研究历史主要的好处就是去消除了人们这样一种错误观念，（此观念认为）生活在一个时期的人们和早些时候的人们相比都有很大的不同。[说明：写一篇文章，讨论你同意或反对这个说法达到什么程度，并解释你选择这个观点的理由。在展开和支持你的观点时，你需要考虑这个说法可能在哪些方面成立或者不成立，并解释你所考虑的这些东西如何体现你的观点]
指导
本题讨论历史研究的意义，题目认为其主要意义在于说明各个历史时期人们的生活是相同的。与本题很类似的老GRE题目ISSUE226--People are mistaken when they assume that the problems they confront are more complex and challenging than the problems faced by their predecessors. This illusion is eventually dispelled with increased knowledge and experience.对于本题，你可以从：是否存在错误观念、导致错误观念的原因、研究历史对其作用、表面生活形式之下的深层问题、对不同领域环境和环境下的问题的不同情况等方面展开分析。需要注意两点：
1、在讨论历史研究意义的过程中，不能无视题目限定的范围（各个历史时期人们的异同）而岔开话题自说自话——去列举其他研究历史的好处并且不和此范围做相关类比或对比；
2、在对比不同历史时期人们的生活的时候要有具体内容，言之有物而不是喊口号说空话。

The main benefit of the study of history is to dispel the illusion that people living now are significantly different from people who lived in earlier times.
With the help of the history study, now we are able to see clearly that our lives nowadays are significantly different from people in the earlier times, both in the aspects of living style and thoughts and ideas.
To begin with, the study of history could bring the differentiated life in the ancient times to us and make a comparison between it and the modern one. Thanks to the development and advancement of science and technology, now people's lives are much more convenient and colorful than that of the earlier times. Today people are able to communicate with friends in distance by phone or through Internet immediately, instead of sending mails and wait for couples of months for reply in the ancient times; today people are able to take a plane or train and reach even the other side of the earth in less than a week, instead of taking months to walk or ride horses to a distant place; today people are able to enjoy delicious food from almost anywhere in the world in their own country, instead of being available to only a few kinds of local food. The history study tells us that people are living an entirely different life with that people lived in the earlier times.
In addition, the study of history also reveals that the thoughts and ideology of people in ancient times are extremely distinct from those in the modern times. Along with the development of science and technology, the human cultures and traditions have changed significantly. For example, the social status of woman in ancient China is much lower than man. Women were forced to stay at home, do houseworks, obey their fathers and brothers before marriage, obey their husbands after marriage, obey their sons after the death of their husbands. In the minds of the ancient Chinese people, women were like properties of man, and almost did not have any legal rights. However, in the modern China, people's idea towards women has experienced a massive transition. Today, women could work with men, make their own choices, being who they are without the obligation of complying to men. There are even a group of women now are doing better than men in this modern world.
Although history study benefits us a lot by telling us how lives today are different with those in earlier times, it has its own limitations and shortcomings. Because of the insufficient knowledge and technology, historians are incapable of studying history thoroughtly and profoundly. There are still some blind sites and disputations of history. Also, for the reason that people can be influenced by their subjuectivities, historians might take their personal perspectives into the study of history to some extend. Therefore the study of history might be colored by historians from different backgrounds. It would be irrational and impractical for us to believe in the study of history completely.
In conclusion, by the studying the history, we are able to look more into the life in the ancient times and grasp the idea that people in the earlier times lived a differentiated lives with us in the modern world in both the aspects of life style, thoughts and ideology. But we should also be objective and rational when learning about the past through the study of history.
