问题     On June 17, 1744, the officials from Maryland and Virginia held a talk with the Indians of the Six Nations. The Indians were invited to send boys to William and Mary College. In a letter the next day they refused the offer as follows;
    We know that you have a high opinion of the kind of learning taught in your colleges, and that the costs of living of our young men, while with you, would be very expensive to you. We are convinced that you mean to do us good by your proposal; and we thank you heartily. But you must know that different nations have different ways of looking at things, and you will therefore not be offended if our ideas of this kind of education happen not to be the same as yours. We have had some experience of it. Several of our young people were formerly brought up at the colleges of the northern provinces: they were taught all your sciences; but, when they came back to us, they were bad runners, ignorant of every means of living in the woods...they were totally good for nothing.
    We are, however, not the less obliged by your kind offer, though we refuse to accept it; and, to show our grateful sense of it, if the gentlemen of Virginia will send us a dozen of their sons, we will take care of their education, teach them in all we know, and make men of them. [br] Different from the officials’ view of education, the Indians thought______.
选项 A、young women should also be educated
B、they had different goals of education
C、they taught different branches of science
D、they should teach the sons of the officials first
答案 B
解析 本题问的是印第安人的教育观与官方在什么方面不一样。从文章里可以看出，印第安人致力于把孩子培养成“真正的男子汉”，以适应丛林生活，而不是去修读那些“科学”和距离他们的生活很遥远的课程。他们在教育目标方面和官方观点不一样。因此B项是正确答案。
