In the past, young people inprefix = st1 /Japanwere expected to take on responsibilities to support their parents and grandparents. Now they expect to be supported well into young adulthood. The "New breed", born since the 1960s, have never known anything but richness. Youth are seen as resistant to entering society as mature adults, to becoming social citizens. Once the great objective of reconstruction after the Second World War was accomplished, a new generation lost the motivating power that had untied the nation together. Japan's birth rate has been falling rapidly, partly because of the recession , and the job and financial insecurity that it has caused. In 1999, the figure was 1. 38 children per woman, the lowest ever recorded. At the same time, youth crime, although still especially low by western standards, rose to its highest level since record-keeping began 32 years ago. Likewise, the percentage of students dropping out before graduating, at 2. 5% also very low by western standards, has been rising. Entrepreneurial ( ) role models are few and far between. Bill Gates is often mentioned, but a foreign model can only have so much influence. The problem is that Japanese culture discourages people from revealing details of personal life, including such ordeal as starting a company. In the past, successful companies such as Honda or Hitachiprovided role models of a sort. But today they have been faded by the downturn, and few others have risen to take their place. Young people also quite often feel isolated from their fathers, who worked too hard at their jobs to establish much of a relationship with their children. "The one thing they're sure of is that they don't want to be like their fathers. And the girls don't want to be with boys who are like their fathers, so the boys are sure not to be," says Professor Morishma. The word "it" (Line 2, Para. 2) most probably refers to _ . A) economic recession B) job unsafety C) birth rate D) financial unsafety

A 15-year-old boy was injured in a car accident when the car he was traveling in was hit by a truck at a street corner. The boy was taken to a nearby hospital. The doctors said it appeared that the boy had nothing more serious than a broken left leg, but there was a possibility that the boy might have some inside injuries. The boy was conscious when he was sent to the hospital. Luckily, his mother, who was driving, was uninjured. She said that the truck appeared so suddenly that she thought she was going to die. She turned her car sharply to the left, and the truck hit it on the passenger side. [:] The driver of the truck was a 50-year-old man who was unemployed and it was clear that he had been drinking because the police found 18 empty beer cans inside his truck. However, the man _ drinking even if he had failed the police test for drinking, saying, "No, I haven't drunk anything." When asked to touch his nose , ears, and mouth with his eyes closed, he was unable to touch any part of his head. So the police put him into the back seat of a police car. But the man kept crying, "Mabel, where is my Mabel? I can't find her now. I want my Mabel." The police asked him if Mabel was his wife. He said, "She's my dog, my dog! Where's my baby?" Later in the day, the police found a dog with a ring around her neck, on which was written "Mabel" half a block away from where the accident happened. Perhaps the man was looking for his pet dog after drinking when the accident happened.

A) The boy's mother was injured. B) The boy was driving the car. C) A car ran into a truck at a corner. D) The truck driver drank beer.
