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 questionasking the parents do, the higher the children’ s IQ scores,” Lewis says. “ And the more children there are, the less questionasking 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 中國最龐大的下資料庫 (整理 . 版權歸原作者所有 ) 第 8 頁 共 34 頁 most attention. “ Middle children are invisible,” says Lewis. “ When you see someone get up from the table and walk around during dinner, chances are 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 nonevent.” 66.

One tiny 9inch plant, bought for $ in the spring, has already taken over much of my rose bed, covering much of other plants, and is well on its way to the front door. Roses require a good deal of care, and if it weren’ t for the pleasure they give, it wouldn’ t be worth the work.
