“There have been hundreds and hundreds of research studies that show that only children are no different from their peers (同龄人)，” Susan Newman，a social psychologist at Rutgers University in the US，told ABC News.

　　This raises another question：why are only children still viewed with such suspicion?

　　“There is a belief that’s been around probably since humans first existed that to have just one child is somehow dangerous，both for you and for the continuation of your race，” Toni Falbo，a professor of educational psychology，told the Guardian.“In the past a lot of children died.You’d have had to be crazy to only have one.”

　　Times，of course，have changed and infant mortality (婴儿死亡率) has largely reduced.So what do only children themselves say?

　　Kayley Kravitz，a blogger for The Huffington Post，grew up as an only child and highly recommends the experience.“Being an only child taught me the most valuable skill of all：the ability to be alone，” she said.

　　1．Which of the following could be the best title for the text?

　　A．Are only children lonely?

　　B．Are only children common?

　　C．Are only children dangerous?

　　D．Are only children different?

　　2．What does Susan Newman mean?

　　A． Only children are as good as their peers.
