问题    Some politicians are scurrying about with much zest and anticipation. It is time, their polls inform them, to find the quick fix for what they have determined is a society plagued by the irregular heartbeat of deficient values.
   But there are contradictions that intrude on this denunciatory atmosphere. If there are moral omissions in the society, they cannot be sealed by instant, slenderly based attacks on entertainment. The plain fact is we are rearranging our priorities in the wrong way.
   We are today misplacing our energies and our funding by directing all sorts of incentives to high schools and colleges. That is too late. The moral scaffolding has been built by then, for better or for worse. How then to begin this revision of life conduct? We must introduce in pre-school, and keep alive through grade five, a new school course.
   The course could be titled, "What is right, and what is plainly wrong." For 30 minutes each day, the teacher would illuminate for these very young children what William Faulkner labeled "the old verities", the words that construct and implement the daily moral grind in every durable society must engage if it is to be judged a "just" society.
   These are words like duty, honor, service, integrity, pity, pride, compassion and sacrifice, plus the clear demonstration that violence is wrong. To the teaching of the meaning of those words must be added that cleansing rule of treating other people as you would want them to treat you. And most of all to make sure that these kids understand with growing clarity that home, school and church are the sanctuaries for their later life.
   There is a grand simplicity to this kind of school course. It enters a child’s mind early, burrowing deep into those recesses of the human brain that even today advanced medical science has not been able to penetrate.
   If you ask enough people, you will find that most of us remember our first or second grade teacher. I remember Miss Corbett and Miss Walker, who read to us before we really understood, but the words had weight and allure. We listened and, without really knowing it, we learned and saved what we learned. Perhaps, it was because what we heard in those early school years was the first entry into our learning vessel.
   Absent this kind of early instruction, absent the building of this moral shield, no congressional law, no presidential executive order, no fiery rhetoric will salvage a child’s conduct nor locate a missing moral core.  [br] With respect to the rectification of the situation the author believes that ______ .

选项 A、it’s easy to carry moral education at and above high school level
B、high school students don’t need any further moral education
C、no return is to be gained on the investment in moral education
D、more education in primary school or still earlier should be much emphasized

答案 D

解析事实细节题。根据文章第三段第一、二句可知，作者认为从大学入手太晚了，价值观念已形成，所以应该在学前班(pre-school)就开始道德教育，一直到五年级，所以选择D 。
