[单选题]What can we conclude from this passage?
回答下面的题目Two hundred years ago, American students went to American schools． Like you, they studied arithmetic, spelling and geography． Unlike you, they also studied Greek and Latin． In fact, students spent more than half their time studying Greek and Latin．The same was true for most students in Europe． Until the seventh century, all educated Europeans knew Latin． It did not matter if they lived in England or Italy or France or Spain． If they were educated, they knew Latin．During the seventh century, educated Europeans began to study Greek as well as Latin． Greek and Latin had been the leading languages of the ancient Greeks and Romans． All educated Europeans were expected to know these languages．To educated Europeans, the languages of the Greeks and the Romans were important． The ideas of the Greeks and Romans were also important． People knew that many of their own ideas had come from the Greeks and the Romans． To understand their own culture, they must understand its origin． They knew that those beginnings lay in the classical world．Today we have so many things to study that few people have time to learn Greek and Latin． Few of you will study either language in school． Yet the ideas of the Greeks and the Romans are still important to us． These ideas still help to shape Western culture today． To understand our own culture, we must understand the culture of the classical world．A good synonym for "origin" is________
A. Greeks and Romans significantly influenced European culture．
B. The Greeks were the founders of democracy．
C. The Greeks and Romans were bitter enemies．
D. People of the classical world were barbaric and uneducated．
Sequoyah was a young Cherokee Indian．son of a white trader and an Indian Squaw(北美印第安女人)．At an early age，he became fascinated by“tile talking leaf”，an expression thathe used to describe the white man’s written records．Although many believe this"talking leaf”to be a gift from tile Great Spirit，Sequoyah refused to accept that theory．Like other Indians oftile period，he was illiterate，but his determination to remedy tile situation led to the inventionof a unique 86 character alphabet based on the sound patterns that he heard． His family and friends thought him mad，but while recuperating(恢复)from a huntingaccident．he diligently and independently set out to create a form of communication for his ownpeople as well as for other Indians．In l821，after twelve years of work，he had successfully de。veloped a written language that would enable thousands of Indians to read and write． Sequoyah’s desire to preserve words and events for later generation has caused him to be remembered among the important inventors．The giant redwood trees of-California，called“se-quoias(红杉)”in his honor，will further imprint his name in history． 根据以上内容，回答下面的题目。What is the most important reason that Sequoyah wiU be remeIll]bered?
