19、ns bargain. That is why so many Americans do not throw things away. They put them outside their houses. They put on a “For Sale” sign. And, as simple as that, they have a yard sale. The sellers put a paid announcement(付费通告 )in a local newspaper. It tells when and where the yard sale will take place.

20、 These sales are very popular during weekends in spring, summer, and autumn. Early in the morning, all the things to be sold are carried out of the house.

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 the

30、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 impo

31、rtant 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 lif

32、e 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

33、 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(扫兴的事 ).” 【小题 1】 The writers purpose in writing the tex

B It is a good idea to have the TV on during dinner. C Parents should

She looked up to see the worried faces of her husband and daughter. “What happened Where am I ” she asked. “You just destroyed the schools skeleton, Mum,” explained Jessica. “I brought it home to help me with my health proje
