If parents bring up a child with the sole aim of turning the child into a genius, they will cause a disaster.
According to several leading educational psychologists, this is one of the biggest mistakes which
ambitious parents make. Generally, the child will be only too aware of what his parents expect, and will
fail. Unrealistic parental expectations can cause great damage to children.
However, if parents are not too unrealistic about what they expect their children to do, but are ambitious
in a sensible way, the child may succeed in doing very well - especially if the parents are very supportive
of their child.
Michael Collins is very lucky. He is crazy about music, and his parents help him a lot by taking him to
concerts and arranging private piano and violin lessons for him. They even drive him 50 kilometers twice
a week for violin lessons. Michael’s mother knows very little about music, but his father plays the
trumpet in a large orchestra. However, he never makes Michael enter music competitions if he is
unwilling.
Winston Smith, Michael’s friend, however, is not so lucky. Both his parents are successful musicians,
and they set too high a standard for Winston. They want their son to be as successful as they are and so
they enter him for every piano competition held. They are very unhappy when he does not win. Winston
is always afraid that he will disappoint his parents and now he always seems quiet and unhappy.

Question 36: One of the serious mistakes parents can make is to ...................
A. push their child into trying too much B. make their child become a musician
C. neglect their child’s education D. help their child to become a genius
Question 37: Parents’ ambition for their children is not wrong if they ...................
A. force their children into achieving success
B. themselves have been very successful
C. arrange private lessons for their children
D. understand and help their children sensibly
Question 38: Who have criticized the methods of some ambitious parents?
A. Educational psychologists. B. Unrealistic parents.
C. Their children D. Successful musicians.
Question 39: The phrase “crazy about” in the passage mostly means ...................
A. “surprised at” B. “completely unaware of”
C. “confused about” D. “extremely interested in”
Question 40: Winston’s parents push their son so much and he ...................
A. cannot learn much music from them B. is afraid to disappoint them
C. has won a lot of piano competitions D. has become a good musician
Question 41: The word “unwilling” in the passage mostly means ..................
A. “getting ready to do something” B. “not objecting to doing anything”
C. “not wanting to do something” D. “eager to do something”
Question 42: The two examples given in the passage illustrate the principle that ..................
A. parents should let the child develop in the way he wants
B. successful parents always have intelligent children
C. successful parents often have unsuccessful children
D. parents should spend more money on the child's education

 In the United States, friendship can be close, constant, intense, generous and real, yet fade away in a
short time if circumstances change. Neither side feels hurt by this. Both may exchange Christmas
greetings for a year or two, perhaps a few letters for a while - then no more. If the same two people meet
again by chance, even years later, they pick up the friendship where they left off and are delighted.
In the United States, you can feel free to visit people's homes, share their holidays, or enjoy their lives
without fear that they are taking on a lasting obligation. Do not hesitate to accept hospitality because you
can’t give it in turn. No one will expect you to do so for they know you are far from home. Americans
will enjoy welcoming you and be pleased if you accept their hospitality easily.
Once you arrived there, the welcome will be fun, warm, and real. Most visitors find themselves readily
invited into many homes there. In some countries it is considered inhospitable to entertain at home,
offering what is felt as only home cooked food, not doing something for your guests." It is felt that
restaurant entertaining shows more respect and welcome. Or for other different reasons, such as crowded
space, language difficulties, or family customs, outsiders are not invited into homes.
In the United States, both methods are used, but it is often considered friendlier to invite a person to
one's home than to go to a public place, except in purely business relationship. So, if your host or hostess
brings you home, do not feel that you are being shown inferior treatment.
Don't feel neglected if you do not find flowers awaiting you in your hotel room, either. Flowers are very
expensive there; hotel delivery is uncertain; arrival times are delayed, changed or cancelled - so flowers
are not customarily sent as a welcoming touch. Please do not feel unwanted! Outward signs vary in
different lands; the inward welcome is what matters, and this will be real.

Question 43: In the United States, friendship will .................. if circumstances change.
A. change suddenly B. be destroyed
C. disappear gradually D. be broken
Question 44: Americans .................. their foreign friends to make a return for their hospitality.
A. hope B. hesitate C. never allow D. don’t expect
Question 45: The word “it” in paragraph 2 refers to ..................
A. hospitality B. obligation C. holiday D. money
Question 46: According to the passage, in some countries people prefer ..................
A. inviting outsiders into homes B. crowded space
C. inviting guests to restaurants D. family customs
Question 47: In the United States, inviting guests to a family dinner is .................. than inviting
them to a public place, except some situations.
A. less inferior B. less hospitable C. more natural D. more popular
Question 48: The word “respect” in the passage is closest in meaning to ..................
A. enthusiasm B. admiration C. inspiration D. suggestion
Question 49: According to the passage, which of the following NOT true?
A. Flowers are not customarily sent to guests.
B. Flowers are available at all time.
C. Flowers are signs of outward welcome.
D. Flowers are expensive.
Question 50: Which of the following is the best title for this passage?
