    　　The Japanese view of aging is markedly different from that in the United States．In contrast to the aged in America, the elderly in Japan occupy a position of honor．In part, this respect for age is based on ancient social and religious traditions not readily adaptable to our culture．But there are specific Japanese programs and practices that we might as well as import．

    　　Old people in the United States may not be given much respect because they often lack status．Strongly encouraged to leave their jobs at sixty－five, many then occupy the lower rungs of the economic ladder．In Japan the able－bodied continue to work or to help their families in the home．In addition, they are guaranteed a minimum income, receive free annual health examinations, and are entitled to completely free medical care after age seventy．We could benefit by following Japan's lead here, especially in providing more job opportunities for the aged．

    　　We Americans might also profit by copying the Japanese example of fully integrating(综合)the elderly in our daily lives．In Japan 75 percent of the old live with their children, as opposed to only 25 percent in the United States．For those who do live alone, the Japanese have established programs to assure that they receive daily visits or calls．To encourage the active involvement of all older citizens in social activities, the government subsidizes Elders Clubs and sports programs．Through these programs the aged supply each other with mutual support and gain a sense of self－pride．

    (1)

    In Japan, the elderly enjoy an honorable status mainly because of ________．

    [　　]

    A．

    the Japanese attitudes towards aging

    B．

    the establishment of recreational facilities

    C．

    the mutual support among the aged

    a sense of self－pride on the part of the elderly

    (2)

    The main social benefits for the aged in Japan include ________．

    [　　]

    A．

    the active involvement in mental activities

    B．

    the practice of daily food deliveries

    C．

    the provision of more job opportunities

    D．

    free medical care per year

    (3)

    The word“subsidizes”(Line 4, Para．3)can be best replaced by ________．

    [　　]

    A．

    believes

    B．

    reforms

    C．

    supports

    D．

    opposes

    (4)

    [　　]

    A．

    opposes the elderly continuing work after 65

    B．

    thinks the U．S．can learn from Japan about aging

    C．

    encourages the elderly to leave their work early

    D．

    speaks unfavorably of the Japanese social traditions
