　　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 harder so that they can have a wonderful life when they grow up. Though this may be a good idea for those very bright students, it can have terrible results for many students who aren't gifted (天赋) enough. Many of them have tried very hard at study 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 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 sent 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 very real sense of the world.

　　Many Japanese schools usually have rules about everything from the students to their clothes and things in their schoolbags. Child psychologists (心理学家) now think that such strict rules are harmful 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.

1．Dropouts are those who ________.

[　　]

A．make troubles in and out of school
