the end of life, they are often our oldest friends and oldest enemies. The effect of sibling relationships in childhood can
last a lifetime. Many experts say that the relationship among brothers and sisters explains a great deal about family life,
especially today when brothers and sisters often spend more time with one another than with their parents. Studies have
shown that sibling relationships between sister-sister pairs and brother-brother pairs are different. Sister pairs are the
closest. Brothers are the most competitive. Sisters are usually more supportive of each other. They are more talkative,
frank, and better at expressing themselves and sharing their feelings. On the other hand, brothers are usually more
competitive with each other. Experts agree that tfe relationship among siblings is influenced by many factors. For
example, studies have shown that both brothers and sisters become more competitive and aggressive when their parents
treat them even a little bit differently from one another. But parental treatment is not the only factor. Genetics, gender, life
events, people, and experiences outside the family all shape the lives of siblings. Recently, one researcher demonstrated
another factor in sibling relationships. It was discovered that children dislike watching their siblings fight. In fact, they
respond to arguments by taking sides -supporting one sibling and punishing the other.

Sometimes you know things about people the first time you see them, for example, that you want to be friends
with them or that you don't trust them. But perhaps this kind of intuition isn't as hard to explain as it may seem. For
instance, people give out body language signals all the time. The way you hold your body, head and arms tells people
about your mood. If you hold your arm tightly at your sides, or fold them across your chest, people will generally feel that
you are being defensive. Holding your head to one side shows interest in the other, while an essay, open posture indicates
that you are self-confident. All this affects the way you feel about someone. Also, a stranger may remind you of a meeting
with someone. This may be because of something as simple as the fact that he or she is physically similar to someone who
treated you well or badly. Your feelings about a stranger could be influenced by a smell in the air that brings to mind a
place where you were happy as a child. Since even a single word can bring back a memory such as that, you may never
realize it is happening.
