第二节：完形填空（共20小题，每小题1.5分，满分30分）
School children are now constantly asked by their parents and teachers to study harder and harder. And the competition 36    the students themselves is growing in most schools in China. In my opinion, the fierce（激烈的）  37  in school    38  more harm than good.
　　Visiting a German city, I was   39  to be present at a parent-teacher meeting at a school.   40 were told at the meeting that their children's school grades were held to be a personal information   41  by the law, and that the school would not disclose（透露）the students' marks,  42  would the school report them to the parents. It is their view that a   43  school should encourage children to learn  44 without pressure. A student's intelligence（智力）and ability will be  45  later by competition in society.
　　In China, ranking students according to their examination has been   46  as a means of encouraging students to study harder.
　　A friend told me about a parent-teacher meeting she  47  with her daughter who was in the second grade.
　　At the meeting, a teacher read aloud   48  students in the class and their marks for different   49 . Good students came at the top of the list and poor   50   at the bottom. And in front of everybody at the meeting, the teacher gave warning   51  those poor students and their parents.
　　From this comparison, I   52  that teachers and school leaders in China ought to learn   53  more about children's psychology（心理学）and show their students more   54  . Such competition among students is unhealthy and should not be  55 .
