19、learning can come to you many times.【10】the research paper is an active and individual process, and ideal learning process. It provides a structure【11】which you can make exciting discoveries, of knowledge and of self, that are basic to education. But the research paper also gives you a chance to ind
20、ividualize a school assignment, to【12】a piece of work to your own interests and abilities, to show others【13】you can do. Writing a research paper is more than just a classroom exercise. It is an experience in【14】out, understanding and synthesizing, which forms the basis of many skills【15】to both aca

26、 Japanese desire for marriage had been very strong. In the fifth “world youth altitude survey“【1】by the Management and Coordination Agency in 1993, over 70 percent of the Japanese 【2】chose the answers “One should get married. “ or “Its better to get married. “ Of the 11 countries surveyed, Japan was
27、【3】only by the Philippines in the percentage advocating marriage【4】opposed to a single life.In recent years, however, there has been a spreading recognition among the Japanese public that something【5】is happening in peoples attitudes toward marriage.When they began to have adequate food, clothing an
28、d shelter and thus became able to【6】their attention to other matters, the Japanese for the first time【7】a renewed look at the question of marriage. In the 1990s, people began to ask “What on earth is marrage anyway?“ and to talk about marriage itself.In Japan, the proportion of men still unmarried i
29、n their thirties reached about 20 percent in the national census taken in 1985 and the【8】apparently exceeded 30 percent in 1995. The proportion of unmarried women in the 25-29 age bracket has been increasing【9】about 5 percent every five years until it is now nearly 50 percent.What are the real reaso
30、ns women choose not to marry? Early on, two were【10】: women were now better educated and more women were interested in working outside the home. Many women have become【11】independent, acquiring enough self-confidence to【12】a meaningful life outside of marriage. And【13】seems to be a wide gap in the w
31、ay men and women view marriage. Women generally believe that,【14】womens roles in Japans postwar society have become diversified, men have essentially remained unchanged.【15】such circumstances, communication between the sexes is, in fact, far from easy.Besides that, in the postwar Japan, individualis
32、m has begun to take【16】. The 50 years since the end of the war are regarded as process of a【17】from the family-centered to the individual-centered way of thinking. In Japan today, society has matured to a point【18】it now tolerates a diversity of marriage styles which were unthinkable not very long a
33、go. In the future, such tolerance is almost【19】to increase. But a headlong plunge toward unbridled individualism is also dangerous. The ideal【20】may be to achieve a complementary fusion of the collectivism of Japans traditional community and the individualism of the new age.（A）practiced（B） conducted

Studies have addressed the problem of inadequate in

Both of these methods are, or were, used traditionally and are practical and inexpensive.Fermented foods have higher【20】and also have anti-microbial qualities. This means that contamination is decreased and t
40、hat their【21】is increased. Fermentation occurs when【22】is left to stand, occasionally with simple additives. There is, however, a trend away from this【23】to commercial products.76 The fitness movement that began in the late 1960s and early 1970s centered around aerobic exercise. Millions of individu
41、als became【1】 in a variety of aerobic activities, and【2】thousands of health spas【3】around the country to capitalize on this【4 】interest in fitness, particularly aerobic dancing for females. A number of fitness spas existed【5】to this aerobic fitness movement, even a national chain with spas in most m
