4.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

    A

    Before, I thought that a man who was wise and good would become rich, but now I know this is not always true. I learned it from my teacher. He is both wise and good, but he is not rich at all. He may become rich if he gives up(放弃) teaching and goes into business. But he likes his job and thinks it,s wonderful to help young people. He stays at school from morning till night and works very hard. He always smiles at us when we go to ask him for help. He is kinder to us than any other teacher in our school. I think it must be easier to learn history or math than to learn how to become a man like him. He scolds(责备 ) us when we do something wrong,but it makes us try to do better.We all wish to study with him as long as possible. But that may be impossible. Some of us may become doctors, some become businessmen, some be- come engineers, some become writers, but we all want one thing very much. It is that we all want to be teachers in the future.

    From Ponzi to Madoff

    The year was 1920.The country was the United States of America. The man's name was Charles Ponzi.
    Ponzi told people to stop depositing money in a savings account.Instead,they should give it to him to save
    for them.Ponzi promised to pay them more than the bank.For example,a savings account might pay you$5
    a year for every $100 you deposit.Ponzi,however,would pay you $40 a year for every $ 100 you gave
    him to hold.Many people thought this was a good plan.They began to give their money to Ponzi.
    How could Ponzi make so much money for people?This is what he did with the money people gave him:
    He used some of that money to pay other people who gave him money.However,he also kept a lot of the
    money for himself. Soon he had $ 250 million.This was a kind of theft,and it was against the law. The
    people who gave him their money didn't think anything was wrong. Ponzi paid them every month,just like a
    bank.Ponzi continued this way of working for two years.Then one day,he didn'thave enough money to pay
    all the people.They discovered his crime,and he went to prison for fraud.
    Ninety years later,people began to hear about a businessman in New York named Bernard Madoff.
    People said he gave good advice about money.They said when they gave him their money,he paid them a lot
    more than the bank.Madoff helped hospitals,schools,and individuals earn money.Over a period of 40
    years,people gave him$170 billion.However,no one investigated what he did with the money.The people
    who gave Madoff their money also didn't think anything was wrong because he paid them every month.
    One day,Madoff didn't have enough money to pay all the people he needed to pay. That's when people
    discovered how Madoff worked:He was taking money from some people to pay other people,just the way
    Charles Fonzi did.However,this time,instead of losing millions of dollars,people lost billions.
    Madoff was accused of fraud,and the United States government officials arrested him.He didn't have to
    go on trial because he said he was guilty.In 2009,a judge sentenced him to 150 years in prison.Bernard
    Madoff's crime was even bigger than Ponzi'5.It was the biggest fraud in history.The lesson of this story is
    clear:When something seems too good to be true,it probably is!

    What did Ponzi do with the money people gave him?
    A:He spent it all on things for himself.
    B:He used some of it to pay other people.
    C:He deposited it all in a bank.
    D:He kept it all to save for a good plan.

    答案:B

    从文章第一段倒数第三句话“Ponzi, however, would pay you $40 a year for every$100 you gave him to hold.”可知答案为C。

    Too Late to Regret It
    When I was a junior,I met a second-year student in my department. He wasn't tall or good-looking,but he was very nice,attractive and athletic.He had something that I admired very much .He was natural,warm,and sincere.
    I disregarded(不顾)my parents' disapproval. We were very happy together. He picked me up from my dorm every morning,and after class we would sit alongside the stream that ran through campus , or sunbathe(晒太阳)on the lawn. At night he would walk me back to my dorm .He came from a poor family,but in order to make me happy,he borrowed money from his friend to buy presents and meals for me .Our fellow students looked up to him as a role model, and the girls envied(妒忌)me. He wasn't a local , but wanted to stay here after graduation. I thought we had a future together.
    However,when I got a part-time job during the summer vacation,people began giving me a lot of pressure,saying that a pretty,intelligent girl like me should find a better guy to spend time with .This was also what my family thought.He spent the summer in his hometown,so I was all by myself. When he got back,I began finding faults with him.But his big heart and warmth soon drove all unpleasant thoughts away .However,I had no idea how badly I had hurt him and that things would get worse.
    I had a good part-time job off campus that paid pretty well.With my good performance at school,I also got admission to graduate school at one of China's best universities.He,on the oth- er hand,did not do so well at school or at work .I had to worry about his living expenses,job and scores。
    Almost all my colleagues and friends advised me to break up with him.Then we had a quarrel last June .He was in great pain,and my cold words and bad moods started turning him away.

    The year was 1920.The country was the United States of America. The man's name was Charles Ponzi.
    Ponzi told people to stop depositing money in a savings account.Instead,they should give it to him to save
    for them.Ponzi promised to pay them more than the bank.For example,a savings account might pay you$5
    a year for every $100 you deposit.Ponzi,however,would pay you $40 a year for every $ 100 you gave
    him to hold.Many people thought this was a good plan.They began to give their money to Ponzi.
    How could Ponzi make so much money for people?This is what he did with the money people gave him:
    He used some of that money to pay other people who gave him money.However,he also kept a lot of the
    money for himself. Soon he had $ 250 million.This was a kind of theft,and it was against the law. The
    people who gave him their money didn't think anything was wrong. Ponzi paid them every month,just like a
    bank.Ponzi continued this way of working for two years.Then one day,he didn'thave enough money to pay
    all the people.They discovered his crime,and he went to prison for fraud.
    Ninety years later,people began to hear about a businessman in New York named Bernard Madoff.
    People said he gave good advice about money.They said when they gave him their money,he paid them a lot
    more than the bank.Madoff helped hospitals,schools,and individuals earn money.Over a period of 40
    years,people gave him$170 billion.However,no one investigated what he did with the money.The people
    who gave Madoff their money also didn't think anything was wrong because he paid them every month.
    One day,Madoff didn't have enough money to pay all the people he needed to pay. That's when people
    discovered how Madoff worked:He was taking money from some people to pay other people,just the way
    Charles Fonzi did.However,this time,instead of losing millions of dollars,people lost billions.
    Madoff was accused of fraud,and the United States government officials arrested him.He didn't have to
    go on trial because he said he was guilty.In 2009,a judge sentenced him to 150 years in prison.Bernard
    Madoff's crime was even bigger than Ponzi'5.It was the biggest fraud in history.The lesson of this story is
    clear:When something seems too good to be true,it probably is!

    A:$5 a year
