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."
Thoreau’s solution to the problem of living was to ______.
选项
A、write for a living
B、make other man work for him
C、live in a simple way
D、study nature
答案
D
解析
此题问及Thoreau解决人生问题的途径。文中第三段提到Thoreau搬到Walden进行研究是为了front only the essential facts of life and to see what it had taught(面对生活实质,学习生活内容),可以得出只有 D)“研究自然”以发现生活的意义是他解决这一问题的途径。A)文中未涉及;第二段中To exploit one’s fellows seemed to Thorean’s sensitive social conscience an even greater disloyalty.(去剥削别人对 Thoreau敏感的社会意识来说更为不道德。)所以Thoreau并不主张剥削他人,这有悖于他的社会意识,因此B)不正确;从最后一段对Walden一书的介绍中,说其是a record of calculating economics that stud ied saving in order to spend more largely(为了花更多的钱而研究储蓄,计算经济的记录),得出C)“过简单生活”显然也不是他选择的方式。
