问题     Education is one of the key words of our time. A man without an education, many of us believe, is an unfortunate victim of unfortunate circumstances deprived of one of the greatest twentieth century opportunities. Convinced of the importance of education, modem states "invest" in institutions of learning to get back "interest" in the form of a large group of enlightened young men and women who are potential leaders. Education, with its cycles of instruction so carefully worked out, punctuated by textbooks—those purchasable wells of wisdom—what would civilization be like without its benefits?
    So much is certain: that we would have doctors and preachers, lawyers and defendants, marriages and births; but out spiritual outlook would be different. We would lay less stress on "facts and figures" and more on the capacity of a man to get along with his fellow citizens. If our educational system were fashioned after its bookless past we would have the most democratic form of "college" imaginable. Among the people whom we like to call savages all knowledge inherited by tradition is, shared by this respect that everybody is equipped for life.
    It is the ideal condition of the "equal start" in which only our most progressive forms of modem education try to regain. In primitive cultures tile obligation to seek and to receive the traditional instruction is binding to all. There are no "illiterate"—if the term can be applied to people without a script—while our own compulsory school attendance became law in Germany in 1642, in France in 1806, and in England in 1976, and still non-existent in a number of "civilized" nations. This shows how long it was before we considered it necessary to make sure that all our children could share in the knowledge accumulated by the "happy few" during the past centuries.
    Education in the wilderness is not a matter of financial means. All are entitled to an equal start. There is none of the hurry that, in our society, often hinders the full development of a growing personality. There, a child grows up under the ever present attention of his parents; therefore is jungles and the savages know of no "juvenile delinquency". No necessity of making a living away from home results in the neglect of children, and no father is confronted with his inability to buy an education for his child.
According to the passage, ______.
选项 A、modem education has reached the ideal condition of the equal start.
B、compulsory schooling is legal obligation in all civilized countries now.
C、the quick pace of modem society harms the development of our children.
D、modem colleges are far more democratic than their primitive counterparts.
答案C
解析 推理判断题。文章最后一段第三句there is none of the hurry, which...often hinders the full development of a growing personality. 不要匆匆忙忙，在我们的社会，这种快节奏经常会阻碍一个人的全面发展，与C意思相吻合。A“现代教育已达到其平等开始的最佳状态”，文章第三段说“平等开始”是一种理想状况，而我们的社会还没达到这一状况，所以排除：B“义务教育在现在的所有文明过度已成为法律义务”与第三段中间的一句话“…still
