Lesson 16-1 The modern city 现代城市
In the organization of industrial life the influence of the factory upon the
physiological and mental state of the workers has been completely neglected．Modern
industry is based on the conception of the maximum production at lowest cost, in order
that an individual or a group of individuals may earn as much money as possible．It
has expanded without any idea of the true nature of the human beings who run the
machines, and without giving any consideration to the effects produced on the
individuals and on their descendants by the artificial mode of existence imposed by the
factory．The great cities have been built with no regard for us．
