解放军文职招聘考试日本学生所受到的压力

 Japanese students work very bard but many are unhappy. They feel heavy pressures(压力) from their parents. Most students are always told by their parents to study harder and better so that they can have a wonderful life in the future. Though this may be a good idea for those very bright students, it can have terrible results for many students who are not gifted(有天赋的) enough. Many of them have tried very hard at school but have failed in the exams and have their parents lose hope. Such students felt that they are hated by everyone 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 serif their children to those schools opening in the evenings and on weekends — they only help the students to pass the exams and never teach them any real sense of the world.

Many Japanese schools usually have rules about everything from the students’ hair to their clothes and things in their school bags. Child psychologists(心理学家) now think that such strict rules are harmful to the feelings of the students. Almost 40% of the students said that no one had taught them how to get on with others, how to tell right from wrong and how to show love and care for others, even for their parents.

【答案与解析】这是一篇关于日本学生所受到的沉重的压力的文章。家长的过高期望，日本学校严格的制度都使得一些学生丧失了上学的兴趣，甚至不懂得如何和他人相处。

1. B。词义锖测题。根据 Such students felt that they are hated by everyone else they meet and they don’t want to go to school any longer(这样的学生觉得他们被所有认识的人讨厌，他们不想再去学校)可推知答案为 B。

2. D。细节题。由第2段的最后一句我们知道：They only help the students to pass the exam，所以 … teach students how to study well 是必要的，而第3段最后一句也说 no one taught them how to get on with others，即A、B、C皆是正确的，故选 D。

3. D。主旨题。这是文章主旨题。由全文看来，每一段都脱离不了“学生所受到的压力”这个中心，所以“日本学生的压力”是最适合的标题。
