问题     The most fundamental group to which a person belongs is the family. The institution of the family exists in almost every human culture. It is considered by behavioral scientists to be one of the oldest institutions in human history.
    The family unit serves many important functions. The performance of these functions is the reason for the family’s importance. Above all, the family serves as a mechanism of species survival.
    Families also have important economic functions. In primitive societies, the tasks of gathering food and providing shelter were divided among family members. Today, both husband and wife may work and share the duties of homemaking and child rearing.
    In addition to its survival and economic functions, the family gives its members social status. In many societies, a person is not considered a complete member until he has married and produced children. Finally, the family helps to meet the basic emotional needs of a person through the love and support received from parents, siblings (兄弟或姐妹)，and relatives.
According to the passage, which of the following is an example of the role of the family in giving status?
选项 A、A child is taught to respect his elders.
B、A couple works for several years to save for the purchase of a home.
C、A politician makes a campaign commercial with his family.
D、A mother comforts a child after he skins his knee.
答案C
解析 文中第四段第二句说：“在许多社会中，一个人只有结了婚，生了孩子才被认为是完整的社会人。”由此我们可以推断出，在许多社会中一个人只有拥有了一个完整的家庭才能具有一定的社会地位。所以选项C“一个政治家同他的家人一起做了一个政治竞选的电视广告”符合文章内容。其他三个选项均未体现出家庭为其成员提供了社会地位。
