According to several leading educational experts, this is one of the biggest mistakes that some parents make. Generally, the child will understand very well what the parents expect, and will fall. Unrealistic(不现实) expectations of the parents can cause great damage to children.However, if parents are not unrealistic about what they expect their children to do, but are hopeful in a sensible(明智) way, the child may succeed in doing very well -- espe cially if the parents are very supportive to their children.Michael Li is very lucky. He is very fond of music and his parents help him a lot by taking him to concerts and let him attend piano and violin lessons. Although Michael’s mother knows very little about music, his father is a good musician. However, he never makes Michael enter music competitions if he is unwilling.Michael’s friend, Winston Chen, 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 in every piano co mpetition held. They are very unhappy when he does not win. “When I was your age I used to win every competition I enter.” Winston’s father tells him. Winston is always afraid that he will disappoint his parents and now he always quiet and unhappy.46. The main idea of the passage is _____.A. what differences there are between parentsB. what aim of a child can be easier to reachC. how parents should make a child a musicianD. how parents should bring up their children47. Michael is lucky because _____.A. his parents help him in a sensible wayB. his family is rich enough to have a carC. his father is a successful musicianD. he is free to do anything he likes best48. Winston’s parents set so high a standard for him that _____.A. he has to do his best to do everythingB. he has made greater progress in musicC. he is afraid he may disappoint themD. he often wants to kill himself someday49. It is one of the parents’ worst mistakes if they _____.A. want their child to be a musicianB. make their child try to achieve too muchC. don’t care their child’s education muchD. help their child to win music competitionB篇In one way of thinking, failure is part of life. In another way, failure may be a way towards success. The “spider-story” is often told. Robert Bruce, leader of the Scots in the 13th century, was hiding in a cave from the English. He watched a spider making a web(网). The spider tried to reach across a rough place in the rock. He tried six times. On the seventh time he made it and went on to make his web. Bruce is said to have been encouraged by this and to have gone on to defeat the English. Edison, the inventor of the light bulb, made hundreds of models that failed before he found the right way to make one. Once he was asked why he kept on trying to make a new type of battery when he had failed so often, he replied, “Failure? I have no failure. Now I know 50,000 ways it won’t work.”So what? Firs t, always think about your failure. What caused it? Were conditions right? Wereyou in top form yourself? What can you change so things will go right next time?Second, is the goal you’re trying to reach the right one? Try to do some thinking about what your real goals may be. Think about this question, “If I do succeed in this, where will it get me?” This may hel p you prevent failure in things you shouldn’t be doing anyway.The third thing to keep in mind about failure is that it’s a part of life. Learn to “live with yourself” even though you may have failed.50. This passage deals with _____.A. failure and successB. two sides of failureC. the “spider-story”D. the invention of light bulb51. In the f irst paragraph the writer tells mainly about _____.A. the value of failureB. how people failC. famous failuresD. how not to fail52. The thing the writer does not tell you to do to deal with failure is _____.A. check out your goals to see if they are right for youB. think about failure as part of your lifeC. think about failure to find out what went wrongD. keep away from things that are beyond you53. Even if we have failed we should _____.A. learn to forget itB. learn to remember itC. learn to enjoy itD. learn to accept it1-5 DACDC 6-10C ADAC11-15DCDBB16-20ACDCB 21-25BBDDB26---45 BDACD ABCBA BDCBA BADCA46-53 DACB BADD。

Can any man be both? I like to keep women g uessing.”Since Grant’s break-up last year with his longtime girlfriend Elizabeth Hurley，the thought of throwing himself into another big relationship doesn’t seem like it’s expected.“How easy do you think it is to find someone you can share 14 years of personal jokes with? Not easy. And I don’t know that I will，” he says.Still，the 40-year-old star admits he can’t help thinking that his clock is ticking.“In the end，I want to have kids（children）.But in the back of my mind，I never wanted to have kids unt il I’d done something I’m proud of written a book，had my name on something really worthwhile,” he says. “I’m determined not to be in front of the cameras any more.”With all of these concerns（心思)inside，has Grant ever considered seeing a psychiatrist（精神病医生)to sort things out?“I don’t think I need treatment，thank you,” sniffs the star.“I’m frightened of those people. And more than that，I don’t want to know what lies beneath （在下面）.”46.Judging from what Hugh Grant says，the film star may consider himself .A. either a bastard or a nice guyB. both a bastard and a nice guy at the same timeC. a bastard in one week and a nice guy in the otherD. neither a bastard nor a nice guy47. Hugh Grant .A. is looking for another girlfriend at the present timeB. never feels sure of finding a girlfriend who can take the place of Elizabeth HurleyC. considers it a shame to look for another girlfriendD. doesn’t value much the relationship he had with Elizabeth Hurley48.The underlined clause “his clock is ticking” possibly means .A. he’s having a good timeB. he can’t stand being singleC. his film life is going to end soonD. he is getting too old49.Hugh Grant thinks that he is not yet successful enough to be .A. a nice guyB. a husbandC. a film starD. a fatherBIn modern society there is a great deal of argument about competition. Some value it highly，believing that it is responsible for social progress and prosperity. Others say that competition is bad；that it sets one person against another；that it leads to unfriendly relationship between people.I have taught many children who held the belief that their self worth relied (依赖)on how well they performed at tennis and other skills. For them，playing well and winning are often life and death affairs. In their single minded pursuit(追求)of success，the development，of many other human qualities is sadly forgotten.However，while sonic seem to be lost in die desire to succeed，others take an opposite attitude. In a culture which values only die winner and pays no attention to the ordinary players，they strongly blame competition. Among the most vocal are youngsters who have suffered under competitive pressures from their parents or society. Teaching these young people，I often observe in them a desire to fail. They seem to seek failure by not trying to win or achieve success. By not trying，they always have an excuse：“I may have lost，but it doesn’t matter because I really didn’t try.” What is not usually admitted by them selves is the belief that if they had really tried and lost，that would mean a lot. Such a loss would be a measure of their worth. Clearly，this belief is the same as that of the true competitors who try to prove themselves. Both are based on the mistaken be lief that one’s self respect relies on how well one performs in comparison with others. Both are afraid of not being valued. Only as this basic and often troublesome fear begins to dissolve(缓解) can we discover a new meaning in competition.50. What does this passage mainly talk about?A. Competition helps to set up self-respect.B. Opinions about competition are different among people.C. Competition is harmful to personal quality development.D. Failures are necessary experiences in competition.51. Why do some people favor competition according to the passage?A. It pushes society forward.B. It builds up a sense of duty.C. It improves personal abilities.D. It encourages individual efforts.52. The underlined phrase “the most vocal” in Paragrap h 3 means .A. those who try their best to winB. those who value competition most highlyC. those who are against competition most stronglyD. those who rely on others most for success53. What is the similar belief of the true competitors and those with a “desire to fail”?A. One’s worth lies in his performance compared with others.B. One’s success in competition needs great efforts.C.
