Today many people are concerned about improving classroom instruction. In the opinion of some people, open
education will provide a solution to the problems. By contrast, critics of open education are sure it spells disaster in the classroom. Let us investigate this controversial subject and see what kind of judgment we can make.
Open education differs from traditional education in two major areas: how the teacher relates to the students, and how the teacher manages the classroom. These two aspects are closely related in that the teacher’s management of the classroom depends very much on how the teacher views the maturity of the students.
In traditional education, the teacher may feel that the students are not very grown up. Usually teachers are older than their students and thus teachers feel that because their students are younger and less experienced, their students do not know very much about the world. The teachers feel that they must tell the students what to do most of the time, and they feel obliged to make the students study specific things. By contrast, in open education, the teachers believe that the students are individuals first and students second. They expect the students to be responsible for the things that they do, just as adults are. The teachers believe that a student’s ideas and feelings are just as important as the teacher’s. Thus teachers in open education allow their students to decide what they want to do rather than require them to study specific subjects or to undergo a specific sequence of study. The teacher lets the student decide what to study and how much to study. It is very important for the teachers to show confidence in the student’s ability to make appropriate decisions for himself or herself.
Classroom management depends, then, on how the teacher feels about the student’s ability to make correct decisions. In the traditional classroom, the students are told what to do and when to do it. There is a list of things that the students must do to finish the class. The rules are made by the teacher, and the students must follow them even if they see no reason for the rules. By contrast, in open education, the teacher allows the individual students to choose what they will do at any given moment. Students do what interests them: they may study or talk, or do nothing at all, if they want to. There are no specific tasks the students must accomplish and no time limits either. Furthermore, there are no traditional rules made by the teacher. The only rules in an open classroom are rules concerning everyone’s safety. The students are allowed to discover subjects in the open classroom instead of being made to study them. We can really see that open education is a relatively complex idea.
Obviously there are some very good things about open education. This method of teaching allows the students to grow as people and to develop their own interests in many subjects. But many students will not do well in an open classroom. Some students encounter difficulty in adjusting to a classroom where there are too few rules. Without a ready-made structure, these students will do little or no work such students have a problem making choices for they simply because there are so many options available. Many students want rules in the classroom and tend to worry about the rules even when there are no rules. They feel helpless without an authority figure standing over them telling them what to do, how to do it, and when it must be done.
In theory, open education sounds very exciting. It would be wonderful to observe a classroom of students busily engaged in studying subjects of their own choosing, pursuing new subjects as the need arose, discussing their projects with one another or with their teacher who serves primarily as a resource person and helper. On the other hand, in contrast with a traditional classroom, the open classroom might appear chaotic with students moving about and perhaps holding noisy conversations that might interfere with another student’s concentration or still another student’s nap. Also it would be difficult to measure a student’s progress in any meaningful way.
Perhaps it is possible to adapt some of the ideas of an open education to a traditional classroom. Depending on the student’s need for rules, the teacher could provide a flexible schedule of activities, providing more structure for those students who work better in a structured atmosphere and less structure for students who can work independently. The teacher can also modify his or her behavior toward individual students, gradually encouraging the more dependent students to seek independence and to begin to take more responsibility for their own learning.

Passage 1
Finding a good work-at-home job is not easy. Although you see all the online advertising, there aren’t that many of them. Those that are available may require that you live in a certain area or spend at least some time in the office. Others may be only part-time jobs.
Keep in mind that the skills needed for home employment are similar to those needed for working in an office. You’ll also need a home office with a high speed internet connection, phone, fax, computer, printer, and other basic office equipment.
To get started, consider your job search as your job. Spend as many hours per week on your job search as you would spend working. If you’re looking for full-time work, you should be spending full-time hours seeking a job.
Networking (人际联系) remains the top way to find a job and it does work. Develop contacts—friends, family, even the other job seekers—anyone who might have the information you need. You can take a direct approach and ask for job information or try a less formal approach and ask for information and advice. Contact everyone you know and tell them you want to work from home. You may be surprised by the people they know and the job information they can provide.

Passage 2
The three main types of secondary education in the United States have been provided by the Latin grammar school, the academy, and the public high school. The first of these was a colonial institution. It began in New England with the establishment in 1635 of the Boston Free Latin School. The curriculum(课程) consisted mainly of the classical languages, and the purpose of this kind of school was the preparation of boys for college, where most of them would be fitted for the ministry.
The academy began in the early 1750’s with Benjamin Franklin’s school in Philadelphia, which later became the University of Pennsylvania. It extended generally to about the middle nineteenth century, except in the southern states where the public high school was late in developing and where the academy continued to be a principal means of secondary education even after 1900.The academy was open to girls as well as to boys, and it provided a wider curriculum than what the Latin grammar school had furnished. It was designed not only as a preparation for college but also for practical life in commercial and business activities. Although its wide educational values are evident and are recognized as important contributions to secondary education in this country, the academy has never been considered a public institution as the public high school has come to be.
The public high school had its origin in Massachusetts in 1821 when the English Classical School was established in Boston. In 1827,the state enacted(制定)the first statewide public highschool law in the United States. By 1840, there were perhaps a dozen public high schools in Massachusetts and many in other eastern states by 1850, they could also be found in many other states. Just as the curriculum of the academy grew out of that of the Latin grammar school, the curriculum of the public high school developed out of that of the academy. The public high school in the United States is a repudiation(推翻) of the aristocratic(贵族的)and selective principle of the European educational tradition. Since 1890,enrollments( 入学)in secondary schools, mainly public high schools, have practically doubled in this country every ten years.
6. According to the passage, which of the following sequences indicates the order in which the schools developed? A) Latin grammar school, public high school, academy. B) Latin grammar school, academy, public high school. C) Public high school, Latin grammar school, academy. D) Public high school, academy, Latin grammar school.
7. It is the opinion of the author that the academy, compared with the public high school, was ____.
A) obviously academically better B) more discriminatory in student selection C) coeducational D) not generally considered as a public institution 8. The year 1827 marks the ____.
A) enactment of the first statewide public high school law B) founding of the Latin Grammar School in Boston
C) establishment of the English classical School in Boston
D) year when Massachusetts made free public education compulsory after the eighth grade 9. One can probably infer from his article that “Latin grammar school” refers to ____.
A) the Boston Free Latin School
B) all the elementary schools in the United States
C) schools which taught Latin, exclusive of all other subjects D) a number of schools which developed in New England 10. It is implied but not stated in the passage that ____.
