Dozens of children at a Utah elementary school had their lunch trays taken away from them before they could take a bite this week Salt Lake City School District officials said the trays were taken away at Utah Elementary School Tuesday because some students had negative balances in their accounts used to pay for lunches. But they admit the situation should have been handled differently. Instead of regular lunches, the students were given fruit and milk. "We don’t ever let kids go without any food entirely," said Salt Lake City School District spokesman Jason Olsen. One mother said, she was "blindsided" when her daughter described what a school district official told her: "You don’t have any money in your account, so you can’t get lunch." "There were a lot of tears," she said, "and it was pretty upsetting for them." The district said it started notifying parents about negative account balances Monday. But the mother said she and other parents were never told about the problem.
5. Why were some children offered only fruit and milk for lunch?
6. How did parents react to the school’s way of handling the situation?
7. When were the parents informed of negative balances according to the district?

选项 A、The school stopped providing school lunch.
B、Their parents preferred fruit and milk for lunch.
C、Their parents failed to pay for school lunch.
D、They chose to have something different.

答案 C

解析 新闻提到,犹他州的许多小学生被收走了午餐盘,原因是他们用于支付午餐的账户余额不足(had negative balances);学校没有给这部分孩子提供惯常的午餐,而是给他们发了水果和牛奶。由此可知,C“父母未支付午餐费用”为答案。A“学校停止提供午餐”与新闻不符。B“他们的家长更喜欢水果和牛奶当午餐”和D“他们选择要不一样的东西”都属于无中生有。
