问题     Albert Einstein once attributed (把......归因于) the creativity of a famous scientist to the fact that he "never went to school, and therefore kept the rare gift of thinking freely". There is undoubtedly a truth in Einstein’s observation; many artists and geniuses seem to view their schooling as a disadvantage. But such a truth is not a criticism of schools.

The creative explorer of unmapped lands shares with tile genius what William James described as the gift for thinking in an unusual way. As schools teach set patterns, they tend to destroy creativity and genius. But if schools could somewhat exist only to cultivate genius, then society would break down. For the social order demands unity and widespread agreement, which r, re destructive to creativity and genius.

选项 A、Einstein and artists have said schools limit creativity and genius.
B、Schools should be designed to encourage creativity and social order.
C、Explorers and geniuses look at the world differently from the way most people do.
D、Schools can never satisfy the needs of both genius and society as a whole.
