If you have a brother or sister, you already know you are different from each other. You live together in the same house and the same parents, but you have different personalities(性格).
Why is this? One possible reason is the way your parent treat you.
First –born children receive all the attention from their parents. Most families have twice as many photos of a first-born than any other child. Parents usually give first-born more responsibility and depend on them to take care of younger brothers and sisters. As a result, first -born are often responsible, hard-working, and jealous(嫉妒的). They often want to do well at school and work. There are more first-born American Presidents, for example, George Bush, George Washington, and Lyndon Baines Johnson than second or last-born children.
When a second child arrives, parents are more relaxed. The second child has to compete(媲美) with the first-born for the parents’ attention and love. Their children often choose different sports and hobbies to do well at school and work, but have to be creative to get their family’s attention. They are often friendly and cool. Many famous talk-show hosts were born last.
【小题1】The writer thinks that the second children are often ______.
A.outgoing and jealous |
B.cool and friendly |
C.hard-working and serious |
D.creative and responsible |
A.关注 | B.溺爱 |
C.快乐 | D.责任感 |
A.The eldest child | B.The second child |
C.The youngest child | D.The father |
A.the second child is very similar to the first-born child |
B.brothers and sisters usually have the same personalities |
C.it’s easy for the second child to get his or her parents’ attention |
D.there are more first-born successful people than second or last-born people |
A.birth order and personalities |
B.the personalities of the second child in a family |
C.the personalities of the eldest child in a family |
D.the personalities of the youngest child in a family |

Planes are fast, but they still take hours to get out of the airport and into the city.

Many students feel it difficult to remember new words when they begin to study English. Now I will give you some advice. 1. Do not waste(浪费) time in learning a list(词汇) of English words. It is the hardest way to remember English words. How do you learn to speak Chinese? You did it by listening carefully to the people talking to each other. You can find radio programs, TV programs and records, and listen to them carefully. The best way to learn all new words is through ear. As you listen to more and more dialogues, you will learn how English is pronounced in phrases and sentences. Of course, it is not enough to learn new words; you must learn how words are put together, and why some words in English are emphasized. 2. Some people have found that they can learn the names of everyday objects, such as box, cup, desk and so on, in the following way. They write the names of subjects, they say the words. Try this and see if this way works for you. If it does not, then go on to practice your dialogues.
