The past ages of man have all been carefully labeled by anthropologists. Descriptions 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 choose the label ’ Legless’ Man’ Histories of the time will go something like this in the twentieth century, people forgot how to use their legs. Men and women moved about in cars, buses 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 up on earth dwellers of that time because of miles each day. But the surprising thing is that they didn’t use 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 marred by the presence of large car parks.
The future history books might also record that we were deprived of the use of our eyes. In our hurry to get from one place to another, we failed to see 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. When you travel by car or train a blurred image of the countryside constantly smears the windows. Car drivers, in particular, are forever obsessed 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 sea travel, it hardly deserves mention. It is perfectly summed up in the words of the old song: I joined the navy to see the world, and what did I see? I saw the sea. 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, Kabul, Irkutsk and someone is bound to say I’ve been there, I drove through it at 100 miles an hour on the way to somewhere else.
When you travel at high speeds, the present means nothing: you live mainly in the future because 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 present ceases to be a reality: you might just as well be dead. The traveler on foot, on the other hand, lives constantly in the present. For him traveling and arriving are one and the same thing: he arrives somewhere with every step he makes. He experiences the present 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. [br] Anthorpologists label nowadays men" Legless" because ______.
选项
A、people forget how to use his legs
B、people prefer cars, buses and trains
C、lifts and escalators prevent people from walking
D、there are a lot of transportation devices
答案
A
解析
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。
