Americans: Restless? Illiterate(没文化的) ?

Americans are queer people: they can’t rest. They have more time, more leisure, shorter work hours, more holidays, and more vacations than any other people in the world. But they can’t rest. They rush up and down across their continent as tourists; they move about in great herds to conferences; they search the wilderness; they flood the mountains; they keep the hotels full. But they can’t rest. The scenery rushes past them. They learn it. Battles and monuments are announced to them on a tour bus. They hear them, but they don’t get them. They never stop moving; they rush up and down as Shriners, Masons, Old Graduates, Bankers—they are a new thing each day, always rushing to a reunion or something. So they go on rushing about till eventually the undertaker (殡葬工) gather them to the grave.

They’re too busy. They use them for fires and to make more paper with. They buy eagerly thousands of new novels at two dollars each. But they read only page one. Their streets are full of huge signs. They won’t look at them. Their streetcars are filled with advertising; they turn their eyes away.

Tons of letters pour into the mail boxes, through the houses, and down the garbage cans. No one reads them.

Reading is not the only way to gain knowledge of the work in the past. There is another large reservoir (知识库) which may be called experience, and the college students will find that every craftsman (工匠) has something he can teach and will generally teach gladly to any college student who does not look down upon them. The information from them differs from that in textbooks and papers chiefly in that its theoretical (理论的) part -- the explanations of why things happen -- is frequently quite fantastic (神奇的) . But the demonstration (示范) and report of what happens, and how it happens are correct even if the reports are in completely unscientific terms. Presently the college students will learn, in this case also, what to accept and what to reject. One important thing for a college student to remember is that if Aristotle could talk to the fisherman, so can he.

　　Another source of knowledge is the vast store of traditional practices handed down from father to son , or mother to daughter, of old country customs ,of folklore (风俗). All this is very difficult for a college student to examine, for much knowledge and personal experience is needed here to separate good plants from wild grass.The college students should learn to realize and remember how much of real value science has found in this wide, confused wilderness and how often scientific discoveries of what had existed in this area long age.

1. In the last paragraph the phrase "this wide, confused wilderness" refers to _____.

A．personal experience

B．wild weeds among good plants

C．the information from the parents

D．the vast store of traditional practices

2. Which of the following statements is supported by the passage?

A．The college students have trouble separating good plants from wild grass

B．Craftsman’s experience is usually unscientific

C．The contemptuous (傲慢的) college students will receive nothing from craftsmen

D．Traditional practices are as important as experience for the college students

3. The author advises the college students to ______ .

A．be contemptuous to the craftsman

B．be patient in helping the craftsman with scientific terms

C．learn the craftsman’s experience by judging it carefully

D．gain the craftsman’s experience without rejection

4. The main idea of this passage is about ________.

A．what to learn from the parents B．how to gain knowledge

C．why to learn from craftsman D．how to deal with experience
