History is the study of the past, with special attention to the written record of the activities of human beings over time. More or less, anyone know something about history. But we study history for what? When referred to me, I would give out the answer that we can find guide from the previous information.
Some one may argue that the primary benefit of the study is to break the illusion that people are significantly different from people lived at any other time in history. Those seems true that the people like Chinese were the partisan of Confucianism from about 2,000 years ago, and so do they now.
However, in some situations that may be true. We must know that the Chinese is the only culture insulated itself from the others and not was interrupted for thousands of years. But what about the other parts of the world? Let's turn our face to the North American, just before the Europeans settled them during the 16th century, they were just millions of uncivilized Indians, and now they are hundreds of millions of people from differ race all over the world live there. And may be 2,000 years is still not long enough, compared with the history of the Earth or the human beings. I would give a example of the Neanderthal, a kind of people lived 35 to 100 million years ago. What they care the most are some thing like hunting the mammoth, however people live in the modern society pay more attention to how to enjoy themselves.
With the regardless of the time of prehistory, even the people live in the same period of time have significant different. For example, a Chinese will buy a thing after him has enough money, but a people of the USA would make a loan first. Hardly can you find many thing in common from people have different culture. And even in the same location, such as Arab the people before and after the Islamization are vastly different .Thus if you want to compare the history between different cultures, only a small statistical correlation between them could you finally find out.
And whether the chief benefit of study is to break the illusion is also skeptical.
A famous quote by George Santayana has it that "Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it."  Though some adherents of Post structuralism or Postmodernism deny that we can find some disciplines from the history to guide us. Most of people still believe in it.  Despite the diverse appearance, underlying this debate is a further and more general topic of human history.. The astronomers get the records from ancients to prove their theory of astronomy movements. The researchers of weather try to predict the future current of climate from the former history. Even in a debate the player would use the example in history to persuade his rival.
Therefore study the history would trigger the development of our society as it is a surest path to the success. That's the main reason for the most people to study it, and break down the illusion might be just a byproducts from this progress.

History is the study of the past, with special attention to the written records of the activities of human beings over time. More or less, anyone know something about history. But we study history for what?(why do we study history?) When referred to me, I would give out the answer that we can find guide(guidance) from the previous information. Some one may argue that the primary benefit of the study is to break the illusion that people are significantly different from people lived at any other time in history. Those seems true that the people like Chinese were the partisan of Confucianism from about 2,000 years ago, and so do they now.
(第一段的总论啊!没有涉及chief 和 illusion啊!所以还是要改一下,观点不是很明确)
However, in some situations that may be true. We must know that the Chinese is the only culture insulated itself from the others and not was interrupted for thousands of years. But what about the other parts of the world? Let's turn our face to the North American, just before the Europeans settled them during the 16th century, they were just millions of uncivilized Indians, and (but)now they are hundreds of millions of people from differ race all over the world live there.

a small statistical correlation between them could you finally find out.
And whether the chief benefit of study is to break the illusion is also skeptical.(这句像是在写A,所以观点最好明确)A famous quote by George Santayana has it that "Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it."  Though some adherents of Post structuralism or Postmodernism deny that we can find some disciplines from the history to guide us. Most of people still believe in it.  Despite the diverse appearance, underlying this debate is a further and more general topic of human history.. The astronomers get the records from ancients to prove their theory of astronomy movements. The researchers of weather try to predict the future current of climate from the former history. Even in a debate the player would use the example in history to persuade his rival. (不知道这段文字要分几段,以后注意下格式,段间要空一个行。还有这里的例子太多了。有点累赘的感觉。)Therefore,studying the history would trigger the development of our society as it is a surest(太绝对的词了,少用) path to the success. That's the main reason for the most people to study it, and break down the illusion might be just a byproducts from this progress.
总体来说:各段的观点不明确,过渡句少,例子累赘。
