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.
The last paragraph tells us that ______.
选项 A、education in the wilderness is a matter of financial means
B、juvenile delinquency is the result of parental negligence of their children’s education
C、making a living away from home is an excuse for the negligence of children
D、some families can hardly pay for the tuition for their children
答案B
解析 事实细节题。文章最后一段说孩子在父母过分的呵护下成长，没有离开家去谋生的必要，这其实是父母对孩子的忽视，而原始社会父母不呵护孩子，所以原始社会没有青少年犯罪。可见，青少年犯罪是因为父母太呵护孩子，B“青少年犯罪是父母忽视孩子教育的结果”为最佳答案。A所说的“荒蛮地区的教育是一个财政手段问题。”与本段第一句，Education in the wilderness is not a matter of financial means．All are entitled to an equal start. 存在
