Variant 10
Task 1. Read the text, put the verbs in brackets in correct form.

Bond of brotherly hate


Jealousy between brothers and sisters (to be) very often unavoidable, especially when a new baby (to be) born into the family.
Mary, fifteen months old, would brush her newborn brother's head so hard that she almost drew blood. Three-year-old Bobby sang nursery rhymes and gave four-month-old Eliza's cradle such a hard push that she fell out on several occasions.
According to research, the arrival of a new baby causes most trouble in families where the mother is particularly close to an elder daughter. But where the child (to have) a close relationship with the father, there (to be) usually far less conflict after the new birth. Temperament, too, is important. Children who (to be) irritable or difficult react most strongly to the birth of a sibling.
Not surprisingly it is often when mothers are attending to the new baby that siblings play up. Rosie Summers recalls: "Literally, no sooner had I (to start) to feed the baby than Lisa, then two, would announce that she (to want) a drink or would go into another room and start dropping things. It was extremely irritating."
What families forget is that not only is sibling rivalry normal, it can also have a positive side. It is important (to remember) Freud's view that if you cannot hate you cannot love. In most families, sibling rivalry and sibling affection are two sides of the same coin. A mother of two boys aged sixteen and ten (to have) this experience: "My kids will be at each other's throats, complaining to me about what the other has done or has got. Yet if someone is unpleasant to one, or if either hurts himself, nobody could be more caring or concerned than the other."
