问题     Donna’s fourth grade classroom looked typically traditional. Yet something seemed different that day when I entered it for the first time.
    My job was to make classroom visits and encourage implementing a training program focusing on language arts, ideas that would empower students to feel good about themselves and take charge of their lives. Donna was one of the volunteer teacher in this project.
    I sat in the back and watched. All the students were working on the task, filling their notebook paper with thoughts and ideas. A student next to me was filling her page with "I can’t kick the soccer ball." "I can’t do long division with more than three numerals." Her page was half full and she showed no signs of letting up. I walked down the row glancing at student’s papers. Everyone was writing down things they couldn’t do.
    By this time the activity engaged my curiosity. I decided to check with the teacher to see what was going on but I noticed she too was busy writing "I can’t get John’s mother to come for a teacher conference." "I can’t get my daughter to put gas in the car." "I can’t …"
    Curious and puzzled about what they were doing. I returned to my seat and continued my observations.
    Students wrote for another ten minutes. They were then instructed to fold the papers in half and bring them to the front. They placed their "I can’t " statements into all empty shoe box. Then Donna added hers. She put the lid on the box, tucked in under her arm and headed out the door and down the hall.
    Students followed her. I followed the students. Half way down the hall way. Donna entered the custodian’s room, came out with a shovel, and marched the students out to the farthest corner of the playground. There they began to dig. They were going to bury their "I cant’s"!
    The digging took over then minutes with dirt. Students stood around the freshly dug grave. At this point Donna announced, "Boys and girls, please join hands and bow your heads."
    They quickly formed a circle around the grave.
    They lowered their heads and waited. Donna delivered the eulogy.
    "Friends, we gathered here today to honor the memory of I can’t. While he was with us on earth, he touched the lives of everyone, some more than others. We have provided I can’t with a final resting place and a headstone that contains his epitaph. He is survived by this brothers and sisters, I can’t, I will, and I’ m Going to. They are not as well known as their famous relative and are certainly not as strong and powerful. Perhaps some day, with your help, they will make an even bigger mark on the world. May I can’t rest in peace and may everyone present pick up their lives and move forward in his absence. A men."
According to the passage, which of the following statements is INCORRECT?

选项 A、Donna was a volunteer teacher of the training program.
B、The author knew what was going to happen when he/she entered the classroom.
C、Donna’s fourth grade classroom appeared to be traditional, resembling many
D、Everyone, regardless of gender, age, and occupation, many encounter many "I cant’s" in life.

答案B

解析 本题A项说Donna是参与该项目的一个志愿教师,由文章第二段中的"Donna was one of thevolunteer teacher in this project."可知A项正确。B项说作者一进教室就知道他们正在做什么,由文章第四段中"By this time the activity engaged my curiosity.I decided to check with the teacher to see whatwas going on."可知,作者想看看他们做什么,说明作者进去的时候并不了解。因此B项错误。C项说该老师的班级看起来就是很传统的班级,根据文章首句“Donna’s fourth grade classroom looked typicallytraditional.”可知C项正确。D项说每个人一生都会有很多的“I cant’s”。这在文章最后一段中的“hetouched the lives of everyone”有所体现,因此D项正确。因此答案为B项。
