answer to each of the questions from 45 to 54. 
If parents bring up a child with the sole aim of turning the child into a genius (thiên tài), 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. 
Question 45: One of the serious mistakes parents can make is to ______. 
A. push their child into trying too much B. help their child to become a genius 
C. make their child become a musician D. neglect their child’s education 
Question 46: Parents’ ambition for their children is not wrong if they ______. 
A. force their children into achieving success B. themselves have been very successful 
C. understand and help their children sensibly D. arrange private lessons for their children 
Question 47: Who have criticized the methods of some ambitious parents? 
A. Successful musicians. B. Unrealistic parents. C. Their children. D. Educational psychologists. 
Question 48: Michael Collins is fortunate in that ______. 
A. his father is a musician B. his parents are quite rich 
C. his mother knows little about music D. his parents help him in a sensible way 
Question 49: The phrase "crazy about" in the passage mostly means ______. 
A. "surprised at" B. "extremely interested in" C. "completely unaware of" D. "confused 
about" 
Question 50: Winston’s parents push their son so much and he ______.

Question 54: The two examples given in the passage illustrate the principle that ______. 
A. successful parents always have intelligent children 
B. successful parents often have unsuccessful children 
C. parents should let the child develop in the way he wants 
D. parents should spend more money on the child’s education 
Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct 
answer to each of the questions from 55 to 64. 
 Psychologists have debated a long time about whether a child’s upbringing can give it the ability to do 
outstandingly well. Some think that it is impossible to develop genius and say that it is simply something a person is 
born with. Others, however, argue that the potential for great achievement can be develop. The truth lies somewhere 
between these two extremes. 
 It seems very obvious that being born with the right qualities from gifted parents will increase a child’s ability 
to do well. However, this ability will be fully realized only with the right upbringing and opportunities. As one 
psychologist says, “To have a fast car, you need both a good engine and fuel.” 
 Scientists have recently assessed intelligence, achievement, and ability in 50 sets of identical twins that were 
separated shortly birth and brought up by different parents. They found that achievement was based on intelligence, 
and later influenced by the child’s environment. 
 One case involving very intelligent twins was quoted. One of the twins received a normal upbringing, and 
performed well. The other twin, however, was brought up by extremely supportive parents and given every possible 
opportunity to develop its abilities. That twin, though starting out with the same degree of intelligence as the other, 
performed even better. 
 This case reflects the general principle of intelligence and ability. The more favorable the environment, the 
more a child’s intelligence and ability are developed. However, there is no link between intelligence and 
socioeconomic level of a child’s family. In other words, it does not matter how poor or how rich a family is, as this 
does not affect the intelligence. 
 Gifted people can not be created by supportive parents, but they can be developed by them. One professor of 
music said that outstanding musicians usually started two or three years earlier than ordinary performers, often because 
their parents had recognized their ability. These musicians then needed at least ten years’ hard work and training in 
order to reach the level they were capable of attaining. 
 People who want to have very gifted children are given the following advice: 
- Marry an intelligent person. 
- Allow children to follow their own interests rather than the interests of the parents. 
- Start a child’s education early but avoid pushing the child too hard. 
- Encourage children to play; for example, playing with musical instrument is essential for a child who wants to 
become an outstanding musician. 
Question 55: When scientists studied intelligence and ability in twins, they found that ______. 
 A. different twins generally have different levels of ability 
 B. ability depends mainly on intelligence and achievement 
 C. intelligence and development are irrelevant to ability 
 D. ability depends both on intelligence and environment

 B. they have the same genetic background, usually with similar intelligence 
 C. they have the same economic background and hence the same opportunities
