（2012·湖北·高考真题D篇）Hw is it that siblings (兄弟姐妹) can turn ut s differently? One answer is that in fact each sibling grws up in a different family. The firstbrn is, fr a while, an nly child, and therefre has a cmpletely different experience f the parents than thse brn later. The next child is, fr a while, the yungest, until the situatin is changed by a new arrival. The mther and father themselves are changing and grwing up t. One sibling might live in a stable and clse family in the first few years; anther might be raised in a family crisis, with a disappinted mther r an angry father.
Sibling cmpetitin was identified as an imprtant shaping frce as early as in 1918. But mre recently, researchers have fund many ways in which brthers and sisters are a lasting frce in each thers’ lives. Dr. Annette Hendersn says firstbrn children pick up vcabulary mre quickly than their siblings. The reasn fr this might be that the later children aren’t getting the same ne-n-ne time with parents. But that desn’t mean that the yunger children have prblems with language develpment. Later-brns dn’t enjy that much talking time with parents, but instead they harvest lessns frm bigger brthers and sisters, learning entire phrases and getting an understanding f scial cncepts such as the difference between “I” and “me”.

One way children seek mre attentin frm parents is by making themselves different frm their siblings, particularly if they are clse in age. Researchers have fund that the first tw children in a family are typically mre different frm each ther than the secnd and third. Girls with brthers shw their differences t a maximum degree by being mre feminine than girls with sisters. A 2003 research paper studied adlescents frm 185 families ver tw years, finding that thse wh changed t make themselves different frm their siblings were successful in increasing the amunt f warmth they gained frm their parents.

He asked the child 8 (sweet), “What are yu making?” The by respnded, “Oh, I am making a little bwl fr yu and Mama t eat yur fd when I grw up.” The wrds struck the parents s hard that they were speechless. Then tears started t stream dwn their cheeks. Thugh n wrd was spken, bth knew what must be dne.
That evening the husband tk his 9 (grandfather) hand and gently led him back t the family table. Fr the remainder f his days, he ate every meal with the family. And fr sme reasn, neither husband nr wife seemed 10 (care) any lnger when a frk was drpped, milk spilled, r the tableclth siled.
Passage 10
（2025·广西贵港·高一期末）Grwing up, my lder brther, a science enthusiast, shared fascinating facts with me, like hw ur cells are cmpletely new every seven years. This idea highlighted the cncept f cnstant change in ur selves, 1 (mean) I’m a physically different persn frm the ne I was years ag.
Tday, I ften wnder: Am I a stry that’s cnstantly 2 (write)? Peple have debated this fr a lng time, with ancient Greeks arguing 3 a thing’s true essence lies in its unchanging nature r its nging develpment.
Plat believed that natural science fcuses n the changing physical wrld, 4 philsphy, using intelligence and reasn, explred the change less eternal (永恒). Fr instance, veterinary science studies grwing dgs, but philsphers questin the idea f “Dg” itself.
Aristtle 5 (agree) that science explains what we see but argued that the material universe is in cnstant change. He believed change is part f the true nature f things and yur virtue is abut wh yu’re turning int, nt a 6 (fix) identity. As such, becming was his fcus, rather than sme perfect invisible being.
S, which is yur view, and hw des that guide the way yu live? Nne f this is 7 (say) the chice between Platnism and Aristtelianism is abslute. We all have sme unchanging characteristics, and we als change in many ways. The philsphical perspective yu adpt will depend n hw yu principally define 8 (yu) and what yu chse t pay attentin t as yu mve thrugh the wrld.
Are yu mre like a Platnist r an Aristtelian? It depends n whether yu see yurself as having a fixed identity r a changing stry. Tday’s culture ften pushes yu t be a Platnist, defining yurself 9 a certain type f persn. This can make yu a repeat custmer and give yu a sense f belnging. But it might als keep yu in situatins yu dn’t like. Being mre like 10 Aristtelian can set yu free.
