这段英文不明白，有老师能帮我解答下吗？

1. Last year Mitsuo Setoyama, who was then education minister, raised eyebrows when he argued the liberal reforms introduced by the American occupation authorities after World War Two had weakened the “Japanese morality of respect for parents.”

2. If experiments are planned and carried out according to plan as faithfully as the reports in the science journals indicate, then it is perfectly logical for management to expect research to produce results measurable in dollars and cents.
