相关材料:Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage.
As any parent with more than one kid knows, sibling(兄弟姐妹)relationships canbe complicated, at times differing between being close friends and rivals.
Sibling rivaling in particular can be a challenge to deal with in normal times, butwith many families spending more time together than ever because of the worldwidepandemic(大流行病)in 2020 and online(在线的)schooling, that can create even moretension in some sibling relationships.
(76) “Sibling rivalry is hard to deal with.” Rebecca Kennedy says. “The first stepis realizing that kids do often see siblings as rivals. It’s tough to have a siblingbecause at the end of the day a sibling is, in some ways, competing for the scarceresource of parents’ attention or love.”
One thing that parents can do to remove jealousy and rivalry is to help each childfeel valued in his or her specialness. Janine Domingues says: “Fix some space – it’syour brother’s day today and tomorrow’s going to be yours. That can create a healthy relationship with parents and siblings. The more attention children feel from parents,the more connected they feel to the parents and actually the more likely they’ll see siblings as friends and not rivals.”
(77) The other is to avoid comparing siblings with each other. It’s easy for someparents to try to encourage one child by comparing him or her with a sibling. ButKennedy suggests that parents should look at how much they’re reinforcingcompetition by pitting siblings against each other. She says: “Sometimes it feels likethe easier way to get a child to do something that a sibling is doing, but we are then getting them into gazing at each other as rivals again, rather than as friends.”
An obvious fact with siblings is that ______.
(A)they seldom see each other as friends
(B) they never see each other as close friends
(C) they always see each other as enemies
