问题    Americans who remember "the good old days" are not alone in complaining about the educational system in this country. Immigrants (移民) complain, too.  Lately a German friend was filled with anger when he learned that the mathematics test given to his son on his first day as a college freshman included multiplication and division. Japanese businessmen in Los Angeles send their children to private schools staffed by teacher imported from Japan to learn mathematics at Japanese levels, generally considered at least a year more advanced than the level here.
   But I wonder: If American education is so poor, why is it that this is still the country of innovation (创新) ?
   When I was 12 in Indonesia, I had ko memorize the names of all the world’s major cities, from Kabul to Karachi. At the same age, my son, who was brought up a Californian, thought that Buenos Aires was Spanish for good food. However, unlike children of his age in Asia and Europe, my son had studied creative geography. When he was only 6, he drew a map of the route that he traveled to get to school, including the streets, the traffic signs and the houses that he passed.
   Dissatisfied American parents forget that in this country their children are able to experiment freely with ideas; without this they will not really be able to think Or to believe in themselves.
   Critics of American education cannot grasp one thing: freedom. America, I think, is the only country that extends even to children the license to freely speak, write and be creative. Our public education certainly is not perfect, but it is a great deal better than any other. I think I have found the answer to my question.
What would be the best title for this passage?

选项 A、American education and education in foreign countries
B、Improvement needed for American education
C、Freedom to thin characteristic of American education
D、Education and innovation in America

答案C

解析 本题考查全文的中心思想,因此抓住作者的根本观点至关重要。作者认为美国的教育并不像有些人抱怨的那样糟糕,因为它注重培养孩子自由思考的能力。所以最好的标题应为:“自由思考  —一美国教育的特点”。
