If parents’ aim(目標(biāo)) is only to make a child be a genius(天才), they will cause a disaster. Several leading educational psychologists(心理學(xué)家) say this is one of the biggest mistakes that can cause great problems to children.

However, if parents are a little gentler, the child may act successfully—especially if the parents can support him. Michael Li is very lucky. He is very fond of music, and his parents help him a lot by taking him to concerts and inviting a teacher to give him personal piano lessons. They even drive him 59 kilometers twice a week for violin lessons. Although Michael’s mother knows very little about music, Michael’s father plays the piano very well. However, he never makes Michael enter music competitions if he is unwilling.

Michael’s friend, Winston Chen, however, is not so lucky. Although both his parents are successful musicians(音樂家), they set too high a standard for Winston. They want their son to be as successful as they are, so they enter him in every piano competition held. They are very unhappy when he does not win. “When I was your age, I used to win every competition I entered,” Winston’s father tells him. Winston is always afraid that he will disappoint(使…失望) his parents and now he always seems quiet and unhappy.

1.One of the worst mistakes any parent can make is to __________.

A. pay much attention to their child’s education

B. push the child into trying to achieve too much

C. make their child become a musician

D. help their child to succeed in the future

2. Michael Li is lucky because __________.

A. his father knows music and teaches him much

B. his parents are rich enough to support him

C. his mother doesn’t know much about music

D. his parents help him in a wise way

3.The two examples show that __________.

A. it is important to let children develop in their own way

B. it is successful to let children develop without others’ help

C. successful parents often have unsuccessful children

D. the more you help your children, the less they can achieve

The clock struck eleven at night. The whole house was quiet. Everyone was in bed except me. Under the strong light, I looked sadly before a huge pile of troublesome stuff they call “books”.

I was going to have my examination the next day. "When can I go to bed?" I asked myself. I didn’t answer, in fact I dared not.

The clock struck 12. "Oh, dear!" I cried, "ten more books to read before I can go to bed!” We pupils are the most wretched creatures in the world. Dad does not agree with me on this. He did not have to study so hard when he was a boy ."

The clock struck one. I was quite hopeless now. I forgot all I had learned. I was too tired to go on. I did the only thing I could. I prayed, “Oh, God, Please help me pass the exam tomorrow. I do promise to work hard afterwards, Amen.” My eyes were heavy, so heavy that I could hardly open them. A few minutes later, with my head on the desk, I fell asleep.
