In any family with more than one child, children seem to naturally compete for their parents’ love and attention. Parents say they love every child equally. But is that true?
Susan, founder of a consulting firm in Chicago, interviewed 216 women and found that even though none of her questions asked directly about a parent favoring one child over another, about two-third of the women said there was a favored child. And they also remembered their experience when they were young. One of the women said, “My mother always liked my brother better, and he got to summer camp in 1968 and I didn’t.
Plumez, who interviewed parents with both biological children (亲生孩子 ) and adoptive children for an adoption book in 2008, found that what matters most is whether your temperaments (性情 ) are pleasing. “In some cases, parents would say they felt closer to their adopted children, ”she says. “Some parents like the children with characters similar to theirs. Two people who are shy and withdrawn (内向的) might get along well, unless the shy parent doesn’t like that aspect of themselves and they try to push the naturally withdrawn child to be more extroverted.”
It could be a result of gender, birth order or how easy or difficult a child’s temperament may be, but a parent’s different treatment has far-reaching effects. Studies have found that less-favored children may suffer emotionally, with decreased self-esteem and behavioral problems in children. Favoritism (偏爱) is a reason for the next generation not to like each other.
Experts say it’s not realistic to say everyone should be treated equally, because no two people are the same and they related differently to others.
“It does not mean the parent loves or likes one child more. It has to do with which one of them is independent,” says psychologist Lauriet Kramer of the University of Illinois.
1.The study carried out by Susan shows that ________.
A. showing favoritism is common in many families
B. most mothers like their sons better than their daughters
C. only two-thirds of the women interviewed have more than a child
D. it is favoritism that leads to absence of harmony in most families
2.The underlined word “ extroverted” in the third paragraph means ________.
A. independentB. outgoingC. easygoingD. awful
3.What can we infer from the passage?
A. Favoritism is not beneficial to the development of children
B. Parents’ favoritism to a certain child can’t be avoided in families.
C. Parents may be favorite one of their children and don’t realize it.
D. People are very much shaped by how they were treated by their parents.
4.What’s the best title for the passage?
A. Parents’ favoritism can affect children deeply
B. Why do parents show favoritism to children?
C. Parents should give attention to all their children
D. Building a harmonious family is important to children

As Rosalie Warren stood at the mailbox in the lobby of her apartment building in May 1980, she shared the anxiety of many other college seniors. In her hand was an envelope containing her final grades. As she nervously opened it, Warren wondered whether her hundreds of hours of studying had paid off.
They had.
“I got five A’s,” she still recalls with elation. “I almost fell on the floor!”
Warren would graduate from Suffolk University with a Bachelor of Science degree in philosophy and history at age 80. Three years later, at age 83; she would receive her second degree from Suffolk, a master’s in education.
Now, with both diplomas proudly displayed in her apartment, Warren is not finished with learning. Now 93, she continues for her 18th year at Suffolk under a program that allows persons 65 and over to attend classes tuition free. “It’s my life to go to school, to enjoy being in an academic atmosphere,” she says. “That’s what I love.”
Warren was born Rosalie Levey on Aug.29, 1900. Two years after she entered high school, her father died. Warren had to leave school for factory work to help support her family’s 10 children. Warren describes herself as a “person who always liked school,” and she says the move “broke my heart completely because I couldn’t finish high school.”
In the end, however, “I went to school nights,” she recalls. “Any place I could find an outlet of learning and teaching, I was there.”
A short time later, her mother became ill, and Warren had to care for her, once again putting her education on hold.
Finally, in 1921, her mother, now recovered, drew from her saving to send Warren to Boston University for two years to study typing, stenography, and office procedures.
Those courses helped Warren gain several long-term office positions over the next 60 years, but her great desire “to be in the academic field” continued.
In 1924, she married Eugene Warren, and seven years later, her daughter, Corinne, was born. In 1955, by then a widow and a grandmother, Warren took a bus tour across the United States that was to last nine months. She said she wanted to see “things you never see in the West End.”
When she returned home, she took a bookkeeping position and also enrolled in courses in philosophy, sociology and Chinese history.
In 1975, when she was 75, Warren learned from a neighbor about Suffolk University’s tuition-free program for senior citizens.” I was at the registrar’s office the very next day,” she recalls. At first, she took one or two courses at a time, but encouraged by her professors, she enrolled as a degree candidate.
“I had not studied for so many years,” she says, “but I was determined.” For the next four years, Warren, who calls herself a “student of philosophy,” worked toward her degree.
Nancy Stoll, dean of students at Suffolk, says Warren is “an interesting role model for our younger students—that learning is a lifetime activity...She is genuinely enthusiastic about being here, and that permeates (散发) her activities and is contagious (传染的) to students and faculty.”
1.What does the word elation mean in the sentence “I got fives A’s”, she still recalls with elation”?
A. Great happiness.B. Great surprise.
C. Great pride.D. Great honor.
2.Which statement can be inferred from the underlined sentences?
A. Because Warren needn’t pay her tuition; she went to study at Suffolk University.
B. At first Warren had to pay for her courses at Suffolk University.
C. Most of the students at Suffolk University are older than 65.
D. Suffolk University encourages older people to take courses.
3.It can be inferred from this passage that Rosalie Warren _______.
A. came from a wealthy family
B. didn’t like working in an office
C. put her family before her education
D. didn’t like her family very much
4.What is the main topic of this passage?
A. Rosalie Warren’s family
B. Rosalie Warren’s life
C. Rosalie Warren’s education
D. Rosalie Warren’s studying at Suffolk University
