4 . It is curious that Stephen Koziatek feels almost as though he has to justify his efforts to give his students a better future.Mr.Koziatek is part of something pioneering. He is a teacher at a New Hampshire high school where learning is not something of books and tests and mechanical memorization, but practical. When did it become accepted wisdom that students should be able to name the 13th president of the United States but be utterly overwhelmed by a broken bike chain？As Koziatek knows, there is learning in just about everything：Nothing is necessarily gained by forcing students to learn geometry at a graffiti desk stuck with generations of discarded chewing gum.They can also learn geometry by assembling a bicycle.But he's also found a kind of insidious prejudice. Working with your hands is seen as almost a mark of inferiority.Schools in the family of vocational education "have that stereotype...that it's for kids who can't make it academically, "he says.On one hand, that viewpoint is a logical product of America's evolution. Manufacturing is not the economic engine that it once was. The job security that the US economy once offered to high school graduates has largely evaporated. More education is the new principle. We want more for our kids, and rightfully so.But the headlong(轻率的)push into bachelor's degrees for all---and the subtle devaluing of anything less---misses an important point:That's not the only thing the American economy needs. Yes, a bachelor's degree opens more doors. But even now, 54 percent of the jobs in the country are middle-skill jobs, such as construction and high-skill manufacturing. But only 44 percent of workers are adequately trained.In other words, at a time when the working class has turned the country on its political head, frustrated that the opportunity that once defined America is vanishing, one obvious solution is staring us in the face. There is a gap in working-class jobs, but the workers who need those jobs most aren’t equipped to do them.Koziatek's Manchester School of Technology High School is trying to fill that gap. Koziatek's school is a wake-up call. When education becomes one-size-fits-all, it risks overlooking a nation's diversity of gifts.【小题1】A broken bike chain is mentioned to show students' lack of ________ .A．academic trainingB．practical abilityC．pioneering spiritD．mechanical memorization【小题2】There exists the prejudice that vocational education is for kids who ________ .A．have a stereotyped mindB．have no career motivationC．are financially disadvantagedD．are not academically successful【小题3】The headlong push into bachelor's degrees for all ________ .A．helps create a lot of middle-skill jobsB．may narrow the gap in working-class jobsC．indicates the overvaluing of higher educationD．is expected to yield a better-trained workforce【小题4】The author's attitude toward Koziatek's school can be described as ________ .A．tolerantB．cautiousC．supportiveD．disappointed
