[单项选择]In the college-admissions wars, we parents are the true gladiators. We’re pushing our kids to get good grades, take SAT prep courses and build resumes so they can get’ into the college of our first choice. We say our motives are selfless and sensible. A degree from Stanford or Princeton is the ticket for life. If Aaron and Nicole don’t get in, they’ re forever doomed Gosh, we’re delusional.

Admissions anxiety afflicts only a minority of parents. It’s true that getting into college has generally become tougher be
A. too much pressure might lead to unsatisfactory results
B. their own ambition shouldn’t be realized by their children
C. their children might practice job-hopping frequently
D. their children might not share similar interests with them
