factors contributing to the making of this flew nation and the forming of a new culture are the hard
environment, ethnic diversity(多民族) and plural religion, which is quite different from other nations in
the world.What is more, these elements are still influencing the American culture.
The early immigrants who were English Puritans settled down in northeast part of America. From
1607 to 1892, frontiers were pushed further west.The frontiersmen looked for a land of rich resources
and a land of promise, opportunity and freedom.Actually they looked for a better life.So individualism
(个人主义), selfreliance, and equality of opportunity have perhaps been the values most closely
associated with the frontier heritage(遗产) of America.
In history, people from different countries in the world rushed to America three times.They brought
their own culture to America and later on,different cultures were mixed together.Thus the unique
American culture is formed,a common cultural life with commonly shared values.
The fundamental American belief in individual freedom and the fight of individuals to practice their
own religion is at the center of religious experience in the United States.The great diversity of ethnic
backgrounds has produced religious pluralism; almost all of the religions of the world are now practiced
in the United States.
Nowadays, we can see the continual influence of the three elements in the current American society.
American family is typically parents and their unmarried children.Middleaged and elderly people generally do not live with their married children.The people in America have a very strong desire to start a new life
in a new place.Quite a number of people change residences every year.The average American moves
fourteen times in his lifetime.

green business that is certain to
appeal to environmentallyaware musiclovers, a design student is to receive financial support to produce ecofriendly tents made of cardboard that can be recycled after the bands and the crowds have gone home.Major festivals such as Glastonbury throw away some 10,000 abandoned tents at the end of events
each year.For his final year project at the University of the West of England, James Dunlop came up with
a material that can be recycled.And to cope with the British summer, the cardboard has been made
waterproof.
Taking inspiration from a Japanese architect, who has used cardboard to make big buildings
including churches, Mr.Dunlop used cardboard material for his tents, which he called Myhabs.
The design won an award at the annual New Designers Exhibition after Mr.Dunlop graduated from
his product design degree and he decided to try to turn it into a business.
To raise money for the idea, he toured the city"s private companies which fund new business and
found a supporter in the finance group Mint.He introduced his idea to four of Mint"s directors and won
their support.Mint has committed around ￡500,000 to Myhabs and taken a share of 30 percent in
Mr.Dunlop"s business.The first Myhabs should be tested at festivals this summer, before being marketed
fully next year.
Mr.Dunlop said that the design, which accommodates two people, could have other uses, such as for
disaster relief and housing for the London Olympics.
For music events, the cardboard houses will be ordered on
line and put up at the sites by the Myhabsteam before the festivalgoers arrive and removed by the company afterwards.They can be personalized
and the company will offer reductions on the expense if people agree to sell exterior (外部的) advertising
space.
The biggest festivals attract tens of thousands of participants, with Glastonbury having some 150,000
each year.Altogether there are around 100 annual music festivals where people camp in the UK.The
events are becoming increasingly environmentally conscious.

The literal meaning of philosophy is "love of wisdom". But this meaning does not tell us very much.
Unlike the other disciplines, philosophy cannot be defined by what you study, because it is actually
unlimited. Anything can be the subject matter of philosophy: are, history, law, language, literature,
mathematics, and in fact, the other academic disciplines are directly related to philosophy. For this reason
you get a Doctorate(博士学位)of Philosophy (Ph. D. ) in biochemistry, or computer science, or
psychology
Two broad sub-fields of philosophy are logic and the history of philosophy. Logic is the science of
argument and critical thinking. It provides sound methods for distinguishing good from bad reasoning. The history of philosophy involves the study of major philosophers and periods in the development of
philosophy.
Of what use is philosophy? First it is useful in educational advancement. It is necessary for
understanding other disciplines. Only philosophy questions the nature of the concepts used in a discipline,
and its relation to other disciplines. And through the study of philosophy, one develops sound methods of
research and analysis that can be applied to any field.
There are a number of general uses of philosophy. It strengthens one"s ability to solve problems, to
communicate, to organize ideas and issues, to persuade, and to take what is the most important from a
large quantity of data. These general uses are of great benefit in the career field, not necessarily for
obtaining one"s first job after graduation, but for preparing for positions of responsibility, management and leadership later on. It is very short-sighted after all, to take a course of studies only for the purpose of
getting one"s first job. The useful skills developed through the study of philosophy have significant long-term benefits in career advancement. No other discipline systematically follows the ideals of wisdom, leadership, and capacity to resolve human conflict
1. What"s the meaning of philosophy according to the passage?
A. social sciences
B. both social and natural sciences
C. natural sciences
D. the subject matter of politics
2. What does "discipline" mean in the first paragraph?
A. literature
B. science
C. subject
D. occupation
3. With the study of philosophy, you can .
A. make progress in your career development
B. succeed in everything
C. find a good job soon after graduation
D. become a great leader
4. According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE?
A. Philosophy is an independent discipline.
B. The study of philosophy brings you immediate benefits.
C. Logic helps you to become a better thinker.
D. The meaning of philosophy is too limited to define.
5. From the passage, we can conclude .
A. not all the subjects have to do with philosophy
B. philosophy can be helpful for the study of any other subjects
C. a person will get a Ph. D. if he/she studies philosophy
D. philosophy is the only solution to all the problems in the world
