My dear boys and girls, good morning. Today I'm going to talk to you, about my understanding of learning history.

Many of you may think it is a terrible thing to study history. You may often wonder why we students should study something that has nothing to do with our own lives. If you think that way, I should say you are far from the truth.

In fact, if we study history, we can learn quite a lot about personal stories and events (事件)of people just like us. The people who came before us helped build and develop the country we are living in. Their ideas often solved many of our problems and troubles. Studying the past helps us to understand what our ancestors'(祖先)lives were like. And it also helps us to see how their experiences have shaped our own life.

To be honest, ▲ . Some of what we study in history helps us understand the mistakes of the past. And these mistakes will help people not to do the same wrong things. People often learn from the past to have a better future.

Whether we like the subject of history or not, we must understand the importance of the events and the people who came before us. Our ancestors' decisions have influenced our own life. Similarly, the decisions of our own generation(一代人）will finally influence those who come after us. In this only way, the world is truly connected.

History is not just a study of the past. History is the study of people, places, and events that can influence the future.

Now do you still think studying history is a sad thing? Or do you have any doubt about learning history? If you have any question, just feel free to ask.

1.What kind of writing is the passage above?

A.A diary. B.A story. C.A speech. D.A letter.

2.Which of the following can be put in the ▲ in Paragraph 4?

A.the mistakes of the past won't help us.

B.I don't like the idea of learning history

C.it is not easy to learn the subject of history

D.not everything that happened in the past is good

3.According to Paragraph 5, the decisions of our generation will ______________.

A.show what is happening to us B.build and develop our country

C.influence the people in the future D.help understand the people in the past

4.The writer wrote the passage to ___________________.

A.introduce some important people in history

B.develop students' interest in learning history

C.explain different people's understanding of history

D.show the relationship between the past and the future
