(40 points)Text 1 In 1874 Francis Galton, a British professor, analysed a sample of English scientists and found the vast majority to be first-born sons. This led him to theorise that first-born children enjoyed a special level of attention from their parents that allowed them to advance intellectually. Half a century later Alfred Adler, an Austrian psychologist, made a similar argument relating to personality. First-born children, he suggested, were more diligent, while the later-born were more outgoing and emotionally stable. Many subsequent studies have explored these ideas, but their findings have been varied - some supporting and some rejecting the original conclusions.The main problem with the previous studies is that they were too small - often limited to a few dozen individuals. This would be true even if the statistical methods needed to analyse the data were simple, but they are not. Distinguishing birth-order effects from those caused by family size complicates matters, meaning still bigger samples must be analysed to obtain meaningful results.To overcome the limitation of these earlier studies, German social scientist Dr. Helmet Schmukle and his colleagues analysed three huge sets of data from America, Britain and Germany. These data sets, though collected for other purposes, included personality and intelligence tests on 20, 186 people at different stages of their lives. The American tests were on individuals aged between 29 and 35. The British tests were conducted on 50-year-olds. The German tests ran the whole span of adult life, from 18 to 98.Birth order, they found, had no effect on personality: first-borns were no more, nor less, likely than their younger siblings to be hardworking, outgoing or anxious. But it did affect intelligence. In a family with two children, the first child was more intelligent than the second 60% of the time, rather than the 50% that would be expected by chance. On average, this translated to a difference of 1.5 IQ points between first and second siblings. That figure agrees with previous studies, and thus looks confirmed.It is, nevertheless, quite a small difference - and whether it is enough to account for Galton's original observation is unclear. In any event, it is certainly not deterministic. Galton was the youngest of nine.1、Alfred Adler concluded that first-born children were ________.A．more stableB．more sociableC．more intelligentD．more hardworking2、What does the underlined “they” in paragraph 2 refer to?A．The data.B．The analyses.C．The previous studies.D．The statistical methods.3、Why was Schmukle's study considered superior to previous research?A．It involved a wider age range.B．It had a much larger sample size.C．It included a larger number of countries.D．It was conducted over a longer period of time.4、Why does the author mention Galton's family background in the last paragraph?A．To confirm Galton's difficult upbringing.B．To suggest Galton's theory may not be correct.C．To compare his experience with Galton's parents.D．To explain why Galton was interested in birth order.Text 2Information about Special Educational NeedsLearn what to do if you think your child has Special Educational Needs (SEN).What Special Educational Needs?Special Educational Needs is a legal term.
