10、youre studyinghistory,asking yourself the question“why is history important“is a very good first step.Historyis an essential part of human civilization.You will find something here that will arouse your2interest,or get you thinking about the significance of history.History grounds us in our roots.Hi
11、story is an important and interesting field of study,andlearning the history of our home country can give us a deeper,more meaningful glimpse into ourancestors9 pasts,and how we got to where we are today.Many people feel like they need a senseof cultural belonging,which is something that studying yo

14、 know now.It alsoprovides a rather strong foundation for empathy across cultures.Fear and hate for others isusually caused by ignorance.Were scared of the things that we dont understand.History hasthe potential to break down those boundaries by offering us insight into entire worlds that wouldotherw
15、ise be foreign to us.History can inspire us to learn more.Whafs fantastic about history is the way it broadensour horizons.Its almost impossible to learn about one historical period without having dozensof questions about related concepts.Study the 19th century England,and you might catch aglimpse o
16、f Charles Dickens Oliver Twist.Look up Charles Dickens,and you might learn a thingor two about realism.Or maybe you end up switching your attention away from novels,anddiscover the history of romantic poets in England.It can go anywhere,and there is something inthere for absolutely anybody.The value

20、 Studying History MattersC.Know the Past,Know the Present D.History:a Way to Broaden HorizonsBThose supposedly trials for various products and services can be attractive,but thetrouble comes when all those free things end up costing you money.Nearly 6 in 10 Americans who signed up fbr a free product
21、 trial were later charged againsttheir will,according to a website named Bankrate.Users who forget to cancel before the trialperiod ends may find themselves charged a fee of$10 or S15 and included in whats known as anegative option plan,in which goods or services are sent unless a customer tells the
22、 seller notto send them.Other users may find themselves billed fbr the price of shipping.And then there*s the fine print.For Morgan Taylor,a marketer based in Scottsdale,Arizona,failing to carefully examine a websites offer that let him download 10 songs fbr free ended upcosting him money.The catch:
23、Although he says he canceled before the trial period ended,Taylor was charged$9.90 because the terms said that the songs were free only with a one-monthsubscription and billed if the subscription was canceled.“I tried to question the charge,but it was useless,Taylor said.I hadnt read the fine print.
24、The likelihood that a person will end up paying for a free trial after it ends actuallyincreases with income and education level,Bankrate found.About two-thirds,or 65%,of peoplemaking$80,000 or more a year were charged after a free trial.Meanwhile,just over half ofpeople making$40,000 or less found
25、themselves forking over dollars.People with lesseducation and less income seem to be keeping a closer eye on their money and therefore are lesslikely to be charged against their Bankrate analyst Ted Rossman said.Rossman gave a few suggestions to help customers avoid getting cheated.He said,Beforemak

28、dn*t contact the company to question the charge.26.Who is most likely to lose money on free trials according to Ted Rossman?4A.A nurse making$80,000 a year.B.A professor making$130,000 a year.C.A dishwasher making$26,000 a year.D.A childcare worker making$30,000 a year.27.In which part of a newspape
29、r can we probably find this text?A.Sports.B.Entertainment.C.Education.D.Consumption.CMany people believe that working to the maximum is the secret to success,but research hasfound that moderation（适度）also gets results on the job.In a study led by Ellen Langer of Harvard University,researchers asked p
30、eople to translatesentences into a new a made-up language.Subjects who practiced the language moderatelybeforehand made fewer errors than those who practiced extensively or not at all.High levels ofknowledge can make people too attached to traditional ways of viewing problems across fields-the arts,
31、sciences,and politics.High conscientiousness is related to lower job performance,especially in simple jobs where it doesnt pay to be a perfectionist.How long we stay on the clock and how we spend that time are under careful examinationin many workplaces.The young banker who eats lunch at his desk is
32、 probably seen as agogetten while his colleagues who chat over a relaxed conference-room meal get dirty looksfrom the comer office.People from cultures that value relationships more than ours does areshocked by the thought of eating alone in front of a computer,says Art Markman,a professor ofpsychol
33、ogy at the University of Texas,Austin.Social interaction has been shown to lift moodand get people thinking in new directions and in ways that could help improve any post-luncheffort.Markman also promotes off-task time.Part of being a good thinker is experiencing thingsthat are seemingly unrelated t

38、isis.According toHarvard historian James Hankins,part of the problem is the dominance of“critical“reading over“primary“reading.Primary reading takes a text at face value and simply tries to understand whatthe author intended to say.Critical reading assumes an authors statements can never be taken at
39、face value.Instead,they must be“seen through to expose the texts real meaning,which isdetermined in accord with this or that fashionable theory.Mr.Hankins says primary reading“must be recovered for higher education in thehumanities to be effective.I would go further.Primary reading isnt important on
40、ly for thehumanities,or even fbr education more generally.The restoration of primary reading could be acrucial weapon in fighting the“idle talk that troubles American society.Idle talk was philosopher Martin Heideggers term for inauthentic discourse（不可信的言辞）.It involves adopting and circulating other
41、s opinions about something without everpersonally engaging that thing for yourself.People engaged in idle talk speak in accord withexpectations fbr their particular identity or role.They hold and express the opinions a person intheir role is expected to hold.Idle talk can be harmless.Each year my mo

43、ycling that content.They may add a little spin of their own but rarely look into the issue fbr themselveseven whenthis would require but a few clicks and a couple of minutes to read a legislative（法律的）text.Some journalists even just search social media fbr the story of the day and rewrite it in their
44、 ownwords.The Covid pandemic highlighted the problem,from exclusion of those daring to discuss thetradeoffs of lockdowns to the promotion of masks as a political identity marker completelydisconnected from medical or scientific justification.Not to mention the misleading statementthat arose over“the
45、 science and the social trend to“fbllow it.Social media has contributed to the spread of idle talk.Authentic discourse requires time,6effort and good-faith engagement,but social media tends to encourage the opposite.Asjournalists comment on every topic,however small or traditionally unnewsworthy,the
46、all-knowing chorus of global gossip becomes a roaring crowd.Social media raises this voice,pushing it into user feeds 24/7.We hear about everything,and we cant hear about anythingwithout also being told what opinion we should have about it.Opinions before facts;know whatto think about something befo
47、re actually looking into it for yourself.And really,why even botherwith that?Primary reading isnt only something the humanities need.Our entire culture needs itsvalue to be recognized and restored.32.What do we know from the first two paragraphs?A.Primary reading focuses on the deep meaning.B.Critic
