I was about 13 when an uncle gave me a copy of Jostein Gaarder's Sophie's World. It was full of ideasthat were new to me, so I spent the summer with my head in and out of that book. It spoke to me andbrought me into a world of philosophy(哲学).
That love for philosophy lasted until I got to college. Nothing kills the love for philsosphy faster thanpeople who think they understand Foucault, Baudrillard, or Confucius better than you - and then try toexplain them.
Eric weiner's The Socrates Express: In Search of Life Lessons from Dead Philosophers reawakened mylove for philssophy. It is not an explanation, but an invitation to think and experience philosophy.
Weiner stara each chapter with a scene on a train ride between cities and then frames eachphilosopher's work in the centext(背景)of one thing they can help us do better. The end result is a readin which we learn to wonder like Socrates, see like Thoreau, listen like Schopenhauer, and have no re-grets like Nietzsche. This, more than a book about undestanding philosophy ,is a book abour learning touse philosophy to improve a life.
He makes philosopical thought an appealing exercise that improves the quality of our experiences,and he does so with plenty of humor. Weiner enters into conversation with some of the most importantphilosophers in history,and he becomes part of that crowd in the process by decoding(解读)theirmssages and adding his own interpretation.
The Socrates Express is a fun, sharp book that draws readers in with its apparent simplicity and grad-ually pulls them in deeper thoughts on desire, loneliness, and aging. The invitation is clear: Weinerwants you to pick up a coffee or tea and sit down with this book. I encourage you to take his offer. It'sworth your time, even if time is something we don't have a lot of.
28.Who opened the door to philosophy for the author?

C.Jostein Gaarder.

D.To help readers understand Weiners book.
30.What does the author like about The Socrates Express?

B.Its ideas can be applied to daily life.
C.It includes comments from readers.
D.It leaves an open ending.
31.What does the author think of Weiners book?

Grizaly bears, which may grow to about 2.5m long and weigh over 400kg, occupy a conflicted cor-ner of the American psyche-we rever(敬畏) them even as they give us frightening dreams. Ask the tour-ists from around the world that flood into Yellowstone National Park what they most hope to see, and theiranswer is often the same: a grizzly bear.
"Grizzly bears are re-occupying large areas of their former range," says bear biologist ChrisServheen. As grizzly bears expand their range into places where they haven't been seen in a century ormore,they're incresingly being sighted by humans.
The western half of the U.S. was full of grizzlies when Eurpeans came, with a rough number of 50,000 or more living alongside Native Americans. By the early 1970s, after centuries of cruel and continu-ous hunting by settlers, 600 to 800 grizzlies remained on a mere 2 percent of their former range in theNorthern Rockies. In 1975, grizzlies were listed under the Endangered Species Act.
Today, there are about 2,000 or more grizzly bears in the U.S. Their recovery has been so suecess-ful that the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has twice attempted to de-list grizzlies, which would loosenlegal protections and allow them to be hunted. Both efforts were overturned due to lawsuits from conserva-tion groups. For now, grizzlies remain listed.
Obviously,if precautions(预防)aren't taken, grizzlies can become troublesome, sometimes killingfarm animals or walking through yards in search of food. If people remove food and attractants from theiryards and campsites, grizzlies will typically pass by without trouble. Putting electric fencing aroundchicken houses and other farm animal quarters is also highly effective at getting grizzlies away."Our hopeis to have a clean, attractant-free place where bears ean pass through without learning bad habits," saysJames Jonkel, longtime biologist who manages bears in and around Missoula.
32.How do Americans look at grizlies?
A.They cause mixed feelings in people.
B.They should be kept in national parks.
C.They are of high scientific value.
D.They are a symbol of American culture.
33.What has helped the increase of the grizzly population?
A.The European settlers' behavior.
B.The expansion of bears' range.
C.The protection by law since 1975.
D.The support of Native Americans.
34.What has stopped the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service from de-listing grizzlies?
A.The opposition of conservation groups.
B.The successful comeback of grizzlies.
C.The voice of the biologists.
D.The local farmers'advocates.
35.What can be ierere from the last paragraph?
A.Food should be provided for grizzlies.
B.People can live in harmony with grizzlies.
C.A special path should be built for grizzlies.
D.Technology can be itroduced to protect grizzlies.
