Question

【題目】 Would you like to have a brother or sister? Months ago this might have sounded impossible to many. But with the end of China’s “one-child policy”, this could actually happen now.1. All Chinese couples are allowed to have two children, which means that many Chinese children may have siblings (兄弟姐妹)in the future.

2. Having a sibling can stop children from having bad feelings such as loneliness and fear, according to Laura, a professor of family research from the US. University, “Siblings give kids something that parents can’t” she said.3.你在家也許不再感到孤單 because there is someone else to play with and you can also talk about different things and share secrets with each other.

But there are downsides, too. You need to share things with your siblings, including attention from parents, toys, the bathroom and even the TV. There could be lots of competition, fights and even hair- pulling. “Children with siblings need to learn to compromise (妥協(xié))and control their feelings,” said Laura.

Even the birth order can make a difference. US Psychologist (心理學(xué)家)4. Kevin Leman said that the birth order decides how parent treat their children. Leman explained that parents are usually very nervous and strict, with their first child, so firstborns are often responsible and eager to succeed. 5.當(dāng)一對(duì)夫婦有第二個(gè)孩子時(shí)，他們沒(méi)那么嚴(yán)厲并且規(guī)矩也會(huì)少些， so late-born kids are usually funny and creative.
