Unit 5 Canada-“The True North” Ⅰ.阅读理解 [2017·东北三省三校高三二联] Alina Adams 12-year-old son，Gregory，is exceptionally good at computer programming，with talents beyond his young age. When he was 10，he was accepted into a well-known programming course at a university，but then told he was too young to attend.“So he got mad and built his own website where everyone can learn how to code，whatever age they are，” said Adams,46，who lives in New York.

A．whatever the cost is，she will fund Gregorys interest B．she wont fund her sons interest without limitation C．its impossible for
