If parents’ aim(目标) is only to make a child be a genius(天才), they will cause a disaster. Several leading educational psychologists(心理学家) say this is one of the biggest mistakes that can cause great problems to children.
However, if parents are a little gentler, the child may act successfully—especially if the parents can support him. Michael Li is very lucky. He is very fond of music, and his parents help him a lot by taking him to concerts and inviting a teacher to give him personal piano lessons. They even drive him 59 kilometers twice a week for violin lessons. Although Michael’s mother knows very little about music, Michael’s father plays the piano very well. However, he never makes Michael enter music competitions if he is unwilling.
Michael’s friend, Winston Chen, however, is not so lucky. Although both his parents are successful musicians(音乐家), they set too high a standard for Winston. They want their son to be as successful as they are, so they enter him in every piano competition held. They are very unhappy when he does not win. “When I was your age, I used to win every competition I entered,” Winston’s father tells him. Winston is always afraid that he will disappoint(使…失望) his parents and now he always seems quiet and unhappy.
28. One of the worst mistakes any parent can make is to __________.

A．pay much attention to their child’s education

B．push the child into trying to achieve too much

C．make their child become a musician

D．help their child to succeed in the future

29. Michael Li is lucky because __________.

A．his father knows music and teaches him much

B．his parents are rich enough to support him

C．his mother doesn’t know much about music

D．his parents help him in a wise way

30. The two examples show that __________.

A．it is important to let children develop in their own way

B．it is successful to let children develop without others’ help

C．successful parents often have unsuccessful children

D．the more you help your children, the less they can achieve

Many of us feel uneasy when someone stands too close to us, talks to us too loudly or makes eye contact (接触) with us for too long. But have you ever wondered why those things make you uncomfortable?
It’s all about personal space, which means not only an imaginary space around the body, but also the space around all the senses. People feel that their space is being violated (侵犯) when they meet with an unwelcome sound, smell or look. This is probably why a man on a crowded bus shouting into his mobile phone or a woman next to you putting on strong perfume (香水) makes you feel angry.
Whether people have had a stronger wish to protect their personal space in recent times is hard to say. Yet studies of airlines show that people have a strong desire (渴望) to have space to themselves. In a survey by TripAdvisor, a travel website, people said that if they had to pay more for some extra service, they would rather have larger seats than extra food.
Although people may need their personal space, some hardly realize it. For example, people on a bus who hold newspapers in front of their faces to read in fact keep a distance from strangers.
Go and watch a library table. You will notice that one of the corner seats will usually be taken first, because they are the farthest away. What if someone sits opposite to you? Maybe you will pile up books as if to make a wall.
Preferences (偏好) for personal space are different from culture to culture. Scientists have found that Americans generally prefer more personal space than people from other cultures. In Latin (拉丁人的) cultures, however, people are more comfortable standing close to each other.
31. The writer mainly __________ in this article.

A．tells us how to achieve personal space

B．explains why people need personal space

C．introduces some knowledge about personal space

D．argues for the importance of keeping personal space

32. What can we know from the survey by TripAdvisor?

A．People need a smaller personal space in recent times than before.

B．People have a strong desire for personal space in recent times.

C．There are not enough seats on the plane to meet people’s needs.

D．Food service is better provided than seats on the plane.

33. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?

A．The space around the body is more needed than that around all the senses.

B．If you hold newspapers on the bus, your personal space won’t be violated.

C．People usually choose the corner seats first in a library for personal space.

D．Different cultures share the same preferences for personal space.

One afternoon I visited an art museum while waiting for my husband to finish a business meeting. I was looking forward to a quiet view of the art works.

A young couple viewing the paintings ahead of me chatted nonstop (不停) between themselves. I watched them a moment and found the wife was doing all the talk. I admired (赞赏) the husband for putting up with her continuous (持续的) talk. Distracted (分心) by their noise, I moved on.

I met with them many times as I moved through the different rooms of art. Each time I heard her continuous talk, I moved away quickly.

I was standing at the counter (柜台) of the museum gift shop when the couple came near to the exit. Before they left, the man reached into his pocket and pulled out a white thing. He extended (展开) it into a long stick and then tapped (敲打) his way into the coatroom to get his wife’s jacket.

“He’s a brave man.” The salesman at the counter said, “Most of us would give up (放弃) if we were blind (瞎的) at such a young age. But he said his life wouldn’t change during his recovery (恢复). So, as before, he and his wife come in when there’s a new art show.”

“But how does he enjoy the art?” I asked, “He can’t see.”

“Can’t see? You’re wrong. He sees a lot. More than you or I do.” The clerk said, “His wife describes each painting so he can see it in his head.”

I learned something from the couple that day. I saw a young wife describing paintings to a person without sight (视力) and a husband who would not allow blindness to change his life. And I saw the love shared by two people as I watched this couple walk away hand in hand.

34. The young couple was at an art museum ________.

A．to show their love

36. We can infer (推断) from the passage that the husband _______.

A．was not born blind	B．couldn’t stand (忍受) his wife
C．knew nothing about art	D．completely depended on (完全依靠) his wife

37. After hearing what the clerk said about the couple, the writer was _______.

A．brave

B．excited

C．touched

D．angry

38. The passage is mainly about _______.

Whenever we meet with difficulty or failure (失败), teachers, parents or others often say to us "Never give up." These can be encouraging words. A person should believe in himself and keep trying to be successful no matter how many times he fails. Therefore, I believe that we should never give up.
One reason is that if we give up too easily, we will seldom achieve anything. It is not unusual for us to fail in something new, so we should try again. Besides, if we always give up when we fail, we will not be able to develop new skills and grow.
Another reason is that we can learn from our mistakes so as not to do the same things again. If we do not try once more, the lesson we have learned is wasted.
Finally, we should never give up because as we work to reach our goals, we develop confidence, and this confidence can help us succeed in other areas of our lives. If we never challenge(挑战) ourselves, we will begin to doubt our abilities.
In short, it is important that we do not give up when working for our goals. We succeed in the end or not, we will learn something , and what we learn will help us to become better and more confident. What's more, if we give up , we have no chance of realizing our dreams any more , but if we keep making great efforts, there is always a chance that we will be successful one day.
