32、assage 1Questions 61 to 65 are based on the following passage: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. Gene

33、rally, 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 succee

34、d 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

35、 violin lessons. Although Michael s mother knows very little about music, Michaelrum pest fpalathyeerr.is a good tHowever, he never makes Michael enter music competitions if he is unwilling.Michael frsiend, Winston Chiu Fang Weng, however, is not so lucky. Although both his parents are successful mu

36、sicians, 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, Iused to win every competition I entered, ”Winston fsather tells him. Winst

37、on is always afraid that he will disappoint his parents and now he always seems quiet and unhappy.61.

42、ased on the following passage:Although machines have been around for a long time and people have adapted easily to living with most of them, they haven t yet learned how to live in harmony with the newest of these: the personal computer. Tishis so because the widespread use of the personal computer

43、is a relatively new phenomenon.There was the widely publicized case of a family man who became so absorbed in his computer that he spent long hours with it. Of course, if he was spending long hours with his computer, he was spending less time with his family. And if his wife needed to see him, he wa

44、s unavailable. She became so upset by this state of affairs that she delivered an ultimatum ( 最后通牒 ), declaring that unless he spent fewer hours with the machine and more with her and the family, she was going to divorce him. This issue became so serious that the couple had to go to a doctor to reso

45、lve it. The fortunate result was that the husband reduced the time he spent with the computer, and the marriage was saved.Personal computers may cause people to become isolated from one another since work can be done at home alone. In this case, there may be no need for offices, or for that matter,

46、for any other central gathering place. Universities, or even cities, could be abandoned. Moreover, if that which is now recorded on paper is recorded in the computer instead, people will have no reason to use any paper whatsoever: no money, receipts, letters, newspapers, magazines, books, and so on.

47、 If this happens, there will be no need to go to the bank, the bookstore, or the library. Will people then be isolated in their separate homes alone with their computers and their families, apart from fellow workers, readers, or students?66. We can learn from the passage that the personal computer .

48、A) has been around for a long timeB) has been accepted by all people C) is not widely used yetD) is not welcome to everyone67. The man s wife was upset because .A) he loved another womanB) he was neglecting her and the familyC) he wanted to divorce herD) she didn t have her own computer68. The man s

49、 wife threatened to divorce him if .A) he continued to spend long hours with the computerB) he did not quit his job with the computer companyC) he did not spend time with her parentsD) he did not go to see the doctor with her69. The marriage was saved .A) with the help of a fortune tellerB) after th

50、e wife took over the computerC) with the help of a doctorD) after the husband sold the computer70. What seems to be worrying the author as far as the computer is concerned?A) People may become isolated from one another.B) Offices may no longer be necessary.C) People will no longer read books or maga

51、zines.D) Factory workers will lose their jobs.Passage 3Questions 71 to 75 are based on the following passage:It is an inescapable fact that to most people there comes a time when failing powers of mind or body made it impossible for them to manage their daily lives without some sort of help, and des

52、pite the weakened sense of family solidarity, this help comes in many cases from children, other relatives, or occasionally friends. When an old person or old couple gives up an independent home and becomes part of another household it does not mean that all the problems of old age are automatically

53、 solved; the problems are different, not so pressing perhaps, and their solution lies more with the younger relatives than with the older people themselves.Caring for the aged requires skill as well as goodwill. Much advice is now available for those caring for young children and babies, and there a

54、re numerous books to help mothers in bringing up their families, but as far as I know little has been written about the day-to-day care of old people. Fortunately the first essentials, sympathy and affection, are very often to be found, and will carry relatives, friends and old people a long way, bu

55、t not the whole way; without these two virtues the work of caring for the old can be onerous ( 繁重的 ) and unrewarding.Probably the first thing for anyone to learn who has old people to care for is the need to allow them the freedom of action, to realize that their personality is still individual and

56、that social significance is essential to happiness. It is all too easy to take the attitude that the old are past doing anything and to encourage resting and doing nothing.This is mistaken kindness, though it may be an easy way of satisfying the conscience compared with the more exacting way of cont

57、inual encouragement to be active, to go out, to find worthwhile occupation. The latter course, however, is much more likely to promote happiness.71. To solve the problems of the old,.A) younger relatives should play a key roleB) old people should live with younger relativesC) old people should live in an independent homeD) younger relatives should visit the old occasionally72.
