In the past, young people in Japan were expected to take on responsibilities to support their parents and grandparents. Now they expect to be supported well into young adulthood. The "new breed", born since the 1960s, have never known anything but richness. Youth are seen as resistant to entering society as mature adults to becoming social citizens. Once the great objective of reconstruction after the Second World War was accomplished, a new generation lost the motivating power that had united the nation together.
Japan’s birth rate has been falling rapidly, partly because of the recession, and the job and financial insecurity that it has caused. In 1999, the figure was 1. 38 children per woman, the lowest ever recorded. At the same time, youth crime, although still especially low by western standards, rose to its highest level since record-keeping began 32 years ago. Likewise, the proportion of students dropping out before graduating, at 2. 5% also very low by western standards, has nevertheless been rising.
Entrepreneurial (企业家的) role models are few and far between. Bill Gates is often mentioned, but a foreign model can only have so much influence. The problem is that Japanese culture discourages people from revealing details of personal life, including such ordeal (考验) as starting a company. In the past, successful companies such as Honda or Hitachi provided role models of a sort. But today they have been faded by the downturn, and few others have risen to take their place.
By the same reason, young people often feel isolated from their fathers who worked too hard at their jobs to establish much of a relationship with their children. "The one thing they’re sure of is that they don’t want to be like their fathers. And the girls don’t want to be with boys who are like their fathers, so the boys are sure not to be," says Professor Morishima.
Today, entrepreneurial models are rarely found in Japan because ______.
选项
A、the discouragement of Japanese culture
B、the worshipping of western models
C、the lack of experience of starting a company
D、the "new breed" don’t want to work hard
答案
A
解析
本题是细节题。作者在第三段中指出:日本缺少企业家的行为榜样的问题在于“日本的文化阻碍了日本人民揭示个人生活中的细节部分,其中包括创建公司的经验。”所以A选项是正确答案。第三段第二句提到外国人的榜样所起的作用是有限的,故排除B选项;选项C只是问题的一个方面,也可排除;D选项在文中未提及。
