One winter morning I bought a copy of the New York World and turned its pages until I got The "Help Wanted Unskilled" section．A small advertisement held my   36 ．It read："Easy job．Good wages．No experience  37 ．"it sounded like the job I was   38  ．Easy job．Good Wages．Those four words  39  now and then in my brain as I was traveling to the address indicated in the   40 ．Easy job．Good wages．Easy job．Good Wages．Easy．．．

Why should I teach my children history? That sounds like a stupid question to even ask．But，as I hear different home schooling teachers discuss history，I get the idea that there may be different reasons for teaching history．Let me briefly explain the three good reasons for studying history and two bad reasons for studying history．

The major reason I see for studying history is that we can learn from the past．I believe that the world would be a much better place if more people understood the successes and failures of the past and the things that made these successes and failures．However，as the unfortunately(不幸地)true statement goes ‘‘the one thing we seem to learn from history is that we don't seem to

learn from history”，perhaps at least in teaching history, to my children I can do a small part in changing this．

    A second major reason for studying history is that it is hard to understand the current(目前的)political climate in the absence of an understanding of its historical context(背景)．We can not

even understand why we are and where we are without history，much less try to figure out where we are going or how we should get where we want to be．

    I teach my children history，for one more reason．I bought a set of historical audio tapes for our children．My seven-year-old son listened to them over and over．It was my hope that he would

become inspired by the accomplishments(成就)of people like the Wright brothers to accomplish things by himself．I think that it is good that we celebrate the accomplishments of people like Martin Luther King Jr. By doing so，young people are called on to stand for the principles that he stood for and accomplish what he didn’t accomplish．I also think that by studying people like Adolph Hitler，people can learn to stand against the things that he stood for．

1.What message can we get from the underlined sentence in Paragraph 2 ?

  A．Many people aren’t clever enough to learn well from the past．

  B．Many people fail to make good use of history and make the same mistakes．

  C．Many people feel it hard to understand history．

  D．Many people have no interest in studying history．

2.In Paragraph 3，the author shows that history is useful because

  A．it makes the current political situation go smoothly

  B．it helps us realize the importance of historical events

  C．it helps us understand why things are the way they are

  D．it helps people accept the present situation where they live

3.Some historical figures are mentioned in the last paragraph to show____．

  A．people can be inspired to do good and also learn to fight against evil

  B．people may also learn from bad historical figures

  C．more celebrations should be held to honor their achievements

  D．today’s people can also achieve what they achieved

4.What would be talked about in the following paragraph?

  A．How to teach history effectively．

  B．Some negative reasons for studying history．

  C．How to get more people to study history．

  D．Some bad historical figures．
