Many Americans are turning to Japan, they think, a country of high academic achievement and economic success, for possible answers. However, the answers provided by Japanese preschools are not the ones Americans expected to find. In most Japanese preschools, surprisingly little emphasis is put on academic instruction. In one survey, 300 Japanese and 210 American preschool teachers, child development specialists, and parents were asked about various aspects of early childhood education. Only 2 percent of the Japanese respondents (答问卷者) listed “to give children a good start academically” as one of their top three reasons for a society to have preschools. In contrast, over half the American respondents chose this as one of their top three choices. To prepare children for successful careers in first grade and beyond, Japanese preschools do not teach reading, writing, and mathematics, but rather skills such as determination, concentration, and the ability to work as a member of a group. The huge majority of young Japanese children are taught to read at home by their parents.

Like in America, there is diversity (多样性) in Japanese early childhood education. Some Japanese kindergartens have specific aims, such as early musical training or potential development. In large cities, some kindergartens are attached to universities that have elementary and secondary schools. Some Japanese parents believe that if their young children attend a university-based program, it will increase the children’s chances of eventually being admitted to top-rated（一流的） schools and universities. Several more progressive programs have introduced free play as a way out for the heavy intellectualizing (智能化) in some Japanese kindergartens.

The Japanese economy is at a standstill，Japan ’ s government has said, as concerns about the

strong yen(曰元）continue to grow. The recovery in the economy was “pausing"，the Cabinet Office said in a monthly statement.

It is the most negative that the government has been about the economy in nearly two years. The rising yen and a slowdown in global demand for Japanese exports were blamed for the setback.

In recent months, the government has insisted that the economy is “picking up". But it said it now expected the economy to Femain weak for some time, with “weakening" exports a chief concern. It said shipments to Asia in particular were becoming weaker, further hitting exporters that are already suffering from the strong yen.

The yen remains near a 15 - year high against the US dollar, despite the financial interfer-ence ( 干预）in the currency markets last month for the first time in six years.

Japanese Prime Minister Naoto Kan(菅直人）has also passed a $ 63 billion stimulus(剌激）package in an effort to protect exporters who have seen the poor exchange rate eat into their prof-its. At the close of markets in Tokyo，the yen was trading at 81.44 yen to the dollar, just off the high of 81.27 yen.

"If the economy turns out as expected, we may end up describing the current situation as a soft patch，” one of die government officials said ’ “ But if it comes under further downward pressure, it could end up slipping into recession (衰退）.”

The Japanese government think the current bad economy situation is partly due to   .

A. the decline of the strong yen    B. the unsatisfactory exports

 C. the government' s mistaken policy   D. the decline in the quality of goods

In recent months, the government has a(n) attitude towards the economy situation.

A. shocking B. negative C. optimistic   D. aggressive

From the passage we know the government has taken measures mainly to   .

A. protect the foreign markets  B. protect profits of its hitting exporters

C. monitor the yen exchange rate    D. stimulate domestic demands

The passage could probably be found in .

A. government white paper   B. a science fiction

C. a travel journal D. a newspaper report

The forces that make Japan one of the world's most earthquake-prone（有地震倾向的） countries could become part of its long-term energy solution．

Water from deep below the ground at Japan's tens of thousands of hot springs could be used to produce electricity．

Although Japanese high-tech companies are leaders in geothermal（地热的） technology and export it, its use is limited in the nation．

"Japan should no doubt make use of its resources of geothermal energy," said Yoshiyasu Takefuji, a leading researcher of thermal-electric power production．

The disastrous earthquake and tsunami on March 11, 2011 caused a reaction against atomic power, which previously made up 30 percent of Japan's energy needs, and increased interest in alternative energies, which account for only 8 percent．

Artist Yoko Ono has called on Japan to explore its natural energy, following the example of Iceland which uses renewable energy for more than 80 percent of its needs．

For now, geothermal energy makes up less than 1 percent of the energy needs in Japan, which has for decades relied heavily on fossil fuels and atomic power．

The biggest problem to geothermal energy is the high initial cost of the exploration and constructing the factories．Another problem is that Japan's potentially best sites are already being developed for tourism or are located within national parks where construction is forbidden．

"We can't even dig 10cm inside national parks．" said Shigeto Yamada of Fuji Electric, adding that regulations protecting nature would need to be relaxed for geothermal energy to grow．

Researcher Hideaki Matsui said, "Producing electricity using hot springs is a decades-long project．We also have to think about what to do for now as energy supplies will decline in the short term．"

The Earth Policy Institute in Washington, US, believed Japan could produce 80,000 megawatts（兆瓦）and meet more than half its electricity needs with geothermal technology．

Japanese giants such as Toshiba are already global leaders in geothermal technology, with a 70 percent market share．In 2010, Fuji Electric built the world's largest geothermal factory in New Zealand．

1.What would be the best title for the text?

D．Japan thinks of geothermal energy

2.What percentage of Japan's energy needs is geothermal energy?

3.According to Shigeto Yamada, the growth of geothermal power in Japan needs ____．

A．a change of rules                       B．financial support

C．local people's help                      D．high technology

4.Geothermal energy is considered as a long-term program by _____．

A．Yoshiyasu Takefuji                       B．Hideaki Matsui

C．Shigeto Yamada                         D．Yoko Ono

5.It can be learned from the last two paragraphs that _____．

A．the world's biggest geothermal plant was built by America

B．Japan will not export its geothermal technology

C．the potential of Japan's geothermal energy is great

D．it is hard to find geothermal energy in Japan
