Birth order within families has long sparked sibling (兄弟姐妹的) rivalry, but it might also impact the child’s personality and intelligence, a new study suggests. Tiffany L. Frank, a doctoral candidate at Adelphi University in Long Island, NY, who lead the study, and her colleagues surveyed 90 pairs of siblings in high school. Subjects were asked to report their grades and rank themselves as compared with their siblings on intelligence, work ethic and academic performance. The researchers also obtained academic tests scores and grades to verify the students’ own reports. (33)First-borns received higher tests scores, in math and verbal ability, while later born children had better grade point averages in English and math. In a second experiment researchers looked at differences in personality between 76 pairs of siblings in high school. Subjects rated themselves on a series of statements designed to assess personality. (34) Later born siblings were found to be more extroverted, sentimental, forgiving and open to new experiences than their older siblings. First-borns were found to be more likely to pursue perfection than their younger siblings. Why? (35)First-borns might score higher on measures of intelligence, because, at some point in their lives, they were only children who were the sole recipients of their parents’ attention. Younger siblings might earn better grades, because they received mentoring from first-borns who already had to tackle certain subjects, the researchers say. Also, later born children might feel extra pressure to be competitive, and might try to out-do their older siblings in the hopes of gaining extra attention from parents. The youngsters might also be more open to new experiences, because they "see the obstacles that their older siblings have overcome and therefore feel more secure in challenging themselves," the researchers say.
33. According to the study, who do better in math and verbal ability?
34. What is the personality of later born children according to the study?
35. Why do the first-borns score higher in intelligence measurement?
选项
A、First-born children.
B、The youngest children.
C、The neglected children.
D、Later born children.
答案
A
解析
事实细节题。短文介绍说,研究发现排行老大的孩子在数学和语言能力测试中得分更高,而排行较小的孩子的英语和数学成绩平均积分点更高。grade point average意为“成绩平均积分点”,是将各学科学分数乘以该科成绩得到的结果相加,再除以总学分数所得指标。
