As any homemaker who has tried to keep order at the dinner table knows, there is far more to a family meal
than food. Sociologist (社会学家) Michael Lewis has been studying 50 families to find out just how much
more.
Lewis and his co-workers carried out their study by videotaping (录像) the families while they ate ordinary
meals in their own homes. They found that parents with small families talk actively with each other and their
children. But as the number of children gets larger, conversation gives way to the parents" efforts to control the
loud noise they make. That can have an important effect on the children."In general the more question-asking
the parents do, the higher the children"s IQ scores," Lewis says."And the more children there are, the less
question-asking there is."
The study also provides an explanation for why middle children often seem to have a harder time in life than
their brothers and sisters. Lewis found that in families with three or four children, dinner conversation (交谈) is
likely to center on the oldest child, who has the most to talk about, and the youngest, who needs the most
attention."Middle children are invisible," says Lewis."When you see someone get up from the table and walk
around during dinner, chances are it"s the middle child." There is, however, one thing that stops all conversation and prevents anyone from having attention:"When the TV is on," Lewis says,"dinner is a non-event."

have faced. His little dog had a brain tumor (肿块) and would soon die. Like others who faced the problem
before him, Denniston just wanted to end his pet"s suffering.
However, he took one step further.
Denniston, an expert who studies animals collected a tiny skin sample (小块皮肤样本) from the dog and
took it to his laboratory at Louisiana State University. Denniston started a new technology. Denniston"s
company will save pet"s DNA for US ＄500, plus a monthly storage fee (保存费) of US ＄10, until cloning
becomes a reality (现实).
"It could happen soon if everything went on well," says Mark Westhusin, a professor leading a dog
cloning team. Most experts put successful dog cloning a year to five years down the road. The cost may

scientists say.
Dreams take up about one quarter of our sleeping time. People have several dreams each night. Dreams are
like short films. They are usually in color. Some dreams are like old films. They come to us over and over again.
That may be because the dreamer is worrying about something. Dreaming may be a way of trying to find an
answer.
Some people get new ideas about their work from dreams. They could have been thinking about their work
all day. These thoughts can carry over into dreams.
Sometimes we wake up with a good feeling from a dream. But often we can"t remember the dream. Dreams
can disappear quickly from memory. Too much dreaming can be harmful. The more we sleep, the longer we
dream. The mind is hard at working when we dream. That is why we may have a long sleep and still wake up
tired.
