David Beckham is the king of the football world, but it is his wife Victoria, former "Posh Spice" girl, who makes it possible. She was the person who turned him from a footballer into a global attractor. Even now that he has left Manchester United for Royal Madrid, instead of Barcelona or Milan, it might be because of her.
"Posh Spice" has become a name for Victoria. The Collins Dictionary even has the term "Posh and Beckham" (Victoria and Beckham).
Before meeting Victoria Adams, Beckham was a good-looking and likeable footballer with a bright future at Manchester United, but that was about all.
Since he married her in 1999, he has become the most famous player British sports have ever produced, and, some say, the most influential man in the country. "When they got together, she was clearly the more popular of the two." said Andrew Parker, a sports expert at Warwick University in Britain. "She certainly introduced him to a new circle of people and, all of a sudden, he was a top list celebrity."
It’s believed that, behind the high walls and iron gates of their "Beckingham Palace", it is Victoria who decides everything.
When their baby boy, Brooklyn, fell in 2000, Beckham left a United training session to look after him, and this led to his being dropped from the team. Many were sure it was Victoria who has asked her husband to stay at home. During a trip to the United States this year, Victoria has worked hard to push her husband to the US public. They would not have recognized him if they met him in a car park.
She may appear to have taken a back seat, but Victoria is still at the forefront of the "Posh and Back" project.
From the passage, we can conclude that at home______.

Which of the following is NOT true according to this passage？
【C20】
Defenders of the system argue that those who call it inefficient do not understand how it really works, In the first place not every Japanese worker has the guarantee of a lifetime job. The lifetime employment system includes only "regular employees". Many employees do not fall into this category, including all women. All businesses have many part-time and temporary employees. These workers are hired and laid off during the course of the business cycle just as employees in the United States are. These "irregular workers" make up about 10 percent of the nonagricultural work force. Additionally, Japanese firms maintain some flexibility through the extensive use of subcontractors. This practice is much more common in Japan than in the United States.
The use of both subcontractors and temporary workers has increased markedly in Japan since the 1974—1975 recession. All this leads some to argue that the Japanese system is not all that different from the American system. During recessions Japanese corporations lay off temporary workers and give less business to subcontractors. In the United States, corporations lay off those workers with the least seniority. The difference then is probably less than the term "lifetime employment" suggests, but there still is a difference. And this difference cannot be understood without looking at the values of Japanese society. The relationship between employer and employee cannot be explained in purely contractual terms. Firms hold on to the employees and employees stay with one firm. There are also practical reasons for not jumping from job to job. Most retirement benefits come from the employer. Changing jobs means losing these benefits. Also, teamwork is an essential part of Japanese production. Moving to a new firm means adapting to a different team and at least temporarily, lower productivity and lower pay.
