18、write in a nearby notepad before showing her words to a passing caf waiter: “Where are the toilets please?” This is a familiar scene in Tokyos so-called “silent cafes”, where customers are not allowed to speak, and only municate by writing in notepads.The concept rises by a desire to be alone among

19、youg Japanese, a situation brought by economic uncertainty, a shift in traditional family support structures and the growing social isolation(隔离). The phenomenon is not limited to coffee shops but covers everything from silent discos, where participants dance alone wearing wireless headphones connec

21、d has its own media expression “botchi-zoku”, referring to individuals who consciously choose to do things pletely on their own.One recent weekday afternoon, Chihiro Higashikokubaru, a 23-year-old nurse, travelled 90 minutes from her home, to Tokyo on her day off in order to enjoy some solo time. Sp

22、eaking quietly at the entrance of the caf, Miss Higashikokubaru said: “I heard about this place via Twitter and I like the idea of ing here. I work as a nurse and its always very busy. There are very few quiet places in Tokyo, and its a big busy city. I just want to e and sit somewhere quietly on my

23、 own. Im going to drink a cup of tea and maybe do some drawings. I like the idea of a quiet, calm atmosphere.”The desire to be isolated is not a new concept in Japan, home to an estimated 3.6 million “hikikomori” a more extreme example of social recluses（隐士）who withdraw pletely from society.24.

26、yo on her work days.27. What is the best title of the passage?A. Silent cafes B. Lonely JapaneseC. One woman wedding D. Social recluses in JapanCOne form of social prejudice against older people is the belief that they cannot understand or use modern technology. Activities like playing puter games,

27、going on the Net and downloading MP3s are only for the youngsters. Isnt it unfair that older people enjoying a puter game should be frowned（皱眉）upon by their children and grandchildren?Nowadays older people have more control over their lives and they play a full part in society. Moreover, better heal

28、th care has left more people in their sixties and seventies feeling fit and active after retirement. Mental activity, as well as physical exercise, can contribute to better health.

31、模拟）games. Internet Chess and Train Simulator are among the most popular of these. Train Simulator is based on real-world rail activities. Players can choose from a variety of challengers, such as keeping to a strict-timetable and using helper engines during a winter storm.Some people argue that “grey gamers” simply dont have the skills required for puter games, and that teenagers are better.
