    Birth order—does it matter? Are you different because you are the first, second, or third child in your family—or maybe the last of nine?

    A study found that first-borns have an average(平均的) IQ that is three points higher than people who fall into a different place in the birth order, perhaps because first-borns often help younger brothers and sisters, which improves their own skills. In 2007, an international organization of CEOs found that 43% of CEOs are first-borns 33% are middle children, and 23% are last-borns. First-borns are more likely (可能的)to be doctors and astronauts and get higher pay.

    If first-borns are more successful, last-borns are generally more agreeable. They are also more likely to be funny, possibly to get attention from all the bigger people at the dinner table. Mark Twain and Stephen Colbert were both the youngest in large families, and Jim Carrey was the youngest of four. According to a 2007 Time magazine article, “The power of Birth Order." last-borns are more likely to be artists and successful businessmen.

    Then there are the middle children: we have not ignored(忽视) them! Many middle children are short of one-on-one time with their parents. They often feel short-changed: the oldest gets more rights, and the youngest is spoiled(宠坏的). Though they may be ignored, middle children are more likely to grow into easygoing adults.

    Many factors(因素) make us who we are, but if the research is correct, birth order may be one of the most important factors.

A、A first-born. B、A second-born. C、A third-born. D、A last-born.
(2)、What can we learn about Jim Carrey?

(3)、What does the underlined word “short-changed” in Paragraph 4 probably mean in Chinese?
A、受亏待的 B、受控制的 C、受宠爱的 D、受欢迎的
(4)、We can learn from the research that birth order     .
A、has no influence on IQ B、matters a lot at the dinner table C、may decide who we are D、is a factor in making us powerful
(5)、What would be the best title for the text?

TikTok (抖音) is a video-sharing app that has taken the world by storm. You'll see dancing, jokes and amazing shows. Many people have found great joy in using the app. They feel relaxed when they watch the videos on TikTok after a day's hard work. However, others think it is not a good idea to use it. Some people, especially the young, have been addicted to (沉迷于) the app. They spend too much time on it. This makes them spend less time on their study or work. What's more, it is bad for their health as well. To solve this problem, TikTok has made lots of changes which are designed to protect its teenage users.

"Users aged 13—15 will not get push notifications (推送) from 21: 00, and for 16 to 17-year-olds, from 22:00. This will help them have more time on work, study, relaxation and sleep," the video-sharing app says. TikTok also made some changes that 16 to 17-year-old users will only receive messages which are good for them. "We want our users, especially younger users to develop good habits when using the Internet earlier," TikTok said.

Another change made earlier from TikTok was stricter. It was said that messages could be sent to users over 16s only. As for users aged 16 —17, if they want to send a message to others, they will need to change to a different sharing option (选择), which protects them from bad information. Besides that, before they share their first TikTok, users under 16 will be asked to choose with whom they want to share their videos.

The head of online child safety at the National Society for the the Prevention of Cruelty to Children, Andy Burrows, welcomed the new changes, saying the changes from TikTok would protect teenagers. "I think this will reduce opportunities for offenders (犯罪者) to trick children." Andy said.

March 30th is the World Bipolar Day. Liu Tiebang, president of Shenzhen Kangning Hospital,introduced bipolar disorder (BD) to the public in an effort to raise awareness for the mental health illness.

Bipolar disorder, also called manic depression (躁郁), is a mood disorder which can cause a patient's mood to change from a very high to a very low. Manic symptoms (症状) can include increased energy, quick response, unusual talkativeness, a lack of need for sleep, high self-esteem and so on. Depressive symptoms can include less energy, loss of interest or pleasure, feeling worthless, low self-esteem and suicidal(自杀性的) thoughts.

Patients with BD are often misdiagnosed (误诊) as depression. Liu said that while someone is experiencing a manic stage, he or she may be unusually talkative, sociable and outgoing. Patients having these kinds of problems may not realize that they are ill and often do not look for medical care. On the other hand, patients experiencing depressive periods are more likely to be noticed.

"With the development of treatments and medications, the treatments for BD have become better at present," said Liu. "The medications are safer. Patients getting the right treatments at the earlier stage of BD have a higher possibility of recovery (恢复); or the mania and depression may happen again."

For patients with BD, in addition to medication, other methods such as physical treatments, psychological treatments, social support groups and crisis intervention may be useful for managing their symptoms and controlling mood changes.
