Since the mid-1970s, when it became clear that the number of births was resolutely declining, Japanese governments have made efforts to encourage people to have more babies. But for all that they have increased child benefits and provided day-care centres in the past 30 years, the birth rate has remained stubbornly low．One reason is that in Japan, unlike in the West, marriage is still more or less a prerequisite for having children．Only 2% of births take place out of wedlock. And weddings cost a lot of money. The more elaborate sort may involve renting a chocolate-box “church” and hiring or buying at least three bridal outfits.Having gone to all that trouble, married couples do, in fact, have an average of slightly more than two children, just above what is needed for births to exceed deaths. ① The trouble is that fewer and fewer people get married. Women wait ever longer and increasingly do not bother at all. According to the NIPSSR, six out of ten women in their mid-to-late 20s, which used to be the peak child-bearing age, are still unwed. ②But the cost of weddings may be the least of the reasons why the Japanese are increasingly putting off marriage or avoiding it altogether. One weightier one is that employment rates among women have increased but private companies implicitly discourage mothers from returning to their old jobs．Toshiaki Tachibanaki， an economist who has written on inequality among Japanese women, finds that about 80% of female civil servants return to their old jobs after having children because they get reasonable maternity benefits and help with childcare. ③ But in private companies they are typically less well looked after, and only about a third go back to work．It does not help that unemployment is high and incomes are low among the young-especially among young men, who increasingly give up even looking for jobs. One of Japan's most prominent sociologists, Masahiro Yamada of Chuo University, thinks that most young Japanese women still want to be housewives, but are struggling to find a breadwinner who earns enough to support them. ④ He points out that half the young people of prime marrying age—20-34—still live with their parents. In the 1990s he coined the term 'parasite singles' to describe them. They seemed to be getting a good deal, saving money on rent and spending it on foreign travel and luxury goods instead. If they wanted privacy, they could always go to one of Japan's ubiquitous love hotels.阅读以上文章，回答 97～101 题第 97 题 The word “prerequisite”in Paragraph One probably means __________．[A] premise[B] requirement[C] restriction[D] result

A middle-aged couple sits in front of a TV set. He flicks idly through a magazine, she holds a drink．An advertisement for Marks & Spencer, a British retailer, comes on. It is a humdrum domestic scene，one that could have been captured at any point in the past 50 years.The husband and wife are playing back a programme that they have captured on a digital video recorder-something they do often. They do not need to watch advertisements. Indeed, they claim never to do so. Whenever an ad comes on during a recorded programme, the husband says in an interview, he zips through it at 30 times the normal speed.Just outside Brighton, on England's south coast, Sarah Pearson watches people watch television. She has almost 100,000 hours of video showing utterly banal scenes-people channel-surfing, fighting over the remote control and napping. Her findings are astonishing. There turns out to be an enormous gap between how people say they watch television and how they actually do. This gap contains clues to why television is so successful, and why so many attempts to transform. it through technology have failed.In the past few years viewers have gained much more control over television. Video-cassette recorders have been replaced by DVD players and digital video recorders ( DVRs)，both of which are easier to use．Cable and satellite firms offer a growing number of videos on demand. TV has gone online and become mobile．As a result, viewers’ expectations have changed dramatically．Katsuaki Suzuki of Fuji Television，Japan's biggest broadcaster, says nobody feels they need to be at home to catch the 9 p.m. drama any more.①But a change in expectations is not quite the same as a change in behaviour．Although it is easier than ever to watch programmes at a time and on a device of one's choosing, and people expect to be able to do so, nearly all TV is nonetheless watched live on a television set．② Even in British homes with a Sky + box, which allows for easy recording of programmes, almost 85 % of television shows are viewed at the time the broadcasters see fit to air them．③“People want to watch ‘Pop Idol’ when everyone else is watching it,” says Mike Darcey of BSkyB．If that is not possible, they watch it as soon as they can afterwards. Some 60% of all shows recorded on Sky + boxes are viewed within a day.阅读以上文章，回答 92～96 题第 92 题 According to the passage, the husband is __________．[A] a programmer[B] an interviewee[C] a producer[D] an employee
