Key: DMy Resignation
I am here officially presenting my resignation as an adult. I have decided to accept the responsibilities of an eight-year-old again. I want to go to McDonald’s and think it’s a four-star restaurant. I want to think M&M’s are better than money because you can eat them. I want to play ball and paint with watercolors in art. I want to lie under a big oak tree and run a lemonade stand with my friends on a hot summer’s day. Reading I want to return to a time when life was simple. When all you knew were only colors, multiplication tables, and nursery rhymes, but that didn’t bother you, because you didn’t know what you didn’t know and you didn’t care. All you knew was to be happy because luckily you were unaware of all the things that should make you worried or upset. I want to think the world is fair and that everyone is honest and good. I want to believe that anything is possible.
Then we grew up and learned too much. There are nuclear weapons, war, hunger, and homeless children, lies, unhappy marriages, illness, pain, and death. A world where companies pollute our water and our soil and people kill each other.
I want to escape from all the complexities of life and be excited by the little things again. I want to return to the days when children played hide-n-seek outside instead of being glued to a television. I remember being na?ve and thinking everyone was happy because I was. Afternoons were spent climbing trees and fences and riding my bike. I never worried about time, bills, or where I was going to find the money to fix my car. I used to wonder what I was going to do or be when I grew up. I want to live simply again. I don’t want my day to consist of busy schedules, mountains of paperwork, disturbing news, doctor’s bills, gossip, illness, and loss of loved one.
I want to believe in the power of smiles, hugs, a kind word, truth, justice, peace, dreams, imaginations, mankind…and angels in the snow.
So, here’s my checkbook and my car keys and my credit card bills. I am officially resigning from adulthood. And if you want to discuss this further, you’ll have to catch me first, ’cause, “Tag! You’re it!”1. Read the article and answer the following questions.

4) What was the writer’s childhood like in his memory?
In a word, the writer’s childhood is simple but happy, na?ve but worriless. Childhood in the writer’s memory is vivid and exciting: he could go to McDonald’s and think it’s a four-star restaurant. He could think M&M’s are better than money because you can eat them. He could play ball and paint with watercolors in art, and etc.

Add your own description here: ________________________________________________ (Write the title here.)
If parents bring up a child with the aim of turning the child into a genius, they will cause great damage to him. According to several leading educational psychologists, this is one of the biggest mistakes which some 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.Reading However, if parents are not unrealistic about what they expect their children to do, but are hopeful in a sensible way, the child may succeed in doing very well— especially if the parents are very supportive for their child.
Michael Li is very lucky. He is very fond of 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 twice a week for violin lessons. Although Michael’s mother knows very little about music, Michael’s father plays the trumpet in a large orchestra. However, he never makes Michael enter music competition 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 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 entered.” Winston’s father tells him. Winston is always afraid that he will disappoint his parents and now he always seems quiet and unhappy.Read the article and complete the following sentences by choosing the best answers.
1) The author suggested that _______.
A. if parents bring up a child with a high aim, they can make their child become a genius

Key: A4) Winston Chen’s parents _______.
A. set to high a standard for him
B. want their child to be a musician
C. make their child to achieve too much

A. bring up a child is not easy
B. all sensible parents can train their children to succeed in everything
C. children need a lot of freedom

1) Whose parents do you agree with, Michael’s or Winston’s? Why?
2) What is the article mainly about?
3) Have you noticed that there’s no title for the article? Can you give one?
