The complete question is: Read the passage from Two Kinds.” Three days after watching The Ed Sullivan Show, my mother told me what my schedule would be for piano lessons and piano practice. She had talked to Mr. Chong, who lived on the first floor of our apartment building. Mr. Chong was a retired piano teacher and my mother had traded housecleaning services for weekly lessons and a piano for me to practice every day, two hours a day, from four until six. When my mother told me this, I felt as though I had been sent to hell. I whined and then kicked my foot a little when I couldn't stand it anymore. Why don't you like me the way I am? I'm not a genius! I can't play the piano. And even if I could, I wouldn't go on TV if you paid me a million dollars! I cried. My mother slapped me. Who asks you to be a genius? she shouted. Only ask you to be your best. For your sake. Do you think I want you to be a genius? Hnnh! What for! Who asks you! So ungrateful, I heard her mutter in Chinese, If she had as much talent as she has a temper, she would be famous now.
