做托福听力

刚刚好听力一篇罗梭在瓦尔登湖里面对于火车的看法

然后我做完题目停下来歇息一下 看看上有什么好看的

我猛然看见了什么创作训练广告，我感觉这个地方怎么越来越商业化，就感觉

像是一个搭了一个莱迪广场，里面各组小商铺相互叫卖

传授各组商铺经营技巧

我来引用听力里面的一段话：

And he extends this critique to other inventions of the day, like the penny press, this very fast steam-driven press. He talks about popular literary genres, like penny newspapers and dime novels, which were being published in mass quantities.

He worries about people no longer thinking for themselves and uncritically accepting all this cheap popular literature and the trivial details of the news.

So this is one way to think about Thoreau's text, not just as an important book in its time, for what it tells us about the nineteenth century, but also as a text that can teach us certain things about ourselves in contemporary society.
