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 primary aim in life was to ______.
选项
A、free himself from the demands of society
B、discover what Nature can tell us about how to live
C、convert others to his way of life
D、work out the best adjustment to economic
答案
D
解析
此题问及Thoreau生活的主要目标。文章第一句谈到The single business of Henry Thoreau…was to discover economy calculated to provide a satisfying life.(Henry Thoreau的一生的目的就是发现经过计算提供满意生活的经济。)因此D)“找出最好的经济调整方式(以提供最好的生活)”正确。A)未在文中提及;提到nature是在最后一段:It is a book…praise of life rather than of Nature.(此书是赞扬生活而不是自然的。)B)与本题无关;倒数第二段中He did not support 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. (他并不支持别人也搭建小屋独居。他并不想就何为生活最佳状态发表意见——因为这是个人的事。)所以C)也不正确。
