questions from 30 to 34.

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 the parents expect and will fail. Unrealistic
parental expectations can cause great damage to their 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 Li 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 Chen, however, is not so lucky. Although 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
your age, I used to win every competition I entered,” Winton's father told him. Winston is always afraid that he
will disappoint his parents and now he always seems quiet and unhappy.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the
questions from 35 to 41.
It is commonly believed that school is where people go to get an education. Nevertheless, it has been
said that today children interrupt their education to go to school. The difference between schooling and
education implied by this remark is important.
Education is much more open-ended and all-inclusive than schooling. Education knows no limits. It can take
place anywhere, whether in the shower or on the job, whether in the kitchen or on a tractor. It includes both the
formal learning that takes place in school and the whole universe of informal learning. The agent doer of
education can vary from respected grandparents to the people arguing about politics on the radio, from a child
3

to a famous scientist. Whereas schooling has a certain predictability, education quite often produces surprises.
A chance conversation with a stranger may lead a person to discover how little is known of other religions.
People receive education from infancy on. Education, then, is a very broad, inclusive term; it is a lifelong
process, a process that starts long before the start of school, and one that should be a necessary part of one's
entire life.
Schooling, on the other hand, is a specific, formalized process, whose general pattern varies little from
one setting to the next. Throughout a country, children arrive at school at about the same time, take the assigned
seats, are taught by an adult, use similar textbooks, do homework, take exams, and so on. The pieces of reality
that are to be learned, whether they are the alphabet or an understanding of the workings of governments, have
been limited by the subjects being taught. For example, high school students know that they are not likely to
find out in their classes the truth about political problems in their society or what the newest filmmakers are
experimenting with. There are clear and undoubted conditions surrounding the formalized process of schooling.
Question 35: What is the main idea of the reading passage?
A. giving examples of different schools and the importance of schooling
