[单项选择]There can be few who would knowingly eon done waste, whether of energy, of manpower or of financial assets. So why does our educational system make so little provision for those who, given the opportunity, could best help society achieve its objectives and expand its horizons
Support programmes have long been established for children with learning difficulties and under-achievers. People argue that the resources are inadequate to meet the existing need and that greater efforts must be made, but at least the problem is being faced.
At the opposite end of the ability scale is a group of children which one would logically expect to offer the greatest challenge and yield the greatest rewards, both for the children themselves and for society as a whole. Sadly, special provisions in this area are few and far between.

[单项选择]There can be few more depressing stories in the entire history of man’s exploitation of nature than the destruction of the unfortunate great whales. The whales have not only suffered untold cruelty but now face total extermination (灭绝). Already entire populations have been wiped out, and the only reason why no species has yet been finished off is due to the vastness and inaccessibility (难到达) of the oceans; a pocket or two somewhere has always managed to escape. How ironic if biological extinction were to complete the job.
The basic rule of extinction is very simple: it occurs when a species mortality is continually greater than its recruitment. There are though, some very special additional factors in the case of whales.
Man does not actually have to kill the last whales of a species with his own hands, as it were, to cause its disappearance. Biological extinction will quickly follow the end of commercial whaling, should that end be due to a shortage of raw material, i.e. of
A. people’s growing awareness of the balance between ecology and business
B. their theory which has been derived from life experiences
C. a flexible biological system in which all species survive
D. the change of balance between market need and the amount of whales
