If parents’ aim(目標(biāo)) is only to make a child be a genius(天才), they will cause a disaster. Several leading educational psychologists(心理學(xué)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(音樂(lè)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.

任務(wù)型閱讀 根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容完成表格中所缺信息，在答題卷上相應(yīng)的橫線上填寫答案，每空限填一個(gè)單詞。（本大題共5空，每空1分，共5分）

Country music is a kind of modern-day pop music, originated (起源) in the southern United States and Appalachia mountains. The singers usually play the guitar, and in the 1920s they started using electric guitars. Nowadays people use the violin, banjo, and slide-guitar as well.

The music at the very beginning was generally very smooth, beautiful and the phrasing structure (句法結(jié)構(gòu)) also was simple. In the 1950s, American country music was about other things, for example, love and money. In the 1960s, songs were often full of anger, and some of them made fun of the political (政治的) leaders. During the 1990s, American country music became more and more popular. Song writers were no longer writing about the modern values of the USA—money, success or expensive things to buy. Instead they were writing once more about things that were usual for everyone.

Today country music has become a big business. It brings in a lot of money. Now, it has reached all parts of the States, from Los Angeles in the west to New York in the east. It remains much the same as before. One subject is “the good old days”. In “the good old days” people praised each other. They believed that the best things in life were free: sunshine, laughing, walks in the beauty of the country, friends and music.

Imagine you are living in a moving house. Inside the house, there is a small kitchen, bathroom and bedroom.Everything you need is close at hand.

In the US, you can really see these moving houses on the mad. They are called recreational vchicles(RV,房車).People call them houses on wheels. When it's holiday time, the whole family often gets into this lovely house

and hits the road for a trip across the country.

Compared to a real house, this home on the road is small for a family who has to spend every hour of every day together. But the best thing about it is that it changes your journey into a free exploration.

You can drive as long as you like without worrying about finding hotels. Or you can just stop somewhere nice and stay for a few weeks. You may also come across other families who are on road trips. Together, you take out your tents and snacks. It's camping time with a lot of chat and laughter.
