44、uct is foreign words.Gairaigo words that come from outsidehave 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

45、 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.

46、” 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.

47、overnment 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

51、tbooks.CThe interest of young Japanese.DForeign products and experts.71The book Japanese to Be Read Aloud _.Asells very well in JapanBis supported by the governmentCis questioned by the old generationDcauses misunderstanding among the readersEAt one time, computers were expected largely to remove th

52、e need for paper copies of documents(文件) because they could be stored electronically.

53、uters, 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 treesEto be cut down .” says Ted Smith of the Earth Village Organisation.
