Part 2. Questions 66 – 75 (2.0 points - 0.2/ each)
Read the passage below and choose the best
answer to each question
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 doesn’t win.
Winston is always afraid that he will disappoint his
parents and now he always seems quiet and
unhappy.

to _________.
A. push their child into trying too much B. help
their child to become a genius

if they __________.
A. force their children into achieving success B.

ambitious parents?

A. “getting ready to do something” B.“eager

C. “not objecting to doing anything” D.“not
wanting to do something”
74. All of the following people are musical EXCEPT
