It is physically impossible for a well-educated, intellectual(理性的), or brave man to make money the chief of his thoughts; as physically impossible as it is for him to make his dinner the principal object of them. All healthy people like their dinner, but their dinner is not the main object of their lives. So all healthy-minded people like making money but the main object of their lives is not money; it is something better than money.
A good soldier, for instance, mainly wishes to do his fighting well. He is glad for his pay very properly so, and justly grumbles (抱怨) when you keep him ten months without it; still his main motion of his life is to win battles, not to be paid for winning them.
So of doctors. They like fees no doubt-ought to like them; yet if they are brave and well-educated, the entire object of their lives is not fees. They, on the whole, desire to cure the sick, and they are good doctors, and the choices were fairly put to them would rather cure their patients and lose their fees than kill him and get it. And so with all other brave and rightly trained men, their work is first, their fee second, very important always, but still second.
The main idea of the text is that _______.

Many cities around the world today are heavily polluted. Careless methods of production and lack of consumer demand for environment(环境) friendly products have contributed to the pollution problem. One result is that millions of tons of glass, paper, plastic, and metal containers are produced, and these are difficult to get rid of.
However, today more and more consumers are choosing "green" and demanding that the products they buy should be safe for the environment. Before they buy a product, they ask questions like these: "Will this shampoo damage the environment？ .... Can this metal container be reused or can it only be used once？"
A recent study showed that two out of five adults now consider the environmental safety of a product before they buy it. This means that companies must now change the way they make ad sell their products to make sure that they are "green", that is, friendly to the environment.
Only a few years ago, it was impossible to find green products in supermarkets, but now there are hundreds. Some supermarket products carry labels (标签) to show that the product is green. Some companies have made the manufacturing(生产) of clean and safe products their main selling point and emphasize it in their advertising.
The concern for a safer and cleaner environment is making companies rethink how they do business. No longer will the public accept the old attitude of "Buy it, use, it, throw it away, and forget it." The public pressure it on, and gradually business is cleaning up its act.
It becomes clear from the text that the driving force (动力)behind green products is ________.
That's what they believe. However, kilts are not really so old. Before 1730, Scottish men wore a long shirt and blanket around their shoulders. Theses clothes got in the way when they started to work in factories. So, in 1730 a factory owner changed the blanket into a skirt: the kilt. That's how the first kilt was made.
Then, in the late 1700s Scottish soldiers in the British Army began to wear kilts. One reason for this was national sentiment: The Scottish soldiers wanted to look different from the English soldiers. The British Army probably had a different reason. A Scottish soldier in a kilt was always easy to find! The Scottish soldiers fought very hard and became famous. The kilt was part of that fame, and in the early 1800s men all through Scotland began to wear kilts.
These kilts had colorful stripes going up and down and across. In the 1700s and early 1800s, the color of the stripes had no special meaning. Men sometimes owned kilts in several different colors. But later the colors became important to the Scottish families. By about 1850, most families had special colors for their kilts. For example, men from the Campbell family had kilts with green, yellow and blue stripes. Scottish people often believe that the colors of the kilts are part of their family history. In fact, each family just chose the colors they liked best.
This is not the story you will hear today if you are in Scotland. Most Scottish people still believe that kilts are as old as Scotland and that the colors are as old as the Scottish families. Sometimes feelings are stronger than facts!
