[单项选择]My grandfather lived only half a mile away from where I grew up in New York. Every day, he would walk down to our house and bring my dad newspapers. Along with the papers he would bring a small bag of treats for my two brothers and me.
Western NY had terrible winter weather: rain, sleet, or even 3 feet of snow. Even when he was 81, he still walked the half mile every single day.

Students must be incorporated, made, so far as possible, an integral part of the learning process. The notion that learning should have in it an element of inspired play would seem to the greater part of the academic establishment merely silly, but that is nonetheless the case.

A. it draws the close attention of the students
B. it conforms in a way to the design of the Creator
C. it helps students to comprehend abstract theories more easily
D. it presents course content in a scientific and objective manner
