问题     I was raised speaking English, but I also spoke Spanish at home. When I went to school for the first time, I was enrolled in ESL classes—classes for English as a Second Language. I was also put into the Limited English Proficiency Program. In all these classes, I always got the highest grades. I was the best reader and speaker. There was no reason for me to be in any of those classes.
    When my parents discovered that I was ha those classes instead of in regular classes with other English-speaking students, they went to the school administration to complain about the discrimination. The school had nothing to say. My parents tried to get me out of the ESI classes, but the school fought very hard to keep me there. And then we found out why—for every student the school had in the ESI. and the Limited English Proficiency Program, they would receive $ 400. This was pretty devastating (令人震惊的). The school’s only excuse for keeping me there was that I lived in a Spanish-speaking household, and that I ’was influenced by the way my parents spoke. My parents were outraged, but I remained in the ESL and the Limited English Proficiency Program until I was in the fifth grade.
    Then my parents transferred me to another school where they had friends. The new school gave me an English proficiency test. I aced (考得好，写得好) it. So I didn’t have to attend those programs for non-native English speakers. I was finally on the right track and back at the head of the class. The first school I had attended would have never let me out of those programs or even let me take the test. I was too "Spanish" for them.
What was the author’s feeling when he described his first school?
选项 A、He remembered a sympathetic school administration.
B、He was made to feel welcome because he spoke Spanish.
C、He felt that the school cared more about money than about pupils’ welfare.
D、He was grateful that the school took such a keen interest in his progress.
答案C
解析 在文中最后一段中，作者说The first school I had attended would have never let me out of those programs or even let me take the test. I was too "Spanish" for them. (第一个学校肯定得让我上那些课程而且也不会让我参加考试的，因为对于他们而言我太“西班牙”了。)由此我们推测出作者认为第一个学校的做法非常不对，再结合本文第二段可知作者认为第一个学校太看重金钱而不为学生着想。
