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

makes Michael enter music competitions if he is unwilling. Winston Smith, Michaels

precipitation and drainage to the ocean. More than 24,000 cubic miles of rain descend
annually upon the continents. This vast amount is required to replenish the lakes and
streams, springs and water tables on which all flora and fauna are dependent. Thus, the
hydrosphere permits organic existence. The hydrosphere has strange characteristics
because water has properties unlike those of any other liquid. One anomaly is that water
upon freezing expands by about 9 percent, whereas most liquids contract on cooling. For
this reason, ice floats on water bodies instead of sinking to the bottom. If the ice sank, the
hydrosphere would soon be frozen solidly, except for a thin layer of surface melt water
during the summer season. Thus, all aquatic life would be destroyed and the interchange
of warm and cold currents, which moderates climate, would be notably absent. Another
outstanding characteristic of water is that water has a heat capacity which is the
highest of all liquids and solids except ammonia. This characteristic enables the oceans to
absorb and store vast quantities of heat, thereby often preventing climatic extremes. In
addition, water dissolves more substances than any other liquid. It is this characteristic
which helps make oceans a great storehouse for minerals which have been washed down
from the continents. In several areas of the world these minerals are being commercially
exploited. Solar evaporation of salt is widely practiced, potash is extracted from the Dead
Sea, and magnesium is produced from sea water along the
American Gulf Coast.
Cu 46: The authors main purpose in this passage is to _______.
A. explain how water is used in commerce and industry
B. compare water with other liquids
C. illustrate the importance of conserving water
D. describe the properties and uses of water
Cu 47: According to the passage, fish can survive in the oceans because _______.
A. they do not need oxygen
B. ice floats
C. evaporation and condensation create a water cycle
