(单选题)

In the third paragraph, what the author wants to convey to us is that _______.

A.we have fought fewer wars but suffered heavier casualties

B.modern time is not so civilized compared with the past

C.our age is not much better than those of the past

D.World War I and World War II are different from previous wars

参考答案：C

参考解析：

推理判断题。根据第三段第三句“And while today it is true that people do not fight and kill each other in the streets －while, that is to say, we have got to the stage of keeping the rules and behaving properly to each other in daily life.”可知现在人们已经进入了制定规则并按照规则来做事情，不需要再通过打斗来实现目的的阶段。根据最后一句“nations and countries have not learnt to do this yet, and still behave like savages”现在不需要再像过去的野蛮人一样了。故选C。
