1．How is it that siblings （兄弟姐妹） can turn out so differently？One answer is that in fact each sibling grows up in a different family．The first-born is，for a while，an only child，and therefore has completely different experience of the parents than those born later．The next child is，for a while，the youngest，until the situation is changed by a new arrival．The mother and father themselves are changing and growing up，too．One sibling might live in a stable and close family in the first few years； another might be raised in a family crisis，with a disappointed mother or an angry father．
Sibling competition was identified as an important shaping force as early as in 1918．But more recently，researchers have found many ways in which brothers and sisters are a lasting force in each other's lives．Dr．Annette Henderson says that first-born children pick up vocabulary more quickly than their siblings．The reason for this might be that the later children aren't getting the same one-on-one time with parents．On the other hand，later-borns don't enjoy that much talking time with parents，but instead they learn lessons from bigger brothers and sisters，obtaining entire phrases and getting an understanding of social concepts such as the difference between"I"and"me"．
One way children seek more attention from parents is by making themselves different from their siblings．A 2003 research paper studied adolescents f rom 185 families over two years，finding that those who changed to make themselves different from their siblings were successful．

60．Who are more likely to make themselves different from their siblings？（No more than 7 words）Children seeking more attention from parents．
