What does the news item say about the poverty in Japan?
Poverty is not first thing that comes to mind when you think of Japan. After all, there are no children begging on the streets in major cities here. You do not often see Japanese citizens publicly venting their frustrations over the country’s economic decline. But senior government researcher Aya Abe says Japan has the fourth-highest rate of poverty among developed countries. She says she sees that poverty in schools where students admit to only bathing once a week. Some cannot afford to buy pencils for class. Abe attributes the increase in child poverty to the country’s changing demographics, struggling economy and high social security premiums. She says fewer people live in three-generation households, where the parents and grandparents work. The number of single mothers has increased. The salary for young fathers has declined with the economic downturn. And social security premiums have increased in the last 20 years, putting families on the threshold of poverty. Abe says studies conducted by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development(OECD)pointed to rising poverty in Japan before the global economic crises in 2008.
选项
A、In terms of poverty, Japan ranks fourth among developed countries.
B、The poverty was mainly because of the inflation.
C、There are many kids wandering in the streets for begging.
D、The Japanese often complained about their embarrassing situations.
答案
A
解析
本题问及日本的贫困问题。新闻指出,政府高级研究员Abe说日本的贫困指数在发达国家中排名第四,可见A的表述正确。新闻提到,在日本的大城市看不到孩子沿街乞讨;日本市民也不会轻易透露出国家经济不景气。可见C、D与新闻报道不相符。新闻中没有提到通货膨胀,B不能选。
