问题     More than 6 000 children were expelled from US schools last year for bringing guns and bombs to school, the US Department of Education said on May 8.
    The department gave a report to the expulsions(开除) as saying handguns accounted for 58 percent of the 6 093 expulsions in 1996～1997, against 7 percent for rifles or shotguns and 35 percent for other types of firearms.
    "The report is a clear sign that our nation’s public schools are cracking down on students who bring guns to school," Education Secretary Richard Rile said in a statement. "We need to be tough-minded about keeping guns out of our schools and do everything to keep our children safe."
    In March 1997, an 11 years old boy and 13 years old boy using handguns and rifles shot dead four children and a teacher at a school in Jonesboro, Arkansas. In October, two were killed and seven wounded in a shooting at a Mississippi school. Two months later, a 14 years old boy killed three high school students and wounded five in Dasucah, Kentucky.
    Most of the expulsions, 56 percent, were from high schools, which have students from about age 13. Thirty four percent were from junior high schools and 9 percent were from elementary schools, the report said.
选项 A、students enjoy shooting
B、students are eager to be soldier’s
C、safety is a problem
D、students can make guns
答案C
解析 文章第一段只有一句话，说明的是美国学校中有6 000多名学生因为携带枪支弹药去学校而被开除。由常识可以推断，这种情况说明美国学校里的安全是很成问题的，故答案是[C]。
