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.
In the eyes of the 12-year-old boy, his parents’ marriage
选项
A、is full of romance.
B、cannot last long.
C、still can be saved.
D、is doomed to failure.
答案
B
解析
在这个12岁男孩眼中,他父母的婚姻[A]充满了浪漫。[B]不能持久。[C]还可以拯救。[D]注定要失败。根据题干中的关键词the 12一yearold boy,可以在第三段结尾处找到解答本题的信息。原文的意思是:这个像50岁的人那样老成的12岁男孩认为,尽管他的父母还生活在一起,而且已经试过三次了,他还是觉得他们的婚姻不能维持多久。这正是[B]的内容。
