通读下面的短文，掌握其大意。从每小题的四个选项中选出可填入相应空白处的最佳选择，并把它前面的大写字母填入左边括号里。
If we were asked exactly what we were doing ayear ago， we should probably have to say that we couldnot remember. But if we had kept a book and written in it an account of _31_each day， we should be able to give an answer _32_ thequestion.
It is the same in the history. _33_ have beenforgotten because we do not have any written account of them. Sometimes men_34_ a record of the important happenings in _35_ country， _36_ often it was destroyed by fire or in a war. Sometimes therewas never any written record at all because the people _37_ did not know how towrite. For example， we know _38_ the people who livedin China 4，000 years ago，because they could write and _39_ written records for these who live _40_ them.But we know _41_ nothing about the people who lived even 200 years ago inCentral Africa， because they _42_.
Sometimes， of course， even if the people cannot write， they mayknow something of the past. They have learned about it from _43_ people， and often songs and dances and stories have been made about themost important happenings， and these have been sung andacted and told _44_ many generations (後代)。 Most people are proud to tell _45_ their fathers did in the past.This we may call “remembered history”。 _46_ has now been written down. It is not so exact _47_ so valuableto us _48_ written history is， because words are muchmore easily _49_ when used again and again in speech than copied in writing.But _50_ no written records， such spoken stories areoften very helpful.

A
First there was learning. This has alwaysbeen an important part of human life. By imitating their parents， children learned to hunt， to make tools， and to take care of themselves and others.
Next came education. This was possible onlyafter people developed language. Then adults could explain how to do things.They could talk about traditions， beliefs， and ceremonies of the group. Still，education was oral. Children could learn only what their teachers couldremember.
Finally， schools werecreated. They came into being because writing was invented. The first systemfor writing appeared about 3，500 B.C. in Sumeria， a land that is now Iraq. The Sumerians also invented a system forcalculating with numbers. About 500 years later， theEgyptians discovered writing and calculation， too. Andshortly after that， both the Sumerians and theEgyptians started schools. Being able to read and write they allowed people tolearn anything that could be recorded. But the early systems were complicated.Children couldn‘t learn them just by watching. That’s why schools became a necessity.
Those first students learned reading， writing， and calculation. Having theseskills gave people great power over those who did not have them. Some 5，000 years later， this is still true.
