阅读下面的文言文，完成4—7题。 欧阳玄，字原功。母李氏，亲授《孝经》《论语》《小学》诸书，八岁能成诵，始从乡先生张贯之学，日记数千言，即知属文。十岁，有黄冠师注目视玄，谓贯之曰：“是儿神气凝远，目光射人，异日当以文章冠世，廊庙之器也。”言讫而去，亟追与语，已失所之。部使者行县，玄以诸生见，命赋梅花诗，立成十首，晚归，增至百首，见者骇异之。年十四，益从宋故老习为词章,下笔辄成章，每试庠序，辄占高等。弱冠，下帷数年，人莫见其面。经史百家，靡不研究。延祐元年，诏设科取士，玄以《尚书》与贡。明年，赐进士出身，授岳州路平江州同知。调太平路芜湖县尹。县多疑狱，久不决，玄察其情，皆为平翻。豪右不法，虐其驱奴，玄断之从良。贡赋征发及时，民乐趋事，教化大行，飞蝗独不入境。改武冈县尹。县控制溪洞，蛮獠杂居，抚字稍乖，辄弄兵犯顺。玄至逾月，赤水、太清两洞聚众相攻杀，官曹相顾失色，计无从出。玄即日单骑从二人，径抵地谕之。至则死伤满道，战斗未已。獠人熟玄名，弃兵仗，罗拜马首曰：“我曹非不畏法，缘诉某事于县，县官不为直，反以徭役横敛培克之，情有弗堪，乃发愤就死耳。不意烦我清廉官自来。”玄喻以祸福，归为理其讼，獠人遂安。召为国子博士，升国子监丞。致和元年，迁翰林待制，兼国史院编修官。时当兵兴，玄领印摄院事，日直内廷，参决机务，凡远近调发，制诏书檄。更张朝政，事有不便者，集议廷中，玄极言无隐。科目之复，沮者尤众，玄尤力争之。诏修辽、金、宋三史，召为总裁官，发凡举例，俾论撰者有所据依。史官中有悻悻露才、论议不公者，玄不以口舌争，俟其呈稿，援笔窜定之，统系自正。至于论、赞、表、奏，皆玄属笔。五年，帝以玄历仕累朝，且有修三史功，谕旨丞相，超授爵秩，遂拟拜翰林学士承旨。十七年春，乞致仕，以中原道梗，欲由蜀还乡，帝复不允。时将大赦天下，宣赴内府。玄久病，不能步履，丞相传旨，肩舆至延春阁下，实异数也。是岁十二戊戌，座于崇教里之寓舍，年八十五。帝赐赙甚厚，追封楚公，谥曰文。（选自《元史•欧阳玄传》，有删节）

If we were asked exactly what we were doing a year ago ， we should probably have to say that we could not remember But if we had kept a book and had written in it an account of what we did each day ， we should be able to give an answer to the question. It is the same in history Many things have been forgotten because we do not have any written account of them Sometimes men did keep a record of the most important happenings in their country ， but often it was destroyed by fire or in a war ． Sometimes there was never any written record at all because the people of that time and place did not know how to Write ． For example ， we know a good deal about the people who lived in China 4 ， 000 years ago, because they could write and leave written records for those who lived after them ． But we know almost nothing about the people who lived even 200 years ago in central Africa ． because they had not learned to write Sometimes ． of course ， even if the people cannot write ， they may know something of the past ． They have heard about it from older people ， and often songs and dances and stories have been made about the most important happenings ， and these have been sung and acted and told for many generations For most people are proud to tell what their fathers did in the past ． This we may call ’remembered history’ ． Some of it has now been written down. It is not so exact or so valuable to us as written history is ， because words are much more easily changed when used again and again in speech than when copied in writing ． But where there are no written records ， such spoken stories are often very helpful ．
