Question

阅读理解，请认真阅读下列短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

　　At the age of 22 Liu Lu is barely old enough to shave and may indeed still have peach fuzz on his face instead of whiskers but his youth has not prevented him from becoming the youngest professor in China．Last week Zhongnan University in the central Chinese city of Changsha appointed Liu to a professorship and also awarded him one million yuan in recognition for his solving a complicated math problem called the “Seetapun Enigma”．It's not unusual for young people such as Liu to do great things．Most great poetry and many great scientific and mathematical discoveries have leaped from the minds of young geniuses．We only have to think of the poetry of Byron the inventions of Edison and the theoretical breakthroughs of Einstein．

　　Unlike Liu however most geniuses have to wait a long time to receive the recognition and rewards of their achievements．So Liu's skyrocket to the top has ruffled some feathers in academia and on Weibo．The critics believe that a professorship should only be given after long years spent in the academic trenches writing research papers and teaching in classrooms．In other words professors should have to pay their dues．

　　For the most part though people have supported Liu's appointment．They believe that creativity innovation and individual genius should be encouraged in China．If China is to grow and prosper it needs young minds like Liu's．

　　But that raises another question：Is Liu a good role model? Liu was only a mediocre student in high school and university and as yet does not have a postgraduate degree．Will others see Liu's success as an excuse to ignore the traditional school system?

　　When we are young we all think that we are special; budding geniuses just waiting to flower．While it may be true that we are special not many of us are geniuses．For most of us the knowledge and discipline that we learn in school will be the basis for our success in later life．We should accept that but schools should also accept the “specialness” of individual students and do more to encourage students to develop that specialness．After all as Liu has shown having a little peach fuzz on your face doesn't mean you can't do great things．

(1)

What does the underlined sentence in Para．2 probably mean?
