问题     Children’s museums in America are delivering a report card to be envied.
    Since 1990, estimated I00 youth museums have opened, with at least 80 more in the planning phase. There are now 215 such institutions in the United States focusing on a variety of themes and subjects, although many are mainly designed for science popularization.
    "Children’s museums are the fastest-growing cultural institutions in the world," says Janet Rice Elman, executive director of the Association of Youth Museums in the US. "That trend will continue as we see more communities wanting to start up children’s museums to enrich civic (公民的) and family life."
    With the availability of these new facilities, attendance has sky-rocketed, in 1991, 8 million people visited US children’s museums; last year, 33 million people went through their doors.
    This cheerful picture is part of a comprehensive look at children’s museums released last week by the association during its annual conference in St. Louis.
    The growth can be traced to the nation’s rising number of children, the push to foster learning from a variety of approaches, and the increasing popularity of museums in general.
    Children’s museums are a favorite destination for groups of school children on school-organized "field trips". During these days outside the classroom, students have the chance to learn about a range of topics in a fun, hands-on way.
    Students visiting a children’s museum can see exhibits on anything from natural history to anatomy (解剖学) to astronomy (天文学). The museums focus on interactive learning, with games and demonstrations designed to help kids learn without realizing they’re doing so.
    The museums are also a popular destination for families, allowing parents to become more involved in their kids’ education and give parents and children a chance to have fun together.
Which of the following statements is True?
选项 A、Children are always clear about what they are learning in the museums.
B、Parents are usually more interested in the museums than their children.
C、Playing games is a means of interactive learning offered by the museums.
D、Many demonstrations in the museums are designed by the kids.
答案C
解析 此题问下列哪一种说法正确。根据第八段最后一句“The museums focus on interactive learning，with games and demonstrations designed to help kids learn with- out realizing they’re doing so．”可以得出结论，C项是答案。A项内容与文章意思相反；B项内容文章里并没有体现出来；D项内容出现了概念上的错误，展览馆中大部分内容是为孩子们设计的，而不是由孩子们设计的。
