Question

你喜欢你现在的学习模式吗？你满意你的父母对你的管理方式吗？下面我们可以看一看日本的教育状况，看看能否对我们有所启示？

　　Japanese students work very hard but many are unhappy. They feel heavy pressure from their parents to do well in school. Most students are always being told by their parents to study harder so that they can have a wonderful life. Though this may be a good idea for those very bright students, it can have terrible results for many students because they are not gifted enough.

　　As it is reported, a number of students kill themselves. Others try to get good feelings by taking drugs. Some join groups of trouble－makers and turn to crime. Many of them have tried very hard at school but have failed in the exams and find they have caused their parents to lose hope. Such students feel that they are hated by anyone else they meet and they don't want to go to school any longer. They become dropouts.

　　It is surprising that though most Japanese parents are worried about their children, they do not help them in any way. Many parents feel that they are not able to help their children and that it is the teachers' work to help their children. To make matters worse, a lot of parents send their children to schools in the evenings and on weekends. They only help students to pass exams and never teach students any real sense of the world. It is a great surprise that almost three quarters of middle school students have been to such kind of schools.

　　Many Japanese schools usually have rules about everything from the students' hair to their clothes and the things in their schoolbags. Child psychologists now think that such strict rules are harmful to the emotions of the students. Almost 40% of the students say that no one has taught them how to get on with others, how to tell right from wrong, or how to show love for others, even for their parents.

Answer 1

答案：A;B;C;D
解析：

参考译文：：日本学生学习非常努力但是他们并不愉快。他们总是因为感受到来自于他们父母的压力而拼命学习。绝大多数的家长总是告诉孩子要努力学习，为了今后能够过上快乐的生活。虽然这对于聪明的学生不失为一个好想法，但是对于许多学生来说将带来很负面的结果，因为多数学生天资一般。 　　据报道，许多学生自杀，另一些学生通过服食药品获得解脱，一些学生加入了滋事者的行列并且导致犯罪。他们中的许多人曾在学校努力奋斗过，但是考试经常不及格，他们发现他们的父母对他们彻底失望了。他们感到他们被周围的人所厌弃，他们再也不想上学了。他们成为了逃学者。 　　令人吃惊的是，虽然绝大多数家长为孩子担心，但是他们对孩子却一点忙都帮不上。许多家长觉得他们没有帮助孩子的能力，那是学校老师的事情。把事情搞得更为糟糕的是，他们把孩子送进夜校和周末班。他们只能帮助孩子考试及格，但是却从来没有教给孩子面对世界的感受。几乎3/4的在校学生都上过这类学校。 　　许多学校有严格的校规。从学生的头发到他们书包里的东西都有严格的规定。儿童心理学家现在认为，如此严格的规定是伤害学生感情的。几乎有40％的学生说没有人教他们如何与人相处，如何分辨是非，如何表达爱意，甚至是对父母的爱。
