RELIGION IN JAPAN 
The native religion of Japan is Shintou, an indigenous folk religion that finds spirits abounding in nature. 
There is no formal creed, or indeed much of any philosophy behind it. It basically allows followers a way of 
currying favour with various gods so as to receive good luck. Even today, many older Japanese will, when 
walking past a shrine, turn and bow to the spirits within. 
Mahayana Buddhism arrived in Japan in the 6th century. Over the centuries, it grew in prestige and 
divided into sects. Today, the most well-known forms of Japanese Buddhism are Souka Gakkai - the quasi-
political religious group that has significant political clout - and Zen Buddhism.

Shintou and Buddhism have a long and intertwined history in Japan, and it is only in the past hundred 
years or so that they have been separated. Even today things can be confusing, as the design of Shintou 
shrines and Buddhist temples can look very much alike. The key tip: If there's a torii (a large, two-legged arch) 
standing at the entrance of the grounds, it's a Shintou shrine; if not, it's a Buddhist temple. 
A visit to a shrine first involves the visitor washing his hands and mouth at a pool in front of the shrine. 
Then he will make an offering of money, ring the gong, bow twice, clap twice and bow twice more. 
To an outsider's eyes, there are a few differences with regards to religion as it is practised in Japan. 
The most obvious is that in Japan it is perfectly permissible - indeed, almost expected - that people can be both 
Buddhist and Shintoist at the same time. Many Japanese, for example, will get married in a Shintou ceremony, 
but will have Buddhist rites at their funerals. 
In fact, many Japanese ...y find some differences in the way Japanese practise Buddhism 
 B. will be surprised with the Buddhist rites at Japanese funerals 
 C. may find a Shintou wedding ceremony strange 
 D. has to become a Shintoist if he wants to settle in Japan 
Question 14: Japansese people may feel worried when they see ______. 
 A. a person who appears secretly religious B. a proselytiser of some religion on the street 
 C. someone who is too moderate in his religion D. a person who is extreme in his religion 
Question 15: Today little people in Japan are interested in ______. 
 A. the aesthetics of Zen B. considering intangible issues 
 C. taking strong moral stands D. enjoying themselves

In the United States and other developed countries, air-conditioning is so common that it is difficult to 
remember what life was like before it existed. First invented in 1902 in Buffalo, New York, air-conditioning keeps 
homes, cars, offices, and shoppịng centers cool and dry, all at the push of a button. While many may consider 
air-conditioning one of life's necessary luxuries, few are aware of how air-conditioning has changed many 
aspects of the way we now live. One of the first areas where air-conditioning had ạn impact was in industry. In 
the early 1900s factory owners began to use air- conditioning to create better conditions for the storage of 
supplies. Before long, however, they realized that air-conditioning was also useful on the factory floor, as it 
resulted in higher production levels. Air-conditioning has undoubtedly been an important factor in the growth of 
industry, since it allows manufacturing to continue at the same pace year round even in the warmest climates. 
Air-conditioning next became common in movie theaters, offlces, and stores. Then, after the end of the 
Second World War, smaller, less exp
