单选题 回答题
　　Why should Native American students be allowed to have specially adapted educational programs, and what is so different about their learning motivation, compared to that of the Anglo majority?
　　Native American students, whether young or old, learn by applying principles and skills to their daily lives． In order for these students to learn a skill, or subject, they must first understand how it relates to their everyday life,and how it can help them to stay upon a strong spiritual path． Learning for Native American students, is not motivated by better grades, or awards, but by the success that it will afford them in future, so when learning environment do not address, or even take into consideration, the cultural, and spiritual differences of the Native
American students, future success in life becomes an elusive and unattainable goal． Educational programs for Native American students need to be practical, applicable, and culturally based． The Native American population's educational motivation, as a whole, is more focused on the future utilization of lessons and skills learned,
and the benefit that will be given back to the Native American community． As each individual succeeds educationally, they become a model for others, and give hope that the Native American way of life will continue．
　　Unlike the majority of Anglo children, for which our current academic models were forged, Native American children suffer from cultural exclusion and identity crises, racism, poverty and isolation, poor role models, familial instability and abuse, poor mental, physical, and emotional bealth, as well as anonymity． Native American students, primarily those in grades K-12, can be categorized as dangerously "at risk"． The cultural hurdles, compounded by those thrown at them educationally, cause many Native American students to drop out, abuse drugs and alcohol, and/or commit crimes to medicate and alleviate their inability to cope with seemingly insurmountable obstacles．
　　Native American youths have long been at a disadvantage, with regard to post-secondary education, primarily because if a youth does succeed in graduating high school, it is usually by attending a non-Native 　　American program． This limits their ability to interact and succeed in an atmosphere whose predominant cultural alignment is white． While Tuba City High School, which addresses rural, reservation, and isolated students, has been quite successful in raising test scores, graduating more students, keeping substance abuse and teen pregnancy low, it has not provided the Native American youth an opportunity to leam and interact with the white culture that surrounds them． But what of the urban Native American students? What can we do for them?
　　We can make room for alternative programs specifically designed for the Native American students--programs that will address the need to acclimate these students to urban life and white culture gradually, so that they can develop the skills and education necessary to succeed in a diverse and alien culture．
　　It cannot be stressed enough, that the first, and most important, skill that we must impart to the Native American students is how to live and exist in a foreign culture, while maintaining a solid identity with their own．We must stop trying to fit the Native American youth into the cultural mold of white society, and allow them to live and learn according to their own culturally specific applications and values, and prepare for academic and personal life beyond the reservation．

We can learn from paragraph 2 that for Native American students

A．everyone has to learn skills useful to their daily lives
B．learning is motivated by scores and awards
C．success is the only motivation for their learning
D．the current educational programs are quite practical and applicable
