In his popular courses at Mount Holyoke College in Massachusetts, he would often make classroom discussions lively by describinghis own combat experiencein Vietnam. But as Elliss reputation grew his bookson the Founding Fathers have won both the prestigious National Book Award and the Pulitzer Prize the historyprofessor began to entertain local and national reporters with his memories of war. Last year, after The Boston Globecarried accounts of Elliss experiencein the Vietnam war, someone who knew the truth about Ellis dropped a dime. Last weekThe Boston Globerevealed that Ellis, famous for explaining the nations history, had some explainingto do about his own past. “Even in the best of lives, mistakes are made,”said a wretched Ellis. It turned out that while the distinguished historian had served in the Army, hed spent his war years not in the jungles of Southeast Asia, but teaching history at West Point. Hed also overstated his role in the antiwar movement and even his high-school athletic records. His admission shocked colleagues, fellow historians and students who wondered why someone so accomplishedwould beautifyhis past. But it seems that success and truthfulnessdont always go hand in hand. Even among the distinguished achieves, security experts say, one in ten is deceiving indulging in everything from empty boasting to more serious offenses such as plagiarism, fictionalizing militaryrecords, making up false academic certificates or worse. And, oddly, prominent peoplewho beautify the past often do so once theyre famous, said Ernest Rod of Kroll Associates, which has conducted thousands of backgrounds checks. Says Brod: “Its not like they use these lies to climb the ladder.” Then what makes them do it? Psychologists say some people succeed, at least in part, because they are uniquely adjusted to the expectations of others. And no matter how well-known, those people can be haunted by a sense of their own shortcomings. “From outside, they feel hollow, empty.”1、What did Ellis lie about?1. All of the above.2. His athletic records in high school.3. His war experiencein Vietnam.4. His role in the antiwar movement.2、What does “to climb the ladder”in the second paragraph mean?1. To become more successful.2. To cover ones serious offenses.3. To go further in beautifying ones past.4. To inquire into ones background.3、While Ellis served in the Army, he _.1. taught at a military school2. exaggerated his part as a historian3. made mistakes in the antiwar movement4. combated in Vietnam4、Which of the followingis TRUE about Ellis?1. He has written a bestseller for a newspaper The Boston Globe.2. He is a famous professor of history at West Point.3. His book on the Vietnam war has won two important prizes.4. He has told both students and reportersabout his own experience of war.5、According to psychologists, successful people who lie about themselves_.1. look weak to others2. feel weak in their hearts3. take pride in their weaknesses4. think nothingof others45、After retirement from medical research, my wife and I built our home in a gated communitysurroundedby yacht clubs and golf courses on Hilton Head Island. But when I left for the other side of the island, I was travelling on unpaved roads lined with leaky cottages. The “lifestyle”of many of the native islanders stood in shocking contrast to my comfortable existence. By talking to the local folks, I discoveredthat the vast majority of the maids, gardeners, waitresses and construction workers who make this island work had little or no access to medical care. It seemed outrageous to me. I wondered why someone didnt do something about that. Then my fathers words, which he had asked his children daily when they were young, rang in my head again: “What did you do for someone today?” Even though my father had died several years before, I guess I still didnt want to disappointhim. So I started working on a solution. The island was full of retired doctors. If I could persuade them to spend a few hours a week volunteering their services, we could provide free primary health care to those so desperately in need of it. Most of the doctors I approached like the idea, so long as they could be relicensed without troubles. It took one year and plenty of persistence, but I was able to persuade the state legislators to create a special license for doctors volunteeringin not-for-profit clinics.The town donated land, local residents contributed office and medical equipment and some of the potential patientsvolunteered their weekendsornamenting the building that would become the clinic. We named it Volunteers in Medicine and we opened its doorsin 1994, fully staffed by retired physicians, nurses and dentists as well as nearly 150 nonprofessional volunteers. That year we had 5,000 patientvisits; last year we had 16,000. Somehow word of what we were doing got around. Soon we were receiving phone calls from retired physicians all over the country, asking for help in starting VIM clinics in their communities. We did the best we could there are now 15 other clinics operating but we couldnt keep up with the need. Yet last month I think my fathers words found their way up north to McNeil will allow us to respond to these requestsand help establish other free clinics in communities around the country.1、The purpose of Volunteers in Medicine is to _.1. urge the government to set up non-profit clinics2. make toe dream of the authors father come true3. provide free medical services to those who need them4. help retired medical workers improve their incomes2、What is the passage mainly about?1. The storyof a man who likes to give others advice.2. The contrast between the rich and the poor on an island.3. The life and work of a great father.4. The inspiration of a fathers words.3、Which of the following has been done by the author himself?1. Getting a special license for the retire doctors.2. Decorating the building that would become the clinic.3. Buying the medical equipment.4. Finding the land and the office.4、In the last paragraph, “I think my fathers words found their way up to north, to McNeil”implies that _.1. McNeil community was badly in need of free health care programs2. My father decided to assist us in opening more clinics in the north3. McNeil decided to do something for the needy people4. My fathers words finally reached McNeil5、The author of the passage is _.1. a retired constructionworker2. a retired medical research3. B. a retired teacher4. a retired physician 46、Most worthwhile careers require some kind of specialized training. Ideally, therefore, the choice of an _1_ should be made even before the choice of a curriculum in high school. Actually, _2_ , most people make several job choices during their working lives, _3_ because of economic and industrial changes and partly to improve _4_ position. The “one perfect job” does not exist. Young people should _5_ enter into a broad flexible training program that will _6_ them for a field of work rather than for a single _7_. Unfortunately many young people have to make career plans _8_ benefit of help from a complete vocational counselor or psychologist. Knowing _9_ about the occupational world, or themselves for that matter, they choose their lifework on a hit-or-miss _10_. Some drift from job to job.Others _11_ to work in which they are unhappy and for which they are not fitted.One common mistake is choosing an occupation for _12_ real or imagined prestige. Too many high-school students or their parents for them choose the professional field, _13_ both the relatively small proportion of workers in the professions and the extremely high educational and personal _14_. The imagined or real prestige of a profession or a “White-collar” job is _15_ good reason for choosing it as lifes work. _16_, these occupations are not always well paid. Since a large proportion of jobs are in mechanical and manual work, the _17_ of young people should give serious _18_ to these fields. Before making an occupational choice, a person should have a general idea of what he wants _19_ life and how hard he is willing to work to get it. Some people desire social prestige, others intellectual satisfaction. Some want security, others are willing to take _20_ for financial gain. Each occupational choice has its demand as well as its rewards.1、Choose the best answer from the following choices.1. multitude2. majority 3. mass 4. minority 2、Choose the best answer from the following choices.1. the2. any 3. no 4. a3、Choose the best answer from the following choices.1. basis 2. purpose 3. chance 4. opportunity4、Choose the best answer from the following choices.1. furthermore 2. since 3. therefore 4. forever5、CHoose the best answer from the following four choices.1. thereby2. however 3. therefore 4. though 6、Choose the
