8日考试 急需修改指点 谢谢
38 Learning about the past has no value for those of us living in the present. Do you agree or disagree? Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer.
学习历史对于我们今天没有价值,同意与否?
不同意。
1历史是经验和有用的信息提供给今天的人们: 科学家通过学习历史研究前进,考古学家学习历史了解世界以前
2通过历史可以了解自己的国家民族,定位自己
3一味强调历史会限制创新精神或无法认清现实
History has been an independent subject and boundary of academic researches for years, and controversy' arises from whether it is pragmatic for modern people to learn history. Most people claim that history has almost no value for present living and suggest that modern life is totally distinctive from lives from history recording. This idea is strongly opposed by numerous people who hold the opinion that history bequeaths us a substantial amount of fortune including experience, culture resources, it deserves laborious and serious study. From my perspective, my contention is placed on the latter one.
As I see it, there are two fundamental arguments for rendering my sympathy to learning history is practical and useful. The first is relevant to precious information and invaluable experience history gave us. According to this argument, I have to mention scientific research, since history study is an inevitable process for any science projects. For example, Copernicus, a prominent astronomy in the Middle century, generated the heliocentric idea from Aristarchus, an ancient Greece astronomy and mathematician 1700 years before Copernicus. The unique of Copernicus theory is that he proved the theory through astronomy observation and calculation; namely, the theory is tested in scientific method. Consequently, we may conclude that Copernicus's heliocentric theory combined of history with his work. It is not rare that in scientific research scientist utilize the previous research and ancient explanation in some ways, while the prerequisite is that we can excavate them from history memory.
Another reason yields to the identity of a person in a country or nation, whose features are decided by history. The invariable function of history relates to present people a vivid picture of nation culture background and a proceeding of a country's growing. Like China, Egypt, and India, we know them from the original history, civilization resources and versatile culture enable those countries remarkable and cryptic nations in ancient time. And all residents are proud of being as a generation of such a country. Furthermore, history offers us a discernable identity which explains our tradition, customs, and so forth. In China, from five thousand years ago, people have comprehended the spirit of Kongzi and modern culture in China still has embraced a sort of Kongzi elements. Like Mid-autumn day, we all know that day is honor of an ancient literature giant, whose story is household well-known. In accords with our social spirit, only return back to the history book can we discover answers for countless phenomena in modern society.
However, undue emphasis on history will undermine our innovation ability and become over-optimistic. The implication words of a country who always mark its valuable history may infer that we are not the most developed country today now but I owe the erudite culture and splendid history. And this self-satisfied idea will horribly devastate an animate country, that is, the innovation spirit. History informs us any country who disregard the capability of innovation will pay back. China comes into my mind immediately. China fall down since Qing Dynasty on account that the empire was never willing to accept new ideas and manufacture industry from western world; finally, the empire's dream broke up when western country invaded in capital city of Qing Dynasty. Conspicuously, future developing never ceases to see back to the history.
In sum, people should realize the critical sense of learning history. History exerts pragmatic effects for arts, science, politics, and social spirit, so history is a invaluable resource for education. But depending on the history, we should never cease to submerge by past, future deserves more working. |
