專八改錯(cuò)練習(xí)第二十九篇：

Aimlessness has hardly been typical of the postwar Japanwhose
productivity and social harmony are the envy of the UnitedStates
and Europe.But increasingly the Japanese is seeing a decline oftheir __1__
traditional work-moral values. Ten years ago young people were
hardworking and saw their jobs as their primary reason forbeing,
but now Japan has large fulfilled its economic needs, and young people __2__
don't know where they should go next.
The coming of the age of the postwar baby boom and an entry __3__
of women into the male-dominated job market has limited the opportunities __4__
of teen-agers who are already questioning the heavy personal
sacrifices involved climbing Japan's rigid social ladder to good __5__
schools and jobs. In a recent survey, it was found that only 24.5
percent Japanese students were fully satisfied with school life,compared __6__
with 67.2 percent of students in the United States. In addition, far
more Japanese workers expressed dissatisfaction with their jobs than
did their counterparts in the 10 countries surveyed. __7__
While often praised by foreigners for its emphasis on the basics.
Japanese education tends to stress test taking and mechanic learning __8__
over creativity and self-expression. Last year Japan experienced 2,125
incidents of school violence, including 929 assaults on teachers.
Amid the outcry, many conservative leaders are seeking a return
to the prewar emphasis on moral education. Last year Mitsuo Detoyama,
who was then education minister, raised his eyebrow when he argued __9__
that liberal reforms introduced by the American occupation authorities
after World War II had weakened the "Japanese morality of respect of parents." __10__

答案及解析(反白可見):
--are
the加上形容詞一類人的時(shí)候后面應(yīng)用動(dòng)詞的復(fù)數(shù)形式，如：The old receive particular respect inChinese society.
-largely
這里large是修飾fullfilled的，所以應(yīng)改為largely，表示“大部分地”，如：The fundis largely financedthrough government borrowing.
（age）--/
動(dòng)詞詞組come of age表示“已成年”，中間不用任何冠詞，所以它一旦變?yōu)?ing形式仍然保持原樣。另外要避免將原句誤讀成The coming of ,the age of the postwar baby boom,這樣斷句意思解釋不通。
--have
有兩個(gè)原因限制了青少年進(jìn)好的學(xué)校找到好的工作，這兩個(gè)原因由and連接作并列主語(yǔ)，所以謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞應(yīng)該用復(fù)數(shù)。
ed^--in
involved后面少了in，表示“關(guān)于，涉及到”，如All the children were involved in the school play.
6.^Japanese--of
當(dāng)percent做名詞時(shí)，它后面應(yīng)加上介詞of，如：
The report states that 42 percent of the alunmi contributed to the endowment.　
當(dāng)percent作形容詞或者副詞時(shí)，則不加of。如：
There has been a ten percent increase in the number of new students arriving at polytechnic thisyear.
7.^countries--other
從上句話中可知道Japan也參與了這次普查，因此在這句話里的比較結(jié)構(gòu)中Japan應(yīng)和其他10個(gè)同意參加普查的國(guó)家進(jìn)行比較，所以應(yīng)注明是10 other countries。
ic--mechanical
mechanic是名詞，表示“制造工，技工”，所以這里應(yīng)把它改為mechanical表示“機(jī)械的”。
w--eyebrows
toraise one's eyebrow 表示“（某事）引起（某人）的驚訝或不贊同”，如：
He raised his eyebrows over some of the suggestions.
--for
respect 后面通常跟for接人，表示“對(duì)（某人）的尊重”，如：respect for the old。?
