Question

【題目】第二節(jié) 閱讀短文，根據(jù)其內(nèi)容完成表格。

History is still a compulsory(必修的) subject at lower levels and pupils still choose to study it at higher levels. However, there is an ongoing discussion about whether schools should continue to teach history. This passage will deal with the arguments that oppose and support teaching history in school, concluding that we should teach history, because the value of the subject goes beyond the classroom.First of all, many pupils suggest that history is one of the less interesting school subjects and that governments should spend the time and money on subjects that are more useful. Some people argue that math and English are more important so we can have a society with a good basic education. Other people say that we should spend the money on teaching science, as this can move a country forward and benefit the economy. However, when we teach history, we are just looking back at the past. The economic benefits of this area are less obvious.

On the other hand, there are several reasons why it is a good idea to teach history. Teaching history is important because students should be able to understand the background to current issues in the news. This will create better-informed citizens. Another reason is that it helps pupils to understand the culture and background of the society they live in. In addition to learning about the past, history teaching can help students to think for themselves. Finally, it also improves pupils' reading and writing skills, which can help them become better students.

In conclusion, though there are clearly arguments on both sides, it seems to me that we should teach children about the past because the advantages of teaching the subject go beyond the contest of the classes. I would say the teaching of history helps to create well-educated generation.
