16.There's nothing like experiencing history to understand it.So instead of reading  about the U.S.Civil War in textbooks,some schoolchildren in Virginia are creating videos related to the conflict,in which the northern Union and southern Confederate states fought over several issues,including slavery,from l861-1865.
    In one scene,children act as two Union generals,meeting at the Kaploan Klver in central Virginia.The l2-and l3-year-olds are producing a mini-video on the key role temporary pontoon bridges(浮橋)played during the war.After building and crossing a  pontoon bridge,Union soldiers defeated a Confederate army in the Battle of the  Wilderness.
    In another scene,students act as soldiers who are marching to the river with guns.Today,the area is part of a national military park.Park Educational Coordinator Peter Maugle shows the children how to hold the fake guns."Hopefully they will understand why these places are important through projects and programs like this,and they will make an effort to keep these places preserved for future generations,''he said.
    Another background is a plantation where much of the Battle of the Wilderness was fought.At this location,another group of children is focusing on the diary of a woman who lived in the region during the war.Student director John Ashley says the experience has made him think more about the human aspect of the war.Filmmaker Ghil Hong donated his time to help the students,who have understood it quickly."They are trying to convey the emotions during the Civil War.They really focus on wanting the story to be accurate,''Hong added.
    With help from advisors,the children also research,write,and edit the videos.Alexis Albert got a chance to try out directing and learned a lot about Civil War history in the process."It helps me more as a student understand it more than reading a book and looking at words,"he said.
    The project is sponsored by the Journey Through Hallowed Ground,which raises  awareness of historical sites from Pennsylvania to Virginia,including many Civil War battlegrounds.

7.The Cost of Higher Education
Individuals (個(gè)人) should pay for their higher education.
A university education is of huge and direct benefit to the individual.Graduates earn more than non-graduates.Meanwhile,social mobility is ever more dependent on having a degree.However,only some people have it.So the individual,not the taxpayers,should pay for it.There are pressing calls on the resources (資源) of the government.Using taxpayers'money to help a small number of people to earn high incomes in the future is not one of them.
Full government funding (資助) is not very good for universities.Adam Smith worked in a Scottish university whose teachers lived off student fees.He knew and looked down upon 18th-century Oxford,where the academics lived comfortably off the income received from the government.Guaranteed salaries,Smith argued,were the enemy of hard work; and when the academics were lazy and incompetent,the students were similarly lazy.
If students have to pay for their education,they not only work harder,but also demand more from their teachers.And their teachers have to keep them satisfied.If that means taking teaching seriously,and giving less time to their own res earch interests,that is surely something to celebrate.
Many people believe that higher education should be free because it is good for the economy (經(jīng)濟(jì)).Many graduates clearly do contribute to national wealth,but so do all the businesses that invest (投資) and create jobs.If you believe that the government should pay for higher education because graduates are economically productive,you should also believe that the government should pay part of business costs.Anyone promising to create jobs should receive a gift of capital from the government to invest.Therefore,it is the individual,not the government,who should pay for their university education.

68.The underlined word"them"in Paragraph 2 refers toB
A.taxpayers
B.pressing calls
C.college graduates
D.government resources
69.The author thinks that with full government fundingD
A.teachers are less satisfied
B.students are more demanding
C.students will become more competent
D.teachers will spend less time on teaching
70.The author mentions businesses in Paragraph 5 in order toA
A.a(chǎn)rgue against free university education
B.call on them to finance students'studies
C.encourage graduates to go into business
D.show their contribution to higher education.

The Past Is a Foreign Country by David Lowenthal.This great book of an armchair exploration tells us what has happened in the past and shows the relationship between us and the past travelers.
