Reading Comprehension (25%) Directions: Read the following five passages carefully, choose the best answer to each question from the four choices given, and then write the corresponding letter on your Answer Sheet.Passage One In Japan, some people play golf on weekends and some form l

39、ong lines in the Ginza district to watch first-run foreign films. A knowing few go to the barbershop. A trip to a Japanese barbershop is an odyssey into the country's economic miracle, a glimpse at the same attention to detail that has made "Japan Inc." the envy of the capitalist world

40、. It is more than simply getting a haircut. Customers go to escape the hustle and bustle of Tokyo's frenetic pace. They go to complain about local politics and catch up on the latest neighborhood scuttlebutt. But most of all, they go to be cranked up high in the barber's chair, to assume for

41、 at lest one precious moment regardless of their walk of life-that honorific stature uniquely revered in Japan: that of okyakusama, or customer. So going to the barbershop here is an outing . The object is not to get it over with as quickly as possible, American-style, but to prolong the treatment a

42、nd bask in its sensual pleasures. No one understands this better than Tanaka-san, who runs a state-of-the-art barbershop just up the street from where I live, in the Minami Azabu district. Like much else in Japan, Mr. Tankaka's shop has only recently gone upscale. Last year, he sold his small, o

43、ld shop, located a few blocks from the new one, for a cool $15.3 million. With typical Japanese foresight for investing for the long pull, Mr. Tanaka plowed the proceeds into his spanking new premises. Mr. Tanaka, 54, has been in the barbering business for 38 years. Back in 1950, he charged only 35

44、yen - not much compared with the 3,200 yen he receives today for a cut and shampoo. At today's exchange rates, $22 for a haircut might seem expensive, but I think it's one of the best deals in town. You always have to wait in line at Mr. Tanaka's shop : He doesn't take reservations b

45、ecause he doesn't need to. But when your time comes, Mr. Tanaka directs you to the seat of honor. Soon his wife is feverishly shampooing your hair, massaging your scalp with a special brush. While she scrubs, Mr. Tanaka is busy at the next chair, applying the finishing snips and snaps to another

46、 client. This tag-team approach keeps the shop running at full capacity. Mr. Tanaka typically spends about 45 minutes cutting your hair, scrutinizing the symmetry of the sideburns with the utmost care. His cutting skills are superb, but it is in conversation that he truly excels. He knows when to ta

47、lk, when to listen and when to utter the drawn-out guttural grunt of approval so common in Japanese. These insightful yet subtle dialogues with his clients create the cornerstone of Mr.Tanaka's thriving business: the repeat customer, every retailer's dream. For the rare client not "hook

48、ed" by pleasant conversation , Mrs. Tanaka's shaving technique, with a straight-edged razor, is the showstopper. First, she places a hot towel over your face, then wipes your face with moisturizing oil. She applies another hot towel to remove the oil and lathers you up with warm shaving cre

49、am. Finally, she methodically spends fifteen minutes shaving off every last whisker-including any stray hairs that might have found their way to your forehead or earlobes. The oil and hot-towel procedure is repeated and the reclining customer is gently coaxed into returning to earth. Foreign busines

50、smen trying to figure our what makes Japan's economy so successful might do well to visit a Japanese barbershop. Impeccable service isn't extra here, it's included the price of admission.61. An attention to detail has made "Japan Inc." A. a good place for tourists B. a land of

51、many barbershops C. a prosperous economic power D. a famous resort62.

Relaxation and sensual pleasure are A. admitted goals of custo

52、mers B. not possible in the busy atmosphere C. not appreciated by hurried customers D. not available to customers64. Because Mr. Tanaka's shop is s popular, A. reservations are required B. people wait in line C. he is opening another new store D. he becomes famous for that65. Not only is Mr. Tan

53、aka a good barber, but he is also A. skilled at conversation B. an expert in shaving techniques C. a local politician D. a psychologistPassage Two Mincerva was the goddess of wisdom, but on one occasion she did a very foolish thing; she entered into competition with Juno and Venus for the prize of b

54、eauty. It happened thus: At the nuptials of Peleus and Theetis all the gods were invited with the exception of Eris, or Discord. Enraged at her exclusion, the goddess threw a golden apple among the guests, with the inscription (题词), "For the fairest." Thereupon Juno, Venus, and Minerva each claimed the apple. Jupiter, not willing to decide in so delicate a
