参考答案【正确答案：D】
判断题。由第六段 They include a lack of adequate education and job skills. A majority of theteenagers and adults have not completed high school. 第七段 One third of the adult homeless population abuses alcohol, while one quarter of the same group uses drugs. 第八段 Within the past several years many institutions for the mentally ill have been closed and their patients sent “home”.可以看出，成为无家可归者的原因是：没有接受过足够的教育、酗酒和吸毒恶习以及一些精神病院的关闭。文章没有提及经济是否萧条，故D选项是正确答案。
