The only way to travel is on foot
The past ages of man have all been carefully labeled by anthropologists.
escriptions like 'Paleolithic Man', 'Neolithic Man', etc., neatly sum up whole periods. When the time comes for anthropologists to turn their attention to the twentieth century, they will surely choo the label 'Legless Man'. Histories of the time will go something like this: 'in the twentieth century, people forgot how to u their legs.
Men and women moved about in cars, bus and trains from a very early age. There were lifts and escalators in all large buildings to prevent people from walking. This situation was forced upon earth dwellers of that time becau of miles each day.
But the surprising thing is that they didn't u their legs even when they went on holiday. They built cable railways, ski-lifts and roads to the top of every huge mountain. All the beauty spots on earth were mangled by the prence of large car parks. '
The future history books might also record that we were deprived of the u of our eyes. In our hurry to get from one place to another, we failed to e anything on the way. Air travel gives you a bird's-eye view of the world - or even less if the wing of the aircraft happens to get in your way.massmutual
When you travel by car or train a blurred image of the countryside constantly smears the windows. Car drivers, in particular, are forever obsd with the urge to go on and on: they never want to stop. Is it the lure of the great motorways, or what? And as for a travel, it hardly derves mention.
It is perfectly summed up in the words of the old song: 'I joined the navy to e the world, and what did I e? I saw the a.' The typical twentieth-century traveler is the man who always says 'I've been there. ' You mention the remotest, most evocative place-names in the world like El Dorado, Ka
bul, Irkutsk and someone is bound to say 'I've been there' - meaning, 'I drove through it at 100 miles an hour on the way to somewhere el. '
When you travel at high speeds, the prent means nothing: you live mainly in the future becau you spend most of your time looking forward to arriving at some other place. But actual arrival, when it is achieved, is meaningless. You want to move on again.
By traveling like this, you suspend all experience; the prent ceas to be a reality: you might just as well be dead. The traveler on foot, on the other hand, lives constantly in the prent.
For him traveling and arriving is one and the same thing: he arrives somewhere with every step he makes. He
experiences the prent moment with his eyes, his ears and the whole of his body. At the end of his journey he feels a delicious physical weariness. He knows that sound. Satisfying sleep will be his: the just reward of all true travelers.

写作⽅法与⽂章⼤意:
⽂章以因果写作⽅法,写出了由于种种现代化交通设施、⼈们不需⽤脚⾛路,甚⾄也不需要⽤眼看景,
出门就坐汽车、公交车、地铁、飞机……,车、机速度飞快,外边的景物难以看清,最终导致⼈们忘记⽤脚、⽤眼成为“⽆脚之⼈”。⼀切都经历不到。作者建议最佳的旅游⽅法是徒步――经历现实。
1. A ⼈们忘了⽤脚。答案在第⼀段:⼈类学家把以往年代的⼈们分别标上旧⽯器时代、新⽯器时代⼈,等等。⼲脆利落地总结了⼀个时期。当他们转向20世纪,他们肯定会标上“⽆脚的⼈”。因为在20世纪,⼈们忘了如何⽤脚⾛路。男⼈⼥⼈早年外出就坐车、公共汽车、⽕车。⼤楼⾥由电梯、⾃动扶梯不需要⼈们⾛路。即使度假期间,他们也不⽤脚。他们筑有缆车道、滑雪载车和路直通⼭顶。所有的风景旅游区都有⼤型的汽车停车场。
B ⼈们喜欢汽车、公交车、⽕车等。
C 电梯、⾃动扶梯制⽌⼈们⾛路。
D 有许多交通运输⼯具。
2. A ⼈们的注意⼒在未来。见最后⼀段第⼀句话:当你⾼速旅⾏,现在等于零,你主要⽣活在未来,因为你⼤部分时间盯在前⾯到达的某个地⽅。真到了,⼜没有意义了,你还要再向前进。
B 是⼀种欢乐。
C 满⾜司机强烈的渴望。第⼆段中提及死机醉⼼于开车、不停车但不是快速前进着眼于未来。
我在读书中成长
D ⽣活的需要。这⼀条在第⼀段中提及这种情况是因为他们那异常的⽣活⽅法强加给时代的居民。这是指不⽤脚⾛路,⽽⽤⼀切代步器――交通运输⼯具,不是开快车。
3. C ⼈们在旅⾏途中什么都见不到。答案在第⼆段,由⼀地转向另⼀地,路上你什么都没有见到。乘飞机你只能俯视世界,⽕车,汽车,只见外界朦胧景象掠过窗⼦。海上旅游,只见到海。“我到过那⾥”此话含义就是“我以⼀⼩时⼀百英⾥在去某某地⽅时经过那⾥”。正因为如此,作者指出将来的历史书上会记录下:我们被剥夺了眼睛的应⽤。
A ⼈们不愿⽤眼睛。
B 在⾼速旅⾏中,眼睛没有⽤了。 D 旅⾏中,⼈们想睡觉。
4. D 旅⾏的最佳⽅式是⾛路。⽂章第⼀段、第⼆段分别讲述了旅⾏可不⽤脚、不⽤眼等情况。第三段,在讲述了⼈们只知向前向前,⼀切经历都停滞,现实不再是现实,还如死的好。⽽⽤脚⾛路的旅⾏者总是⽣活再现实,对他来说旅⾏和到达是⼀回事,他⼀步⼀步⾛到某地,他⽤眼睛、⽿朵,以⾄整个⾝体去体验现在时刻、旅⾏终点,他感到全⾝舒坦愉悦的疲劳,美美享受满⾜的酣睡;⼀切真正旅⾏者的真实报偿。这⼀段就是作者写⽂章的⽬的――⾛路是旅⾏的最佳⽅式。
A 脚变得软弱⽆⼒。
B 现代交通⼯具把世界变⼩。
C 没有必要⽤眼睛。
5. C 从⾼出向下看的景致:俯视。
A ⽤鸟的眼睛看景点。
B 鸟在看美景。 D 风景点。

Vicious and Dangerous Sports should be Banned by Law
When you think of the tremendous technological progress we have made; it’s amazing how little we have developed in other respects. We may speak contemptuously of the poor old Romans becau they relished the orgies of slaughter that went on in their arenas. We may despi them becau they mistook this goings on for entertainment. We may forgive them condescendingly becau they lived 2000 years ago and obviously knew no better. But are our feelings of superiority really justified? Are we any less blood-thirsty? Why do boxing matches, for instance, attract such universal interest?
Don’t the spectators who attend them hope they will e some violence? Human beings remain as bloodthirsty as ever they were. The only difference between ourlves and the Romans is that while they were honest enough to admit that they enjoyed watching hungey lions tearing people apart and eating them alive, we find all sorts of sophisticated arguments to defend sports which should have been banned long age; sports which are quite as barbarous as, say, public hangings or bearbaiting.
It really is incredible that in this day and age we should still allow hunting or bull-fighting, that we should be prepared to sit back and watch two men batter each other to pulp in a boxing ring, that we should be relatively unmoved by the sight of one or a number of racing cars crashing and bursting into flames. Let us not deceive ourlves. Any talk of ‘the sporting spirit’is sheer hypocrisy. People take part in violent sports becau of the high rewards they bring. Spectators are willing to pay vast sums of money to e violence. A world heavyweight championship match, for instance, is front page news. Millions of people are disappointed if a big fight is over in two rounds instead of fifteen. They feel disappointment becau they have been deprived of the exquisite pleasure of witnessing prolonged torture and violence.
Why should we ban violent sports if people enjoy them so much? You may well ask. The answer is simple: they are uncivilized. For centuries man has been trying to improve himlf spiritually and em
otionally - admittedly with little success.
But at least we no longer tolerate the sight madmen cooped up in cages, or public floggings of any of the countless other barbaric practices which were common in the past. Prisons are no longer the grim forbidding places they ud to be. Social welfare systems are in operation in many parts of the world. Big efforts are being made to distribute wealth fairly. The changes have come about not becau human beings have suddenly and unaccountably improved, but becau positive steps were taken to change the law. The law is the biggest instrument of social change that we have and it may exert great civilizing influence. If we banned dangerous and violent sports, we would be moving one step further to improving mankind. We would recognize that violence is degrading and unworthy of human beings.
