It give one the chance to really experience the culture of the countries being visited, whether its Euro

17、pe, Australia, America, or Asia. Understandably, when planning a backpacking adventure, the first thing for most travelers to do is to think about where they want to go. But arranging decent travel insurance is also crucial. Why? Think about what can happen while youre abroad. Hopefully itll be an a

Aa news report Ba news story Can advertisement Dan introduction to backpacking travelB The classical study of family size and IQ was conducted in the Netherlands. It was based on the milita

23、ry examinations of more than 386,000 Dutchmen. Researchers found that the brightest subjects came from the smallest families and had few, if any, brothers and sisters when they were born. Thus the firstborn child in a family of two was usually brighter than the last child in a family.The effects of

24、family size on intelligence may be explained by what a house full of children does to the home environment. It increases the amount of time a child spends with other children and decreases the amount of parental attention he or she receives. For example, a parent with one restless child is likely to

25、 sit and play with the child. The same parent with two or three restless children is more likely to ask them to play with each other. Some psychologists say that when a child interacts(交往) with an adult alone, the child learns more and therefore intelligence is increased. Researchers have also found

26、 that parents often expect more from their firstborn, which motivates such children to seek a higher standard.Not all psychologists agree that firstborns tend to be more intelligent. They say that the data needs to be examined more closely for other possible explanations. For example, in industriali

27、zed nations most large families come from lower socio-economic backgrounds. Thus environment, not family size or birth order, may influence intelligence. On the other hand, there may be genetic variations(基因变异) within families that also explain the cause of differences.If firstborns have advantages

28、in the area of intelligence, research has also shown that they may be more conforming(墨守成规) and have poorer social skills than their younger siblings (brothers and/ or sisters). Although more research needs to be done in this area, it is clear that such factors as birth order, the order in which boy

29、s and girls are born into a family, the number of years that separates siblings probably have an effect on the development of intelligence, personality, and social relationships.45The underlined word “subjects” in the 1st paragraph means _. Abranches of knowledge Bpersons chosen to be studied in exp

30、eriments Ccitizens of a country Dthings talked about in a conversation, discussion or book46According to the research, usually the elder in a two-child family is _. Acleverer than the younger Bno cleverer than the younger Cless clever than the younger Das clever as the younger47Why are firstborns encouraged to seek a higher standard? AThey are more likely to obey others. BTheir parents spend less time with other children. CThey are more conforming. DTheir parents expect more from them.48The best title for this pas
