问题    In the past several years, much has been written about suicides(自杀) and their connection to high unemployment rates in Japan. Dire statistics show that in the years since 1998, Japan’s suicide numbers have topped (居于……最高) the 30,000 mark (标记) annually.
   Newsweek and Time magazines have both covered the phenomenon, and each time one of the regular Japanese language newspapers comes out with a higher unemployment figure, they tie them together with the growing suicide problem, and with a great deal of justification(理由).
   There is an unhappy little spot near the base of Mount Fuji called the Aokigahara woods which happens to be one of the most infamous places in Japan for suicidal people to do themselves in. According to figures released by the Fuji-Yoshida police station in Yamanashi Prefecture this year, approximately 78 suspected suicide victims were found hanging from the trees, an increase from the former record of 73 found back in 1998.
   Statistics from the World Health Organization show that the majority of suicide victims are males from age 40 to the mid-60s. Many of these men committed suicide because of a feeling of dishonoring the family name. Others simply watched their companies let them go after years of devoted  work, and couldn’t find gainful employment because of their age.
选项 A、An unhappy spot.
B、High unemployment rates.
C、A feeling of dishonoring the family name.
D、An unhappy marriage.
答案 B
解析 第一段的第一句话就说到数年前人们认为在日本，自杀与失业有着紧密的联系。
