47 simple. Parents have a lot of time for their first child; they give them or her much attention. So this child is likely to do well. An only child will succeed for the same reason.

If a family has many children, the middle one sometimes gets lost in the crowd. The youngest child, though, often gets special

treatment. He or she is the baby. Often this child grows up to be funny or charming. Do you believe these ideas about birth order too? A recent study saw things quite differently. The study found that first children believed in family rules. They didn’t take many chances in their lives. they 49 followed orders. Rul es didn’t mean as much to later children in the family.

Antarctica (南极洲) is the fifth-largest continent on Earth. It is also the coldest, windiest,driest and

highest continent. It is an ice-covered place where no large plants grow, and no land animals live there

Antarctica covers an area of more than 13.6 million square kilometers. It is nearly twice the size of Australia, or one-and-a-half times the size of the United States of America. Antarctica does not belong to one country, and it has no government. People visit Antarctica usually as

tourists, or to do scientific research – but no one lives there all the time. Antarctica was the last continent to be discovered. It is not certain who first saw Antarctica,

but sailors

began to map Antarctica’s coast from their ships in the 1800s. The first confirmed (证实) landing was

in the

5

mid-1890s.

Over the next few years, several men tried but failed to reach the South Pole, which is the Earth’s southernmost point.

Finally, a team led by Norwegian Roald Amundsen reached the South Poe in 1911. By then,

countries

around the world were becoming more and more interested in the frozen continent, and soon seven nations:Argentina, Australia, Chile, France, New Zealand, Norway and the United Kingdom, had laid claim to parts of Antarctica. As so many nations had made a claim to territory in Antarctica, it was clear that fighting might break out.

Diplomats (外交官) from different countries wanted to stop a war from starting, so they began talking about a

treaty for Antarctica. A treaty is a written agreement signed by two or more nations.

Several countries had already set up research stations in Antarctica where scientists could live and work.

Most scientists worked during the summer months when it was not as cold as in winter. Scientists hoped a treaty would allow them to continue their work and to exchange information with scientists from other countries. 88. Antarctica is the largest continent on Earth, isn’t it?（1分） 89.
