答案 We Must Live in the Present I can only agree with this statement partly because of the way I was raised. In a Chinese family, tradition and history play an important role in guiding a person’s judgement and feelings. For example, keeping the family together and working personal difficulties out with the help of the family are ways of living that we value, so the modem habit of simpling abandoning the family through divorce when problems get difficult is rejected by us. We consider our present to be the sum of our past, and lopping off the past means lopping off most of our lives. On the other hand, remembering the past in some ways can be hurtful. For example, events such as tragic death, rape, or abuse, can be dwelled on so much that we cannot grow in the present. While we shouldn’t forget the bad things completely, we shouldn’t let them govern us, Also some past teachings may be corrupt and should be locked away. For example, past lessons in prejudice and hate can hurt us in the present and can rain our future. The problem we face is how to let the positive parts of the past help us to make the present positive.
解析 本文是一篇议论文。可按“三段式”进行写作。在范文中，第一段提出作者观点，根据这个观点，忘记过去既有好处也有坏处。接着作者就以历史、传统论证了记住过去的必要性，人应该记住过去。第二段论证了记住过去的某些坏处，论证了有的时候人应该忘记过去，其中作者给出了很多例子。文章最后一段是结论部分，是对第一段开头部分的说明与强化。作者只用了一句话使自己的观点明确化，阐明了自己之所以采取中立态度的原因——记不记住过去本身并不重要，重要的是要使过去的有利因素为现在所用以使现在的生活积极向上。这样的首尾呼应增强了文章的感染力与说服力。
