问题    The United States has many different types of families. While most American families are traditional comprising a father, mother and one or more children, 22.5 percent of all American families in 1983 were headed by one parent, usually a woman. In some families in the United States, there are no children. These childless couples may believe that they would not make good parents; they may want freedom from the responsibilities of child-rearing; or perhaps they are not physically able to have children. Other families in the United States have one adult who is a stepparent. A stepmother or stepfather is a person who joins a family by marrying a father or mother.
   Americans tolerate and accept these different types of families. In the United States, people have the right to privacy and Americans do not believe in telling other Americans what type of family group they must belong to. They respect each other’s choices regarding family groups.
Which of the following is NOT the cause of childless couples?

选项 A、They are too busy with their work.
B、They may not be good parents.
C、They want to be free from the family responsibilities.
D、They are physically unable to have children.

答案A

解析 从文章第一段的第四句可以看出,有些美国人不要小孩的原因有三个:害怕自己不能成为好父母;不想承担养育孩子的任务;或者是身体不适合要小孩。只有A项的内容没有被提到。
