It has long been thought that first-born children are more successful than their younger brothers and sisters and often have qualities of being more organised and responsible as well as being eager to be in charge.
But a new study has shown that the elder child's achievements can help improve their younger siblings(兄弟姐妹) exam results by helping them to raise their game. For the first time ever, researchers from the University of Essex examined how the success of first born children in school affected their younger brothers and sisters by studying primary school test results.
And the data showed that having an older brother or sister improved a child’s learning with the equal effect of spending an extra 670 on the younger sibling's schooling. One of the study’s authors Birgitta Rabe explained, the older sibling’s achievement may have a direct effect on the younger sibling’s school grades if the older sibling teaches the younger sibling or helps with homework; the younger sibling imitates(模仿) the older sibling, for example in their work style, or tries to be different, for example to avoid competition; the older sibling passes on important information about educational choices or school and teachers to the younger sibling.
The effect is even more noticeable in less well-off families showing poorer children benefit more from a successful older sibling. “We find that the effect is larger for siblings in families relying on free school meals, living in poverty and speaking a language other than English at home. This means that children who live in poverty benefit more from a successful older sibling than children who live in well-off families.”
1.The study is mainly based on the children’s ________.
A. exam results B. work style
C. family background D. educational choices
2.According to the study, ________ tend to benefit more from a successful older sibling.
A. the children who live in rich families
B. the children who live in poor families
C. the children whose parents are successful
D. the children whose mother language is English
3.What can we conclude from the study?
A. Younger siblings are more successful than first borns.
B. First-born children are as successful as their younger siblings.
C. First-born children are more successful than their younger siblings.
D. The success of first borns has positive effects on their younger siblings.
4.The passage is likely to appear in ________.
A. a newspaper advertisement
B. a high school textbook
C. a science magazine
D. a news report

Too many people put off things that could bring them joy just because they haven’t thought about them, don’t have them on their schedules or are too stubborn to leave from their regular daily things.
One day I thought about all those women on the Titanic who refused sweet foods at dinner that fateful(命中注定的)night to cut out fatty foods. From then on, I’ve tried to be a little more changeable.
I cannot count the times I called my sister and said, “How about going to lunch in half an hour?” She would stammer (结巴地说),“I can’t , I have clothes to wash. My hair is dirty. I wish I had known yesterday. I had a late breakfast. It looks like rain.” She died a few years ago. We never did have lunch together.
We live on promises we make to ourselves when all the conditions are perfect. We’ll go back and visit the grandparents when we get our baby, Stevie, toilet-trained. We’ll enjoy when we replace the living room carpet. We’ll go on a second honeymoon when we get two more kids out of college.
Life has a way accelerating as we get older. The days get shorter, and the list of promises to ourselves gets longer. One morning, we wake up, and all we have to show for our lives is a long list of “I’m going to”, “I plan on” and “Someday, when things settle down a bit”.
