问题     A father’s relationship to his child’s current and future academic success and the level of his or her development in academic potential and scholastic achievement are both factors with some rather interesting implications that educators are beginning to study and evaluate. As a matter of fact, "life with father" has been discovered to be a very important factor in determining a child’s progress or lack of progress in school.
    A recent survey of over 16,000 children made by the National Child Development Study in London, England, revealed that children whose fathers came to school conferences and accompanied their children on outing did measurably better in school than did those children whose fathers were not involved in those activities. The study, which monitored children born during a week in March, 1958, from the time of their birth through the years of their early schooling, further revealed that the children of actively involved fathers scored as much as seven months higher in reading and math than did those children whose only involved parent was the mother. The purpose of the study was to evaluate the role played by fathers in the raising of a child. It indicated a much higher level of parental involvement by the father than had been estimated. Over 66% of the fathers were said to have played a major role in parental responsibility.
    The study also suggested that the greatest level of paternal parenting took place in the families of only children. As the number of children and financial obligations increases, the father’s apparent interest and involvement with the children decreased. However, no matter what the size or financial condition of the family, a father’s active participation in the child’s development made a definite difference in the child’s progress.
    The study further revealed that while the frequency of overnight absences reflected a corresponding deficiency employment on late shifts appeared to have little effect on the child’s academic progress. The data from the study was Obtained primarily through interviews from parents, teachers and physicians. The information evaluating the level of the father’s parenting performance was obtained primarily from the admittedly subjective observations of their wives.
Children who tended to generally progress academically were______.
选项 A、those whose mothers gave them the most affection
B、children who had been given a balanced diet
C、from one-parent families
D、those who had no brothers or sisters
答案D
解析 依据文中第三段首句，研究表明，独生子女家庭中父亲教养水平也很高。选项D正表达了这个观点。
