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 （录象）families while they at ordinary meals in their own homes. They found that parents with small families talk actively with each other and their children. But as the member of children gets larger, conversation gives the 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 are.” 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 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, 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.”
46.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
D. give information about family problems

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
48. By saying “Middle children are invisible” ,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 difficult to keep up with other children
49.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
50.Which of the following statements would the writer agree to?
A. It is important to have the right food for children.
B. It is a good idea to have the TV on during dinner.
C. Parents should talk to each of their children frequently.
D. Elder children should help the younger ones at dinner.

Ask three people to look out the same window at a busy street corner and tell you what they see. Chances are that you will receive three different answers. Each person sees the same scene but each feels something different about it.

For perceiving is the mind's meaning of what the senses----in this condition our eyes----tell us.

This is a saying “Time is money.” But in my
opinion, time is even more precious than money——when time is spent, we can earn it back, but once time is gone, it
will never return.
The time we can use is very limited. We should make full use of our
time to do useful things. As a student we must pour all our efforts to learn
our lessons so as to serve society in the future.
But it is a pity that there are a lot of people who do not know the
value of time. They spend their precious time playing and chatting. They do not
realize that wasting time is equal to wasting their lives.
In a word, everyone should form the good habit of saving time. Do
not put off what can be done today until tomorrow.
