17、 ride Passage3Japanese students work very bard but many are unhappy. They feel heavy pressures(压力) from their parents.

18、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 dont want to go to school an

19、y 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

20、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 thei

Since I believed that a long night was waiting for me ahead, I had no choice but to bring a TV into his room to kill off the hours until dawn. I was surprised that the moment I turned on

25、 the TV the baby became quiet right away and fixed his little eyes brightly on the screen. Not willing to waste an opportunity for sleep, I then tiptoed out of the room, leaving him to watch the boring TV programs. I heard no more of the babys crying that night and the next morning when I went into

26、his room, I found him still watching TV by himself. I found there was a metaphor(暗喻) in my babys behavior(行为) for the new generation. When I gave my boy some books to go over, he only spit upon them; when I read to him, he did not feel comfortable. And so it is in the schools with my students. I fin

27、d that our students dont read and they look down upon reading and make light of those of us who teach it. All they want to do is watch TV.

Yet many people do not seem to know that memory works in the same way. When someone says that he has a good memor

31、y, he really means that he keeps his memory in practice by using it. When someone else says that his memory is poor, he really means that he does not give it enough chance to become strong. If a friend says that his arms and legs are weak, we know that it is his own fault(过错). But if he tells us tha
