17.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 59kilometers 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.

分析 文章大意:
文中通过两个例子介绍了父母不应该对孩子过于苛刻.文中两个例子之中唯一的不同之处就是父母的做法,第一个例子中父母不会强迫孩子参加不想参加的比赛,完全并自愿,而第二个父母则刚好相反,以至于孩子丧失了学习的动力和激情.所以作者通过这两个例子来告诉父母们,应该尊重孩子的选择,只有这样,孩子学起来才会轻松,才能有所成.
解答 31.B,推理判断题,文中提到"If parents'aim is only to make a child be a genius,they will cause a disaster"如果父母的目标只是让孩子成为一个天才,那么对孩子来说就是灾难,所以选择B.
32.D,推理判断题,文中提到"he never makes Michael enter music competitions if he is unwilling"他的父母从来不会迫使他参加他不愿意参加的比赛项目,由此确定他的父母用一个明智的方法在教导孩子,由此确定选择D.
33.A,推理判断题,文中两个例子之中唯一的不同之处就是父母的做法,告诉我们父母应该尊重孩子的选择,只有这样,孩子学起来才会轻松,才能有所成,由此选择A.
