Being the youngest child has advantages and disadvantages. On the one hand, babies are spoiled and often get away with behavior that other family members can’t. On the other hand, many youngest children feel that they never quite measure up to their more experienced and successful siblings (兄弟姐妹). To borrow a phrase from a famous comedian, they get no respect.

Some parents look on their youngest child as their last chance to do everything right, so the youngest may feel great performance pressure, similar to a firstborn. Other parents will never allow their last child to be unhappy, ever. In most families, however, the parents have more experience and are more likely to give them more freedom on such issues as developmental milestones, toilet training, dating, and so on. They are more confident that things will work out for the best, and their relationship with their lastborn is less intense than that with the older children.

Having some distance in their relationship with their parents can give the lastborn freedom to explore new ideas and new places, but if it is too great, the youngest children may feel disconnected, as though they don’t belong to the family.

Since lastborns are seldom the strongest or most capable during childhood, they often carve out a place for themselves by being clever and charming. Within the family, they know how to get along well with their siblings. They may become peacekeepers, but they’re also able to cause much trouble when it serves their purposes. Playing the “baby card” also allows them to avoid punishment for wrongdoing, for example, breaking a sibling’s toy.

Only with such a full understanding can you, as a parent, help your “baby” develop into a fully grown-up person.

1.What may dissatisfy the youngest child in the family?

A. Being given too much pressure by the parents.

B. Being looked down upon by the other family members.

C. Not getting along well with their siblings.

D. Feeling that they fail to do as well as their siblings.

2.In most families, the youngest child _______.

A. is expected to realize their parents’ unfinished dreams

B. lives a life of less pressure from their parents

C. is often ignored and forgotten by their parents

D. doesn’t like to get close to his / her parents　

3.Which of the following characteristics may NOT appear in the lastborn during their childhood?

Strong-minded.　　　 B. Attractive.　　　 C. Sociable.　　　　 D. Troublesome.

4.By talking about the characteristics of the youngest child, this passage ______.

A. gives parents some help in bringing up the youngest child

B. reminds parents to give the youngest child extra care

C. shows it is hard for the youngest child to succeed

D. calls on parents to treat the youngest child fairly

Advantages and Disadvantages of Mobile Phones

Nowadays, nearly everyone has a mobile phone. In our daily lives we make phone calls to others, and we need to send messages to exchange information. Now, you can surf the Internet by using your mobile phone. I have to say that I enjoy using my phone, but I am worried at the same time: Is it healthy and safe to use?
