Relationships with your siblings（兄弟姐妹）can help you practice social skills. Having a good relationship with them can help you communicate with other people，and understand other people’s feelings. You can even learn things when you don’t get on with your siblings. When you have argued（争吵）with them，you have to work out how to be in the same space as them. As a result，you often learn how to accept differences. It is very useful in the outside world.
It’s completely normal（正常的）that sometimes you and your sibling won’t _see eye to eye_. “Have a good think about why the two of you don’t get on. Try to talk when you both cool down，”says Dr Owen，a researcher in how children develop. “Tell them how you feel. You could say，‘It really hurts me when you make jokes about me.’ If the trouble carries on，talk to a trusted adult（成年人）.”
All families are different. What if you don’t have siblings? That doesn’t mean you won’t experience the advantages people get from having a brother or sister. There are ways to help only children develop these skills too.

答案： （四）[主旨大意]与兄弟姐妹的关系有助于练习社交技能，拥有良好的关系有利于与他人沟通、理解他人感受。兄弟姐妹有分歧很正常，可以在冷静后沟通、表达感受，若问题持续可向信任的成年人求助；无兄弟姐妹的孩子也有办法发展相关技能。
1.A 解析：段落大意题。根据第一段中“Relationships with your siblings can help you practice social skills.”可知，与兄弟姐妹的关系有助于练习社交技能。后面又具体阐述了和兄弟姐妹有良好关系能帮助交流、理解他人感受，甚至在相处不好时也能学到东西等，都是在说有兄弟姐妹的好处。
2.C 解析：词义猜测题。根据“Have a good think about why the two of you don’t get on.”可推知，有时你和你的兄弟姐妹意见不一致。故 see eye to eye 意为“互相同意，意见一致”。
3.D 解析：推理判断题。文章主要讲了有兄弟姐妹对发展社交技能的好处，再根据最后一段中“What if you don’t have siblings? That doesn’t mean you won’t experience the advantages people get from having a brother or sister. There are ways to help only children develop these skills too.”可知，接下来很可能会讲独生子女如何发展社交技能。
