Socrates ——a Great Thinker

　　 Socrates was born in 469 B.C.We 1 very little about his childhood.When he was 2 up he spent his life in the 3for wisdom（智慧） and truth.Sometimes he sat 4 thought by himself.At other 5 he discussed things in conversation （会话） with 6 people.These conversations were his most 7 way of working.He used to 8 talking with the young men or artists or teachers whom he met in the streets and asking questions. “What do you 9 by happiness?”he would ask.Or “How does a man 10a really good life?”Or “How can a person 11 serve his country?”He was always 12 to discuss any question of politics,or science,or 13 life ought to be lived.

　　Socrates wrote 14 himself.The 　　 15of some of his conversations was written 　　16 later.This was done by another thinker called Plato,who had 17 with Socrates.

　　Although 18 of people liked him and 19 him,he made a lot of enemies.This is not 20when you remember that Socrates took no 21 to keep away from trouble.If he saw the　　 22he said it,even if it might made 23 people angry.If a foolish man thought himself to be 24,Socrates was always ready to show how little he really 25.

Tess still stood hesitating like a swimmer about to make his dive，hardly knowing whether to return or move forward，when a figure came out from the dark door of the tent．It was a tall young man，smoking

 He had an almost black face，though red and smooth．His moustache was black with curled points，though he could not be more than twenty, three or—four．There was an unusual force in his face，and in his daring rolling eyes．w.w.w.k.s.5.u.c.o.

 Well，my beauty, what can I do for you?’said he，coming forward．And seeing that she was quite m a loss：'Never mind me. I am Mr.d’Urberville,．Have you come to see me or my mother?’

  This differed greatly from what Tess had expected．She had dreamed of an aged and dignified face．She tried to keep calm and answered —I came to see your mother, sir．

  I am afraid you cannot see her—she is ill in bed, replied the representative of the house；for this was Mr．Alee, the only son of the noble family．’What is the business you wish to see her about?’ w.w.w.k.s.5.u.c.o.

 “It isn't business—it is—I can hardly say what!”

 “Pleasure?”

 “Oh no．Why, sir if tell you, it will seem—”

 Tess's sense of a certain ridicule was now so strong that, despite her general discomfort at being here，her rosy lips curved(弯曲)towards a smile, much to the attraction of the young man．

 “It is so foolish，she stammered(急急巴巴地说)：“I fear 1 can't tell you!”

  “Never mind；I like foolish things．Try again，my dear’said he kindly．

 “Mother asked me to come，’Tess continued；and，indeed，I was in the mind to do so myself. But I did not think it would be like this．I came，sir, to tell you that we are of the same family as you”

“Ho! Poor relations?’

“Yes．”

“Stokes?”

“No; d’Urbervilles.”

“Ay, ay；I mean d'Urbervilles．”

“Our names are worn away to Durbeyfield; but we have several proofs that we are d’Urbervilles. The local scholars hold the view that we are, —and—and we have an old seal（印章）and a silver spoon marked with the same castle as yours. So mother said we ought to make ourselves known to you, as we’ve lost our horse by a bad accident; we can hardly make a living.”

“Very kind of your mother, I’m sure,” Alec looked at Tess as he spoke, in a way that made her uneasy.  “And so, my pretty girl, you’ve come on a friendly visit to us, as relations?”

“I suppose I have,” looking less confident and uncomfortable again.

“Well—there’s no harm in it. Where do you live? What are you?
