Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or B on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 30 to 34.
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 Manager 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.

Dịch bài:
Vào đầu thế kỷ XIX, hệ thống giáo dục Mỹ rất cần cải cách. Các trường tư thục tồn tại, nhưng chỉ dành cho những người giàu có. Có rất ít trường công lập vì ý kiến mạnh mẽ rằng những đứa trẻ lớn lên để trở thành những người lao động không nên "lãng phí" thời gian học hành mà nên chuẩn bị cho công việc cuộc sống của mình. Đối mặt với lập trường này của công chúng, các nhà cải cách giáo dục đặt ra cho nhiệm vụ của mình. Horace Mann, có lẽ là người nổi tiếng nhất trong số các nhà cải cách, cảm thấy rằng không có lời bào chữa nào trong một nước cộng hòa cho việc công dân phải thất học. Là Quản lý Giáo dục ở tiểu bang Massachusetts từ năm 1837 đến năm 1848, ông đã khởi xướng nhiều sự đổi mới khác nhau, mà sớm được làm cho phù hợp với các học khu khác trên khắp đất nước. Ông kéo dài năm học từ năm đến sáu tháng và nâng cao chất lượng giáo viên bằng cách đặt ra hệ thống giáo dục sư phạm và tăng lương cho giáo viên. Mặc dù những thay đổi này không mang lại sự cải thiện đột biến trong hệ thống giáo dục nhưng ít nhất chúng cũng nâng cao nhận thức của công chúng về nhu cầu cải thiện hệ thống giáo dục.
