Education is one of the key words of our time. A man without an education, many of us believe, is an unfortunate victim of unfortunate circumstances deprived of one of the greatest twentieth century opportunities. Convinced of the importance of education, modem states "invest" in institutions of learning to get back "interest" in the form of a large group of enlightened young men and women who are potential leaders. Education, with its cycles of instruction so carefully worked out, punctuated by textbooks—those purchasable wells of wisdom—what would civilization be like without its benefits?
So much is certain: that we would have doctors and preachers, lawyers and defendants, marriages and births; but out spiritual outlook would be different. We would lay less stress on "facts and figures" and more on the capacity of a man to get along with his fellow citizens. If our educational system were fashioned after its bookless past we would have the most democratic form of "college" imaginable. Among the people whom we like to call savages all knowledge inherited by tradition is, shared by this respect that everybody is equipped for life.
It is the ideal condition of the "equal start" in which only our most progressive forms of modem education try to regain. In primitive cultures tile obligation to seek and to receive the traditional instruction is binding to all. There are no "illiterate"—if the term can be applied to people without a script—while our own compulsory school attendance became law in Germany in 1642, in France in 1806, and in England in 1976, and still non-existent in a number of "civilized" nations. This shows how long it was before we considered it necessary to make sure that all our children could share in the knowledge accumulated by the "happy few" during the past centuries.
Education in the wilderness is not a matter of financial means. All are entitled to an equal start. There is none of the hurry that, in our society, often hinders the full development of a growing personality. There, a child grows up under the ever present attention of his parents; therefore is jungles and the savages know of no "juvenile delinquency". No necessity of making a living away from home results in the neglect of children, and no father is confronted with his inability to buy an education for his child. [br] According to the passage, the "happy few" (Last Line, Para. 3) refers to ______.
选项
A、children who had the privilege of going to school
B、civilized nations that had a lot of schools
C、those countries like Germany, France and England
D、illiterate people in primitive cultures
答案
A
解析
语义理解题。根据上下文可知与all our children相对应,“the happy few”指少数可上学的幸运儿。故A项“有上学特权的孩子们”为正确答案。本文主要讨论的是教育是平等问题,要让所有儿童享有平等的受教育机会。所以happy few至少应该和儿童有关,所以把B“有许多学校的文明过度”和 C“像德,法、英这样的国家”的选项排除;从答题技巧来说,既然是“happy few”,肯定死是比较幸运的了,所以D指的是原始社会中所有的文盲,不存在happy一说。
