ght have sounded impossible to many. But since several years ago, with the end of China39。s onechild policy(政策), this could actually happen now. All Chinese couples are allowed to have two children. It means that many Chinese children may have siblings(兄弟姐妹) in the future. ②What would it be like growing up with a brother or a sister? Having a sibling can stop children from bad feelings, according to Laura PadillaWalker, a teacher from Brigham Young University, US. Siblings give children something that parents can39。t, she said. You may not feel lonely at home any more because there is someone to play with you. You can also share secrets with him or her. ③But children with siblings also have to learn to control(控制) their feelings, said PadillaWalker. You need to share things with them, such as attention from parents, toys, the bathroom and the TV. There are also unpleasant situations such as petition, namecalling and even hairpulling. ④Even the birth order of siblings could matter too. US psychologist Kevin Leman said that birth order decides the way parents treat their children, thus causing different personalities between siblings. ⑤Kevin Leman explained that parents are usually more strict with their first child. So firstborns may be perfect because parents set high goals(目標(biāo)) for them. They usually act well and hope to succeed. When the couple has a second child, they have fewer rules. So lateborn children are usually more creative. They also love attention. It is said that many of them also have a good sense of humor.(1)The underlined word this in Paragraph 1 refers to(指) ______.
