Perhaps it was his own lack of adequate schooling that inspired Horace Mann to work so hard for the
important reforms in education that he accomplished. While he was still a boy, his father and older
brother died, and he became responsible for supporting his family. Like most of the children in his town,
he attended school only two or three months a year. Later, with the help of several teachers, he was able
to study law and became a member of the Massachusetts bar, but he never forgot those early struggles.
While serving in Massachusetts legislature, he signed a historic education bill that set up a state board of
education. Without regret, he gave up his successful legal practice and political career to become the first
secretary of the board. There he exercised an enormous influence during the critical period of
reconstruction that brought into existence the American graded elementary school as substitute for the
older distinct school system. Under his leadership, the curriculum was restructured, the school year was
increased to a minimum of six months, and mandatory schooling was extended to age sixteen. Other
important reforms included the establishment of state normal schools for teacher training, institutes for in-
service teacher education, and lyceums for adult education. He was also instrument in improving salaries
for teachers and creating school libraries.
Mann’s ideas about school reform were developed and distributed in twelve annual reports to the state of
Massachusetts that he wrote during his tenure as secretary of education. Considered quite radical at the
time, the Massachusetts reforms later served as a model for the nation. Mann was recognized as the farther of public education.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the
correct answer to each of the questions from 35 to 42.
Psychologists have debated a long time about whether a child’s upbringing can give it the ability to do
outstandingly well. Some think that it is impossible to develop genius and say that it is simply something
a person is born with. Others, however, argue that the potential for great achievement can be develop.
The truth lies somewhere between these two extremes.
It seems very obvious that being born with the right qualities from gifted parents will increase a child’s
ability to do well. However, this ability will be fully realized only with the right upbringing and
opportunities. As one psychologist says, “To have a fast car, you need both a good engine and fuel”.
Scientists have recently assessed intelligence, achievement, and ability in 50 sets of identical twins that
were separated shortly birth and brought up by different parents. They found that achievement was based
on intelligence, and later influenced by the child’s environment.
One case involving very intelligent twins was quoted. One of the twins received a normal upbringing, and
performed well. The other twin, however, was brought up by extremely supportive parents and given every
possible opportunity to develop its abilities. That twin, thought starting out with the same degree of
intelligence as the other, performed even better.
This case reflects the general principle of intelligence and ability. The more favorable the environment,
the more a child’s intelligence and ability are developed. However, there is no link between intelligence
and socioeconomic level of a child’s family. In other words, it does not matter how poor or how rich a
family is, as this does not affect the intelligence.
Gifted people cannot be created by supportive parents, but they can be developed by them. One professor
of music said that outstanding musicians usually started two or three years earlier than ordinary
performers, often because their parents had recognized their ability. These musicians then needed at least
ten years’ hard work and training in order to reach the level they were capable of attaining.
People who want to have very gifted children are given the following advice:  Marry an intelligent person. 
Allow children to follow their own interests rather than the interests of the parents. 
Start a child’s education early but avoid pushing the child too hard. 
Encourage children to play; for example, playing with musical instrument is essential for a child
who wants to become an outstanding musician.
