推理判断题。根据文章的标题“Food Allergy and Special Dietary Needs (食物过敏与特殊饮食需求)”以及第一段中“Our District will have a School Nutrition Program which shall provide individualized menus or food preparations for students who are unable to have the meals normally served at our school as required by their individual education plan (IEP) or health plan. (我们区域将有一个学校营养计划，该计划将为无法按照个人教育计划（IEP）或健康计划的要求在我们学校正常提供膳食的学生提供个性化菜单或食物准备)”可知，这个计划将会为食物过敏与特殊饮食要求的学生，也就是学校无法正常为其提供膳食的学生，提供个性化的菜单，故选C。

推理判断题。根据文章第一段“Our District will have a School Nutrition Program which shall provide individualized menus or food preparations for students who are unable to have the meals normally served at our school as required by their individual education plan (IEP) or health plan. Read the following information carefully so that we are on the same page. (我们区域将有一个学校营养计划，该计划将为无法按照个人教育计划（IEP）或健康计划的要求在我们学校正常提供膳食的学生提供个性化菜单或食物准备。请仔细阅读以下信息，以便保持一致)”可知本文就是介绍了一个为过敏或有特殊饮食要求的学生提供个性化饮食计划的详细信息。既然是关于学生的计划，最主要的是要告知家长，让家长了解，才有助于计划实施。而且除了学校和地区的责任，还介绍了家长要做的事“PARENTAL ASSISTANCE”，所以本文可能是出现在“A guideline for parents (为父母准备的指南)”，故选B。
