问题     Recent surveys show that Japanese youth have become a "Me Generation" that rejects traditional values.
    "Around 1980 many Japanese, 【C1】______young people abandoned the values of economic success and began【C2】______for new sets of values to【C3】______them happiness, " writes sociologist Yasuhiro in Comparative Civilizations Review. Japanese youth are placing more importance on the individual’ s pursuit of【C4】______and less on the values of work, family, and society.
    Japanese students seem to be losing patience with work, 【C5】______their counterparts in the United States and Korea. In a 1993【C6】______of college students in the three countries, only 10% of the Japanese regarded【C7】______as a primary value compared with 47% of Korean students and 27% of American students. A greater【C8】______of Japanese aged 18 -24 also preferred easy jobs【C9】______heavy responsibility.
    The younger Japanese are showing less concern for family values as they pursue an inner world of private satisfaction. Data collected【C10】______the Japanese government in 1993 shows that only 23% of Japanese youth are thinking about supporting their aged parents, in contrast【C11】______63% of young Americans. It appears that many younger-generation Japanese are【C12】______both respect for their parents【C13】______a sense of responsibility to the family. Author Yoshizaki attributes the change【C14】______Japanese parents’ over-indulgence of their children, material affluence, and growing【C15】______for private matters.
    The shift【C16】______individualism among Japanese is most pronounced among【C17】______very young. According to 1991 data【C18】______the Bunka Center of Japan, 50% of Japanese youth aged 16 -19 can be labeled " self-centered" compared with 33% among【C19】______aged 25-29. To earn the self-centered label, the young people responded positively to【C20】______ideas as " I would like to make decisions without considering traditional values" and "I don’t want to do anything I can’t enjoy doing.
【C12】
选项
答案losing
解析 根据上下文的意思，很多年轻一代的日本人已经不再尊重父母，不再对家庭有责任感，所以这里用losing表示“渐渐失去了”。所以此处应填“losing”。
