Read the following passage and choose the correct word or phrase that best fits each of the blanks.
The number of students committing suicide because they fail the university entrance exams has been increasing year after year, which is really alarming to society.
Psychologists say that in the thoughts of the young people who committed suicide because of the exam failure, the value of life is measured by the exam marks. The problem here is the students’ about the life value, which is believed to be generated by the “achievement disease” prevalent in Vietnam’s education. Students are always told that they have high marks and follow university education, if they want to be successful in their lives. At home, parents tell their children that passing the university exams is a must. At school, teachers tell their students to exactly follow the ways they want. Students only have 12 years to fulfill the dream of their parents and become excellent students as they are told to do. , a lot of students seem to have only one way to follow when they fail the exams: committing suicide to hide from the shame they cause to and their families. Psychologists have rung the alarm bell over the increasingly high number of students committing suicide in the last few years, saying that the figure shows that Vietnamese students feel puzzled when they try to escape crisis and stress.
