134. The more television children watch, the less competent they are in mathematical knowledge. More than a third of children in the United States watch television for more than five hours a day; in South Korea the figure is only 7 percent. But whereas less than 15 percent of children in the United States understand advanced measurement and geometric concepts, 40 percent of South Korean children are competent in these areas. Therefore, if United States children are to do well in mathematics, they must watch less television.

Which one of the following is an assumption upon in advanced measurement and geometric concepts than are South Korean children?

(A) Children in the United States are less interested in advanced measurement and geometric concepts than are South Korean children.

(B) South Korean children are more disciplined about doing schoolwork than are

(C) Children who want to do well in advanced measurement and geometry will watch less television.

(D) A child’s ability in advanced measurement and geometry increases if he or she watches less than one hour of television a day.

(E) The instruction in advanced measurement and geometric concepts available to children in the United States is not substantially worse than that available to South Korean children.

答案是E，我也理解，是排除它因

但我一开始选错的是C。我觉得这个选项挺有迷惑性的。提及了原文的相关主语及事件。我的理解是孩子们为了提高数学而少看电视，所以看电视少的孩子们数学好。感觉也对，但肯定不如E，请教我这里理解有哪里不妥的地方？

非常感谢！
