Most students are always being told by their parents to study harder so that they can have a 13 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 14 in the exams and have their parents lose hopes. Such students felt that they are hated by everyone else they meet and they dont want to go to school any longer. They 15 drop-outs(弃学者).It is surprising that though most Japanese parents are 16 about their children, they do not help them in any 17 . 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 18 , 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 19 that such strict rules are harmful to the feelings of the students. Almost 40% of the students said that no one had 20 them how to get on with others, how to tell right from wrong, how to show love for others, even for their parents.( )11.A.early B. late C. hard ( )12.A.homework B. pressures C. pressure ( )13.A.wonderful B. sad C. poor ( )14.A.passed B. failed C. lost( )15.A.change B. become C. turn ( )16.A.worried B. interested C. thought ( )17.A.idea B. opinion C. way ( )18.A.good B. better C. worse( )19.A.think B. say C. write ( )20.A.studied B. taught C .asked 三、阅读理解(每小题2分，共10分)Maybe you have seen this in schools: some students are studying nearly all the time but they just pass their exams, while some others may spend much less time on their books but do much better in exams. How could this happen? People used to think that hard work is the only way to success. But now they have understood that smart work can make them succeed, too.Hard workers dont mind working for long hours, while smart workers always think of several different answers to these questions, “Why should I suffer this ?” “Isnt there a better way to do this?” Thanks to these people, we can use computers instead of the abacus now. Progres s in every field is the direct result of “try to find a better way” by smart workers.There was a large soap factory in Japan. Once it received an un usual letter from someone who complained that there was no soap in the soapbox he bought.How could empty soapboxes go out of the factory? The engineers checked the producing and packing. The producing was fine, but in about one in ten thousand cases, the packing machine (机器) let an empty soapbox go. There was no need to spend a lot of money repairing the machine for such a small problem. The engineer soon worked out a solution; he put a huge Xray machine and two large computers to find out the empty soapboxes. After teaching the workers how to use it, he sat down in his seat, exhausted.“Sir, we could have solved the problems in a much simpler and cheaper way，” a worker said.“Really? How？”“We can put a huge fan near the packing machine. The wind coming from the fan will blow away the empty boxes, leaving the other boxes with soap.”See, this is smart work. In order to succeed, we should not only work hard like the engineer, but also think smart like this worker.( )21.

Here are some suggestions: (1)Speak loud. When you are not confident, you cant do well what you want to do. Youspeak in a voice so low that other people can hardly hear you, try on speak loud enough so that people can hear you clearly. The high voice can help you become more confident.(2) Play sports. Physical exercise makes you tired but completely relaxed. A strong body helps you be full of confidence.(3)Encourage yourself. Write down a list of things you did during the day to see how many things you have done well. Did you finish your homework? Did you tell a joke that made everybody laugh? Give yourself praise(赞美) for the good things youve done. (4)Get rid of (消除) fear. Fear comes along with failure(失败). But its easy to overcome if you know that failure is part of your life. Dont hide your head just because you said something stupid last time. Try to start again and believe you can do better. (5) Pick up a hobby. If you like singing, sing as much as you can. In some ways, a hobby can make you outstanding. And it will make you happy and confident.46. How many suggestions can help you to be more confident?47.
