In America, history is still a required subject at lower levels and students still choose to study it at higher levels. However, there is an ongoing discussion about whether schools should continue to teach History or whether they should spend the money on other subject. This article will deal with the arguments against and in favour of teaching History in school, concluding that we should teach History.
Many of my classmate 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. They argue that Maths and English are more important so we can have a society with a good basic education. Others say that we should spend the money on teaching Science, as this can move a country forward and benefit the economy.
Yet, there are a number of reasons why it is a good idea to teach History. Teaching history is important because students should be able to understand the background to present situations in the news. This will create better-informed citizens. Another reason is that it helps pupils to understand their culture and background, which also helps them to understand the society they live in. In addition to learning about the past, History 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, although there are clear arguments on both sides, it seems to me that we should teach children about the past because the value of the subject goes beyond the classroom. I would say that the teaching of History helps to create generations of well-educated and knowledgeable individuals.

Fill in the blanks with proper words （在短文的空格内填入适当的词，使其内容通顺，每空格限填一词，首字母已给）
You move every day. Every time you sit down, walk, ride a bike, or eat your food, you are moving. You e1. move while you are sitting in a chair. What gets you moving, keeps you moving, and helps you to move the way you want to move?
One force that helps you move is gravity. Gravity pulls you toward Earth. Why? Earth is bigger and h2. than you are, so you’re pulled by Earth’s gravity. How does that help you? When you take a step, gravity pulls on your foot. That pulling helps you put your foot down. Then, you can move your o3. foot. Do you like to play baseball? Gravity makes the baseball fall after it is h4.. Then, as gravity pulls the ball toward the ground, and can catch the ball.
Friction also helps you move. Friction happens when two o5. rub against each other. How does friction help you move? When you walk, friction keeps your feet from slipping. When you hold a pencil, friction helps keep it in your h6.. and friction makes the brakes on your bike work. too.
Inertia also helps you. Inertia is a sort of rule: it tells us two things; Things that are in movement will remain in movement until something stops them; and things that are at rest will stay at rest unless something moves them. When you ride your bike, it will keep going until you stop it, and when you sit down to read, you will stay where you are until you are r7. to move.
Next time you move, think about gravity, friction and inertia. All of them help to get you where you want to go.
① gravity n. 重力 ② friction n. 摩擦力 ③ inertia n. 惯性

Answer the questions （根据以下内容回答问题）
Kayla was excited. She was beginning a pottery（陶瓷）class. Kayla was interested in pottery. She had seen pictures of American Indian pottery at school. That was when she decided she loved it. So now she was going to learn how to make pottery herself.
During the first class, Kayla and the other kids leaned about safety. There were several sharp tools in the classroom. There was also a kiln, or over, that got very hot. So everyone had to learn what the safety rules were. Then, their teacher showed them how to work the clay（粘土）. For the next few classes,Kayla and the other kids practiced different styles of pottery.
Finally, it was time for the students to make their own pottery. Kayla decided to make a matching plate and cup. She got the clay she needed and used a tool called a potter’s wheel to fashion the clay into the shape of a plate and a cup. Then, Kayla used some tools to give the plate and cup their final shapes. She made a handle for the cup, too. When the cup and plate were shaped, they were left to dry.
When the plate and cup were dry, it was time to paint them. Kayla used paints for clay and created her picture. When Kayla was finished, the paint was allowed to dry. It was then time to fire, or bake, the plate and cup in the kiln. This would take some time, so the teacher said that they would see the pottery at the next class. And it was! Kayla’s cup and plate turned out beautifully, and she couldn’t wait to show it to her parents.
1.Kayla was interested in drawing pictures of American Indian pottery, wasn’t she?
