In Britain one third of all marriages end in divorce and one in four families with children is headed by a lone parent. A recent study by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development found such children are 40% more likely to be poor academic performers. Another report—Divorce and Separation : the Outcomes for Children—surveys 200 research studies. The authors Bryan Rogers and Jan Pryor draw the bleak conclusion that children of separated families tend to gain fewer academic qualifications as well as being more likely to leave school and home early. They are also at a much higher risk of behaving antisocially or criminally and are more likely to
resort to
smoking, drinking and illegal drug use.
So, given these gloomy facts, is there anything that schools can do? Tiverton high school in Devon thinks there is. Now Tiverton has won a 20,000 Barclays New Futures Challenge Award to finance a project called Changing Families. The aim is to help the children within the school, and then to move the work out into the community and primary schools. Nina Wroe, a former deputy head teacher in Exeter, is the school’s community partner. She worked with a group of 12- and 13-year-olds. They are telling and developing a story over several weeks and they plan to take it out to primary schools as a piece of drama. Some students are committed and keen. Others are very fidgety and clearly disturbed.
"Mark and Sarah don’t want to do things together any more. They argue. And he’s spending too much time with his secretary," one of the girls helpfully recalls. Gradually the others flesh out the complete picture. Then they role-play the fictitious children’s sad return to Mum after a weekend with Dad. But the fiction is just a means of facing the issues. Unobtrusively the Tiverton children slip into their own real-life anecdotes. "They might think they can live together but I bet they can’t," says one 12-year-old boy with the studied wisdom of a 50-year-old. "My parents have tried it three times. They’re together again now but I wouldn’t give it long. "
However the research on this issue is routinely ignored that the trouble seems to be to persuade parents, teachers, ministers, the media and the public that divorce and its results do affect children’s welfare and education. People weighed down with the guilt of divorce "baggage", are unlikely to be able to face the truth even when it’s staring them in the face.
Besides helping the children within the school, Changing Families also aims to
选项
A、expand the program to a larger scope.
B、donate money to primary schools.
C、involve the community in divorce issues.
D、help divorced couples lead good lives.
答案
A
解析
除了帮助学校里的孩子之外,“改变家庭”项目还致力于[A]扩展项目的范围。[B]给小学捐款。[C]让社区参与离婚事宜的处理。[D]帮助离婚的夫妇过上美好的生活。 根据题干中的关键词helping the children within the school和Changing Families,可以知道解答此题的信息出现在第二段。原文指出:该项目的目的是帮助该校的孩子,然后将这项工作扩展到社区及其他小学的孩子身上。其中move…into是“移入”的意思,也就是说,要扩展这个项目的范围,这正是[A]的内容。而[B]、[C]、[D]的内容文章并没有提及。
