issue120. "So much is new and complex today that looking back for an understanding of the past provides little guidance for living in the present."

观点：基本反对。与过去相比，现在的生活是更加新潮与复杂，但是回忆理解过去对我们当今的生活还是很有启示的。
提纲：
1.与以往相比，承认当今的生活更加新潮和复杂：

(a). 科技的更新革命使得人们的生活节奏加快

(b). 经济、文化的全球化使得人们的观念产生了改变
2.但是，由于过去和现在，现在和将来都是紧密地联系在一起的，因此了解过去对人们当下的生活有益：

(a). 对于生活在高节奏下的现代居民，当碰到挫折和失望的时候，一张照片、一段旋律有可能让人回忆起过去的往事，带给人喜悦和快乐

(b). 虽然当今的环境已然和原来不同，但是过去的事情能够让人过多的了解那个特殊年代的环境下的人和事，从历史中获得智慧和勇气，使得当今的我们遇到困难时能够迎难而上。

(c). 对过去的深入了解是人们反思自己的生活，可以教会人们懂得珍惜生活，更好的把握好当下，创造美好的未来。
3.让步：但是也不能一味的沉迷于过去的往事之中，哀悼伤感，裹足不前。

As a result of industry revolution and technology innovation, so much is new and complex today compared with things in the past. The speaker asserts that looking back for an understanding of the past provides little guidance for living in the present. Instead, I share the belief that taking a look at the past things will be beneficial, instead of useless, for our living at present.

Without question, the blooming development of industry and technology has changed the circumstances where people live, as well as their ideas. Automobiles and planes make traveling with long distance and short time possible; kinds of inventions like typewriters vacuum cleaners liberate people from the trivia; mobile phones and internet link those who live in both sides of Pacific Ocean together. All these make people's life easier and convenient than ever before. Besides great changes brought about by the new inventions, people's novel ideas, which are stemmed from the globalization, have influenced present life as well. Globalization plays an important role in changing people's daily life. In the office, one may cooperate with people from all over the world, which means he or she must take the diversities of cultures into consideration when making new decisions, maybe from which the speaker's assertion that the past provides little guidance for the present comes.

However, since past, present and the future serially go one after another, separating any of them seems unwise at all. The past provides guidance for the present, in the say way that does for the future. For one thing, looking back at the past timely comforts us when we are knuckled to the reality of present life-too fast pace and lonely minds. An old photo or a piece of familiar melody may remind us of joys and sorrows, and the precious memory may enlighten us to lead a happier life. Moreover, when confronted with difficulties, we may find the possible solutions, or at least, gain courage to overcome them by thinking back to the past issues. As the famous writer Bacon pointed out, "History makes a wise man." The past experience serves as the Pierian Spring, offering us wisdom and intelligence. In addition, by reflecting on our life past to know what we have lost and possess, we can learn how to lead a life for a better future.

Admittedly, merely pursuing for comfort and experience from the reminiscence brings no good for the present life. Instead, excess lost in the past lead to sentimental and sadness all the time, which seems abject and ignorable. And too much dependence on the experience limits our creativity, hampering the progress of society. In short, we should never go to extremes when searching for an understanding of the past.

In sum, even though things appear to be so new and complex today, it is necessary for us to dig our past for cure of our lonely mind, to search for answers to the present rubs, and to understand what we should do for the sake of a better future.

Without question, the blooming development of industry and technology has changed the circumstances where people live, as well as their ideas. Automobiles and planes make traveling with(between) long distance and(in) short time possible; kinds of inventions like typewriters (and) vacuum cleaners liberate people from the trivia; mobile phones and internet link those who live in both(oppsite) sides of Pacific Ocean together. All these make people's life easier and (more) convenient than ever before. Besides great changes brought about by the new inventions, people's novel ideas, which are stemmed(stems) from the globalization, have influenced present life as well. Globalization plays an important role in changing people's daily life. In the office, one may cooperate with people from all over the world, which means he or she must take the diversities of cultures into consideration when making new decisions, maybe from which the speaker's assertion that the past provides little guidance for the present comes.(定从可以定两次吗？)(这段再压一点比较好，重心后移一点)

However, since past, present and the future serially go one after another, separating any of them seems unwise at all. The past provides guidance for the present, in the say(same) way that does for the future.For one thing, looking back at the past timely comforts us when we are knuckled(疑是pushed) to the reality of present life---(破折号三条线)too fast pace and lonely minds. An old photo or a piece of familiar melody may remind us of joys and sorrows, and the precious memory may enlighten us to lead a happier life.(enlighten us to lead a happier life?) Moreover, when confronted with difficulties, we may find the possible solutions, or at least, gain courage to overcome them by thinking back to(?) the past issues. As the famous writer Bacon pointed out, "History makes a wise man." The past experience serves as the Pierian Spring, offering us wisdom and intelligence. In addition, by reflecting on our life past(past life) to know what we have lost and possess, we can learn how to lead a life for a better future.

Admittedly, merely pursuing for comfort and experience from the reminiscence brings no good for the present life. Instead, excess lost in the past lead to sentimental(frail emotion) and sadness all the time, which seems abject and ignorable. And too much dependence on the experience limits our creativity, hampering the progress of society. In short, we should never go to extremes when searching for an understanding of the past.

In sum, even though things appear to be so new and complex today, it is necessary for us to dig our past for cure(?) of our lonely mind, to search for answers to the present rubs, and to understand what we should do for the sake of a better future.
