On June 17,1744, the officials from Maryland and Virginia held a talk with the Indians of the Six Nations. The Indians were invited to send boys to William and Mary College. In a letter the next day they refused the offer as follows:
We know that you have a high opinion of the kind of learning taught in your colleges, and that the costs of living of our young men, while with you, would be very expensive to you. We are convinced that you mean to do us good by your proposal; and we thank you heartily. But you must know that different nations have different ways of looking at things, and you will therefore not be offended if our ideas of this kind of education happen not to be the same as yours. We have had some experience of it. Several of our young people were formerly brought up at the colleges of the northern provinces; they were taught all your sciences; but when they came back to us they were bad runners, ignorant of every means of living in the woods; they were totally good for nothing.
We are, however, not the less obliged by your kind offer, though we refuse to accept it. And to show our grateful sense of it, if the gentlemen of Virginia will send us a dozen of their sons, we will take care of their education, teach them in all we know and make men of them.
Questions 26 to 29 are based on the passage you have just heard.
26. What is the passage mainly about?
27. What seems to be the Indians’ chief purpose in writing the letter?
28. What did the Indians believe according to the letter?
29. Why did the Indians think that they were different from the officials’ view of education?
选项
A、The Indians also educated young women.
B、The Indians had different goals of education.
C、The Indians taught different branches of science.
D、The Indians should teach the sons of the officials first.
答案
B
解析
短文中举例:they were taught all your sciences;but…bad runners…totally good for nothing,由此可知,印第安人有自己的教育方式及目的,故答案为[B]。
