Before， I thought that a man who was wise and good would become rich， but now I know this is not always true． I learned it from my teacher． He is both wise and good， but he is not rich at all． He may become rich if he gives up(放弃) teaching and goes into business． But he likes his job and thinks it，s wonderful to help young people． He stays at school from morning till night and works very hard． He always smiles at us when we go to ask him for help． He is kinder to us than any other teacher in our school． I think it must be easier to learn history or math than to learn how to become a man like him． He scolds(责备 ) us when we do something wrong，but it makes us try to do better．We all wish to study with him as long as possible． But that may be impossible． Some of us may become doctors， some become businessmen， some be- come engineers， some become writers， but we all want one thing very much． It is that we all want to be teachers in the future．

If parents bring up a child with the sole aim of turning the child into a genius, they will cause a big problem. 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 the parent expects, 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 reasonable way, the child may succeed in doing very well—especially if the parents are very supportive of their child. Michael Lee Chao Tin 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 a week for violin lessons. Although Michael’s mother knows very little about music, Michael’s father is a good trumpet player. However, he never makes Michael enter music competitions if he is unwilling. Michael’s friend, Winston Chiu Fang Weng, 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 and so they enter him for 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 entered,” Winston’s father tells him. Winston is always afraid that he will disappoint his parents and now he always seems quiet and unhappy.
