IV. Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet

If parents bring up a child with the sole aim of turning the child into a genius, they will cause

disaster. This is one of the biggest mistakes which ambitious parents make. 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

ambitious in a sensible way, the child may succeed in doing very well- especially if the

parents are very supportive of their child.

Do An Duc is very lucky. He is crazy about music, and his parents help him a lot by taking

to concerts and arranging piano and violin lessons for him. Although Do An Duc's parents

know very little about music, they have tried their best to help their son with his interest.

However, they never make him enter music competition if he is unwilling.

Duc's friend, Vu Hoang Duy, however, is not so lucky. Although his parents are successful

musicians, they set too high a standard for Duy. They want their son to be successful as

they are so they enter him for every piano competition held. They are very unhappy when

he doesn't win. "When I was at your age, I used to win every competition I entered," Duy's

father tells him. Duy is always afraid that he will disappoint his parents and now he always

seems quiet and unhappy.
