II. Read the following passage and choose the best answer from A, B, C or D.
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.
