问题     Life really should be one long journey of joy for children born with a world of wealth at their feet.
    Internationally famous child doctor Robert Coles is the world’s top expert on the influence of money on children. He has written a well-known 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 doctor, "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, however, 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 feelings 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. " The rich children inherit the property from their parents and enjoy a high income. So money will never be one of their problems. "However, they will have a sense of isolation," warns Dr Coles, "and they could suffer from the hardship of not being able to deal with the everyday world because they will never really be given the chance.
    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 heavy load than a happiness to their children. So the first thing for them to consider is to ensure that their families are as rich in love as they are in money.
It seems that the author of the passage______what Dr Coles says in the book The Privileged Ones.
选项 A、knows little about
B、is doubtful about
C、is opposed to
D、agrees with
答案D
解析 本题是一道推断题。文中第二段对Coles医生在《特权者》一书的观点进行了引用。“很显然，成为富有的人存在着一定优势，如较好的健康、教育、光明的工作前程等。但是最重要的是家庭生活质量。钱不能买来爱。”作者随后对这一观点进行了解释、阐述和总结，并在第四段中又引用了Coles医生的观点。由此我们可以推断出，作者是同意Coles医生在《特权者》一书中所说的观点的。故选项D正确。
