Grand Canyon National Park
Located entirely in northern Arizona, the park covers 277 miles of the Colorado

B
Even when communing with nature we depend on technology for help — but then,
so did Thoreau (梭罗) at Walden Pond (瓦尔登湖).
Walking in the same woods yesterday, I let myself wander at random, communing
with nature.
I took in beautiful scenery near and far thanks to my progressive-lens eyeglasses.
Occasionally I’d pull out my smartphone to take pictures on anything interesting. I
recorded an inner monologue with a background of all sounds of the forest. At times, I
consulted my smart watch to check on my heartbeat, mileage and calorie burn.
Eventually I realized I was quite lost. Not a problem of course. Online maps came to my
rescue.
But something bothered me. In what I’d intended as a nature experience, here I was
using very high technology to help myself out. This insight triggered a reconsideration
of everything that happened during my “nature walk,” which had been technologically
enhanced every step of the way. I’d been functioning as a man-machine combination: a
cyborg.
What would the true naturalist Thoreau think of that? My first thought was that
he’d be shocked. But later I did some research. Thoreau enjoyed what his spyglass
discovered, like this eagle from his journal:
Lying on the ground with my glass, I could watch him very easily ... till I almost
lost him in the clouds ... I think I have got the worth of my glass now that it has revealed
to me the white-headed eagle.
Famously, Thoreau always set out equipped with a walking stick, which he used
not only for support but also to take measurements of water and snow levels. His hat
was also a tool, which he called his “botany-box.” And he was prepared even with
needles and thread, so when coming out of the woods, he was “the best dressed.”
Clearly, Thoreau was a bit of a cyborg himself.
Thinking more deeply, I realized we’ve come a long way from our hunter-gatherer
ancestors, who walked from necessity and relied on nature’s gift. Cyborgs are us.
24. What is the purpose of the text?
A. To recommend Thoreau’s book Walden Pond.
B. To argue that humans have developed into cyborgs.
C. To share the reflections on man’s reliance on nature.
D. To question whether people are technology-dependent.
25. Which picture best illustrates a cyborg in the author’s eye?
