A scientist is apt to think that all the problems of philosophy will ultimately be solved by science. I think this is true for a great many of the questions on which philosophers still argue. For example, Plato thought that when we saw something, one ray of light came to it from the sun, and another from our eyes and that seeing was something like feeling with a stick. We now know that the light comes from the sun, and is reflected into our eyes. We don't know in much detail how the changes in our eyes give rise to sensation. But there is every reason to think that as we learn more about the physiology of the brain, we shall do so, and that the great philosophical problems about knowledge are going to be pretty fully cleared up.

But if our descendants know the answers to these questions and others that perplex us today, there will still be one field of which they do not know, namely the future. However exact our science; we cannot know it as we know the past. Philosophy may be described as argument about things of which we are ignorant. And where science gives us a hope of knowledge it is often reasonable to suspend judgment. That is one reason why Marx and Engels quite rightly wrote to many philosophical problems that interested their contemporaries.

But we have got to prepare for the future, and we cannot do so rationally without some philosophy. Some people say we have only got to do the duties revealed in the past and laid down by religion, and god will look after the future. Others say that the world is a machine and the course of future events is certain, whatever efforts we may make. Marxists say that the future depends on ourselves, even though we are part of the historical process. This philosophical view certainly does inspire people to very great achievements. Whether it is true or not, it is powerful guide to action.

We need a philosophy, then, to help us to tackle the future. Agnosticism easily becomes an excuse for laziness and conservatism. Whether we adopt Marxism or any other philosophy, we cannot understand it without knowing something of how it developed. That is why knowledge of the history of philosophy is important to Marxists, even during the present critical days.

What is the main idea of this passage？

A．The argument whether philosophy will ultimately be solved by science or not.

B．The importance of learning philosophies, especially the history of philosophy.

C．The difference between philosophy and science.

D．A discuss about how to set a proper attitude towards future.

Scotland：A Land of Wisdom

In the l740s，the famous French philosopher Voltaire said“We look to Scotland for all our ideas of civilization．’’That’S not a bad advertisement for any country when it comes to attracting people to search for a first-class education．

According to the American author Arthur Herman，the Scots invented the modern world it self．He argues that Scottish thinkers and intellectuals worked out many of the most important ideas on which modern life depends——everything from the scientific method to market economics．Their ideas did not just spread among intellectuals，but to those people in business，government and the sciences who actually shaped the Western world．

It all started during the period that historians call the Scottish Enlightenment（启蒙运动），which is usually seen as taking place between the years l 740 and l 800．Before that，philosophy was mainly concerned with religion．For the thinkers of the Scottish Enlightenment，the proper study of humanity was mankind itself．

Their reasoning was practical．For the philosopher David Hume，humanity was the fight subject for philosophy because we can examine human behavior. and SO find real evidence of how people think and feel．And from that we can make judgments about the societies we live in and make

concrete suggestions about how they can be improved，for universal benefit．

Hume’s enquiry into the nature of knowledge laid the foundations for the scientific method the pursuit of truth through experiment．His friend and fellow resident of Edinburgh，Adam Smith，famously applied the study of mankind to the ways in which mankind does business．Trade，he argued，was a form. of information．In pursuing our own interests through trading in markets，we all come to benefit each Other．

Smith’s idea has dominated modern views of economics．It also has wide applications．He was one of the philosophers to point out that nations can become rich，free and powerful through peace，trade and invention．

Although the Scottish Enlightenment ended a long time ago，the ideas which evolved at that time still underpin（构成……的基础）our theories of human exchange and enquiry．It also exists in Scotland itself in an educational tradition that combines academic excellence with orientation（方向）．

Scotland is the right place to receive a first．class education． 查看材料

The power of words,then,lies in their associations----the things they bring up before our minds.Words become filled with meaning for us by experience; and the longer we live,the more certain words recall to us the glad and sad events of our past; and the more we read and learn,the more the number of words that mean something increases.

Great writers are those who not only have great thoughts but also express these thoughts in words which appeal powerfully to our minds and emotions.This charming and telling use of words is what we call literary style.Above all,the real poet is a master of words.He can convey his meaning in words which sing like music and which by their position and association can move men to tears.We should therefore learn to choose our words carefully and use them accurately,or they will make our speech silly and vulgar(粗俗的).
