Some people 46 it matters where you were born in your family. But there are different ideas about what birth order means.Some people say that the eldest children are smart. They are very likely to be . The reason for this is47simple. Parents have a lot of time for their first child; they give them or her much attention. So this child islikely to do well. An only child will succeed for the same reason. What happens to the other children in thefamily? Middle children don ’ t get so much attention, 48 they don ’ t feel that important. 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 ideasabout birth order too? A recent study saw things quite differently. The study found that first children believedin family rules. They didn ’ t take many chances in their lives49. theyfollowed orders. Rul es didn ’ t mean as much to later children in the family.

Sometimes good manners in one place are very bad manners somewhere else.Almost everywhere eating means that people are very friendly to each other. But in parts of Polynesia it51is bad manners to be seen eating beside each other. So they politely turn their backs to each other when theyare taking food. Some East Africans spit four times as a kind of blessing. They do it to show that they want a52 person to get well, or to bless a new-born baby. In many countries, spitting means something completely different. It may mean that you hate someone. In a village in Arab countries, a visitor will walk 53 all thetents until he gets to the one he wants to visit. If he passes in front, he will be invited into each tent and askedto eat. It is rude to refuse.IV. Complete the sentences with the given words in their proper forms （用括号中所给单词的适当形式完成下列句子，每空格限填一词）（共8分）54. We will hold a party to celebrate Grandma ’s birthday. (sixty)55.
