问题 Take the case of public education alone．The principal difficulty faced by the schools has beenthe tremendous increase in the number of pupils．This has been caused by the advance of the legalage for going into industry and the impossibility of finding a job even when the legal age has beenreache@D@In view of the technological improvements in the last few years，business will require inthe future proportionately fewer workers than ever before．The result will be still further raising ofthe legal age for going into employment，and still further difficulty in finding employment when thatage has been attaine@D@If we cannot put our children to work，we must put them in school．
We may also be quite confident that the present trend toward a shorter day and a shorter weekwill be maintaine@D@We have developed and shall continue to have a new leisure class．Already thepublic agencies for adult education are swamped by the tide that has swept over them since adepression began．They will be little better off when it is over．Their support must come from thetaxpayer．
It is surely too much to hope that these increases in the cost of public education can be borneby the local communities．They cannot care for the present restricted and inadequate system．Thelocal communities have failed in their efforts to cope with unemployment．They cannot expect tocope with public education on the scale on which we must attempt it．The answer to the problem ofunemployment has been Federal relief．The answer to the problem of public education may have tobe much the same，and properly so．If there is one thing in which the citizens of all parts of thecountry have an interest，it is in the decent education of the citizens of all parts of the country．Ourincome tax now goes in part to keep our neighbors alive．It may have to go in part as well to makeour neighbors intelligent．We are now attempting to preserve the present generation through Federalrelief of the destitute．Only a people determined to ruin the next generation will refuse such Federalfunds as public education may require．
What is the reason for the increase in the number of students?______
选项 A、The requirement of educated workers by business．
B、Raising of the legal age for going to work．
C、The trend toward a shorter workday．
D、People’s concern for the future of the next generation．
答案B
解析 细节题。根据文章第一段第三句“This has been caused by the advance ofthe legal age for going into industry and the impossibility of finding a job even when the legal age-has been reached．”可知，学生人数的增加有两个原因：法定工作年龄的增加和难以找到工作。所以选项B为正确答案。
