Sibling competition was identified as an important shaping force as early as in 1918. But more recently, researchers have found many ways in which brothers and sisters are a lasting force in each others’ lives. Dr. Annette Henderson says firstborn children pick up vocabulary more quickly than their siblings. The reason for this might be that the later children aren’t getting the same one-on-one time with parents. But that doesn’t mean that the younger children have problems with language development. Later-borns don’t enjoy that much talking time with parents, but instead they harvest lessons from bigger brothers and sisters, learning entire phrases and getting an understanding of social concepts such as the difference between “I” and “me”.
A Cambridge University study of 140 children found that siblings created a rich world of play that helped them grow socially. Love-hate relationships were common among the children. Even those siblings who fought the most had just as much positive communication as the other sibling pairs.
One way children seek more attention from parents is by making themselves different from their siblings, particularly if they are close in age. Researchers have found that the first two children in a family are typically more different from each other than the second and third. Girls with brothers show their differences to a maximum degree by being more feminine than girls with sisters. A 2003 research paper studied adolescents from 185 families over two years, finding that those who changed to make themselves different from their siblings were successful in increasing the amount of warmth they gained from their parents.

Last Christmas, my wife and I managed to hide a few large presents in the storeroom. I feared the moment when my son, Jimmy, would me where that new bike had come from, but he did not see it.
On Christmas Eve, it took the children hours to go to sleep. It must have been nearly when my wife and I went quietly into their room and began stockings. Then I pushed in the I bought for Jimmy and left it beside the Christmas tree. We knew we would not get sleep that night, for the children were to get up early. At about five o"clock the next morning, we were woken by loud sounds coming from the children"s room - they were shouting excitedly! I had time to get out of bed, young Jimmy came into the room on his new bike, and his sister, Mary, close behind pushing her new baby carriage. Even the baby arrived, he moved the hands and knees into the room dragging a large balloon behind him. Suddenly it burst. That woke up completely. The day had really begun with a bang(巨响).

He wasn"t used to buying jewelry and was a little worried about overspending. After some discussion as to reasonable price and type(类型), the assistant showed him dozens of necklaces and helped him to choose. At last James chose one and left the shop promising to return at five o"clock. When, half an hour later, James did return to the shop with his future wife, Laura, the assistant acted as if she had never seen him before. When she was asked to show them some necklaces, she first brought out some inexpensive ones for them to choose and then gave them the one she had prepared.

The bus started at 6:10 a. m. It stopped at 4 airports before we finally arrived,which wasted more time than we expected. Tired with long sitting,one passenger stood up to relax his numbed legs. The driver asked him to sit down but in vain. So he pulled up and said seriously, “Either you get off or sit down.” To him, safety is the first policy.
Cambridge consists of over thirty colleges. The oldest part of the university was built in the 13th century while the newest was founded in the mid 1960s.The number of the students is so great that many students live in lodgings(出租房)and move into college for their final year.
Cambridge is called a university town because there is no clear separation between the university buildings and the rest of the city. The university is not just one part of the town;it is all over the town. The heart of Cambridge has shops,pubs,and supermarkets,but most of it is university-colleges,departments,libraries,clubs and other places for university staff and students. Students fill the shops,cafes,banks and churches,making these as well part of the university.
With over 10,000 undergraduates and postgraduates, the town is a busy place indeed. Students here are not allowed to keep cars. If you happen to be walking in the street during a break,better stop a moment to avoid the boiling sea of bicycles hurrying in all directions,carrying students from one college or lecture room to another.

Offshore, the ship E.S. Newman was caught in the storm. The captain, whose wife and child were on the ship, feared the Newman would soon break up. He made the decision to beach his ship, then fired a signal, praying that someone onshore would see it.
Meekins, whose eyes were trained to cut through rain and surf mists, thought he saw the signal, but so much spray (水雾) covered the lookout windows that he could hardly make sure. Still, he took no chances. After summoning (召集) the station keeper, Captain Richard Etheridge, Meekins set off a coston signal, a signal made by using lamps of different colors. Together, the two men searched the darkness for a reply. A few moments later, they saw a flash of light to the south and knew a shop was in distress (遇险). Even before the return signal burned out, Etheridge had summoned his men and begun rescue operations.
For the lifesavers, the rescue of the Newman was nothing unusual. Over the years, so many ships had foundered off the Outer Banks that sailors called the region the Graveyard of the Atlantic. Noting the dangerous surf and wind conditions, Captain Etheridge quickly decided the surf boats would be impossible to control. Instead, he decided to use another way to help the survivors.
The crew set off on the long journey down the beach to the scene of the wreck (海滩). Captain Etheridge hoped to fire a line from a gun to the ship’s mast (船桅). After the ship’s crew dragged the line onboard, the surfmen would fire a second line and carry survivors safely to shore.
The surfmen crossed three miles of sand to reach the ship Newman. The water was freezing, and the men often sank up to their knees in sand. Captain Etheridge noted in his diary that “the voice of gladdened hearts greeted the arrival of the station crew,” but that “it seemed impossible for them to do anything under such circumstances. The work was often stopped by the sweeping current.”
Even when the rescue equipment proved useless, Etheridge refused to give up. Choosing two of his strongest surfmen, he tied rope lines around their waists and sent them into the water. The two men, holding a line from shore, walked with huge effort as far as they could before diving through the waves. Nearly worn out while swimming against the tide, they finally made it to the shore.
The first to be rescued were the captain’s wife and child. With the two passengers tied to their backs, the surfmen fought their way back to shore. Taking turns, Etheridge and his crew made ten trips to the Newman, saving every person onboard. It was 1:00 a.m. when the crew and survivors finally made it back to the station.
That night, as the exhausted survivors lay sleeping and his lifesaving crew rested, Captain Etheridge picked up his pen, and in the light of an oil lantern, wrote with satisfaction that all the people onboard had been saved and were “sheltered in this station”—words he would remember for many years to come.
小题1:The beach patrols were canceled because ________.
A.Meekins paid enough attention to the horizon |
B.there was too much spray on the windows |
C.the winds and tide were too strong |
D.there was no ship near the station |
A.stopped | B.sank | C.sailed | D.arrived |
A.To warn sailors of the dangers of hurricanes. |
B.To create a story describing a rescue at sea. |
C.To inform people about Richard Etheridge. |
D.To record the details about the Newman. |
A.The newman was very dangerous before Richard Etheridge and his team members saw the signal. |
B.A terrible hurricane took place off the coast of North Carolina and threatened the lives of many sailors. |
C.At no other time in American history have so many shipwrecked passengers survived such a violent storm. |
D.All the passengers of a shipwreck were rescued because of heroic the efforts of a special leader and his crew. |
From the time I was seven, I had a dream of becoming a member of the Students Union. I always
31 my school leaders for taking responsibility for all of us. So I dreamed of being a leader.
Years flew by, and soon I was able to take part in the elections, 32 I would win. But the reality struck that I hadn’t had a chance. I wasn’t pretty. Girls across the school hardly knew me. I just did not have what it 33 to win a school election. I was depressed.
As I cried in my room that evening, I 34 took a deep breath and decided I wouldn’t stop dreaming. I decided that I would stand for elections again in my final year at school — and I would win.
I recognized that my 35 had a lot of things in their favor. What were the 36 that would work in my favor? I had good grades, and I was friendly and helpful. And my biggest strength was the
37 I had. I would not allow my plain appearance to hold me 38 from putting my best foot forward. That evening, I began my election plans a whole year ahead of time.
I realized that the girls would have to get to know me and recognize that I had the ability to 39
them. I loved making friends and I liked being helpful, 40 I decided that perhaps I could use these qualities to work to my advantage. In order to learn how to deliver a great election 41 , I also attended a course on effective public speaking.
The day after the election, when the principal announced I won the second highest number of votes, the students 42 . That joy on the faces of all my friends showed me that my victory was also theirs.
Suddenly, I realized that I had 43 much more than I had dreamed of. I had made many new friends and had helped people 44 the way. I had won the 45 and love of my school-mates and they knew me as somebody who would stand by them. I was able to put a smile on their faces and brighten their day.
