解析:本题要求考生在通读第四段的基础上进行判断。由第四段第二句“The establishment of secular education began during the 18th century(世俗教育机构建立于18世纪)”可知，世俗教育出现于法案颁布之前，所以，选项B错误。由第四段最后一句“Around the year of 1900，the introduction of graduate oducation…(1900年左右，研究生教育的引入…)”可知，研究生教育引进在法案颁布之后，所以，选项C错误。由第四段第三句“That Act created in-stitufions serving agriculture and industries；academia was no longer just for the wealthy but charged with providing educational opportu-nities to the working class as well．(该法创立了为农业和工业服务的机构；学术不再只是为富人而设，也被要求为工人阶级提供教育机会。)”可知，法案导致了教育向工人阶级普及，所以，选项A正确。选项D在第四段没有提到。所以，本题选择A。

单选题根据下面资料，回答题
Now the politics of US health reform is in a mess but the odds on a bill passing in the end are improving. It will not be a tidy thing, but if it moves the country close to universal health insur-ance the administration will call it a success.
At this moment, that pointof view may seem too optimistic. Last Friday, the Democratic leadership in the House of Representatives had hoped to produce a finished bill. But they failed,because the party´ s fiscal conservatives demanded further savings. House Democrats are also divid-ed on revenue-raising measures.
The Senate is dealing with the same problems : how to contain the cost of expanded insurance coverage, and how to pay for what remains, so that the reform adds nothing to the budget deficit o-ver the course of 10 years.
Where the money comes from remains the crucial problem. Apparently, the answer is straight-forward: tax employer-provided health benefits. At present, an employer in the U. S. is free from paying tax if he pays the health insurance while an individual purchaser has to buy it with after-tax dollars. This anomaly costs nearly $ 250bn a year inevenue--enough to pay for universal cover-age, and then some. Yet many Democrats in both the House and the Senate oppose to ending it.
Will there be a breakthrough in terms of that aspect?
However, to get employers out of health insurance should be an aim, not something to be feared. Many us workers have complained that if they lose their job, their health insurance will go with it and tying insurance to employment will undoubtedly worsen the insecurity.
What about high-risk workers who are thrown on to the individual market? If the tax break were abolished as part of a larger reform which obliges insurers to offer affordable coverage to all people regardless of pre-existing conditions, it will not be a problem. It´ s tree this change needs to increase tax, and many people in Congress are reluctant to contemplate in any form. But some kind of increase is inescapable. This one makes more sense than most.
The President should say so. His Republican opponent John McCain called for this change during the election campaign and Mr Obama and other Democrats assailed the idea. So what? Mr.
Obama has changed his ideas on Other aspects of health reform. For example, it seems that he now prefers an individual mandate to buy insurance. Let us see a similar flexibility on taxing employer-provided insurance.
According to the author，__________．

A．the politics of U．S．health reform is a total failure
B．there is no possibility of passing a bill
C．it’s difficult to pass a bill
D．U．S．will achieve universal health insurance
