In Japan many workers for large corporations have a guarantee of lifetime employment . They will not be laid off during recessions （经济萧条） or when the tasks they perform are taken over by robots . To some observers , this is capitalism at its best , because workers are treated as people not things . Others see it as necessarily inefficient and believe it cannot continue if Japan is to remain competitive with foreign corporations more concerned about profits and less concerned about people .
Defenders of the system argue that those who call it inefficient do not understand how it really works . In the first place not every Japanese worker has the guarantee of a lifetime job . The lifetime employment system includes only
“regular employees . ”Many employees do not fall
into this category , including all women . All businesses have many part time and temporary employees . These workers are hired and laid off during the course of the business cycle just as employees in the United States are . These “irregular workers ”make up about 10 percent of the nonagricultural work force . Additionally , Japanese firms maintain some flexibility through the extensive use of subcontractors（ 分包单位） . This practice is much more common in Japan than in the United States .
.
The use of both subcontractors and temporary workers has increased markedly in Japan since the 1974-1975 recessions . All this leads some people to argue that the Japanese system really is not all that different from the American system . During recessions Japanese corporations lay off temporary workers and give less business to subcontractors . In the United States , corporations lay off those workers with the least working experience . The difference then is probably less than the term “lifetime employment ”suggests , but there still is a difference . And this difference cannot be understood without looking at the values of Japanese society . The relationship between employer and employee cannot be explained in purely contractual terms . Firms hold on to the employees and that employees stay with one firm . There are also practical reasons for not jumping from job to job . Most retirement benefits come from the employer . Changing jobs means losing these benefits . Also , teamwork is an essential part of Japanese production . Moving to a new firm means adapting to a different team and at least temporarily , lower productivity and lower pay .
64. According to the passage , a woman in Japan A. cannot get a lifetime job C. will be employed for life
. B. is impossible to get a part time job D. is among the regular workers
65. Which of the following is NOT the reason why Japanese workers stay with one firm ? A. they don ’t want to lose their retirement benefits . B. they are not adaptable people .
C. any change of jobs will make them less paid . D. they get used to the teamwork . 66. It can be inferred from the passage that .
A. those who want to change jobs frequently in Japan should think twice B. those who are first laid off by American corporations are temporary workers C. the use of subcontractors makes Japanese firms less flexible D. the Japanese system is totally different from the American system 67. What does the passage mainly discuss ? A. The extremely hard situation during recessions . B. The extensive use of subcontractors in Japan . C. The features of lifetime employment in Japan .

Liverpool , my hometown , is a unique city . It is so unique that in 2004 it became a World Heritage（遗产） Site .
I recently returned to my home city and my first stop was at a museum on the River Mersey . Blanketed in mist（薄雾）, Victorian architecture rose from the banks of the river , responded to the sounds of sea-birds , and appeared unbelievably charming . When I headed toward the centre , I found myself surrounded by buildings that mirror the best palaces of Europe . It is not hard to imagine why , on first seeing the city , most visitors would be overpowered by the beauty of the noble buildings , which are solid signs of Liverpool ’s history .
As if to stress its cultural role , Liverpool has more museums and galleries than most cities in Britain . At Walker Art Gallery , I was told that it has the best collections of Victorian paintings in the world , and is the home of modern art in the north of England . However , culture is more than galleries . Liverpool offers many music events . As Britain
’s No . I music city , it has the biggest
city music festival in Europe , and its musicians are famous all over the world . Liverpool is also
