Have you ever thought about why you are the way you are And what does your personality connect with Recent research has showed that the order in which we are born in our family plays a very important role in forming personality.
The only children
Only children are people who are proactive: they are grown-up early. They are energetic and organized and they love facts and details. On the other hand, they hate to be punished and they can seem far too sensitive to other people. They can become angry if they don't get their own way.
The eldest child
Being the only child, the eldest enjoys all their parents’ attention. However, new parents usually expect to see their child do well. And the eldest child generally tries to meet these expectations. As a result, the eldest children are usually polite and traditional, and they are often ambitious(有野心的) and hard-working, and usually score higher marks on achievement tests. The problems come with the birth of another child. Suddenly the attention they're used to receiving becomes weaker. Then, they don't feel safe and will try to do all they can to make their parents happy.
The second child
The second child has no experience of life without a brother or sister, so they never know how their brothers or sisters feel when they suddenly have to share the parents' attention. The second children are often more outgoing(外向的) but they can be un ambitious and they are often unsure what to do with their lives. They are always looking for ways to get attention. One of the most common ways to achieve this is by making people laugh and the second children are often the jokers of the family. Again, problems can appear when another baby arrives. Suddenly, the second child becomes the middle child and may lose a clear sense of where they are.
The third child
With the birth of their third baby, parents will often feel this is their last chance to bring up a child. This means the youngest child, more often than not, is spoilt(溺爱)with attention and love. This can lead them to be very self-centred, believing that the world moves around them. They are always treated as the "baby" of the family so they don't do as well as they could do. They like doing things in unexpected ways, so they are also likely to be creative. They usually have good people skills. They are sociable and love pleasing others.
( )6. What influences people's personality a lot according to the passage
A. Birth place. B. Birth weight.
C. Birth way. D. Birth order.
( )7. What does the underlined word "they" in Paragraph 4 refer to
A. The eldest children. B. The second children.
C. The third children. D. The parents.
( )8. Compared to the first child, the second child is _____ according to the passage.
A. more polite and traditional B. more humorous and outgoing
C. more creative and confident D. more self-centred and creative
( )9. According to the passage, if Tom thinks mainly about himself and always has new ideas, he might be _______.
A. the eldest child B. the second child
C. the third child D. the only child
