2010年大学英语四六级考试精读荟萃100篇(11)
(The only way to travel is on foot)
The past ages of man have all been carefully labeled by anthropologists. Descriptions like ‘ Palaeolithic 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 慙egless Man? Histories of the time will go something like this: 慽n 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.

I saw the sea.?The typical twentieth-century traveler is the man who always says 慖抳e bee n 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’ – meaning, ‘I drove through it at 100 miles an hour on t
