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, they set too high a standard for Winston. They want their son to be as successful as they are，so they let him take part in every piano competition. 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.
54. One of the worst mistakes any parent can make is to .
A. pay much attention to their child's education

In the world there are a lot of people using public transport, some love it and still some dislike it. If everyone has a car and drives anywhere they want to go, there will be serious traffic problems on the road. Luckily, trains are a good form of public transport.
British people use trains a lot. This is especially so for people who are travelling from London to Paris. Every day about 20 trains leave London. They travel at a very high speed and people feel glad that the trains take only 2 hours and 30 minutes to reach Paris. It's much faster to travel by train than by bus or by car. This is because people have to drive cars or buses very carefully and slowly for many reasons, such as speed limits and traffic jams(堵塞).However, when you are travelling by train, the speed is almost the same and there is no traffic jam for a train.
Besides，Londoners think taking a train is one of the safest ways of travelling on the ground. Trains take quite a number of quality tests while they are made. More importantly，they have to take many safety checks before they are used on the rail track.
What's more, trains in Britain are comfortable(舒适的)and provide fine services for their users.When you are on a London train, you will find that the train has comfortable tables and seats where people can sit. They also provide food services and power plugs(电源插头)for personal computers or mobile phone.
57. Londoners often travel by train because trains are .
A. old and slow B. large，clean and powerful
C. fine and important D. fast，safe and comfortable
58. The 3rd paragraph of the passage mainly talks about the of trains.
A. speed B. safety C. services D. problems
59. What can we know from the passage?
A. We can travel from London to Paris in less than 2 hours.
B. We can do our work with personal computers on the train.
C. We have to wait till we get off the train in order to have some food.
D. The trains are only checked for quality reasons before they are used.

Take a look at teenagers around, dressed in baggy-pants(宽松的裤子)，drinking soft drinks such as coke，reading Japanese cartoons. Whether you are in Beijing, Wuhan or Hong Kong, you'll get the same impression. But should we copy others or should we maintain(保持，保留)our differences?
It sounds convenient(方便)that people around the world speak the same language，dress in the same style，eat the same food and play the same games. If the world was like this，you won't feel any stranger in any corner of world. But just imagine living in such a strange world. How dull and colorless it would be!
Different kinds of food that people can taste, the colorful and fashionable clothes that we dress in and different languages we speak are all part of the different cultures that our ancestors(祖先)left us. These differences represent their creativity and talent. And we all enjoy different cultures in our daily lives. When you travel to other places, you want to see different things. When you talk to foreigners you expect to listen to interesting stories. These differences in culture are what make life colorful.
But the whole world is shrinking into a small village as globalization(全球化)takes effect
and many different cultures are disappearing. In most big cities around the world people wear the same clothes. Fast food stores are everywhere. Hollywood movies are kicking traditional performing arts out of our lives. The colors of our life are disappearing.
There is a joke that even the panda and zebra want to live a colorful life. So let's take action to protect our colorful culture before it becomes as simple as black and white.
It's not difficult. Learning some folk songs，trying on traditional clothing and even eating local food instead of going to KFC can help. And we're sure you'll enjoy it.
