问题    Of all the areas of learning the most important is the development of attitudes. Emotional reactions as well as logical thought processes affect the behavior of most people.
   "The burnt child fears the fire" is one instance; another is the rise of despots like Hitler. Both these examples also point up the fact that attitudes stem from experience. In file one case, the experience was direct and impressive; in the other, it was indirect and cumulative. The Nazis were indoctrinated largely by the speeches riley heard and the books they read.
   The classroom teacher in the elementary school is in a strategic position to influence attitudes. This is true partly because children acquire attitudes from those adults whose word they respect.
   Another reason, it is true, is that pupils often delve somewhat deeply into a subject in school that has only been touched upon at home or has possibly never occurred to them before. To a child who had previously acquired little knowledge of Mexico, his teacher’s method of handling such a unit would greatly affect his attitude toward Mexicans.
   The media through which the teacher can develop wholesome attitudes are innumerable. Social studies, science matters of health and safety, the very atmosphere of the classroom--these are a few of the fertile fields for the inculcation of proper emotional reactions.
   However, when children come to school with undesirable attitudes, it is unwise for the teacher to attempt to change their feelings by scolding them. She can achieve the proper effect by helping them obtain constructive experiences.
   Finally, a teacher must constantly evaluate her own attitudes, because her influence can be deleterious if she has personal prejudices, This is especially true in respect to controversial issues and questions on which children should be encouraged to reach their own decisions as a result of objective analysis of all the facts.
The central idea conveyed in the above passage is that ______.
选项 A、attitudes affect our actions
B、teachers play a significant role in developing or changing pupils’ attitudes
C、attitudes can be changed by some classroom experiences
D、the elementary school is a more effective milieu for developing wholesome attitudes than high school or college
答案B
解析 全文阐述了学生态度的形成，教师在学生态度形成方面影响深刻，所以[B]最贴切。
