The single business of Henry Thoreau, during forty odd years of eager activity, was to discover economy calculated to provide a satisfying life. His one concern, that gave to his long enjoyable walk in Concord fields a value of high adventure, .was to explore the true meaning of wealth.
As he understood the problems of economics, there were three possible solutions open to him: to exploit himself, to exploit his fellows, or to reduce the problem to its lowest level. The first was quite impossible -- to imprison himself in a dull work when the morning called to great adventure. To exploit one’s fellows seemed to Thorean’s sensitive social conscience an even greater disloyalty.
Freedom with being away from pleasant things, seemed to him better than serfdom(农奴境遇) with material well-being, and he was content to move to Walden Pond and to set about the high business of living, "to front only the essential facts of life and to see what it had taught". He did not sup port that other men should build cabins and live isolated. He had no wish to say concerning the best mood of living -- each must settle that for himself. But that a satisfying life should be lived, he was very concerned.
The story of his liberation from the lower economics is the one romance of his life, and Walden is his great book. It is a book in praise of life rather than of Nature, a record of calculating economics that studied saving in order to spend more largely. But it is a book of social criticism as well, in spite of its explicit denim of such a purpose. In considering the true nature of economy he concluded that the cost of a thing is the amount of life which is required in exchange for it, immediately or in the long run. In Walden, Thoreau elaborated the text:" The only wealth is life."
The best title for this passage would be ______.
选项
A、Life at Walden Pond
B、Walden, Thoreau’s Greatest Work
C、Thoreau’s System of Moral Behavior
D、Thoreau’s Theory of the Good Life
答案
B
解析
此题要求为文章确立一个标题。本文主要介绍了Herry Thoreau对生活和金钱的看法,并由此引出这也就是其著作Walden的主要内容。因此可见此文主要是介绍Thoreau的著作Walden。文章显然不是简单描述Walden湖畔的生活,因此A)不适合;也不是讲Thoreau的道德行为体系,C)也不恰当;D)“Thoreau的幸福生活理论”也不符合文章表达的主要意思。
