the Chinglish expression “Long time no see”

B.“Long time no see” used as standard American English

C.so many literal translation of the expressions used in America

D.finding out Americans use the expression every day

2.The word “stew” in the 4th paragraph probably means ______.

A.mixture literature                       B.Confucius’ words

C.a kind of cooked dish                    D.American changing cultures

3.According to the passage, it can be inferred that ______.

A.detectives translate the phrase “Long time no see”

B.Hollywood made “Long time no see” popular

C.the huge pot of stew greatly affects all kinds of languages

D.cultures can be changed in the huge pot of stew

4.The main idea of the passage is that ______.

A.some Chinese expressions are introduced into English

B.you’ll not be surprised at a tofu in a restaurant in America

C.some American expressions can be used in China

D.American English keep being enriched from different cultures

5.According to the passage, which of the following statements is not true?

A.Informal language sometimes doesn’t go with grammar and structure.

B.Languages are always ruled by grammar and structure.

C.Long time no see” has been used in at least four media mentioned in the passage.

D.There are four languages mentioned to be adopted in the American stew.
