问题     In the United States elementary education begins at the age of six. At this stage nearly all the teachers are women, mostly married. (80) The atmosphere is usually very friendly, and the teachers have now accepted the idea that the important thing is to make the children happy and interested. The old authoritarian (要绝对服从的) methods of education were discredited (不被认可) rather a long time ago-so much so that many people now think that they have gone too far in the direction of trying to make children happy and  interested rather than giving them actual instruction.
    The social education of young children tries to make them accept the idea that human beings in a Society need to work together for their common good. So the emphasis is on cooperation rather than competition throughout most of this process. This may seem curious, in view of the fact that American society is highly competitive; however, the need for making people sociable in this sense has come to be regarded as one of the functions of education. Most Americans do grow up with competitive ideas, and obviously quite a few as criminals, but it is not fair to say that the educational system fails. It probably does succeed in making most people sociable and ready to help one another both in material ways and through kindness and friendliness.
选项 A、sensible and sensitive
B、competitive and interested
C、curious and friendly
D、happy and cooperative
答案 D
解析 本题考查的是考生对全文整体的把握。全文分两个部分：第一段着重阐述美国初等教育是要给小孩创造一个充满快乐和兴趣的成长氛围。the important thing is to make the children happy and interested，“重要的是让孩子们快乐和有兴趣”；第二段主要阐述的是初等教育所包含的社会化教育，培养孩子们在竞争的过程中有合作的意识。 So the emphasis is on cooperation rather than competition throughout most of this process.“重点是在所有的过程中培养合作的意识而不是竞争。”因此，D选项是正确的，其他在文章中没有提到，不符合题意。
