Learning f it, the skiers nearby gt invlved. Hurs passed and it seemed hpeless even with a metal detectr. When tld they wuld have t wait until spring t lcate the ring, the cuple were clse t a mental breakdwn.
But then a blinding flash in the snw caught a skier’s eye. It was the diamnd ring! Phil turned this wild adventure int smething even mre unfrgettable. Accmpanied by the cheers f kind strangers, he drpped t ne knee, ring in hand, and prpsed again. Kim was vercme with relief and jy.

The debate has lasted fr mre than a century: Des birth rder shape persnality, r are ideas abut respnsible firstbrns and creative yungest children weak steretypes? Althugh several previus studies suggested there was little evidence fr meaningful differences, a study published n Mnday argues that there is an effect after all.
In ne f the largest studies ever cnducted n birth rder, family size and persnality, Canadian researchers gathered data frm mre than 700,000 vlunteers and fund that n average, middle children scred higher than their siblings n traits seen as imprtant fr cperatin. Scres fr the same traits were als higher in families with mre children, suggesting that peple may be mre likely t develp a cperative persnality when they are raised as part f a bigger grup.
Althugh the effects were nt large, the researchers believe the findings challenge earlier cnclusins. “The weight f that evidence nw indicates that persnality trait levels d differ as a functin f birth rder and sibship size,” wrte Michael Ashtn and Kibm Lee in Prceedings f the Natinal Academy f Sciences.
Interest in birth rder ges back a lng way. In 1874, Francis Galtn examined English scientists and argued that firstbrns benefited frm greater parental attentin. Later, psychlgist Alfred Adler suggested that firstbrns tended t be cnscientius, yungest children creative, and middle children peacemakers, thugh sme viewed them as “frgtten children.”
Earlier research fund firstbrns t be slightly smarter than later-brn children, a pattern als bserved in the Canadian study. Beynd intelligence, the researchers identified differences in cperative traits. Peple with mre siblings scred higher n agreeableness and hnesty-humility, with middle children shwing a small additinal advantage.
The findings suggest that if an nly child and a persn frm a family f six were chsen at randm, there was a 60% chance that the mre agreeable wuld be frm the family f six. “Yu can’t tell much abut the persnality f a given individual frm their birth rder r family size, even thugh there are clear differences when averaging acrss many peple. Anyway, having mre siblings fsters a mre cperative persnality, while being a middle child calls fr gd bnds with yunger and lder siblings,” Lee said.
What can we learn frm the study results?
Only middle children develp cperative traits.
Birth rder shapes persnality mre than family size.
Family size may cntribute t cperative persnality.
Middle children have better academic perfrmances.
Why des the authr mentin Galtn and Adler in Para 4?
T explain hw t be mre cperative.
T trace the histrical interest in birth rder.
T describe Canadian psychlgists’ methds.
T emphasize the neglect f middle children tday.
What d Lee’s wrds in the last paragraph suggest?
Statistical differences are practically meaningless.
Birth rder and family size have n effect n persnality.
Children frm big families are bund t be mre agreeable.
Birth rder alne cannt determine an individual’s persnality.
What is the text mst prbably taken frm?
A science article.B. A psychlgy textbk.
C. A persnal bigraphy.D. A research prpsal. D
If yu’ve ever let unwrn clthes fill yur rm just because they were expensive, r fllwed thrugh n plans yu hated because yu’d already bught tickets, yu’re familiar with the sunk cst effect.
“The sunk cst effect is the general tendency fr peple t cntinue an actin, r cntinue cnsuming r pursuing an ptin, if they’ve invested time r mney r sme resurce in it, ” says Christpher Olivla, the authr f a paper n the tpic published in the jurnal Psychlgical Science. “That effect is negative if it is pushing yu t d things that are making yu unhappy r wrse ff.”
Sticking with the plan, even when it n lnger serves yu, culd be an attempt t crrect cgnitive dissnance(认知失调) : the mental discnnect between paying fr smething and nt getting the expected return n investment. It culd als be an autmatic reactin t regret. Or, Olivla says, it culd be an attempt t cnvince thers, and urselves, that we’re nt wasteful.
Yu still feel the guilt f “wasting” mney even when it’s nt yur wn. In ne experiment, Olivla asked participants t imagine that they felt full after eating a few bites f rich cake at a party. Participants were asked t imagine that they had bught the cake themselves, r that smene else had purchased it. They were then asked whether they’d finish the cake, despite feeling full. Regardless f wh had bught the cake —friends, strangers r the participants themselves — peple were far mre likely t say they’d keep eating the expensive cake.
Olivla says it’s nt ttally clear why we feel s pressured t hnr thers’ investments abut as much as we hnr ur wn, but peple shuld try t vercme bth versins f the sunk cst effect.
“What’s dne is dne,” Olivla says. “ There’s nthing yu can d t regain mney that’s lst — and pursuing smething that makes yu unhappy nt nly isn’t ging t get yur mney back, but it’s als ging t make yu wrse ff, Yu’re just digging a deeper hle.”
What strategy des the authr use t define the sunk cst effect?
Explaining research findings.
Cmparing ppsing pinins.
Listing examples and quting expert wrds.
Presenting prblems and intrducing slutins.
Which is a reasn peple get caught in the sunk cst trap?
T explre alternative ptins.
T avid making similar mistakes again.
T make the mst f the time and mney spent.
T vercme the cnflict caused by past failed investments.
What des the cake experiment illustrate?
We seem terrified f lsing ur pssessins.
We are guilty f pursuing material pleasures.
We feel respnsible fr thers’wasted mney.
We ignre ur inner thughts t accmmdate thers.
What can we infer abut the key t vercming the sunk cst effect?
List all sunk csts befre ur actins.
Fcus n the future benefits f giving up.
Fllw ur heart when making decisins.
Value mental health instead f physical gains.

The carpenter said, “I think I understand the situatin. Shw me the nails and hle-digger and I’ ll be able t d a jb that pleases yu. ”
The lder brther had t g t the twn fr supplies, s he helped the carpenter get everything ready and then he left. The carpenter wrked hard all that day measuring, sawing and nailing. At sunset when Jhn returned, the carpenter had just finished his jb. Jhn’s eyes pened wide and his jaw drpped.
