【題目】Japanese students work very hard but many are unhappy. They feel heavy pressures 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 wonderful life. Though this may be good ideas for those very bright students，it can have very bad results for many students who are not quick enough at learning.

Unfortunately, a number of students killed themselves. Others are after comfort in using drugs. Some do bad things with trouble-makers and turn to crime. Many of them have tried very hard at school but have failed in the exams and have disappointed their parents. Such students feel that they are less important and leave school before they have finished their study.

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 send their children to special school called juku-cram schools. These schools are open during the evening and on weekends, and their only purpose is to prepare students to pass exams, they do not try to educate students in any real sense of the real world. It thus comes as a shock to realize that almost three quarters of the junior or high school population attend these cram schools.

Ordinary Japanese schools usually have rules about everything from the students' hair to their clothes and things in their school bag. Child psychologists now think that such strict rules often lead to a feeling of being unsafe and being unable to fit into society. They regard the rules as being harmful to the development of each student. They believe that no sense of moral values is developed and that students are given neither guidance nor training in becoming good citizens.

【1】A lot of Japanese students are unhappy at school because _______.

A．they work very hard

B．they find they can't do well at school

C．they feel unimportant

D．they are under too much pressure

【2】Because of their failure at school, some students take drugs to _______.

A．kill themselves B．seek comfort

C．disappoint their parents D．make trouble

【3】In juku-cram schools students _________．

A．a(chǎn)re taken good care of by the teachers

B．feel no pressure

C．a(chǎn)re trained to pass exams

D．can learn a lot of useful things

【4】In ordinary Japanese schools,______________ ．

A．there are strict rules B．students feel safe

C．students can do anything D．learning is not important

【題目】The Human Genome Project, a great $3 billion, 15-year task aimed at drawing the genetic map of humans, is now more than 90 percent completed. The scientific and medical communities are very excited about the chances genetic research provides for getting rid of diseases and prolonging human life. But those communities and policy makers are also careful about the scientific door they are opening as the project uncovers the mysteries of life.

For the last few years, the genetic advances in the fast developing field of biotechnology have provided material for all kinds of work, but the developments of modern science in unlocking the secrets of human genetic code have opened a world of possibilities for human health, as well as for the population imagination.

While European and Japanese researchers are making rapid progress in decoding human DNA, the leading organization for genetic research in the Untied States, which began in 1990, is “unlocking the code” of the human body to learn how to defeat fatal diseases. Already, the Human Genome Project has become widely known and praised for finding the genes connected with as yet terrible diseases, and making progress toward separating the genes that show a sign of breast cancer or AIDS.

Once these genes are found and studied, researchers can develop new ways to attack infections, and genetic diseases. Medical companies are very interested in mapping the human genome; as they expect to develop a lot of new drugs for these illnesses.

A. Because the human genome can destroy many illnesses.

B. Because the genetic map’s completion can help to get rid of many diseases.

C. Because they wanted to be better known than others.

D. Because the Human Genome Project can provided a lot of chances of work.

【2】According to the passage, which of the following countries is the most advanced in genetic research?

A. Japan B. Germany C. The United States D. China

【3】According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true?

A. If the genes can be found, scientists can study many new ways to cure illnesses.

B. The United States began genetic research early in the 19th century.

C. Many medical companies show great interest in drawing the human genome map.
