问题     If it were only necessary to decide whether to teach elementary science to everyone on a mass basis or to find the gifted few and take them as far as they can go, our task would be fairly simple. The public school system, however, has no such choice, for the jobs must be carried on at the same time. Because we depend heavily upon science and technology for our progress, we must produce specialists in many fields. Because we live in a democratic nation, whose citizens make the policies for the nation, large numbers of us must be educated to understand, to support, and when necessary, to judge the work of experts. The public school must educate both producers and users of scientific services.
    In education, there should be a good balance among the branches of knowledge that contribute to effective thinking and wise judgment. Such a balance is defeated by too much emphasis on any other field. This question of balance involves not only the relation of the natural sciences, the social sciences, and the arts but also relative emphasis among the natural sciences themselves.
    Similarly, we must have a balance between current and classical knowledge. The attention of the public is continually drawn to the discovery of new knowledge; it should not be allowed to turn our attention away from the sound, established materials that form the basis of courses for beginners.
Which of the following is not included in the passage? (  )
选项 A、A democratic nation needs a lot of well-educated citizens.
B、We depend much on science and technology for our progress.
C、The educators are required to lay emphasis on some particular field.
D、Elementary science should be taught on a mass basis in public schools.
答案C
解析 细节题。根据第二段的第2句话“…Such a balance is defeated by too much emphasis on any other field”可知学校不会偏重任何一门学科，因此C项的说法是错误的。
