Answer 1

【答案】

【1】C

【2】E

【3】B

【4】D

【解析】

你是獨生子嗎？還是有姐妹或兄弟？這樣不同的家庭情況也不同，有時候你能和你的姐妹或兄弟和諧相處，有時候也會吵架。而且心理學家認為出生的順序對孩子的性格也有影響。

【1】下句話“How would things be different?”“事情有怎樣的不同”，由此可知，這里應與上文表示相反的內容，如果你不是家里唯一的孩子，即“如果你有一個姐姐或哥哥”，故選C。

【2】根據(jù)空前“You could play with him or her. You could talk about lots of things and tell your secrets to him/her.” “你可以和他/她一起玩；你們可以談論很多事，告訴她/他你的秘密”，這些都是和諧相處的例子，E選項“你們甚至可以相互照顧”，符合文意。故選E。

【3】根據(jù)上下文“According to Leman, parents are usually nervous and strict with their first child. They set high goals for them._____3_____They are also often confident(自信的)people.”可知，這里說的是家庭中最大的那個孩子，他們有高目標，經常很自信，B選項“所以一個家庭里最大的孩子想要成功、完美”符合語境，故選B。

【4】根據(jù)文意可知，這一段說的是家庭中后出生的孩子的情況，D選項“較小的孩子規(guī)矩更少”符合語境。故選D。
