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

Children in the United States are exposed to many influences other than that of their families. Television is the most significant of these influences, because the habit of watching television usually begins before children start attending school.Parents are concerned about the lack of quality in television programs for children. The degree of violence in many of these shows also worries them. Studies indicate that, when children are exposed to violence, they may become aggressive or insecure.Parents are also concerned about the commercials (商业广告) that their children see on television. Many parents would like to see fewer commercials during programs for children. And some parents feel that these shows should not have any commercials at all because young minds are not mature enough to deal with the claims made by advertisers.Educational television has no commercials and has programs for children that many parents approve of. The most famous of these is Sesame Street, which tries to give preschool children a head start in learning the alphabet (字母) and numbers. It also tries to teach children useful things about the world in which they live.Even though most parents and educators give Sesame Street and shows like it high marks for quality, some critics argue that all television, whether educational or not, is harmful to children. These critics feel that the habit of watching hours of television every day turns children into bored and passive (被动的) consumers of their world rather than encouraging them to become active explorers of it1). Which of the following statements is not based on the passage?A. Parents are worried about the influence from television on their children.B. Television has much influence on children.C. Both parents and their children like watching educational television.D. Some critics think that television is no good for children.2). In what ways do children suffer from television?A. They become the victims of social violence.B. They spend hours watching television instead of doing school work.C. The programs make the children lose interest in the world.D. The programs make the children spend too much of their parents’ money.3). Parents would not like their children to see commercials because ______A. they think that their children are not old enough to handle advertisingB. commercials teach children alphabet and numbersC. commercials help to sell productsD. they don’t like commercials4). Educational television is widely appreciated because _____A. it does have the same commercials as othersB. it offers programs for both children and their parentsC. many parents like the programs it offers for their childrenD. children can learn some school subjects before they go to school5). Which of the following can best serve as the title of the passage?A. Watching Too Much Television Is Harmful to Young Minds.B. Television Is More Harmful than Educational.C. Television’s Influence on Children.D. More Education Television.

Most Americans find the idea of arranged marriages difficult to understand or accept.They believe that two people should marry for love, after a period of dating or courtship.During that period, the prospective marriage partners are supposed to learn enough about each other to decide whether or not they will be able to build a successful marriage.Today in America, it is common for people to live together as a way of preparing for marriage.The idea of an arranged marriage seems very old-fashioned indeed.But aren't all marriages arranged in one way or another? In the United States marriages are seldom formally arranged, but quite a lot of informal arranging goes on before two people become husband and wife.People who get married are introduced to each other by friends.These friends have already decided that the two people are right for each other and arrange for them to meet.In the United States this kind of arrangement is very common.Because friends have such great influence, their approval of a dating partner is very important.Families also exert open and subtle pressures on their children to influence their choices of marriage partners.Parents often arrange dates for their own children.One parent often tells a friend about her beautiful daughter or handsome son.Also, parents can meet the perfect marriage prospect for their son or daughter through business relationships.Since parents often assist their children financially, they feel that they have the right to help the bride and groom select where they will live, what type of furniture they will purchase, and what their life-style. will be like.1.Most Americans think that arranged marriages are().A.understandableB.acceptableC.unavoidableD.old fashioned2.According to this passage, the prospective marriage partners().A.often write to each otherB.often attend formal parties togetherC.often meet each otherD.often discuss problems together3.Which of the flowing is TRUE according to this passage?()A.Marriages are usually arranged by parents in America.B.No arranging goes on before two people get married.C.Only one formal arrangement takes place before two people get married.D.There are usually a lot of informal arrangements before two people get married.4.Which of the following is NOT true?()A.Parents often try to influence their children's marriages.B.Open arranged marriages are unusual in the U.S.C.Friends sometimes play some role in getting two people together who may get married later.D.Parents never care much about their children's marriages.5.Which of the following can be inferred from the last paragraph?()A.Social class has much influence on marriages.B.Nationality has much influence on marriages.C.Knowledge has much influence on marriages.D.Age has much influence on marriages.

In the past, American families tended to be quite large. Parents raising five or more children were common. Over the years, the size of the family is becoming smaller. One reason for this is an increase in the cost of living.Generally children attend schools for more years than they used to, making them financially dependent on their families longer. Moreover, children nowadays are better dressed and have more money to spend on entertainment. The parents are usually responsible for all the expenses. And families are less close than they used to be. More and more American mothers work away from home. The break-up of the family appears when the parents divorce.A lot of children in the U. S. live part of their young lives with only one parent. Children grow up feeling unsettled as they are moved between their parents. Single parents often marry other single parents. In this type of family, unrelated children are forced to develop brother or sister relationship.The situations of many American families today are not good. However, recent signs show that things are getting better. The divorce rate is declining(降低). Perhaps Americans have learned how important families are.21.

Passage TwoConcerning money or anything else, conflicts between husband and wife usually reflect a power struggle. Conflicts between parent and child often center around the same issue. As children enter adolescence, they begin to demand greater freedom to go where they please, do what they please, and make decisions without parental interference. Many American par- ents do not know how to deal with their teenagers and seek advice from books, lectures, and parent-training courses. Parents want to maintain a friendly relationship with their teenagers and also want to guide them so that their behavior. will be whatever the parents consider proper and constructive. But in a society of rapidly changing social and moral values, parents and children often disagree about what is important and what is right. Arguments may con- cern such unimportant matters as styles of dress or hairdos. But quarrels may also concern school work, after school jobs, decisions, use of the family car, dating, and sexual behav- ior. Some families have serious problems with teenagers who drop out of school, run away from home, or use illegal drugs. Because so much publicity is given to the problem teenager, one gets the impression that all teenagers are troublemakers. Actually, relatively few adoles- cents do anything wrong, and nearly all grow up into "solid citizens" who fulfill most of their parents' expectations. In fact, recent studies show that the "generation gap" is narrowing. The vast majority of teenagers share most of their parents' values and ideas. Many parents feel that they get along with their adolescents quite well.40. According to the writer, conflicts between husband and wife usually reflect ______.A. feelings of hatredB. power struggleC. that they don't care for each otherD. that they may appeal to divorce

Children for whom school has no point
Many children do not go to school either because their parents want them at home as carers for siblings,or simply because their parents cannot be bothered to send them．Thousands more are not registered at any school at all,because of their families'unstable lives.
Underlying this dreadful situation there are two central truths．First of all,the problem of children not going to school often has more to do with their parents than with the children themselves．Secondly,once children go to school,we need to make sure that the experience is a positive one so that they want to keep on going.
In Britain,the Ministry of Education has introduced a complex package of sticks and carrots to persuade Schools to bring truants'and excluded children back into the classroom．It is paying grants so that a thousand schools can set up special units to help these children．Schools receive the grant if they bring a target number of children back to school;if they do not meet the target,the grant is withdrawn.
Parents are the subject of this campaign,too:the Home Office has introduced fines for parents who fail to send their children to school,and has given the police power to pick up truants on the streets.
Truant=a child who does not go to school when he or she should.
The Home Office__.A.has given powers to the police to pick up parents
B.will give money to parents to send children to school
C.will go to the family and persuade parents and their children

Home SchoolingAll children in the United States have to receive an education,but the law does not say they have to be educated at school. A number of parents prefer not to send their children to school.______(46)There are about 300,000 home-schoolers in the United States today.Some parents prefer teaching their children at home because they do not believe that public schools teach the correct religious values;others believe they can provide a better educational experience for their children by teaching them at home.______(47)David Guterson and his wife teach their three children at home.Guterson says that his children learn very differently from children in school.______(48)For example,when there is heavy snowfall on a winter day,it may start a discussion or reading about climate,snow removal （去除）equipment , Alaska , polar bears（北极熊）,and winter tourism. A spring evening when the family is out watching the stars is a good time to ask questions about satellites and the space program.______（49)Home schooling is often more interesting than regular schools,but critics say that home-schoolers are outsiders who might be uncomfortable mixing with other people in adult life. ______(50)However,most parents don't have the time or the desire to teach their children at home,so schools will continue to be where most children get their formal education.______(49)A: Interestingly,results show that home-schooled children quite often do better than average on national tests in reading and math.B: Critics also say that most parents are not well qualified to teach their children.C: Learning starts with the children's interests and questions.D: Children who are educated at home are known as“home-schoolers.”E: In some countries,however,children are educated by their parents.F: If the Brazilian rain forests are on the TV news,it could be a perfect time to talk about how rain forests influence the climate,and how deserts are formed.

The Sandwich GenerationToday people often look forward to their middle age as a time when they will be able to take things easier. After their children are grown,they expect to enjoy the life they have worked hard to create .However,the reality is often very different. In middle age,many people discover that they have two ongoing responsibilities:one is to look after their aging parents,and the other is to help their young adult children deal with the pressures of life.Around the world,there are mil-lions of people who are“sandwiched”in between the older and the younger generations.Some-times there may be two or three generations living in the same household-a situation that is corn-mon in many Asian countries and in some parts of Europe .In other cases,a couple may be taking care of parents and children,but they do not live with them.There are two important reasons for the rise of the sandwich generation.First,people are liv-ing longer than they used to.In the early nineteenth century,the average life expectancy for adults in the United States,for example,was about 40,whereas today people live to an average age of 75 .Therefore,children are taking care of their parents over a longer period of time.The see-ond reason is that these days,young adults often live with their parents for a longer time than they did in the past. This is often for financial reasons.It's also more common for today's young adults to return home during or after college if they need financial or emotional support.Young adults feel sandwiched between their financial responsibilities and their desire to enjoy life .They may have to cover expenses that their parents cannot.They may have to manage their parents' financial and legal affairs.They may have to prepare for their parents' future needs,such as special medical care or a move to a nursing home. This can be a traumatic（长期困扰的）ex-perience for everyone.Caring for adult children presents challenges as well,and caregivers have to resolve important questions:How can financial responsibilities be shared among members of the household?How can household chores be shared?What is the best way to ensure everyone's privacy?Successfully cop-ing with these issues can avoid a lot of stress for the whole family.The financial and emotional pressures on the sandwich generation can be overwhelming. However,this time in life also has its rewards.It can be a time to rediscover the special qualities of one's parents or children.It can also provide a valuable opportunity to spend more time with them. However,in order to survive this difficult period in their lives,the members of the sand-wich generation must remember that they also need to pay attention to their own needs and look af-ter the quality of their own lives.They can't be totally selfless. Which is true about the sandwich generation?A: Their parents are unable to take care of themselves.B: They are torn between the responsibilities for their parents and children.C: They all have to live with their parents and children.D: Their parents are often facing the pressures of life.

问答题Practice 4 The line of demarcation between the adult and the child world is drawn in many ways. For instance, many American parents may be totally divorced from the church, or entertain grave doubts about the existence of God, but they send their children to Sunday school and help them to pray. American parents struggle in a competitive world where sheer cunning and falsehood are often rewarded and respected, but they feed their children with nursery tales in which the morally good is pitted against the bad, and in the end the good inevitably is successful and the bad inevitably punished. When American parents are in serious domestic trouble, they maintain a front of sweetness and light before their children. Even if American parents suffer a major business or personal catastrophe, they feel obliged to turn to their children and say, “Honey, everything is going to be all right.” This American desire to keep the children’ s world separate from that of the adult is exemplified also by the practice of delaying transmission of the news to children when their parents have been killed in an accident. Thus, in summary, American parents face a world of reality while many of their children live in a near-ideal unreal realm where the rules of the parental world do not apply, are watered down, or are even reversed.

问答题练习1 Parents in China are always trying to help their children, even to make the most important decision for them, regardless of what the children really want, because parents believe it’s all for the benefit of their children. This has led to the result that the children’s growth and education tend to give way to their parents’ wishes. Once the parents decide to sign up an after school class for their children in order to increase their chance of being admitted to a good school, they will stick on their decision, even their children have no interest in it at all. In America, however, parents tend to respect their children, especially when making decisions. Perhaps it is commendable that Chinese parents lay much importance on education, but Chinese parents still need to keep the balance between the parents and children in the perspective of education as the American parents do.
