21、ed Horace Mann to work so hard to accomplish the important reforms in education. While he was still a boy, his father died, and he had to support his family. Like most of the children in his town, he attended school two or three months a year. Later, with the help of several teachers, he was able to
22、 study law and become a member of the Massachusetts bar, but he never forgot those early struggles. While serving in the 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 to become the first
23、 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 a substitute for the older district school system. Under his leadership, the curriculum was restructured, the school yea
24、r was increased to a minimum of six months, and mandatory schooling was extended to age sixteen. Other important reforms that came into existence under Manns guidance included the establishment of state normal schools for teacher training. Considered quite radical at the time, the Massachusetts refo
25、rms later served as a model for the nations educational system. Mann was formally recognized as the father of public education. During his lifetime, Horace Mann worked tirelessly to extend educational opportunities to agrarian families and the children of poor laborers. In one of his last speeches h

41、.$ 440.For some time past it has been widely accepted that babies and other creatures learn to do things because certain acts lead to “rewards“ , and there is no reason to doubt that this is true. But it used also to be widely believed that effective rewards, at least in the early stages, had to be
42、directly related to such basic physiological “ drives“ as thirst or hunger. In other words, a baby would learn if he got food or drink, some sort of physical comfort, not otherwise. It is now clear that this is not so. Babies will learn to behave in ways that produce results in the world with no rew
43、ard except the successful outcome. Papousek began his studies by using milk in the normal way to “ reward“ the babies and so teach them to carry out some simple movements, such as turning the head to one side or the other. Then he noticed that a baby who had had enough to drink would refuse the milk
44、 but would still go on making the learned response with clear signs of pleasure. So he began to study the childrens response in situation where no milk was provided. He quickly found that children as young as four months would learn to turn their heads to right or left if the movement “switched on“
45、a display of lights, and indeed that they were capable of learning quite complex turns to bring about this result, for instance, two left or two right, or even to make as many as three turns to one side. Papouseks light display was placed directly in front of the babies and he made the interesting o
46、bservation that sometimes they would turn back to watch the lights closely although they would “smile and bubble“ when the display came on. Papousek concluded that it was not primarily the sight of the lights that pleased them, it was the success they were achieving in solving the problem, in master
47、ing the skill, and that there exists a fundamental human urge to make sense of the world and bring it under intentional control. (分数:1.00)(1).According to the author, babies learn to do things which_.(分数:0.20)A.will lead to some rewardsB.will meet their physical needsC.will bring them a feeling of s
