Passage Four:Questions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage.For any given task in Britain there are more men than are needed. Strong unions keep them there in Fleet Street, home of some London’s biggest dailies, it is understood that when two unions quarrel over three jobs, the argument is settled by giving each union two. That means 33 per cent overmanning, 33 per cent less productivity than could be obtained.

A reporter who has visited plants throughout Europe has an impression that the pace of work is much slower here. Nobody tries too hard. Tea breaks do matter and are frequent. It is hard to measure intensity of work, but Britons give a distinct impression of going at their tasks in a more leisurely way.

But is all this so terrible? It certainly does not improve the gross national product or output per worker. Those observant visitors, however, have noticed something else about Britain. It is a pleasant place.

Street crowds in Stockholm. Paris and New York move quickly and silently heads down, all in a hurry. London crowds tend to walk at an easy pace (except in the profitable, efficient City, the financial district).

Every stranger is struck by the patient and orderly way in which Britons queue for a bus: if the saleswoman is slow and out of stock she will likely say, ‘oh dear, what a pity’; the rubbish collectors stop to chat (聊天) and call the housewives “Luv.” Crime rises here as in every city but there still remains a gentle tone and temper that is unmatched in Berlin, Milan or Detroit.

In short, what is wrong with Britain may also be what is right. Having reached a tolerable standard, Britons appear to be choosing leisure over goods.

第36题：What happens when disputes over job opportunities arise among British unions?

A) Thirty three per cent of the workers will be out of work.

B) More people will be employed than necessary.

C) More jobs will be created by the government.

D) The unions will try to increase productivity.

Nisaburo and I-Iiroko Ohata are unlike most Japanese couples their age. Sure， Hiroko， 58， is worried about her husband" s high blood pressure， while Nisaburo， 60， promises his wife that if she loses 18 pounds they"ll take a trip abroaD.What makes the Ohatas different is how they met， through a matchmaking organization for single seniors. "On the second date， he asked if I wanted to meet his family，" says Hiroko. "I took that as a proposal. " A little rushed， perhaps， but 17 years after his wife" s death， Nisaburo knew he" d found a new wife. The couple just celebrated four years of marital happiness last month.

In the past， people like Nisaburo and Hiroko might have chosen to live out their lives alone. But as Japan" s society ages， attitudes about love and remarriage late in life are changing. In 2006， according to government data， three times more men and nearly five times more women in their 60s and 70s married for at least the second time， compared with 20 years before.

Granted， change is slow. For this silver-haired population， the concept of "dating" is still masked by the term ocha nomi tomodachi （friends having tea together）. And older people often need help meeting I rospective mates. That" s where specialized matchmaking services such as Ai Senior——" Love Senior"——come in. When Shunichi Ikeda started the online service three years ago， he was surprised by how many visits he was getting from people in their 60s.I keda says that his clienls have an "American perspective" about the dating scene. And their

children are often very supportive， sometimes being the ones to register parents. "More older peo-ple are realizing that life is supposed to be enjoyable——not lonely，" says IkedA.About 17% of the matchmaking clients in Japan are over 50 years old， according to Ai Senior， and seniors" market share has more than doubled over the past three years. "For older， single men， even doing laundry or cooking is difficult，" says IkedA."They want to live with a woman. Likewise， it can be boring for women living alone. They want to provide for someone.
