correct answer to each of the questions from 66 to 75.
If parents bring up a child with the sole aim of turning the child into a genius, they will
cause a disaster. 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.
