It’s hard to predict the fallout from favoritism. Being the favorite may improve self-esteem and confidence. But studies show it can also leave kids with a sense of arrogance (傲慢) and privilege. Unfavored children may grow up wondering if they’re somehow unworthy of the love the parents gave generously to the golden child. But they may do better at forming relationships outside the family as a result of that. And there’s no telling how the differential treatment will play out among the kids.
“My mom didn’t like my older sister and did like me,” says Roseann Henry, an editor and the married mother of two girls. “Everyone assumed I had it great, except that my sister tortured (折磨) me pretty much all the time — and really, what affects daily life more for a kid, the approval of a parent or the day-to-day torture of an older sister?”
50. The sweetness in the lie “We do not have a favorite child” is that parents ______.
A. keep telling the same lie seriously
B. show pity for the unfavored kids
C. don’t want to hurt the unfavored kids
D. don’t tell the truth to the favored kids
51. The favored kids keep it a secret that they are the preferred ones probably because ______.
A. it’s a forbidden truth
B. they want to keep the benefits
C. they sometimes are not sure about their status
