问题 　　Life really should be one long journey of joy for children born with a world of wealth at their tiny feet. But psychologists now believe that silver spoons can leave a bitter taste. If suicide statistics are an indicator of happiness, then the rich are a miserable lot. Figures show that it is the wealthy who most often do away with themselves.
　　Internationally famous child psychiatrist Dr. Robert Coles is the world’s top expert on the influence of money on children. He has written a highly acclaimed book on the subject, The Privileged Ones, and his research shows that too much money in the family can cause as many problems as too little. "Obviously there are certain advantages to being rich," says the 53-year-old psychiatrist, "such as better health education and future work prospects. But most important is the quality of family life. Money can’t buy love. "
　　It can buy a lot of other things, though, and that’s where the trouble starts. Rich kids have so much to choose from that they often become confused. Over-indulgence by their parents can make them spoilt. They tend to travel more than other children, from home to home and country to country, which causes feeling of restlessness.
　　"But privileged children do have a better sense of their positions in the world," adds Mr. Coles, "and they are more self-assured." I can’t imagine, for instance, that Prince William will not grow up to be self-assured. Prince William is probably the most privileged child in the world and will grow up to fill the world’s most privileged position—King of England.
　　So money will never be one of Prince William’s problems, living anything that resembles a normal life will. "He will have a sense of isolation," cautions Dr. Coles, "and he could suffer from the handicap of not being able to deal with the everyday world because he will never really be given the chance. Royals exist in an elaborate social fantasy. Everything they have achieved is because of an accident of birth. There can be no tremendous inner satisfaction about that."
　　Today’s wealthy parents perhaps realize their riches can be more of a burden than a blessing to their children. So their priority is to ensure that their families are as rich in love as they are in money.  
It can be inferred that Prince William ______.
选项 A、will have difficulty in adapting to the normal world
B、will be the richest man in the world
C、easily suffers from mental problems than common children
D、will bear the burden of ruling a country
答案A
解析 此题为细节判断题。文章第五段第二句指出：he could suffer from the handicap of not being able to deal with the everyday world because he will never really be given the chance.由此可知威廉王子很可能在应对普通生活上遇到障碍。A项是其同义表述，所以符合题意。
