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 father 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 36 to 43.
 During the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, almost nothing was written about the contribution of women during the colonial period and the early history of the newly formed United States. Lacking the right to vote and absent from the seats of power, women were not considered an important force in history. Anne Bradstreet wrote some significant poetry in the seventeenth century, Mercy Otis Warren produced the best contemporary history of the American Revolution, and Abigail Adams penned important letters showing she exercised great political influence over her husband, John, the second President of the United States. But little or no notice was taken of these contributions. During these centuries, women remained invisible in history books. 
 Throughout the nineteenth century, this lack of visibility continued, despite the efforts of female authors writing about women. These writers, like most of their male counterparts, were amateur historians. Their writings were celebratory in nature, and they were uncritical in their selection and use of sources.
 During the nineteenth century, however, certain feminists showed a keen sense of history by keeping records of activities in which women were engaged. National, regional, and local women’s organizations compiled accounts of their doings. Personal correspondence, newspaper clippings, and souvenirs were saved and stored. These sources form the core of the two greatest collections of women’s history in the United States – one at the Elizabeth and Arthur Schlesinger Library at Radcliffe College, and the other the Sophia Smith Collection at Smith College. Such sources have provided valuable materials for later generations of historians.
 Despite the gathering of more information about ordinary women during the nineteenth century, most of the writing about women conformed to the “great women” theory of history, just as much of mainstream American history concentrated on “great men”. To demonstrate that women were making significant contributions to American life, female authors singled out women leaders and wrote biographies, or else important women produced their autobiographies. Most of these leaders were involved in public life as reformers, activists working for women’s right to vote, or authors, and were not representative at all of the great mass of ordinary women. The lives of ordinary people continued, generally, to be untold in the American histories being published.
Question 36: What does the passage mainly discuss?
 A. The keen sense of history shown by American women.
 B. The “great women” approach to history used by American historians.
 C. The place of American women in written histories.
 D. The role of literature in early American histories.
Question 37: The word “contemporary” in the passage is closest in meaning to_______.
 A. temporary	 B. written at that time

Question 38: In the first paragraph, Bradstreet, Warren, and Adams are mentioned to show that _______.
 A. a woman’s status was changed by marriage
 B. poetry produced by women was more readily accepted than other writing by women
 C. only three women were able to get their writing published
 D. even the contributions of outstanding women were ignored
Question 39: The word “celebratory” in the passage means that the writings referred to were _______.
 A. religious	 B. serious	 C. related to parties	 D. full of praise
Question 40: The word “they” in the passage refers to_______.
 A. authors	 B. efforts	 C. counterparts	 D. sources
Question 41: In the second paragraph, what weakness in nineteenth-century histories does the author point out ?
 A. The sources of the information they were based on were not necessarily accurate.
 B. They left out discussion of the influence on money on politics.
 C. They were printed on poor quality paper.
 D. They put too much emphasis on daily activities.
Question 42: On the basis of information in the third paragraph, which of the following would most likely have been collected by nineteenth-century feminist organizations ?
 A. Newspaper accounts of presidential election results.
 B. Letters from a mother to a daughter advising her how to handle a family problem.
 C. Biographies of John Adams.
 D. Books about famous graduates of the country’s first college.
