Reading prehensionThere are some very good things about open education. This way of teaching allows the students to grow as people, and to develop their own interests in many subjects. Open education allows students to be responsible for their own education, as they are responsible for what they do in life. Some students do badly in a traditional classroom. The open classroom may allow them to enjoy learning. Some students will be happier in an open education school. They will not have to worry about grades or rules. For students who worry about these things a lot, it is a good idea to be in an open classroom.But many students will not do well in an open classroom. For some students, there are too few rules. These students will do little in school. They will not make good use of open education. Because open education is so different from traditional education, these students may have a problem getting used to making so many choices. For many students it is important to have some rules in the classroom. They worry about the rules even when there are no rules. Even a few rules will help this kind of students. The last point about open education is that some traditional teachers do not like it. Many teachers do not believe in open education. Teachers who want to have an open classroom may have many problems at their schools.You now know what open education is. Some of its good points and bad points have been explained. You may have your own opinion about open education. The writer thinks that open education is a good idea, but only in theory. In actual fact, it may not work very well in a real class or school.

Part C on page 114 in the Workbook.2. Prepare Grammar and usage. Grammar and usage Step 1: General introduction and explanation to past and future tense Past tenseI. The simple past tense:It is often used to talk about something that happened in the past and is now finished.e.g. She worked late into night yesterday.II. The past continuous tense:The tense is to talk about something that happened in the past and continued for some time.e.g. She knew that as a famous dancer she was making her parents proud in those years.III. The past perfect tense:1. The past perfect tense is often used with the simple past tense. If one action happens before another in the past, the past perfect tense is used.e.g. Upon entering the tomb, Carters lucky pet bird , which had led him to the place, was eaten by a snake.2. The past perfect tense is sometimes used in reported speeche.g. “We emptied the tomb of everything it contained,” said Carter. Carter said that they had emptied the tomb of everything it contained.3. The use of the past perfect tense simply indicates that an action es before another past action, used with time expressions such as when, after, before, as soon as, until, by, for and alreadye.g. I had done my homework this morning before I went to the museum. Future tenseI. The form and usage of the simple future tense：1. will/shall do:表示将来发生的动作或出现的状态,shall仅与第一人称连用2. be going to do:表示主语计划打算的行动或看来就要发生的事情3. be doing:表示计划或安排好的动作（go, e, leave, begin 等动词）4. be to do:表示客观上计划或安排好的动作5. be about to do:表示即将发生的动作,一般不带时间副词或短语6. do:表示与安排，计划或时刻表有关的动作；或用于if, when等状语从句中代替will do.II. The usage of the future continuous tense:1. Talk about something that will be in progress at a certain time or over a period of time in the future. (讨论将来某个时间点或时间段正在进行的动作)e.g. Toby will not be in London next Tuesday. He will be climbing in the Himalayas.Toby will be climbing in the Himalayas all next week.2. Express future without intention. When it is used in this way, we want to indicate that something will happen naturally. It doesnt imply that the speaker has arranged the action.（表示不包含说话者主观意愿的纯粹将来。使用这种方式，我们想表达某件事会很自然地发生，说话者并不参与安排或计划。）比较下列各句：e.g. Tom wont cut the grass.（Tom refuses to cut the grass.）Tom wont be cutting the grass.（The sentence is only a statement of fact, giving no information about Toms intention. Perhaps Tom is away, or ill, or will be doing some other job.）3. Make polite enquiries about other peoples future plans. (委婉地询问对方的未来计划，比用will do听起来更有礼貌。)e.g. What will you be doing tomorrow?Will you be working all day?III. The usage of the future in the past is to talk about an event which was in the future at the time when it was discussed.Eg.Before she came here, she said she was going to beat others in the game.Step 2: Practice(语法练习)： I. 用所给动词的适当的过去时或将来时的形式填充。1.
