to each of the questions from 23 to 27.
SIBLINGS
When, we are children, our sibling - that is, our brothers and sisters - are our first friends and

first enemies. At 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 the 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.

Movements and gestures by the hands, arms, legs, and other parts' of the body and face are the
most pervasive types of nonverbal messages and the most difficult to control. 'It is estimated that there
are over
200.000 physical signs capable of stimulating meaning in another person. For example, there are 23
distinct eyebrow movements, each capable of stimulating a different meaning.
Humans express attitudes toward themselves and vividly through body movements and postures.
Body movements express true messages about feelings that cannot be masked. Because such avenues
of communication are visual, they travel much farther than spoken words and are unaffected by the
presence of noise that interrupt, or cancels out speech.
People communicate by the way they walk, stand, and sit. We tend to be more relaxed with friends
or when addressing those of lower status. Body orientation also indicates status or liking of the other
individual. More direct orientation is related to a more positive attitude.
Body movements and postures alone have no exact meaning, but they can greatly support or
reject the spoken word. If these two means of communication are dichotomized and contradict each
other, some result will be a disordered image and most often the nonverbal will dominate.
