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.
Based on the information in the passage, you can infer that the passage is______.
选项 A、about the family’s mechanism of species survival
B、about the social, economic, and emotional usefulness of the family throughout human history
C、about duties of the family shared by both husband and wife
D、about the emotional needs received from parents, siblings, and relations
答案B
解析 这是一道推断题。本文讲了家庭在人类历史上所发挥的几种重要功能，即：维持种群生存、提供经济保障、为其成员提供社会地位和情感需要。由此我们可以推断出，这篇文章是关于家庭在人类历史长河中给社会、经济和个人感情带来的益处。
