【正文】 te know where you fit into this world and you39。re tired of carrying that burden alone? I answered strangers39。 questions on life puzzles at the entrance to the New York City subway at 57th and 8th. A group of strangers had stopped by because they were carrying around some deep, meaningful questions that had long gone unanswered, like why can39。t I be happier in my life? And then I spotted her, who would be my toughest questioner of the day. She was about 6 years old and held her mother39。s hand as she craned (伸長脖子) her neck to stare at us. Her mother stopped, but the girl hesitated. It39。s OK, I offered. Do you have a question? The girl smiled at her mother, then let go of her hand to walk over towards us. She looked me dead in the eye and said: How do I know I39。m real? Suddenly I was back in graduate school.

Moore and his famous here is one hand, here is the other, to prove the existence of the external world? But then the answer came to me. I remembered that the most important part of philosophy was feeding our sense of wonder. Close your eyes, I said. She did. Well, did you disappear? She smiled and shook her head, then opened her eyes. Congratulations, you39。re real. She grinned (露齒而笑) broadly and walked over to her mother, who looked back at us and smiled.（1）Why did the author show up at the entrance of the subway?

Over the last three and a half years, the antilittering woman has spent most of her free time picking up cigarette butts (煙頭) from the streets of her home city. Called the Butt Lady by her local munity, Dawly began her mission to rid the streets of her city of cigarette butts in October, 2014. The woman looked for cigarette butts, picked them up and threw them in the trash. To keep a count of how many butts she picks up, the Butt Lady has been using a tablet, and earlier this month, she hit a historic milestone—one million cigarette butts. I got tired of going on my walks and seeing cigarette butts everywhere, Sally Dawly said. I39。m just shocked that I had to pick up so many. I39。ve ever picked up 3,000 butts in one day, she said.
