A
As any homemaker who has tried to keep order at the dinner table knows, there is far more to a family meal than food. Sociologist Michael Lewis has been studying 50 families to find out just how much more.
Lewis and his co-workers carried out their study by videotaping the families while they ate ordinary meals in their own homes. They found that parents with small families talk actively with each other and their children. But as the number of children gets larger,conversation gives way to the parents' efforts to control the loud noise they make. That can have an important effect on the children. "In general the more question-asking the parents do, the higher the children's IQ scores," Lewis says. "And the more children there are, the less question-asking there is. "
The study also provides an explanation for why middle children often seem to have a harder time in life than their siblings (兄弟姐妹). Lewis found that in families with three or four children, dinner conversation is likely to center on the oldest child, who has the most to talk about, and the youngest, who needs the most attention. "Middle children are invisible, "says Lewis. "When yon see someone get up from the table and walk around during dinner, chances are it's the middle child. "There is, however, one thing that stops all conversation and prevents anyone from having attention : "When the TV is on," Lewis says,"dinner is a non-event. "

Even a very young child can be taught to calm down by taking a few deep breaths. Siblings（兄弟姐妹）fight sometimes, and it's hard to figure out（判断）who's to blame. Rather than trying, I sometimes helped my children with a breathing exercise． I'd say “Come （来吧）, boys．Let's calm down together.” Then I'll take a deep breath and motion to the children to do the same. When they'd follow, I'd say,“Great! Now let's it out very slowly.”
Children of all ages can be taught diaphragmatic（隔膜的）breathing. With one hand on the chest and one on the abdomen（腹部）, some people find that only the chest moves when they breathe. Breathing with the chest can be a sign of stress. Teenagers can be taught to hold the upper hand still and breathe with the diaphragm so that only the lower hand moves in and out. Diaphragmatic breathing has been shown in clinical （临床的）studies to have a rapid calming effect.
(1) Diaphragmatic breathing is a good way for children to_____.
[ ]
A．get fresh air B．get stronger
C．keep quiet D．become clever
(2) When siblings fight ______.
[ ]
A．the parents should try to find out who is the first to start the fight
B．they should be asked to do a breathing exercise
C．the parents should stop them by saying“Let's calm down together.”
D．the parents should tell them not to do so instead of trying to blame them
(3) Which of the following pictures shows the correct positions of the hands?
[ ]
(4) What moves when the diaphragmatic breathing takes place?
[ ]
A．The chest
B．The abdomen
C．Both the abdomen and the chest
D．Either of the hands
(5) Which of the following gives the best main idea of the passage?
[ ]
A．Fighting siblings should do breathing exercises
B．How to teach children to calm down
C．Teenagers should be taught to breathe with the diaphragm
D．Diaphragmatic breathing and its effect

Jewelweeds are pretty flowers that grow in wet, shady spots all over the Northern Hemisphere. According to a recent experiment, they seem to know their own flower family —or at least, recognize whether or not they came from the same mother plant. Together with other through their leaves, but through their roots.
Scientists planted jewelweeds in pots with either siblings（兄弟姐妹）or strangers. Sibling plants were grown from seeds that came from the same mother plant. Stranger plants were grown from seeds from different plants.
When jewelweeds were planted in pots with strangers, the plants started to grow more leaves than if they had been planted alone. This response suggests that plants are competing with strangers for sunlight, since a plant with more leaves can receive more light and make more food.
When jewelweed seedlings were planted with siblings, they few a few more branches than they normally would if they were alone—but they did not start growing lots of extra leaves. This behavior suggests the plants are more likely to share resources, rather than compete.
The plants only responded this way when they shared soil. If stranger seedlings were planted in different pots and placed next to each other, for example, they did not grow more leaves. This different shows that the plants must use their roots to detect sibling plants in the same soil. In 2007, Dudley and her team studied the Great Lakes sea rocket, a plant that grows on the beach—where it may be hard to get fresh water. In that experiment, the botanists observed that when sea rockets were planed with siblings, they tolerated each other. But when they were planted with strangers, the sea prickets reacted by working extra hard to grow lots of roots, but not extra leaves.
The different types of plants may react in different ways, but they have one thing in common: the roots. In both experiments, on Jewelweeds and sea rockets, the key was the shared soil—and other plant species may turn out to show similar behavior. These experiments, as well as earlier experiments, suggest “The phenomenon is quite common.” Says Hans de Kroonof, an ecologist in the Netherlands.
