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. [br] According to the letter, the Indians believed that______.
选项
A、it would be better for their boys to receive some schooling
B、they were being insulted by the offer
C、they knew more about science than the officials
D、they had a better way of educating young men
答案
D
解析
本题要求考生对文章内容进行概括。问从这封信中反映出来的印第安人的信念或观点。他们用实例说明了他们自己有更好的教育方法,因而客气地拒绝了政府官员提出要他们派孩子去读大学的好意。所以此题的正确答案应是D“他们有自己更好的教育方法”。
