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 you see someone get up from the table and walk around during dinner, chances are that 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(扫兴的事).”

1.The writer’s purpose in writing the text is to _________.

　A. show the relationship between parents and children

　B. teach parents ways to keep order at the dinner table

　C. report on the findings of a study

2. Parents with large families ask fewer questions at dinner because____.

　A. they are busy serving food to their children

　B. they are busy keeping order at the dinner table

　C. they have to pay more attention to younger children

　D. they are tired out having prepared food for the whole family

3.By saying “Middle children are invisible” in paragraph 3, Lewis means that middle children__________.

　A. have to help their parents to serve dinner

　B. get the least attention from the family

　C. are often kept away from the dinner table

　D. find it hard to keep up with other children

4.Lewis’ research provides an answer to the question_________.

　A. why TV is important in family life

　B. why parents should keep good order

　C. why children in small families seem to be quieter

　D. why middle children seem to have more difficulties in life

高一英语单项填空简单题查看答案及解析

An unusual thing happened to me a few years ago. I spoke casually with a woman who served tables at a restaurant. We knew each other by first name only, but usually chatted for a few minutes each time I ate there.

“Do you have a son about eight years old?” One day, she asked me.

“What has he done?” As a mother, I thought it for a while out of my child’s safety. Then I nodded yes.

“Does he play soccer?” She went on asking.

When I said that he did, she asked if he played in a game the previous week at a particular field. Again, I answered yes.

“I thought so,” she smiled, “I saw him and thought he must be your son.”

“I didn’t know he looked that much like me!” I was amazed and said since there were tens of thousands of young boys in the city.

“Oh, I didn’t see his face,” she said, smiling as if she were keeping a secret.

“Then how did you know he was my son?” Now I was puzzled.

“I was just siting in the car, and I saw a little boy in a baseball cap walking across the field to join his team. He walks like you.”

Walks like me? Now I was curious. How do I walk? Perhaps I can’t help how I walk down a street, but I want to know how I walk through life.

Through life, I want to walk gently. I want to treat all of life: the earth and its people with admiration. I want to walk lightly, even joyfully, through whatever days I am given. I want to laugh easily. And throughout life, I think I would like to walk with more modesty and less anger, more love and less fear. If life is a journey, then how I make that journey is important, but still I wonder how I look when I walk down a street.

1.How did the author feel when she heard the woman’s first question?

A. Angry.　　 B. Proud.

C. Worried.　　 D. Understanding.

2.How did the woman know that the boy was the author’s son?

A. By his age.　　 B. By his face.

C. By his way of walking.　　 D. By his way of playing soccer.

3.What can we learn from the text?

A. The woman is the author’s close friend.

B. The woman worked in a restaurant.

C. The author’s son didn’t like the woman.

D. The author didn’t believe in the woman.

4.What is the best title for the text?

A. Walking through life

B. Living a peaceful life

C. An amazing woman

D. Discussing about my well-known son
