Two thirds cannot correctly【80】the Civil War between 1850 and 1900.【81】when they get the answers right, some are【82】guessing.
    Unlike math or science, ignorance of history cannot be【83】connected to loss of international【84】. But it does affect our future【85】a democratic nation and as individuals.
    The【86】news is that there is growing agreement【87】what is wrong with the【88】of history and what needs to be【89】to fix it. The steps are tentative (尝试性的)【90】yet to be felt in most classrooms.
