On the night of the play, Jack was at the theatre early and he was already dressed in a policeman’s clothes long before the end of the first scene. He certainly looked the part all right, he thought as he    37    himself in the mirror. He even thought of going out into the street to see    38    he could pass as a policeman out there. Just for fun, of course.

Then he suddenly felt nervous. After all, it was his first time to    39    a part in a play. How could he face all those people   40    the play? He put his head in his hand and tried to    41   his lines, but nothing came to his mind.

A knock on the door made him look    42   . He was to go on stage in the second scene. “Have I   43   my part and ruined the play for everybody?” he

thought to himself, but it was only the manager. She    44    how nervous he was and suggested he should stand near the stage    45    he could watch and follow the play. It was a good   46    of getting rid of his nervousness, she said. She was right--- it seemed to    47   . In fact, the more he watched the play, the    48   he felt himself part of it.

At last the    49   came for him to appear on the stage, but suddenly the manager came to him again, looking worried as she placed a hand on his arm to    50    him back. “Has anything gone wrong?” Jack asked. “I’m afraid you’re going to be    51   ,” she said. “They have jumped three pages of the play and have missed your part out completely.”

    A new enemy is threatening Japanese traditions: leisure（閑暇）. 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（偏見） 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 of 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 no 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（隱性的） 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 hard-working 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 the can get

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

       C．the shorter hours 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．The best title for this passage can be ______________

       A．Oh no! Not Saturday Again!   B．Leisure: the Greatest Threat!

       C．Enjoy While You are Young!  D．Less Work and More Play!

More and more often we heard of people talking about Karaoke（卡拉OK）。 But what on earth it is about， still remains a question for many people. Karaoke is a sort of acoustic equipment which was invented in Japan around the middle of the 1970's. It means "a band without people" in Japanese. In fact， it is just a music tape without words. This equipment first appeared in some public houses and snack bars， and mainly for the customers to enjoy themselves. Most of the music in Karaoke was popular music. Therefore， at times， when anyone felt like it， he might sing songs to the accompaniment of the music that came from the equipment. Shortly after its invention， Karaoke was spread to the whole world. It was introduced to China and was welcomed by many people. Although you are not a good singer， or even sometimes you may sing out of tune， you can always enjoy yourself by singing Karaoke.

       Would you eat a ready meal from the fridge rather than cook by yourself? Have you been doing Internet shopping rather than going to the stores? What can't you be bothered to do?

       A study into how lazy British people are has found more than half of the adults are so idle (懶散的) that they'd catch the lift rather than climb two flights of stairs.

       Just over 2000 people were quizzed by independent researchers at Nuffield Health, Britain's largest health center. The results were extremely surprising.

       About one in six people questioned said if their remote control was broken, they would continue watching the same channel rather than get up.

       More than one third of those questioned said they would not run to catch a bus. Worryingly, of the 654 respondents with children, 64% said they were often too tired to play with them.

       This led the report to conclude that it's no wonder that one in six children in the UK are classified as obese (very fat) before they start school.

       Dr Sarah Dauncey, medical director of Nuffield Health, said, “People need to get fitter, not just for their own sake, but for the sake of their families, friends and evidently (明顯地；顯然) their pets too.”

       “If we don't start to take control of this problem, a whole generation will become too unfit to perform even the most fundamental tasks.”

       And Scotland's largest city, Glasgow, was shamed as the most idle city in the UK, with 75% questioned admitting they do not get enough exercise, followed closely by Birmingham and Southampton, both with 67%.

       The results bring serious challenges for the National Health Service, where obesity-related illnesses such as heart disease and cancer have been on a steady increase for the past 40 years and are costing billions of pounds every year.

1. How many people questioned don't play with their children?

       A. 1280.                       B. More than 333.         C. 654.                         D. About 420.

2. The study leads us to believe that _____________.

       A. the pets in the UK will be in trouble if their owners keep their way of life

       B. Glasgow people feel ashamed because they don't get enough exercise

       C. British people are the laziest around the world

       D. five sixths of the British children are healthy

3. How does the author convince the readers?

       A. By presenting the results of a study.               B. By providing answers to questions.

       C. By interviewing some experts.                       D. By telling a story.

4. What is the passage mainly about?

       A. A study of British people's laziness.               B. A study of British people's lifestyles.

       C. The health service in the UK.                        D. The obesity problem in the UK.
