23、a common tradition in middle-class families to reward top grades with cash as a way to teach that success in school leads to success in life.可知,现在的学校普遍喜欢用物质奖励来鼓励学生好好学习,因此B项中提到的“将学生的成绩和物质奖励联系起来”符合文意。2.C推理判断题。由第二段第一句 No one knows for sure how well cash and other big-ticket rewards work in education in
