Passage Three
Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage.
To be“historically minded”is to see things I relation and in perspective, and
to judge tolerantly. We must remember
how differently men have thought and acted in different times. We must always
keep an open mind, ready to receive and
weigh new evidence. If we grasp this idea, we will never think that a historian
(歷史學(xué)家)is someone who can remember
dates.
That childish idea is like calling a man a statesman(政治家)because he can
remember the names of voters in his
district.
A waiter could remember more names and a telephone operator more numbers than
the greatest historian.
The true historian is not content to take all his facts from other historians.
Today he makes sure that his statements
are based on sound“documents”or“sources”which go back to the time of the facts
themselves.
But the historian needs always to be in his guard not to be misled by his sources.
A document may not be a real one.
Its author may be lying on purpose for some reason. He may be so greatly influenced
by national, religious, party, or
personal backgrounds as to be totally unfair to the other side. If honest, he
may be misinformed as to the facts and
mistaken in his inferences.
Anyone who reads the accounts published in the different countries concerning
the causes and results of wars will
realize that the historian needs caution and training in handling these sources.
The trained historian asks first:
“Did this writer mean to tell the truth?”and second:“Was he in a position or
frame of mind to tell the truth even
if he wants to?”Every statement must be patiently weighed and tested and combined
with all other available information
in order to get at the
truth.
