Also it introduces the basic conditions of these two schools.The second part is putting forward problems, through which it analyses schools, teachers, textbooks, and teaching assessment. It dwells on the underlying problems that have existed in history teaching. Through investigation we discovered the following problems: First, high schools don't attach great importance to this subject, so there aren't many necessary history-related books in school library to learn by themselves. Second, teachers with lower educational background can't adapt to the synthetically-art subject in National Entrance Examination (NEE) in a short time. Third, students still take no interest in history class and they strongly expressed their dissatisfaction with textbooks. Another point is students can hardly gain interest from learning owing to the poorly-compiled textbooks.
