问题     As researchers learn more about how children’s intelligence develops, they are increasingly surprised by the power of parents. The power of the school has been replaced by the home. To begin with, all the factors which are part of intelligence—the child’s understanding of language; learning patterns, curiosity are established well before the child enters school at the age of six. Study after study has shown that even after school begins, children’s achievements have been far more influenced by parents than by teachers. This is particularly true about learning that is language-related. The school rather than the home is given credit for variations in achievement in subjects such as science.
    In view of their power, it’s sad to see so many parents not making the most of their child’s intelligence. Until recently parents had been warned by educators who asked them not to educate their children. Many teachers now realize that children cannot be educated only at school and parents are being asked to contribute both before and after the child enters school.
    Parents have been particularly afraid to teach reading at home. Of course, children shouldn’t be pushed to read by their parents, but educators have discovered that reading is best taught individually— and the easiest place to do this is at home. Many four-and five-year-olds who have been shown a few letters and taught their sounds will compose single words of their own with them even before they have been taught to read.
What have researchers found out about the influence of parents and the school on children’s intelligence?

选项

答案Parents have greater influence than the schoo1./Parent’s influence is greater than the school’s

解析 本文第一句话是文章的中心。“研究人员对于孩子智力如何发展了解得越多,他们就越来越对家长的巨大作用感到吃惊”。而第二句话是本题的答案所在处:“学校的作用被家庭所取代”,所以答案应是“家长比学校有更大的影响”。
