Many people feel that their parents were harder on them than on their brother or sister. And many are quick to blame(责备) negative results in adulthood on it. But results from a Temple University study published this month suggest that it is not necessarily true.
Researchers have found that among siblings(兄弟姐妹)in the same family,recalled negative early experiences such as conflicts(冲突) with parents seem to have little influence over psychological(心理的)wellbeing(幸福) in midlife.
“Existing research suggests the importance of early childhood parental treatment on later wellbeing,but respondents in this study who thought they were treated less favorably than their siblings have been found to be just as satisfied in their lives,”said Adam Davey,a psychologist in the College of Health Professions.
Davey's study looked at data collected from 1,369 siblings between the ages of 26—74 from 498 different families to determine the extent(程度)to which different childhood treatment reached into adulthood. Each sibling answered a series of questions about their memories of parental affection(喜爱),conflicts with their parents when they were young and current wellbeing. Davey and his team found that those who remembered having more conflicts with their parents than their siblings still tended to have generally high levels of wellbeing in adulthood. Not surprisingly,they also found that happier memories,such as memories of affection and warmth,can have positive effects.
Older respondents who were married and had children of their own tended to have a more positive recollection of their childhood. Davey says these findings could suggest that life experience acts as a filter(过滤)for remembering childhood memories. He adds that personality also plays a role:those who were more outgoing tended to have a better recollection of their childhood.
“Even people who grow up in the same environment can have different ways of recalling the past. And it's not necessarily what happens in the past,but the way we remember it that makes a difference to our wellbeing,”said Davey.

I'm a pig,and my son is a rabbit. I have snakes for daughters,and my wife,believe it or not,is a dragon!Do I live in a zoo?No,of course not!I am talking about Chinese zodiac signs(十二生肖).Depending on the year of your birth,each person has an animal for a sign. That's why I am a pig and my wife is a dragon. If you,like me,were born in the year of the pig,then you are brave,thoughtful and loyal. The year of the pig is filled with good fortune.
Now let's take a closer look at this interesting animal.
Pigs were first raised by man about 9,000 years ago,and are still a very common farm animal in many parts of the world. We don't just use pigs for their meat—almost every part of the animal is used. The hair is used for artists' brushes. The fat is used to make floor wax,rubber and plastics.
Pigs have also been important in the world of entertainment. In 1995 the film Babe starred a loveable talking pig as its main character. The film won an Oscar and was nominated(提名)for 6 more. In England you can even go to watch pig racing. A farmer,Rob Shepherd,has been raising money for charity by holding pig races on his farm. The events have been very successful. People don't just want to eat pigs,it seems!
Pigs also play an important role in the English language. For example,if someone says that he will travel to the sun one day,you can say “Pigs_might_fly!” to him. Hungry?Well then,you can “pig out” and eat lots of food. And what if someone rescues you?Well,you can say that they “saved your bacon”.
