If you have a brother or sister, you already know you are different from each other. You live together in the same house and with the same parents, but you have different personalities.

Why is this? One possible reason is the way your parents treat you.

    First–born children receive all the attention from their parents. Most families have twice as many photos of a first–born than any other child.Parents usually give first–borns more responsibility(责任)and depend on them to take care of younger brothers and sisters. As a result, first–borns are often responsible, hard–wording and serious. They often want to do well at school and work. There are more first–born American presidents than second or last-born children—for example, George W. Bush, George Washington, and Lyndon Baines Johnson.

When a second child arrives, parents are not so excited.The second child has to compete with the first–born for the parents’ attention and love. These children often choose different sports and hobbies to do well at school and work, but have to be creative to get their family’s attention. They are often friendly and cool. Many famous talk-show hosts were born last.

(  )1. The writer thinks that the second children are often _______.

A.outgoing and serious                     B.cool and friendly

C.hard-working and serious                D.creative and responsible

(  )2. The underlined word “personalities” means _______ in the passage.

  Cause and effect is one way to explain things that happen around usMany things happen because something caused or influenced them to happenSometimes it is hard to look at a cause and find out what caused or influenced them to happenSometimes it is hard to look at a cause and find out what causes the effectIt may help you to start with the effect and use your reasoning(推理的)skillsThink about all the things you know that could be reasons for the effect you can see

  For example, you may see someone putting on a heavy jacketThis is the effectTo look for a cause, think to yourself, “What would take someone put on a heavy jacket?” Maybe the person is going outside into very cold weatherMaybe the person works in the penguin pen(企鹅圈养地)at Sea WorldMaybe the person is going to visit an ice skating rink where the air is kept very coldAll of these things could be a cause for putting on a heavy jacket

  Now, think about a second exampleThe effect is a boy named Abi has to go to the head teacher's officeWhat are the possible causes? Maybe he bullied(欺负)another studentMaybe he is just being picked up earlyMaybe he is being given a prize!

  Here is another example for you to think about its cause and effectCait, 13, was trying to fall asleep when her 8-year-old brother, Doug, came into her roomHe looked around a bit, but seemed really out of itThen Doug went back into the hallway and stood there looking straight up at the hall light for quite a whileLittle brothers can be very strange, but this was really much too strangeCait's father appeared and explained that Doug was sleepwalkingWhat's the cause end effect, could you tell?
