该题为观点态度题。根据最后一段可知，作者提出了马基雅维利在内容上的缺陷，即“…adhering at times too closely to the chroniclers of his time，and at others rejecting their testimony with-out apparent reason…”，意思是“文章中有时候太过于附和他所在时代的编年史，而有时候又坚决抛弃其中的论断，而没有给出任何明显的理由…”。而最后一句作者表明“It is the straightfor-ward，logical narrative，which always holds the interest of the read-er，that is the greatest charm of the History．”意思是：“他直接的、有逻辑的叙述常常能引起读者的兴趣，这就是这本书的魅力所在。”可见，作者认为这本书内容上有缺陷，而对马基雅维利的语言风格持肯定态度。所以，作者对《佛罗伦萨史》的看法就是：这本书的魅力在于他的文体风格而不是内容，故选B。

In the 16th and 17th centuries, two persons helped lay the foundation of modern education.
Comenius, a Czech humanist, greatly influenced both educational and psycho-educational thought.
He wrote texts that were based on a developmental theory and in them introduced the use of visual aids in instruction. Media and instructional research, a vital part of contemporary educational psy-chology, has its origins in the writing and textbook design of Comenius.61 ) He recommended that instruction start with the general and then move to the particular and that nothing in books be ac-cepted unless checked by a demonstration to the senses. He taught that understanding, not memory,is the goal of instruction; that we learn best that which we have an opportunity to teach; and that parents have a role to play in the schooling of their children.
The contributions of one of our many ancestors often are overlooked, yet Juan Luis Vives wrote very much as a contemporary educational psychologist might in the first part of the 16thcentu-ry.62 ) He stated to teachers and others with educational responsibilities, such as those in govern-ment and commerce, that there should be an orderly presentation of the facts to be learned, and in this way he anticipated Herbart and the 19th-century psychologists. He noted that what is to be learned must be practiced, and in this way he anticipated Thorndike´s Law of Exercise. He wrote on practical knowledge and the need to engage student interest, anticipating Dewey.63 ) He wrote a-bout individual differences and about the need to adjust instruction for all students, and anticipated the work of educational and school psychologists in the area of special education. He discussed the schools´s role in moral growth, anticipating the work of Dewey, Piaget, Kohlberg, and Gilligan.
He wrote about learning being dependent on self-activity, a precursor to contemporary research on meta-cognition, where the ways in which the self monitors its own activties are studied. Finally,64) Vives anticipated both the contemporary motivational theorists who avoid social comparisons and those researchers who find the harmful elements of norm-referenced testing to outweigh their advantages, by writing about the need for students to be evaluated on the basis of their own past
accomplishments and not in comparison with other students.65 )Thus, long before we claimed our professional identity, there were individuals thinking intelligently about what we would eventually call educational psychology, preparing the way for the scientific study of education.
