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:表示將來發(fā)生的動作或出現(xiàn)的狀態(tài),shall僅與第一人稱連用2. be going to do:表示主語計劃打算的行動或看來就要發(fā)生的事情3. be doing:表示計劃或安排好的動作（go, e, leave, begin 等動詞）4. be to do:表示客觀上計劃或安排好的動作5. be about to do:表示即將發(fā)生的動作,一般不帶時間副詞或短語6. do:表示與安排，計劃或時刻表有關的動作；或用于if, when等狀語從句中代替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. (討論將來某個時間點或時間段正在進行的動作)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.（表示不包含說話者主觀意愿的純粹將來。使用這種方式，我們想表達某件事會很自然地發(fā)生，說話者并不參與安排或計劃。）比較下列各句：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. (委婉地詢問對方的未來計劃，比用will do聽起來更有禮貌。)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(語法練習)： I. 用所給動詞的適當?shù)倪^去時或?qū)頃r的形式填充。1.
