问题     Children for whom school has no point
    Many children do not go to school either because their parents want them at home as carers for siblings, or simply because their parents cannot be bothered to send them. Thousands more are not registered at any school at all, because of their families’ unstable lives.
    Underlying this dreadful situation there are two central truths. First of all, the problem of children not going to school often has more to do with their parents than with the children themselves. Secondly, once children go to school, we need to make sure that the experience is a positive one so that they want to keep on going.
    In Britain, the Ministry of Education has introduced a complex package of sticks and carrots to persuade schools to bring truants’ and excluded children back into the classroom. It is paying grants so that a thousand schools can set up special units to help these children. Schools receive the grant if they bring a target number of children back to school; if they do not meet the target, the grant is withdrawn.
    Parents are the subject of this campaign, too: the Home Office has introduced fines for parents who fail to send their children to school, and has given the police power to pick up truants on the streets.
    truant = a child who does not go to school when he or she should.
Part of the problem is_____.

选项 A、that people feel very emotional
B、that parents worry their children at school
C、that these children think education is a waste of time
D、that there are not enough police to pick up truants on the streets

答案C

解析 第二段。最后一句中的positive experience意为“有用的知识”。全句大意是“对孩子来说,如果在学校学到的知识对他们有用,他们将愿意在学校学下去”,而不是去浪费时间。
