问题     Exceptional children are different in some significant ways from others of the same age. For these children to develop to their full adult potential, their education must be adapted to those differences.
    Although we focus on the needs of exceptional children, we find ourselves describing their environment as well. While the leading actor on the stage captures our attention, we are aware of the importance of the supporting players and the scenery of the play itself. Both the family and the society in which exceptional children live are often the key to their growth and development. And it is in the public schools that we find the full expression of society’s understanding—the knowledge, hopes, and fears that are passed on to the next generation.
    Education in any society is a mirror of that society. In that mirror we can see the strengths, the weaknesses, the hopes, the prejudices, and the central values of the culture itself. The great interest in exceptional children shown in public education over the past three decades indicates the strong feeling in our society that all citizens, whatever their special conditions, deserve the opportunity to fully develop their capabilities.
    "All men are created equal. " We’ve heard it many times, but it still has important meaning for education in America. Although the phrase was used by this country’s founders to denote equality before the law, it has also been interpreted to mean equality of opportunity. That concept implies educational opportunity for all children—the right of each child to receive help in learning to the limits of his or her capacity, whether that capacity be small or great. Recent court decisions have confirmed the right of all children—disabled or not—to an appropriate education, and have ordered that public schools take the necessary steps to provide that education. In response, schools are modifying their programs, adapting instruction to children who are exceptional, to those who can not profit substantially from regular programs.
The reason why exceptional children receive so much concern in education is that________.
选项 A、they are expected to be leaders of the society
B、they might become a burden of the society
C、they should fully develop their potentials
D、disabled children deserve special consideration
答案C
解析 细节理解题。根据第三段最后一句可知，在过去的三十年里，公共教育领域对特殊儿童的巨大的兴趣显示了我们的社会中这样一种强烈的感情：我们的公民，不管他们有多么特殊的情况，都应该享有全面发展他们的才能的机会。故选C。
