问题     It has been argued that an infant under three who is cared for outside the home may suffer because of the separation from his parents. The British psychoanalyst John Bowlby maintains that separation from the parents during the sensitive "attachment" period from birth to three may scar a child’s personality and incline to emotional problems in later life. Some people have drawn the conclusion from Bowlby’s work that children should not be subjected to day care before the age of three because of the parental separation it causes, and many people do believe this. But there are also arguments against such a strong conclusion.
    Firstly anthropologists(人类学家) point out that the hidden love between children and parents found in modem societies does not usually exist in traditional societies. For example, we saw earlier that among the Ngoni, the father and mother of a child did not rear their infant alone—far from it. But traditional societies are so different from modem societies that comparisons based on just one factor are hard to interpret.
    Secondly, common sense tells us that day care would not be so widespread today if parents and caretakers found that children had problems with it. But Bowlby’s analysis raises the possibility that early day care has delayed effects. The possibility that such care might lead to, say, more mental illness or crime 15 or 20 years later can only be explored by the use of statistics. Statistical studies of this kind have not yet been carried out, and even if they were, the results would be certain to be complicated and controversial.
    Thirdly, in the last decade, there have been a number of’ careful American studies of children in day care, and they have uniformly reported that day care had a neutral of slightly positive effect on children’s development. But tests that have bad to be used to measure this development are not widely enough accepted to settle the issue.
选项 A、should not be sent to school
B、should be cared for outside the home
C、will not suffer from parental separation
D、don’t mind who will look after them
答案 A
解析 细节题。由题干Bowlby可定位至首段第二句，John Bowlby认为在从出生到二岁这一敏感“接触期”内，与父母的分离将会损害孩子的个性，并为他今后的生活埋下隐患，所以“不该把孩子送去幼儿园”，故选A。
