According to the 28th annual survey of college freshmen conducted by the American Council on Education and UCLA( University of California at Los Angeles), 65% of college freshmen planned to seek advanced degrees. For the first time in tile history of the survey, women were more likely than men to pursue all major types of advanced degrees (master’ s, doctorate, medicine, and law). In 1967, 3 times as many men as women sought a high-level degree. In 1993, more women than men sought such degrees.
Finances continued to matter in 1993. College freshmen reported, a "very important" reason for attending college was "to be able to make more money" or "to get a better job". Financial consideration were key in college selection. "Low tuition" was said to be a "very important" reason for choosing a college as was a student’ s being offered financial assistance. In 1993, more freshmen than ever depended on federal loans for financial assistance. Additionally, a record number of freshmen (5.6%) expected to work full-time while attending college.
A record number of students applied to 4 or more colleges, which indicated increasing competitive pressures. Survey results suggest that college freshmen feel increasingly stressed. High percentage reported that frequently "felt overwhelmed by all I have to do" and frequently "felt depressed". Students self-ratings on "emotional health" and "physical heath" reached all-time lows. Problems at home may be a cause; record high percentages of freshmen reported their father’ s occupation as "unemployed" (3.7 % ).
For the 6th straight year, college freshmen showed strong interest in health professions. In contrast, for the same period students’ interest in business fields continued to decline ( 16.1%, a decrease from 16.3% in 1992).
College freshmen were more likely to identify themselves as being to the left or to the right of the political center, with those claiming to be "middle of the road" falling below half (49.9% for the first time since 1972 ). Although this movement from the center went to both the left and the right, the right picked up the majority, increasing 2.5 percentage points to 22.9%. The percentage on the left was the highest since 1976 at 27.2%.
A record high percentage of college freshmen (81.8%, an increase from 80.4% in 1992) supported greater efforts to control handguns. Additionally, students’ support for raising taxes to reduce the federal deficit) hit an all-time high (31.4%, an increase from 26.9% in 1992). For the 6th successive year, student support for legislation to outlaw homosexuality declined (36.2%, a decrease from 37.6% in 1992). Support for the legislation of marijuana also increased for the 4th straight year (28.2%, compares with 23% in 1992).
Students self-rating on "emotional health" and "physical health" reached all-lime lows. The reason may be ______.

解析
文章第三段指出"Problems at home may be a cause”,即家庭内部的问题可能是导致学生身心不够健康的一个原因,同时作者近一步指出"high percentages of freshmen reported their father’s occupation as“unemployed”(3.7%)”,即有3.7%的新生的父亲是失业的。故答案为A。
