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(录像) 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 childrens 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 its 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.”26The writers purpose in writing the text is to _.Ashow the relationship between parents and childrenBteach parents ways to keep order at the dinner tableCreport on the findings of a studyDgive information about family problems27Parents with large families ask fewer questions at dinner because _.Athey are busy serving food to their childrenBthey are busy keeping order at the dinner tableCthey have to pay more attention to younger childrenDthey are tired out having prepared food for the whole family28By saying “Middle children are invisible” in paragraph 3, Lewis means that middle children _.Ahave to help their parents to serve dinnerBget the least attention from the familyCare often kept away from the dinner tableDfind it hard to keep up with other children29Lewis research provides an answer to the question _.Awhy TV is important in family lifeBwhy parents should keep good orderCwhy children in small families seem to be quieterDwhy middle children seem to have more difficulties in life30Which of the following statements would the wri
