Part 3 – Reading

I. Read the passage and choose the best answer to each question.
A. If parents bring up a child with the aim of turning the child into a genius, they will cause great damage to
him. According to several leading educational psychologists, this is one of the biggest mistakes which some
parents make. Generally, the child will understand very well what the parents expect, and will fail. Unrealistic
parental expectations can cause great damage to the children.
However, if parents are not unrealistic about what they expect their children to do, but are hopeful in a
sensible way, the child may succeed in doing very well especially if the parents are very supportive of their
children.
Michael Smiths is very lucky. He is very fond of music, and his parents help him a lot by taking him to
concerts and arranging private piano and violin lessons. Although Michael's father plays the trumpet in a large
orchestra, he never makes Michael enter music competitions if the is unwilling.
Michael's friend, Winston Maier, however, is not so lucky. As 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 competition held. They are very unhappy when he does not win. "When I was at 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.
1. The main idea of the passage is ________.
A. how parents should make a child a musician. C. what differences there are between two kinds of parents.
B. how parents should bring up a child D. what aim of a child can be much earlier to each.

3. Winston's parents set so high a standard for him that________.
A. he has to do his best to do everything C. he has made great progress in music
B. he is afraid that he may disappoint them D. he often wants to kill himself some day
4. It is one of parents' mistakes if________
A. they want their child to be a musician C. they help their child to win music competitions

C. all sensible parents can train their children to succeed in everything.
D. unrealistic parents should arrange private lessons for their children.

B. Edward is entering a university and has to decide what foreign language to study, since he needs 12 credits
to graduate. He studied Japanese by himself in high school and even had a chance to use some for it when he took
a trip to Tokyo. He enjoyed his trip very much and thought that maybe some day he would like to work for an
international company based in Japan.
The reason why the university requires students to study a foreign language is that they feel that it makes the
students more educated. Edward does not feel that this should be the main reason for studying a foreign language.


8

impressing people with your knowledge.
After considering the possibilities of studying German or French so that he could travel in Europe with little
difficulty, he finally makes up his mind to continue his study of Japanese. He feels that being good at Japanese
would make it much easier for him to be accepted if he decides to work and live in Japan for some time.

C. Do you ever give excuses that are not really true? When and why? It seems that everybody tells lies - well,
not big lies, but what we call "white lies". The only real questions are about when we lie and who we tell lies to. A
recent study found that in conversation people frequently stretch the truth. Here are some ways they do it.
People often lie because they want to hide something from someone. For example, a son doesn't tell his
parents that he is dating a girl because he doesn't think they will like her. In stead, he says he is going out with the
guys.
Sometimes people lie because they don't want to do something. For example, someone invites you to a party.
You think it will be boring so you say that you are busy and can't come.
Often we stretch the truth to make someone feel good. For example, your friend cooks dinner for you, but it
tastes terrible. Do you say so? No! You probably say "Hmm, this is delicious!".
Other times we don’t want to tell someone bad news. For example, you have just had bad day at work, but
you don't want to talk about it. So, if someone asks about your day, you just say everything was fine.
Telling "white lies" isn't really bad. Most of the time people do it because they want to protect a friendship.
1. Why do people often tell lies?

A. Because they like it.
B. Because they feel amused
C. Because they don’t like the person who asks them about their stories.
D. Because they want to hide something.
2. Sometimes people lie by_________.
A. giving false excuse C. telling stories
B. saying something quite new D. making someone feel good
3. A son doesn't want to tell his parents that he is dating a girl because he __________ so he tells lies.
A. is ashamed C. is afraid that his parents don't like her
B. wants to keep it secret D. is very reserved
4. Your friend cooks you a terrible dinner but you say you like it because_______.
A. you want him / her to cook for you more. C. you like telling lies
B. you want to encourage him/ her D. you want to protect your friendship.
5. Everyone sometimes tells lies because________.
A. it is very good B. it isn't really all bad
C. it makes him/ her fell happier D. it is a habit of human beings.
