问题 资料：Britain is facing a “crisis of fatherlessness” in which almost half of all children born today will not be living with both parents by the time they are 15, the new chief executive of the thinktank founded by Iain Duncan Smith has warned.Andy Cook, who runs the Centre for Social Justice, which is chaired by the former cabinet minister, argued that regular contact with a father figure reduced criminal behavior in children and boosted cognitive skills including reasoning and language development.Cook claimed there was too much of a “throwaway culture” to parenting, adding: “Over the last 40 years, the meteoric rise in family breakdown has blighted （损害） the lives of the poorest children the most. The relationship children have with their fathers affects their self-esteem, how well they do at school, even whether they are able to form happy, long-lasting relationships as adults.”Cook said it was inevitable that relationships would not always work out, but argued that a culture shift could reduce the prevalence of family breakdown, and stressed the importance of parenting once couples had separated.“We need a societal shift in perspective from regarding fathers as a dispensable extra to recognizing their value as a crucial pillar in a child’s life.” he said.Cook argued policy ought to be focused on longer-term thinking, and emphasizing the potential impact on children of troubled relationships, stressing the disproportionate effect on the poorest. His thinktank’s figures show that by the age of five 48% of children in low-income families are not living with both parents, compared with 16% of children in middle-to higher-income families.He said his work would also focus on four other factors that contributed to poverty: educational failure, worklessness, problem debt and addiction. Looking only at income levels skewed policy, he added. Despite controversy in the education sector about the growth of grammar schools, Cook argued that there was evidence they could be successful if headteachers tried to find the most talented children from poorer families.The former chief executive of the Centre for Social Justice, Christian Guy, who became the PM's poverty adviser, said the hope of the previous strategy was to “start a parenting revolution——for too long politicians looked away as family instability and poor child development blighted lives in the poorest neighbourhoods”.“Parents want what's best for their children, but great advice tends to be the preserve of the better off. This has to change if we want to see children starting school ready to lead to communicate and forming healthy relationships”.It is widely believed that fathers______.A.tend to overlook the importance of parentingB.help to prevent children from committing a crimeC.are not indispensable in the growth of their childrenD.improve kids’development of cognitive skills

【关键词】widely believed; fathers
【主题句】
（1）第2段Andy Cook, who runs the Centre for Social Justice, which is chaired by the former cabinet minister, argued that regular contact with a father figure reduced criminal behavior in children and boosted cognitive skills including reasoning and language development. 由前内阁部长担任主席的社会正义中心的负责人Andy Cook认为，定期与父亲联系可以减少儿童的犯罪行为，并提高其认知技能，包括推理和语言发展。
（2）第4段第2句“We need a societal shift in perspective from regarding fathers as a dispensable extra to recognizing their value as a crucial pillar in a child’s life.” he said. 他说：“我们需要从视角上进行一次社会变革，不要将父亲看作一种可有可无的额外因素，要认识到他们作为儿童生活重要支柱的价值。”
本题的问题是“人们普遍认为，父亲们______” 选项A 意为“倾向于忽视养育子女的重要性”；选项B意为“帮助防止儿童犯罪”；选项C意为“对子女的成长不是必不可少的”；选项D 意为“改善孩子的认知技能发展”。根据主题句1，选项B和D是Andy Cook的观点，而非人们普遍认识，故不选；根据主题句2，可以推测之所以进行社会变革，就是因为大部分人固化地认为父亲在儿童教育中可有可无，不是必不可少，故选项C符合题意；选项A文中并未提及，故不选。
