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 so 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 con tribute to effective thinking and wise judgement. Such balance is defeated by too much emphasis on any one field. The question of balance involves not only the relation of the natural sciences, the social sciences, and the arts but also relative emphases 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 new possibilities in scientific fields and the discovery of new knowledge; these should not be allowed to turn our attention away from the sound, established materials that form the basis of courses for beginners.

选项 A、the current public school system is too complicated to be understood
B、the public school system has no choice of what to teach
C、it is difficult to decide whether elementary science should be taught in public schools
D、the educators have to take care of both ordinary and gifted students

答案D

解析 第1段开头讲教育若只选出有天赋的人就会简单许多,所以反过来理解,教育复杂是因为要兼顾天才和普通人,选D。
