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 does not win. Winston is always afraid that he will disappoint his parents and now he always seems quiet and unhappy. 31: Michael Collins is fortunate in that ______. A. his father is a musician B. his parents are quite rich C. his mother knows little about music D. his parents help him in a sensible way 32: Winston’s parents push their son so much and he ______. A. has won a lot of piano competitions B. cannot learn much music from them C. has become a good musician D. is afraid to disappoint them 33: One of the serious mistakes parents can make is to ______.

"completely unaware of" 40: The word "unwilling" in the passage mostly means ______. A. "not wanting to do something" B. "not objecting to doing anything" C. "getting ready to do something" D.

Ocean water plays an indispensable role in supporting life. The great ocean basins hold about 300 million cubic miles of water. From this vast amount, about 80,000 cubic miles of water are sucked into the atmosphere each year by evaporation and returned by precipitation and drainage to the ocean. More than 24,000 cubic miles of rain descend annually upon the continents. This vast amount is required to replenish the lakes and streams, springs and water tables on which all flora and fauna are dependent. Thus, the hydrosphere permits organic existence. The hydrosphere has strange characteristics because water has properties unlike those of any other liquid. One anomaly is that water upon freezing expands by about 9 percent, whereas most liquids contract on cooling. For this reason, ice floats on water bodies instead of sinking to the bottom. If the ice sank, the hydrosphere would soon be frozen solidly, except for a thin layer of surface melt water during the summer season. Thus, all aquatic life would be destroyed and the interchange of warm and cold currents, which moderates climate, would be notably absent. Another outstanding characteristic of water is that water has a heat capacity which is the highest of all liquids and solids except ammonia. This characteristic enables the oceans to absorb and store vast quantities of heat, thereby often preventing climatic extremes. In addition, water dissolves more substances than any other liquid. It is this characteristic which helps make oceans a great storehouse for minerals which have been washed down from the continents. In several areas of the world these minerals are being commercially exploited. Solar evaporation of salt is widely practiced, potash is extracted from the Dead Sea, and magnesium is produced from sea water along the American Gulf Coast. 46: The author’s main purpose in this passage is to _______. A. explain how water is used in commerce and industry B. compare water with other liquids C. illustrate the importance of conserving water D. describe the properties and uses of water 47: According to the passage, fish can survive in the oceans because _______. A. they do not need oxygen B. ice floats C. evaporation and condensation create a water cycle D. there are currents in the oceans 48: The word “outstanding” in paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to _______. A. exceptionally good B. special C. important D. amusing 49: According to the passage, the hydrosphere is NOT _______. A. a source of natural resources B. the part of the earth covered by water C. responsible for all forms of life D. in danger of freezing over 50: The word “replenish” in paragraph 1 can best be replaced by _______. A. replace B. evaporate C. fill again D. form 51: The phrase “This vast amount” in line 4 refers to _______. A. 80,000 million cubic miles of water B. 300 million cubic miles of water C. 24,000 cubic miles of rain D. 80,000 cubic miles of water 52: The author’s tone in the passage can best be described as _______.
