问题     Exceptional children are different in some significant ways from others of the same age. For these children to develop to their full adult potential, their education must be adapted to those differences.
    Although we focus on the needs of exceptional children, we find ourselves describing their environment as well. While the leading actor on the stage captures our attention, we are aware of the importance of the supporting players and the scenery of the play itself. Both the family and the society in which exceptional children live are often the key to their growth and development. And it is in the public schools that we find the full expression of society’s understanding—the knowledge, hopes, and fears that are passed on to the next generation.
    Education in any society is a mirror of that society. In that mirror we can see the strengths, the weaknesses, the hopes, the prejudices, and the central values of the culture itself. The great interest in exceptional children shown in public education over the past three decades indicates the strong feeling in our society that all citizens, whatever their special conditions, deserve the opportunity to fully develop their capabilities.
    "All men are created equal. " We’ve heard it many times, but it still has important meaning for education in America. Although the phrase was used by this country’s founders to denote equality before the law, it has also been interpreted to mean equality of opportunity. That concept implies educational opportunity for all children—the right of each child to receive help in learning to the limits of his or her capacity, whether that capacity be small or great. Recent court decisions have confirmed the right of all children—disabled or not—to an appropriate education, and have ordered that public schools take the necessary steps to provide that education. In response, schools are modifying their programs, adapting instruction to children who are exceptional, to those who can not profit substantially from regular programs.
In Paragraph 2, the author cites the example of the leading actor on the stage to show that________.

选项 A、the growth of exceptional children has much to do with their families and the society
B、exceptional children are more influenced by their families than normal children are
C、exceptional children are the key interest of the family and society
D、the needs of the society weigh much heavier than the needs of the exceptional children

答案A

解析 推理判断题。第二段中作者引用舞台上的主演这样的一个例子是为了说明这样一个问题,也就是紧跟这个例子后面的那句话的内容:特殊儿童生活的家庭和社会对他们的成长和发展至关重要。也就是选项A的内容。
