Japanese Students Suffer from Pressure

Last April,15-year-old Rei Iwasaki stopped her piano and flute lessons and began to study every day of the week. Her parents paid to send her to a "cram school(灌输式教学模式的学校)." She wanted very much to pass her exams.

In February she did pass an all-day, five-subject examination and entered the high school she hoped to enter.

Thirteen-year-old Akio Yoshiwara wasn't so lucky. Unable to take the pressure of the exams, he hanged himself in February. He left a suicide(自杀) note which said, "I did my best in this dear life, but it's no good."

Suicides are now a common part of life among students in Japan. The cause is the incredible pressure of the "examination hell."

Even a number of teachers are committing suicide each year. When some students broke windows in a school near Tokyo, the principal blamed himself and wrote the following note: "The incidents were due to the lack of appropriate measures by the principal and I apologize. I am very tired. "

The Japanese educational system is much different from the American system. It is perhaps the most regimented(严密组织的) school system in any of the industrialized nations.

Boys and girls wear uniforms and go to school six days a week — 240 days a year compared to 180 in the U.S. Ninety-five percent graduate from high school compared to seventy-five percent in the U.S.

Students don't ask questions in class but only listen respectfully to the teachers. And every few year’s students are tested to see which school they will enter next. There is stiff competition for the "best" schools.

The result is a well-informed, disciplined student, ideal for factory and company work and excellent at learning specialized skills. But there is little fun in education, little creativity and the incredible pressure of "examination hell."

1.It's because ________ that many Japanese students committed suicide.

A. they didn't do their best in their lives

B. they were sent to a "cram school"

C. of the most regimented school

D. they were unable to take the pressure of the exams

2.Why did the principal kill himself?

A. He thought it was his fault that some students broke the windows.

B. He was very tired.

C. He couldn't stand the pressure of the "examination hell".

D. He blamed himself and wrote a note.

3.Which of the following ideas agrees with the title of the passage?

A. The Japanese students love to study under pressure.

B. The Japanese students do well under pressure.

C. The exams give the Japanese students much pressure.

D. The exams make the Japanese students commit suicide each year.

4.Which of the following is Wrong?

A. The American educational system is much different from the Japanese system.

B. To enter a high school, a student must pass an all-day, five-subject examination.

C. The Japanese graduates from high school are much less than the American graduates.

D. In Japanese education, there is little creativity as well as little fun.

Some pigs lend to be optimistic while others have a more pessimistic view, according to a new research that is meaningful to animal welfare. The study, published in the journal Biology Letters, is the first to show that mood and personality interact in an animal, influencing judgment.

Asher, a researcher at the University of Newcastle's Institute of Neurowcience, and her team housed groups of pigs in the two types of environments. One reflected sandard commercial conditions and the other was cushier with more space and plenty of sell, deep straw. After the pigs got accustomed to these new homes over a few weeks, the rescarchers picked 18 pigs from each type of housing arrangement to train and test their judgment.

"To do this, we trained each pig that in one corner of a training room there would be a bowl with chocolate sweets — specifically M&Ms, pigs love M&Ms — and in a bowl at the opposite side of the room there would be a bowl that would contain coffee beans, which pigs find bitter-tasting," senior author Lisa Collins of the University of Lincoln's School of Life Sciences said.

Over a number of training trials, pigs learned to go to the bowl reliably when it was in the corner where they had figured out to expect M&Ms. On the contrary, they quickly learned to avoid the bowl when it wasn't in the corner where they would expect to find the coffee beans.

The rescearchers next placed an unfamimliar bowl in different locations, to see how the pigs would react. Some gaily dashed to the bowl no matter what, exhibiting optimism that it would contain their favorite foods. Others, however, behaved as though they expected it to contain coffee beans, displaying pessimism.

The findings suggest that a one-size-fits-all answer to animal welfare issues does not exist. Even if pigs are just equal to bacon or other meal for some people, there is still cause for concern. Students have suggested that how an animal is treated during its lifetime can directly affect meal quality and taste.

1.What was the study devoted to figuring out?

A. The influence of pigs' living environment.

B. The influence between humans and pigs.

C. The didferences of two types of pigs' personality.

D. The relationship between pigs' mood and judgment.

2.What does the underlined word “cushier” in Paragraph 2 mean?

A. simple. B. more comfortable.

C. non-profitable. D. less free.

3.Which bowl can test whether a pig is optimistic or pessimistic?

A. The bowl with chocolate sweets.

B. The bowl containing coffee beans.

C. The bowl full of both sweets and beans.

D. The bowl unfamiliar to two types of pigs.

4.What do the findings of the new research imply?

A. People should treat pigs equally.

B. People's health relies on meat quality.

C. People should meet pigs' various needs.

D. People's attitude toward pigs is totally wrong.

You may have grown up living with sisters and brothers, or this may be your first time sharing your living space with someone else. 1.However, it can also be a great part of your college experience.

Standing in line for the latest iPhone at the Apple store, queuing for tickets to Wimbledon or even just waiting at the post office might just have got a lot easier. Japanese car-maker Nissan announces that it has just the thing to relieve the painful legs of tired queuers.

The new system of ‘self-driving’ chairs is designed to detect when someone at the front of the queue is called, and automatically move everyone else one step forward in line. The new invention is shown off in a company video, which shows a busy restaurant with patrons waiting outside.

In the video, diners are sitting in a row of chairs, but will not have to stand when the next hungry diner is called to a table. Instead, the chairs, equipped with autonomous technology that detects the seat ahead, move along a path toward the front of the line. When the person at the front of the queue is called, the empty chair at the front can sense it is empty and so moves out of pole position. Cameras on the remaining chairs then sense the movement and follow automatically.

The system, which is similar to the kind used in Nissan's autonomous vehicle technology, will be tested at select restaurants in Japan this year, Nissan said. “It appeals to anyone who has queued for hours outside a crowded restaurant: it eliminates the boredom and physical pain of standing in line,” Nissan added.

Although Tokyo has some 160,000 restaurants, long queues are not uncommon. Chosen restaurants that meet the criteria will be able to show the chairs outside their restaurant next year. Nissan also released a short video showing the chairs being used in an art gallery, moving slowly in front of the various paintings to let viewers appreciate the art without the need to stand up.

1.What can we know about “self-driving” chairs from the text?

A. They are in hot demand like iPhones.

B. They are intended for queuing diners.

C. They are the inventions of a car company.

D. They are completely different from vehicle technology.

2.Which enables the chairs to detect the seat ahead?

A. Pole position.

B. Autonomous technology.

C. Camera equipped on them.

D. Sensors equipped along the path.

3.Which of the following can replace the underlined word “eliminates” in Paragraph 4?

A. rids. B. ignores. C. steals. D. hides.

4.What can be inferred from the last two paragraphs?

A. Queuing is a rare scene outside Japanese restaurants.

B. “Self-driving ” chairs are the most useful in art galleries.

C. Japanese people prefer eating in restaurants to at home.

D. “Self-driving” chairs haven’t been in official use in restaurants.

1. Figure out what you're scared of and do it continuously.

But don't stop on the first try! Eventually, you can look at fear in the eyes and say, "Go on, I'm not scared!"

2. 3.

4. A simple 9-minute run around your neighborhood can do wonders for yourself.Exercise can not only help you maintain your regular weight, but also make you feel better about yourself.
