You can easily find that your sister or brother is different from you. You live together in the same house and have the same parents, but you have different personalities(性格).
Why? One possible reason is the way your parents treat you.
Firstborn children receive all the attention from their parents. Generally speaking, a firstborn has twice as many photos as any other child has. Parents usually give firstborns more responsibilities (責任)and depend on them to take care of younger brothers and sisters. As a result, firstborns are often responsible, hard-working, and serious. They often want to do well at school and in work. More firstborns became American Presidents, for example George W.Bush, George Washington and Lyndon Baines Johnson, than second or last-borns.
When a second child arrives, parents are more relaxed. The second child has to compete (競爭)with the first-born for parents’ attention and love. These children often choose different sports and hobbies to develop different personalities. They are often outgoing, but can be jealous and get angry easily.
The youngest child is usually the happiest, and has fewer responsibilities and more freedom(自由的). These children do well at school and in work, but have to be creative（創(chuàng)造性的） to get their family’s attention. They are often friendly and cool. Many famous talk-show hosts were born last.

Have you ever been in a meeting while someone was making a speech and realized suddenly that your mind was a million miles away? You probably felt sorry and decided to pay attention and never have daydreaming again. Most of us have been told from earliest school days that daydreaming is a waste of time.
L. Giambra, a psychologist（心理學家）, says,” On the contrary , daydreaming is quite necessary. Without it, the mind couldn’t do all the thinking that it has to do during a normal day. You can’t possibly do all your thinking with a conscious （神志清醒的）mind. Instead, your unconscious mind is working out problems all the time. Daydreaming may be one way that the unconscious and conscious states （狀態(tài)）of mind have silent conversations .”
Early psychologists paid no attention to the importance of daydreams or even thought they were harmful. At one time people thought that some psychological illness caused day dreaming. They did not have a better understanding of daydreams until the late 1980s. Eric Klinges, a professor, is the writer of the book Daydreaming. Klinges says, “We know now that daydreaming is one of the main ways that we organize our lives, learn from our experiences, and plan for our futures. Daydreams really are a window on the things that we fear and the things we long for (渴望) in life.”
Daydreams are usually very simple and direct（直接）, quite unlike sleep dreams. Sleep dreams may be hard to understand. It’s easier to get a deep understanding of your life by paying close attention to your daydreams than by trying to examine (分析)your sleep dreams carefully. Daydreams help you know the difficult situations（情況）in your life and found out a possible way of dealing with them.
Daydreams cannot be predicted（預(yù)言）: they move off in unexpected directions which may be creative and full of useful ideas. For many famous artists and scientists, daydreams were and are a main source of creative energy.
小題1:The passage is mainly about _______ .
A．winter sleepsB．sleep dreamsC．daydreamingD．predictions
小題2:The underlined phrase On the contrary  means _________ .
A．總之B．相反C．畢竟D．因此
小題3:The writer of this passage thinks daydreams are__________.
A．hard to understandB．important and helpful
C．harmful and unimportantD．the same as sleep dreams
小題4:Psychologists now believe that ________.
A．daydreams are usually very simple and can be predicted
B．daydreams are usually difficult to understand
C．daydreams cause some psychological illness
D．daydreams may be creative and full of useful ideas
小題5:The writer quoted  (引用 )L. Giambra  and Eric Klinges  to ________.
A．list out two different ideas
B．point out the wrong ideas of early experts
C．support his own ideas
D．report the latest research on daydreams

Every year landslides cause 25 to 50 deaths and $2 billion in damage in the United States. And in December, a single event killed more than 2000 people in the Philippines. Sending workers to stabilize mountainsides using steel bars can help a lot, but it introduces new difficulties because of dust and loosen heavy, dangerous debris from the work. “It’s a quite dangerous job,” says Giorgio Pezzuto of D’ Appolonia, working with eight other companies. Now there may be an answer: a three-ton robot called Roboclimber.
“The idea is to operate a machine far away that can do the stabilizing job without a human being near,”says Pezzuto, manager for the project, which is supported by a European organization. Engineers say that the machine will be faster and cheaper than manual labor. The robot, a large radio-controlled four-legged spider, has cost at least $2 million so far. It should be able to climb mountainsides, drill holes and insert steel bars there. Testing should begin in May.
小題1:The underlined word “event” refers to_____
A．earthquakeB．debrisC．dustD．landslide
小題2:The purpose in writing this text is _____
A．to tell people how serious the damage caused by landslides is
B．to tell people that sending workers to stabilize mountainsides is a dangerous job
C．to show people how to use a new robot
D．to introduce a new robot that can be used to stabilize mountainsides
小題3:What does the robot look like?
A．human beingB．spiderC．steel barD．a(chǎn) drill
小題4:A landslides cause _____________in damage in the United States Every year .
A．25 to 50 deathsB．more than 2000 people died
C．$2 billionD．both A and C
小題5:The biggest advantage of this product is that____
A．it will be faster and cheaper than manual labor
B．it can climb mountainsides, drill holes and insert steel bars there.
C．it can do the stabilizing job without human beings near
D．it is like a spider
