24、Would you like to have a brother or a sister? Years ago this might have sounded impossible to many. But since several years ago, with the end of China’s “one-child policy(政策)”, this could actually happen now. All Chinese couples are allowed to have two children. It means that many Chinese children may have siblings(兄弟姐妹) in the future.
What would it be like growing up with a brother or a sister? Having a sibling can stop children from bad feelings, according to Laura Padilla-Walker, a teacher from Brigham Young University, US. “Siblings give children something that parents can’t,” she said. You may not feel lonely at home any more because there is someone to play with you. You can also share secrets with him or her.
“But children with siblings also have to learn to control(控制) their feelings,” said Padilla-Walker. You need to share things with them, such as attention from parents, toys, the bathroom and the TV. There are also unpleasant situations such as competition, name-calling and even hair-pulling.
Even the birth order of siblings could matter too. US psychologist Kevin Leman said that birth order decides the way parents treat their children, thus causing different personalities between siblings.
Leman explained that parents are usually more strict with their first child. So firstborns may be perfect because parents set high goals(目标) for them. They usually act well and hope to succeed. When the couple has a second child, they have fewer rules. So late-born children are usually more creative. They also love attention. It is said that many of them also have a good sense of humor.
【1】The underlined word “this” in Paragraph 1 refers to(指) ______.
A.one-child policy
B.having a brother or a sister
C.the end of “one-child policy”
D.being allowed to have two children
【2】In Paragraph 2, the writer mainly tells us ______.
A.the advantages of having a sibling
B.how to look after a sibling
C.how to get on well with a sibling
D.the secrets of having a sibling
【3】According to Kevin Leman, ______.
A.late-born children are usually successful at school
B.having a sibling can stop children from bad feelings
C.parents are usually more strict with their first-born child
D.children with siblings have to learn to control their feelings
