问题     Education has a very honored place in American society and, with some exceptions among the wealthy, parents of every kind of background and of all income groups send their children to the local high schools. It is an article of faith in the American dream that a good education will enable a child to achieve a higher standard of living than his or her parents. High schools are public schools in the proper sense of the word(not to be confused with English "public schools" which are private and expensive).
    People have a high opinion of American high school. This is because the high schools take their responsibilities very seriously—and not only in the classroom. They have guidance-adviser to whom children can go privately if they have any special problems, especially about their professions. Parents are encouraged to share in the school life of their children. In some lower grade classes they actually go into the class during a lesson and help the teachers with plays and classroom reading, and most schools have highly successful Parent-Teacher Associations.
    Teachers and parents get together and discuss their children’s problems. John has made no progress at all during the last term. Because the teacher suspects he is in love with a girl in the same class who has rejected him, while Betty seems to be just lazy. The parents claim that she has no self-confidence and this makes her appear bored! Between them, parents and the teacher work out a plan of action.
According to the passage, American high schools are most probably set up by______.

选项 A、the government
B、individual supporters
C、ordinary people
D、parents of future students

答案A
