Japanese students work very hard 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 feel 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 send 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 （有伤害的）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 .

( )63. “Dropouts ” are those who _________ .

A. make troubles in and out of schools

Idioms are phrases and sentences that do not mean exactly what they say. Even if you know the meaning of each word you see or hear, you may not understand the idiom because you don't understand the culture behind it.

For example, if an American boy asks his mother what's for dinner tomorrow, she may say "I'll play it by ear", that means she doesn't have plans for dinner and she will decide later. "Play by ear" used to mean playing music using the sheet music, but now people often use it when they're not talking about music.

There're many idioms in English. If you learn to use them, your English will be more vivid and colorful. English idioms are more common in spoken English. They can be difficult to remember sometimes. Next time when you hear somebody saying to you, "Give me a hand", you don't necessarily stretch out your hand to him/her, but you do need to be helpful. And when the situation is out of hand, you usually can do very little to manage all that. What about a green hand? It's not about the color of your hand! You're a green hand when you are very new at your work and don't have much experience. If you and your partner always work together hand in glove, you two definitely work together very well.

Can you guess the meanings of some common English idioms to do with parts of your body? ( )66. An idiom is _______.

A. a phrase or a sentence that means exactly what the words say

B. a phrase or a sentence that doesn't mean exactly what every word says

C. so difficult that nobody can understand

( )67. If a mother says "I'll play it by ear" to talk about the dinner, she means _______.

A. she will cook dinner while listening to music at the same time

B. she doesn't hear what others are talking about.

C. She doesn't have plans for dinner and will decide later

( )68. When one says "Can you give me a hand?", he means _______.

A. he needs to hold your hand.

B. he works well with you

C. he needs your help ( ) 69. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?

A. People use English idioms much more in spoken English than in written English.

B. To understand the culture behind an idiom is not important in understanding the idiom.

C. You may not understand an idiom even though you know the meaning of each word. ( ) 70. Here are 4 common English idioms to do with parts of your body and their meanings.

Can you match them?

1) to learn something by heart a. to depend on oneself

2) to have sticky fingers b. to know something very well

3) to stand on one's own feet c. to do something secretly

4) to go behind someone's back d. to have the habit of stealing

A. badc

Different weather makes people feel different . It influences （影响）health , intelligence （智力）and feelings .

In August , it is very hot and wet in the southern part of the United States . People there have heart trouble and other kinds of health problems during this month . In the Northeast and the Middle West , it is very hot at some times and very cold at other times . People in these states have more heart trouble after the weather changes in February or March .

The weather can also influence intelligence . For example , in a 1983 report by scientists , IQ （智商）of a group of students were very high when a very strong wind came , but after the strong wind , their IQ was 10% below . The wind can help people have more intelligence . Very hot weather , on the other hand , can make it lower . Students in many schools of the Untied States often get worse on exams in the hot months of the year （July and August ）.

Weather also has a strong influence on people’s feelings . Winter may be a bad time for thin people . They usually feel cold during these months . They might feel unhappy during cold weather . But fat people may have a hard time in hot summer . At about 18℃ , people become stronger .

Low air pressure （气压）may make people forgetful . People leave more bags on buses and in shops on low pressure days . There is a “good weather ” for work and health . People feel best at a temperature of about 18℃ .

Are you feeling sad , tired , forgetful , or unhappy today ? it may be the weather’s problem . ( ) 71. _________ can have a bad effect （作用）on health .
