If parents bring up a child with the aim of turning the child into a genius（天才）, they will cause great damage to him. According to several leading educational experts, this is one of the biggest mistakes that some parents make. Generally, the child will understand very well what the parents expect. and will fall. Unrealistic（不現(xiàn)實(shí)）expectations of the parents can cause great damage to children.
However, if parents are not unrealistic about what they expect their children to do, but are hopeful in a sensible（明智）way, the child may succeed in doing very well—especially if the parents are very supportive（支持的）to their children.
Michael Li is very lucky. He likes music and his parents help him a lot by taking him to concerts and let him attend piano and violin lessons. Although Michael's mother knows very little about music, his father is a good musician. 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（水平）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 enter.” Winston's father tells him. Winston is always afraid that he will disappoint his parents and now he always quiet and unhappy.

閱讀短文，根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容回答問題。（共10分，每小題2分）
“I sometimes get up at three or four in the morning to surf the Internet.”
“I check my e-mail almost forty times a day.”
“I seldom spend less than three hours each time on the net.”
“Spend more time in chat rooms than with my real-life friends.”
Do you know any people like these? They are part of a new addiction(癮) called Internet addiction. According to experts, Internet addicts(迷)spend at least thirty to forty hours online every week. They lose control of the time they spend on the Internet.
For example, one college student was missing for several days. His friends were worried and 1ooked for him everywhere but couldn’t find him. They called the police. The police found the student in the computer lab: he was surfing the Internet — for seven days straight.
A study shows that about six to ten percent of Internet users become addicted. The teenagers spend more time on the Internet than with families. That’s why some experts worry most about young people.
Is “surfing the Internet” a hobby or all addiction for you? You may have a problem if you have one of the following symptoms(癥狀):

★You can’t wait to get online again.
★You go out with your friends less and less.
★You’ve decided to spend a short time online，but then you spend several hours.
★You do not go to important family events or you do not do school projects because you like to spend hours on the Internet.
What is the solution(解決辦法)? Some experts suggest that people set strict limits(限制) on their time for Internet use. You have to learn to control it, or the Internet would control you.
小題1:Do Internet addicts spend at least thirty to forty hours online every week?
小題2:Where was the missing college student found?
小題3:Why do some experts worry most about young people?
小題4:How many symptoms are mentioned in the passage?
小題5:What’s the passage mainly about?

根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，判斷下列句子的正誤，正確的用“T”，錯誤的用“F”。（每小題1分，共5分）

There are many wetlands (濕地) in China and some of them have become the world's important wetlands.
The Chinese Yellow Sea Wetlands are among them. They are in Yancheng, Jiangsu Province. They are home for many different kinds of birds and animals. The world's largest Milu Deer Nature Reserve (自然保護(hù)區(qū)) is in them. More than 700 Milu deer live freely there. There are not many red-Crowned cranes in the world, but every winter you can see some in the red-Crowned Nature Reserve in the Yellow Sea Wetlands.
The temperature in the wetlands is usually neither too high nor too low. There is a lot of rain and sunshine, too. They are really good places for wildlife (野生動物). Offering food and home for some special kinds of animals and birds is not the only reason why we need to protect wetlands. Wetlands are important because they also prevent flood. But some people want to change the wetlands to make more space for farms and buildings. This means there will be less and less space for wildlife.
Luckily, more and more people are beginning to realize the importance of wetlands and wildlife. Every year, on February 2nd, many activities are held to tell people more about wetlands. 
小題1:The Chinese Yellow Sea Wetlands are in the west of China.
小題2:Usually the weather in the wetlands is pleasant.
小題3:February 2nd is the world's wetlands Day.
小題4:We must protect wetlands only because they can offer food to the animals and birds.
小題5:Wetlands are valuable resources of land on the earth.
