Sunscreen and sunglasses.A young woman sits alone in caf sipping tea and reading a book. She pauses briefly to write in a nearby notepad before showing her words to a passing ca

17、f 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 communicate by writing in notepads.The concept rises by a desire to be alone among young Japanese, a situation brought by economic uncertainly, a

18、shift in traditional family support structures and the growing social isolation. The phenomenon is not limited to coffee shops but covers everything from silent discos, where participants dance alone wearing wireless headphones connected to the DJ, to products such as small desk tents designed for c

19、onversation-free privacy in the office. One Kyoto company even offers single women the opportunity to have a “one woman wedding” a full bridal affair, complete with white dress and ceremony, and the only thing missing is the groom. The trend has its own media expression “botchi-zoku”, referring to i

20、ndividuals who consciously choose to do things completely 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. Speaking quietly at the entrance of the caf, Miss Higashiko

21、kubaru said: “I heard about this place via Twitter and I like the idea of coming 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 come and sit somewhere quietly on my own. Im going to drink a cup of tea and maybe do s

22、ome 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 completely from society.24What is special about the “silent caf”?A.

23、various tea and books.B. People are not allowed to communicate.C. It has attracted many popular young people.D.

25、 passage?A. Silent cafesB. Lonely JapaneseC. One woman wedding D. Social recluses in JapanOne form of social prejudice against older people is the belief that they cannot understand or use modern technology. Activities like playing computer games, going on the Net and downloading MP3s are only for t

26、he youngsters. Isnt it unfair that older people enjoying a computer 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 health care has left more people in their sixties and

27、 seventies feeling fit and active after retirement. Mental activity, as well as physical exercise, can contribute to better health. Playing computer games is a very effective way of exercising the brain.When personal computers were first introduced, most older people didnt believe they would ever fa

28、miliarize themselves with it. Now computers have been around for a few generations and retired people have gradually become more relaxed about using them for fun. Gamers over 65 prefer playing puzzle games and card games. Kate Stevens, aged 72, says: “I find it very relaxing. Its not very demanding,

29、 but you still need to concentrate.”Another development that has favored “grey games” is a change in the type of videogames available on the market. Theres a greater variety of games to choose from, including more intellectual and complex strategy（策略）and simulation（模拟）games. Internet Chess and Train

30、 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 ski

31、lls required for computer games, and that teenagers are better. This couldnt be further from the truth. Most computer games require the kind of analytical thinking that improves with practice, which means that the “grey gamers: may well be far better than gamers half a century younger than them. In games where speed is the main consideration, older people would be at a disadvantage because they may have slower reaction time. On the other hand, “grey gamers” have a preference for shower paced, mind challenging games.
