come from outside have been part of the Japanese language for centuries Mostly borrowed from English and Chinese these terms are often changed into forms no longer understood by native speakers But in the last few years the trickle 涓涓细流 of foreign words has become a flood and people fear the increasing use of foreign words is making it hard for the Japanese to understand each other and could lead to many people forgetting the good qualities of traditional 传统的 Japanese The popularity of foreign words is part of the Japanese interest in anything new says university lecturer and writer Takashi Saito By using a foreign word you can make a subject seem new which makes it easier for the media 媒体 to pick up Experts 专家 often study abroad and use English terms when they speak with people in their own fields Those terms are then included in government white papers said Muturo Kai president of the National Language Research Institute Foreign words find their way easily into announcements made to the general public when they should really be explained in Japanese Against the flow of new words many Japanese are turning back to the study of their own language Saito s Japanese to Be Read Aloud is one of many language books that are now flying off booksellers shelves We were expecting to sell the books to young people said the writer but it turns out they are more popular with the older generation who seem uneasy about the future of Japanese 68 What advantages do foreign words have over traditional Japanese terms A The ideas expressed in foreign words sound new B Foreign words are best suited for announcements C Foreign words make new subjects easier to understand D The use of foreign words makes the media more popular 69 In the opinion of Takashi Saito Japanese people A are

supported by the government C is questioned by the old generationD causes misunderstanding among the readers E E At one time computers were expected largely to remove the need for paper copies of documents 文件 because they could be stored electronically But for all the texts that are written stored and sent electronically a lot of them are still ending up on paper It is difficult to measure the quantity of paper used as a result of use of Internet connected computers although just about anyone who works in an office can tell you that when e mail is introduced the printers start working overtime I feel in my bones this revolution is causing more trees E E to be cut down says Ted Smith of the Earth Village Organisation Perhaps best sign of how computer and Internet use pushes up demand for paper comes from the high tech industry itself which sees printing as one of its most promising new markets Several Internet companies have been set up to help small businesses print quality documents from a computer Earlier this week Hewlett Packard Co announced a plan to develop new technologies that will enable people to print even more so they can get a hard copy of a business document a medical record or just a one line e mail even if they are nowhere near a computer As the company sees it the more use of the Internet the greater demand for printers Does all this mean

is taken care of because of recycling 回收利用 said Kelly Quirke director of the Rainforest Action Network in San Francisco Yet Quirke is hopeful that high tech may also prove helpful He says printers
