二.完形填空(共10小题;每小题2分，满分20分)

阅读下列短文，从每小题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出一个最佳选项。

Japanese students work very   16   , but many are unhappy.They feel heavy   17   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   18    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 talented enough.

As it is reported, a number of students killed themselves.Others try to get the feelings of taking drugs(吸毒). Some join the groups of troublemakers and turn to crime(犯罪). Many of them have tried very hard at school but have   19   in the exams and have their parents lose hopes.Such students felt that they are hated by everyone else they meet and they don’t want to go to school any longer.They  20     drop-outs(弃学者).

It is surprising that though most Japanese parents are    21   about their children, they do not help them in any  22   . Many parents feel that they are not able to help their children and it is the teachers’ work to help their children.To make matter   23   , a lot of parents send their children to those schools opening 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 bags.Child psychologists now   24   that such strict rules are harmful to the feelings of the students.Almost 40% of the students said that no one had  25   them how to get on with others, how to tell right from wrong, how to show love for others, even for their parents.
