2.If parents bring up a child with the sole aim of turning the child into a genius, they will cause a big problem. 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 the parent expects, 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 reasonable way, the child may succeed in doing very well—especially if the parents are very supportive of their child. Michael Lee Chao Tin 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 a week for violin lessons. Although Michael’s mother knows very little about music, Michael’s father is a good trumpet player. However, he never makes Michael enter music competitions if he is unwilling. Michael’s friend, Winston Chiu Fang Weng, however, is not so lucky. Although both his parents are successful musicians, 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. “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 his parents and now he always seems quiet and unhappy.61.Which of the following mistakes are parents likely to make according to the passage?A.To neglect their child’s education.B.To help their child to be a genius.C.To expect too much of their child.D.To make their child become a musician.62.What should parents do in order to help their children succeed?A.They should push the children into achieving a lot.B.They should try to have their own successful careers.C.They should arrange private lessons for their children.D.They should understand and help their children in difficult times.63.Which of the following statements about Michael Lee’s parents is true?A.His father is a very poor player of trumpet.B.His parents are quite rich and have a car.C.His parents help him in a proper way.D.His mother knows much about music.64.Winston’s parents push their son so much that __________.A.he has succeeded in a lot of competitionsB.he is unhappy because he is not self-confidentC.he feels he cannot learn anything about music from themD.he has already become a better musician than his father65.The two examples illustrate the principle that __________.A.successful parents often have unsuccessful childrenB.it is important to let children develop in the way they wantC.parents who want their child to be musical should also be good musiciansD.the more money spent on a child’s education, the better the child will do

  • 第3题:

    I was 15 when I met my first real teacher, Mrs Geurin. I didn’t know her well at the time but I thought I hated her.In her first class, she asked us to write a piece about an influencial person, place or memory. I chose to write my lake house, a topic I had already written about and received a vast amount of praise for. Put simply, it was the place that my parents met and fell in love.This teacher knew about my original piece and she was not happy. Throught the school year,we would pass each other in the hall, never saying a word to each other.It was not until February of 2012 that we spoke at the most unusual of places, my father’s funeral. At first, I was angry that she showed up. Did she even care? She didn’t even know him! I stood, watching her give a deep bow to my father’s coffin, completely confused!It was not until she approached me that I realized she was crying even harder than I was.“Kali,” she said, “I am so sorry. My own father passed away just three weeks ago, and I completely feel your pain.” I was shocked. I understood that she had also lost her father, but I didn’t see the connection between us just yet. She had rejected my writing. That was not something that I was willing to so early forgive.A couple of weeks later, she went into my study hall and placed an envelope on my desk.In the letter, she told me her father, also had cancer, also passed away in six months’ time and he was her best friend too. It was not just this letter, but this act of kindness that taught me my,greatest life lesson. Losing has taught us both how to appreciate life. For that lesson, I am always grateful.

    it is difficult to understand Mozart’s letters and his music

    B

    there is little connection between his personality and his music

    C

    Mozart gave us nothing of a clue about his music in his letters

    D

    his music is quite different from that of Beethoven or Wagner


    正确答案: B
    解析:
    推断题。第四段第一句提到了Mozart Problem,指出“这就是我所说的因此Mozart Problem…”,可知Mozart Problem应在前文提及。第三段第一句提到“你无法明白驱动他的动力是什么,也无法理解从他体内呼之而出的乐曲”。接下来一句指出“at any rate useless, to seek for internal ones either”,可知人们难以从莫扎特的作品中寻求其动力,也无法将他的作品和他的性格联系起来。因此选B。

  • 第18题:

    We experience a burst of pleasure when we share our thoughts,and this drives us to communlcate.It is a useful feature of our brain,because it ensures that knowledge,experience and ideas do not get buried with the person who first had them,and that as a society we benefit from the products of many minds.Of course,in order for that to happen,merely sharing is not enough.We need to cause a reaction.Each time we share our opinions and knowledge,it is with the intention of having an impact on others.Here's the problem,though:we approach this task from inside our own heads.When attempting to create impact,we reflect on what is persuasive to us,our state of mind.our desires and our goals.But if we want to affect the behaviours and beliefs of the person in front of us,we need to understand what goes on inside their head.


    答案:
    解析:
    我们在分享自己的想法时会感到一阵愉悦.正是这种感觉驱使我们进行交流。我们大脑的这个特点非常有用.因为它保证了知识、经验和想法不会随着它们最初的拥有者而遭到埋没;我们作为一个社会,则能从许多聪明人的成果中受益。当然,要使这种情况发生,单纯的分享是不够的。我们需要引起一个反应。我们每次分享自己的意见和知识时,正是抱着对他人施加影响的目的。但这正是问题所在:我们从自己的内心出发处理这件事情。当我们试图造成影响时,我们回想对我们具有说服力的东西.我们的精神状态,我们的渴望以及我们的目标。但我们如果想影响我们面前这个人的行为和想法,却需要理解他们的脑子里在想什么。
