B
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．
56．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
57．Because of their failure at school, some students take drugs to .
A．kill themselves B．seek comfort
C．disappoint their parents D．make trouble
58．What should be the best title of the passage?
A．Students' Pressure B．Students' Problems
C．The Negative（消極） Impact of Japanese Education
D．The Trouble in Japanese Schools
59．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
60．In ordinary Japanese schools， ．

TOKYO— At first glance, Japanese cellphones are young people’s favorites, with elegant design and quick access to the Internet. However, despite years of competition in overseas markets, Japan’s cellphone makers have little presence beyond the country’s shores.
The only Japanese cellphone maker with any meaningful global share is Sony Ericsson, and that company is a London-based joint venture(合資企業(yè))between a Japanese electronics maker and a Swedish telecommunications firm.
And Sony Ericsson has been hit by big losses. Its market share was just 6.3 percent in the first quarter of 2009, behind Nokia of Finland, Samsung Electronics and LG of South Korea, and Motorola of Illinois.
This year, Mr Natsuno, who developed a popular wireless Internet service called i-Mode, invited some of the best minds in the field to debate how Japanese cellphones could go global.
“The most amazing thing about Japan is that even the average person out there will have a very advanced phone, ”said Mr Natsuno. Japan has 100 million users of advanced third-generation smart phones, twice the number of the United States, a much larger market. Many Japanese rely on their phones, not a PC, for Internet access.
Indeed, Japanese cellphone makers thought they had positioned themselves to dominate（支配）the age of digital data. But they were a little too clever. In the 1990s, they set a standard for the second-generation network that was refused everywhere else. Then Japan quickly adopted a third-generation standard in 2001. However, it made Japanese phones too advanced for most markets.
Several Japanese companies are now considering a push into overseas markets, including NEC. Panasonic, Sharp, Toshiba and Fujitsu are said to be planning similar moves.
“Japanese cellphone makers need to either look overseas, or exit the business”, said Kenshi Tazaki, a managing vice president at the consulting firm Gartner Japan.
Through the first paragraph, the author intends to tell us that___________.
A.Japanese cellphones are popular with young people
B.Japanese cellphones don’t sell well abroad
C.Japanese cellphones are very advanced
D.Japanese cellphones are specially designed for young people
The cellphone company with the largest global market share is located in______.
A.Japan B.America C.South Korea D.Finland
Why are Japanese cellphone makers a little too clever?
A.Because their technical standards are too advanced to be accepted overseas.
B.Because they only produce advanced cellphones.
C.Because they used the second-generation network earlier than others.
D.Because their phones are more advanced than PCs.
Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?
A.Japanese cellphone companies are unsuccessful.
B.Japan has more cellphone users than the US.
C.Japanese cellphone industry intends to expand overseas markets.
D.Going global—a difficult task for Japanese companies.
