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
28、 they are hated by everyone else they meet and they dont want to go to school any longer. They become dropouts.

To make matters worse, a lot of parents send their children to those schools which open 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.

30、 three-quarters of middle school students have been to such kind of schools.Many Japanese schools usually have rules about everything from the students hair to their clothes and the things in their school bags.

CToday just as technology changed the face of industry, farmers have undergone an agricultural revolution. On the farm of today, machines provide all t
36、he power.One of the most important benefits will be the farm computer. A few forward-looking farmers are already using computers to help them run their farms more efficiently.

37、ock to buy, when to sell their products, and how much profit they can expect. Many computer companies have been developing special computer programs just for farmers. Programs are being written for hog(猪) producers ,grain farmers, potato farmers, and dairy farmers. In the future, farmers will be abl
38、e to purchase computer programs made to their needs. Because of the growing importance of computers on the farm, students at agricultural colleges are required to take computer classes in addition to their normal agricultural courses.

46、Farmers in the Future C. The Agricultural Revolution D. Computers and Robots DSharks have lived in the oceans for over 450 million years, long before dinosaurs appeared. There are now about 360 species of sharks, whose size, behavior, and other characteristics differ widely.Every year, we catch and
47、kill over 100 million sharks, mostly for food and for their fins. Dried shark fins are used to make shark fin soup, which sells for as much as $50 a bowl in fine Hong Kong restaurants. Other sharks are killed for sport and out of fear. Sharks are vulnerable to overfishing because it takes most speci
48、es10 to 15 years to begin reproducing and they produce only a few offspring. Influenced by movies and popular novels, most people see sharks as people-eating monsters. This is far from the truth.
