Question

阅读下列短文，从所给的四个选项中，选出佳答案

　A book which is still being discussed by many Americans today is Future Shock by Alivin Toffler． In this book the author describes the great changes which have been made in family life because of science and industry．

　In the past, when more Americans lived on farms, the typical (典型的) family had many children． In a farm family, parents and their children often lived with grandparents． Often, too, uncles and aunts lived nearby． But when industry became more important than agriculture in American life, families became smaller．Industry requires workers who are ready and able to move off the land and to move again whenever necessary．Larger families cannot be moved from one place to another as smaller families can．

　Today, because of industrialization, a typical family will be required to move even more often than now, so families will be even smaller．The typical family may remain childless and consist (由…组成) only of a man and a woman．A smaller number of families may raise children．These families may raise children as their important duty, leaving the childless families free to move from job．Furthermore, these child-raising families may raise other people's children in addition to their own．
