It was a cold winter day.A woman drove up to the Rainbow Bridge tollbooth(收费站)。“I'm paying for myself, and for the six cars behind me”,she said with a smile, handing over seven tickets.One after another, the nest six drivers arriving at the tollbooth were informed“Some lady up ahead already paid your fare.”

It turned out that the woman,Natalie Smith, had read something on a friend's refrigerator: “Practice random kindness and senseless acts of beauty.”The phrase impressed her so much that she copied it down.

Judy Foreman spotted the same phrase on a warehouse wall far away from home. When it stayed on her mind for days, she gave up and drove all the way back to copy it down.“I though it was beautiful,”she said. explaining why she'd taken to writing it at the bottom of all her letters, like a message from above." Her husband, Frank, liked the phrase so much that he put it upon the classroom wall for his students, one of whom was the daughter of Alice Johnson," a local news reporter. Alice put it in the newspaper, admitting that though she liked it, she didn't know where it came from or what it really meant.

Two days later,Alice got a call from Anne Herbert, a woman living in Marin. It was in a restaurant that Anne wrote the phrase down on a piece of paper, after turning it around in her mind for days.

“Here’s the idea,"Anne says.“Anything you think there should be more of. do it randomly. Her fantasies include painting the classrooms of shabby schools, leaving hot meals on kitchen tables in the poor part of town, and giving money secretly to a proud old lady. Anne says,“Kindness can build on itself as much as violence can.”

The acts of random kindness spread. If you were one of those drivers who found your fare paid,who knows what you might have been inspired to do for someone else later. Like all great events, kindness begins slowly, with every single act, Let it be yours!

Studying a subject that you feel pointless is never a fun or easy task. If you're studying history,asking yourself the question "why is history important "is a very good first step. History is an essential part of human civilization. You will find something here that will arouse your interest, or get you thinking about the significance of history.

History grounds us in our roots. History is an important and interesting field of study, and learning the history of our home country can give us a deeper, more meaningful glimpse (一瞥) into our ancestral pasts, and how we got to where we are today. Many people feel like they need a sense of cultural belonging, which is something that studying your roots and being open- minded to the evolution, of your culture can provide.

History enriches our experience. Reading history is an amazing experience because it enables us to reflect on the social and economic life of the people living long time ago According to the experts,problems faced by people regardless of the past and present are the same. With the information about the ancestors, one can become more experienced in handling challenges of life.

History makes us more empathetic (具有共情能力的) . Studying history can give us insight (洞察力)into why our culture does certain things, and how the past has shaped it into what we know now.It also provides a rather strong foundation for empathy across cultures.

History can inspire us to learn more. What's fantastic about history is the way it broadens our horizons. It's almost impossible to learn about one historical period without having dozens of questions about related concepts. Study the 19th century England, and you might catch a glimpse of Charles Dickens' Oliver Twist. Look up Charles Dickens, and you might learn a thing or two about realism.Or maybe you end up switching your attention away from novels, and discover the history of romantic poets in England. It can go anywhere, and there is something in there for absolutely anybody.

The value of history cannot be underestimated. We don't have to live in the past, but we can definitely do better by learning from it and using the lessons learnt to lead more meaningful lives.

11. The underlined part“where we are today" in Para.2 probably means

A. the turning point in our history

B. the present state of our nation

C. the location of our homeland

D. the total area of our country

12. According to the experts, why is history useful for people to handle challenges of life?

A. People living long time ago knew more about how to solve problems.
