They feel heavy pressuresfrom their parents. Most students a re always told by their parents to study harder and better so t hat they can have a wonderful life in the future. Though this may be a good idea for those very bright students, it can hav e terrible results for many students who are not gifted enoug h. Many of them have tried very hard at school but have faile d in the exams and have their parents lose hope. Such studen ts felt that they are hated by everyone else they meet and the y don‟t want to go to school any longer. They become dropo uts.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 t hat it is the teachers‟ work to help their children. To make ma tters worse, a lot of parents serif their children to those schoo ls opening in the evenings and on weekends — they only hel p the students to pass the exams and never teach them any r eal sense of the world.Many Japanese schools usually have rules about everything fr om the students‟ hair to their clothes and things in their scho ol bags. Child psychologists now think that such strict rules ar e harmful to the feelings of the students.

Since I believed that a long night was wa iting 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 the TV the baby became quiet right awa y and fixed his little eyes brightly on the screen. Not willing to waste an opportunity for sleep, I then tiptoed out of the roo m, leaving him to watch the boring TV programs.I heard no more of the baby‟s crying that night and the next morning when I went into his room, I found him still watching TV by himself. I found there was a metaphor(暗喻) in my baby‟s 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 di d not feel comfortable. And so it is in the schools with my stu dents. I find that our students don‟t read and they look down upon reading and make light of those of us who teach it. All t hey want to do is watch TV. After this experience with the bab y, however, I have drawn a conclusion: “Let them watch it!” I f television is that much more attractive to children than book s, why should we fight against it? Let them watch what they want！1. Why did the father bring a TV set into his son‟s room?A. To enjoy some interesting programs together with his son.B.

A person with a green thum b grows plants successfully and a white lie is not a bad lie.”“I don‟t understand. Please give me an example.”“For example, I offer you some cake. The truth is, you don‟t like my ca ke. You don‟t say that. Instead, you say, …No, thanks. I‟m not hungry.‟ That‟s a white lie.”“I see. Thanks for the explanati on.”1. I don‟t have a green thumb.
