At the beginning of the nineteenth century, the American educational system was
desperately in need of reform. Private schools existed, but only for the very rich. There
were very few public schools because of the strong sentiment that children who would
grow up to be laborers should not “waste” their time on education but should instead
prepare themselves for their life’s work. It was in the face of this public sentiment that
educational reformers set about their task. Horace Mann, probably the most famous of the
reformers, felt that there was no excuse in a republic for any citizen to be uneducated. As
Superintendent of Education in the state of Massachusetts from 1837 to 1848, he initiated
various changes, which were soon matched in other school districts around the country. He
extended the school year from five to six months and improved the quality of teachers by
instituting teacher education and raising teacher salaries. Although these changes did not
bring about a sudden improvement in the educational system, they at least increased public
awareness as to the need for a further strengthening of the system.

A. a high level of intelligence B. a strong educational background
C. a lot of money D. good grades

Americans because _______________.
A. education at the time was so cheap
B. people had nothing else to do except go to school
C. Massachusetts residents needed something to do with their spare time
D. all citizens should be educated in a republic

8. The word “reformers” in the passage mostly means _______________.
A. people who work for the government
B. people who really enjoy teaching
C. people who try to change things for the better
D. people who believe that education is wasted
9. From 1837 to 1848, Horace Mann _______________.
A. worked as a headmaster in a school in the state of Massachusetts
B. raised money for the educational development in Massachusetts
C. funded many projects to improve the educational system for Americans
D. managed education in the state of Massachusetts

themselves in their daily life. The robot hears the sound of its owner’s voice. It follows
instructions such as “Turn the page” or “make a cup of coffee”.
