VII. Read the following passage and choose the best answer from A, B, C or D (2 
point).

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 he 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.

A. they want their child to be a musician

B. they help their child to win music competitions
C. they don’t care for their child’s education much
