7、 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 itself.He argues that Scottish thinkers and intellectuals worked out many of the most important ideas on which modern life dep

8、ends-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)

9、,which is usually seen as taking place between the years 1740 and 1800.Before that,philosophy was mainly concemed 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 th

10、e right 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. Humes enquiry into the na

11、ture 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 infrmation.In pursuing our ow

12、n interests through trading in markets,we all come to benefit each other. Smiths 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 Scott

13、ish 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). （分数：7.00）(1).Scotland is the right place

17、e British Medical Association in the UK recently called for hospital doctors to stop wearing ties. 2 That leads to another question.Why does anyone wear a tie?Ties serve no purpose.They do not cover any part of your body and keep you warm.They always seem to get covered in food stains.Perhaps that i

18、s the purpose of the tie.It lets everyone know what you just ate. 3 Ties have an odd history.Soldiers from Croatia,in Eastern Europe,served as mercenaries(雇佣军)in various conflicts in the 17th century.They were identified by brightly colored pieces of silk worn around the neck.Known as cravats(围巾),th

19、ese became a popular fashion item in France and evertually evolved into the tie. 4 Its an interesting story,but it doesnt tell us why men want to put useless pieces of cloth or silk around their necks.The answer seems to be about identification(身份证明).In the 19th-century Britain,ties were used by uni

20、versities,military regiments(团),sports clubs,schools and gentlemans clubs.Each tie was in a particular set of colors which identified the wearer as a member of that organization.Wearing ties was also the mark of Britains most powerful classes.That made the tie itself a symbol of power and respect.An

21、d that led it to be adopted by a much larger class-the business class. 5 You cannot wear a tie if you work with machinery.So wearing a tie became a sign that you were a man who used his brain to make a living,rather than his hands.It showed you were serious.It showed you were a professional.It meant

22、 that everyone who wanted a job in business had to wear one.It was just impossible to take seriously a man who did not wear a piece of colored silk around his neck.This is how millions of people came to wear ties across the world. 6 Is there a future for ties?The signs are not promising.Many politic
