Critics believe it would also cap gains in profit margins and stifle economic vitality, especially in the absence of bold steps to open the door to new growth, industries. Some economists believe different methods of counting mean Japan&39;s jobless rate is already close to 7 per cent by United States standards, not that far from the 7.8 per cent peak hit in the US in 1992 when it began to emerge from a two-year slump.
听力原文:W: Welcome to our program, Tom.
M: Thank you.
W: Tom, how long have you been a police officer?
M: I've been a police officer for forty years.
W: Forty years. And you've had. different types of assignments on the police force, I guess.
M: Yeah, I've done everything from patrol to undercover work to detective work, and now I'm supervising investigations.
W: Tom I think most people would say that being a police officer is a very stressful job. Would you agree?
M: Yes, it's definitely a stressful assignment you can have.
W: So, what's probably the most stressful assignment you can have?
M: I'd say patrol is the most stressful assignment.
W: That's interesting! In what way?
M: Well, I guess the biggest part of the stress is the fear factor—the fear of the unknown.
W: What do you mean, Tom?
M: Well, in patrol work, you don't know from moment to moment who you are talking to or what their reaction is going to be to justify your presence. Let's say, for example, a patrol officer stops someone for a traffic violation. It seems as though that would be a very low-stress situation.
W: Yes, it is a very low-stress situation.
M: But the truth is, there are more police officers injured during a routine stop.
W: Really?
M: Really! That's why all police officers are taught from the very beginning to be aware of their surroundings. People back over policemen, people shoot policemen, and people jump out at policeman—different kinds of things. So that's probably the most stressful time.
W: I see. Let's take a break and then we'll move on to our next topic.
M: All right.

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 or 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.
Lifetime employment in the Japanese company perhaps means that the employee can make serious mistakes in work.
A.Right
B.Wrong
C.Not mentioned

During the past 200 years the world population has increased 6 times, the annual world output has increased 80 times, and the distance a person can travel has gone up 1,000 times. There has also been much recent progress in art, culture, learning, and science. Such changes have led to a high rate of production and growth of the economy.
Economists fear that within the next 100 to 150 years, the earth's resources will become very scarce. Their fears are partly justified, but we should not be afraid. Industrial civilization adapts to new knowledge. By advancing knowledge, we not only create new forms of resources, but we also find ways to economize their use. Advanced modern knowledge can feed the hungry people of the world and improve their standard of living.
