问题     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(children who do not go to school when they should)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the grant if they bring a target number of children back to school; if they do not meet the target, the grant is withdrawn.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.
The Ministry of Education will take away a school’s grant if______.

选项 A、they meet their targets
B、children escape from school
C、they do not reach their objectives
D、they failed to persuaded truants’ parents

答案C

解析 第三段。英国的教育部采用奖罚政策促使更多的儿童返回学校。Sticks and carrots有奖有罚、软硬兼施。其政策规定,如果学校能够使一定数量的学生返回学校,这个学校会得到一笔拨款;如果返校学生的数量没有达到规定的数额,拨款取消。选项C是正确的。
