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.
The bleak outcomes of the children from divorced family demonstrate that they
选项
A、are few but with high academic qualifications.
B、become more independent.
C、find partner and get married early.
D、are more likely to commit crimes.
答案
D
解析
离异家庭的孩子惨淡的出路证明了他们[A]人数很少但是学历很高。[B]变得更加独立。[C]早早地找到伴侣并结婚。[D]更有可能犯罪。通过题干中的关键词bleak outcomes和children in divorced family,可以在第一段找到解答本题的信息。原文指出:离异家庭的孩子主要表现在以下几方面:一,他们取得学业资格证书的人数往往比较少,[A]错在说他们取得高学历;二,他们比正常家庭的孩子更有可能早日离开学校和家庭,可见这是一种贬义的说法,而[B]错在independent是褒义词;三,他们更有反社会和违法犯罪的危险性,这正是[D]的内容.[C]的内容文章并未提及。
