試題詳情
Birth order-- does it matter？Are you different because you are the list，second，or third child 的your family or maybe the last of nine？
A study found that first-borns have an average （平均的） 1 Q that is three points higher than people who fall into a different place in the birth order，perhaps because fist borns often help younger brothers and sisters，which improves their own skills.In 2007，an international organization of CEOs found that 43% of CEOs are first-borns，33% are middle children，and 23% are last-borns.Fist-borns are more likely to be doctors and astronauts and get higher pay.
If first-borns are more successful last-borns are generally more agreeable （討人喜歡的） They are also more likely to be funny，possibly to get attention from all the older people at the dinner table.Mark Twain and Stephen Colbert are both the youngest in large families，and Jim Carrey is the youngest among his siblings （兄弟姐妹）.According to a 2007 Time magazine article "The Power of Birth Order"，last-borns are more likely to be artists and successful businessmen.
Then there are the middle children：we have not ignored （忽視） them!Many middle children are short of on-on-one time with their parents.They often feel short-changed：the oldest gets more rights，and the youngest is spoiled （寵壞）.Though middle children may be ignored，they are more likely to grow into easygoing adults.
Many factors （因素） make us who we are，but if the research is correct，birth order may be one of the most important factors.

1．Dear Dr Lee，
The days of mine are not all sunny.As a middle school student，I have many problems.On the one hand，I am under great pressure（壓力） in my studies，I need to take the exams every month.If I fall behind other students，I will feel that I am not doing well.I always want to be the best，but things can't go on my way.On the other hand，I don't want to talk to my parents about my problems.If they ask me questions，I will answer them with few words.I think they won't understand me.And my body grows fast，changes happen in me，I can't control my emotion（情緒）.What should I do？
LauraDear Laura，
It's normal to have these problems.But don't worry.The life is not always wonderful.Everybody has growing pains（痛苦） on their way to the growth.But the time is fair（公平的），gains（收獲） are always with pains.Growing pains seem full of knowledge and experience.Although there's so much homework，so many exams，and so many different ideas between the parents and you，you will learn how to make your dreams come true by working hard and how to understand each other by talking with your parents.Growing pains worry you a lot but they will give you power（力量） and confidence（自信） at the same time.They can help you to be successful and make more friends as well.Successes and friendships can make you happy and enjoyable.Both pains and gains can make your life more colorful.So I think what you need to do is learning to adjust（調(diào)節(jié)） yourself and get used to these changes.You need to open your heart and have less pressure.
Dr Lee

3．Dear Laura，
Thanks for your message.Yes，I'm having a great time on my exchange program in France.I was a bit nervous before I arrived here，but there was no reason to be.My host family is really nice.They go out of their way to make me feel at home.The grandmother has a teenage granddaughter about my age who is rally kind.She always talks to me in French to help me practice.And you wouldn't believe how quickly my French has improved!I'm very comfortable speaking French now.
Although I still make lots of mistakes，it doesn't worry me as it used to.
My biggest challenge is learning how to behave at the dinner table As you can imagine，things are really different from the way they are at home.For example，you shouldn't put your bread on your plate.You are supposed to put it on the table!I thought that was pretty strange at first，but now I'm used to it.You shouldn't eat anything with your hands except bred，not even fruit!You have to cut it up and eat it with a fork.Another thing is that it is very impolite to say you're full If you don't want any more food，you should just say， "It was delicious.".Also，you shouldn't put your elbow on the table I have to say that I find it difficult to remember everything，but I'm gradually getting used to it.I don't find French customs so strange any more.
Dear Laura，I'll write again soon and tell you more about my life in France.Hope you are having a good school year.
Yours，
Lin Yue
